Services
The Boehm Center addresses the financial and medical needs of children born with congenital birth defects such as spina bifida (open spine) and hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain).
The Boehm Center provides necessary medical care from routine clinical care and exams to advanced surgical procedures. If insurance is not available, our physicians and staff work with the families to find resources to pay for needed medical care. If the child is hospitalized or requires surgery, the Boehm Center works with the hospital to pay for any fees, or services, not covered by insurance. The Center also provides financial assistance for durable medical goods such as walkers, wheelchairs, braces, and eyeglasses. In addition to the medical, physical and financial care, the Boehm Center assists the psychosocial needs of the families by offering services ranging from the handling of insurance and appointment scheduling to family and patient education.
