At Hospital for Special Care we have a dedicated staff and innovative programs for those special needs - and more. Our Health and Fitness programs pay particular attention to the needs and desires of people with disabilities to participate in recreational and competitive sports. Our Aquatic Rehabilitation Center is fully accessible and features rehabilitative and fitness programs for people of all physical abilities.
The Aquatic Rehabilitation and Fitness Center (opened in 1999), is located on the campus of Hospital for Special Care in New Britain. This dynamic 27,000 square foot facility provides a beautiful, easily accessible center for people rehabilitating after illness or injury as well as for those who want to build their strength and fitness level and improve their overall health.
The purpose of the CSC Child Care Center program is to offer high quality care and experiences to the children of CSC employees and community members.

In many TBI cases, the injured person seems fine on the surface, yet continues to endure chronic functional problems. It isn't easy to see or to 'put your finger on' what’s wrong, but the injury is real, and it requires treatment.

Each year volunteers contribute more than 22,000 hours to support the staff, patients and visitors. Volunteers can be placed with direct patient contact or provide clerical support in various departments.
