Patients with somatic symptom disorders often spend years moving through the healthcare system without meaningful improvement. Multiple specialists, repeated testing, changing treatment plans. Each provider addresses a piece of the picture, but without shared coordination, the cycle continues.

Physical symptoms, behavioral health factors, and nervous system responses need to be evaluated together to be understood accurately. For adolescents whose symptoms have not responded to less intensive care, that level of coordination matters.

For years, Sergio Quintana's family traveled far from home searching for a facility that truly understood Prader-Willi Syndrome. In New Mexico, they found themselves constantly in "education mode," explaining PWS to providers who had never treated it.

At the Jump Start Program at Nexus Children's Hospital, that changed. Sergio's interdisciplinary team built the structure, routine, and individualized care plan he needed to stabilize his behaviors, address complex GI challenges, and prepare for a sustainable future.

"At Nexus, we didn't have to explain anything. They just got it." — Cindy Quintana, Sergio's grandmother

At Nexus Health Systems, we are Powered by Purpose. Everything we do is driven by one clear motivation: achieving lasting outcomes for medically complex patients.

Summer doesn't have to mean chaos. For children with autism or neurodevelopmental disorders, building enjoyable activities into consistent structure helps maintain the progress and stability built throughout the school year.

A few approaches that tend to work well:
• Keep wake times, meals, and bedtimes consistent.
• Choose outings with sensory-friendly options. Call ahead to ask about crowd levels, noise, and possible low-stimulation hours.
• Use visual schedules to preview new activities and learn what to expect.
• Incorporate special interests into summer activities wherever possible.

For children whose behaviors escalate significantly without school-year structure, summer can also serve as a clinical signal. If you are supporting a child with autism or a neurodevelopmental disorder who may need a higher level of care, the New Directions Program at Nexus Health Systems provides an interdisciplinary inpatient program integrating medical, behavioral, and rehabilitative care.

After a severe traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or neurological event, patients often leave the acute hospital medically stable but still requiring intensive rehabilitation and coordinated oversight.

The Rise Program at Nexus Children’s Hospital provides hospital-level rehabilitation and ongoing medical care for pediatric patients recovering from complex neurological diagnoses. Our interdisciplinary teams focus on physical recovery, cognitive progress, behavioral stabilization, and caregiver education within a structured environment designed to bridge hospital to home.
