This year, we embarked on an ambitious planning process for modernizing our inpatient areas. This process included extensive work and input, not only from skilled architects and designers, but more importantly, from nurses, physicians, staff, parents and even our young patients. In the coming year, we hope to complete the planning process, kick-off a capital campaign, and begin construction on an inpatient space that will best accommodate the needs of our patients and those of their families and caregivers. This project will continue La Rabida's strong tradition of creating child-friendly, homelike spaces amidst a technologically advanced, medical environment. Every little touch is done with care and kids know when you care.
Children are intuitive.
They are resilient, inspiring, and most of all, they continuously remind us of what is important in life. This parent's quote about La Rabida summarizes perhaps the single most important element that makes us special. It is something our families sense when they walk in our doors and speak with our staff. It is something our children sense each time we touch them. It is the one thing that allows us to excel in everything we do when caring for children.
