context_section_description: Morris David Wolfson (father of Louis Wolfson), made a $500,000 donation in 1946 to create a children's healthcare facility in Jacksonville. He was inspired to create the foundation following the death of a grandchild. The facility opened in 1955 as a wing in the Baptist Memorial Hospital with 50 beds. In 1971, Baptist Memorial established the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit within the Wolfson Memorial Children's Hospital. That was followed a year later by the opening of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Baptist Medical Center paid tribute to one of its chief benefactors, the Wolfson Family Foundation, by renaming Jacksonville Wolfson Children's Hospital as Wolfson Children's Hospital in 1992. The $45 million, 180-bed hospital opened on November 13, 1993.
  Wolfson Children's Hospital was named the only state-designated Pediatric Trauma Referral Center in Northeast Florida, the Florida Department of Health announced on July 2, 2018.
