Some La Rabida Children's Hospital's patients got treated to some special holiday gifts Monday and go to make stuffed animals.
The South Side hospital treats interdisciplinary conditions in children primarily from the South and West sides of Chicago. Ninety percent are Medicare enrollees. Holding holiday events for those facing lengthy stays at the hospital is critical to creating a sense of normalcy.
"It is the holidays so we want to make sure they have more than what they need," said George Hardin, head of volunteer services for La Rabida Children's Hospital.& Company sponsored much of Monday's gift giving, and the bear manufacturing was coordinated by Cook County Commissioner Bill Lowry.
The original buildings for La Rabida hospital were actually built by the Spanish government for the 1893 World Exposition in Chicago. After that, they donated the buildings to the city to serve as a center for children's health. Nowadays some 9,000 kids come through here every year for complex care and we can say 100% of them, at least today, are excited the holidays are just around the corner.
