Introducing the Salah Foundation Children's Hospital at Broward Health
|
Fort Lauderdale based
Broward Health recently announced that
Broward Health Children's Hospital will be renamed the
Salah Foundation Children's Hospital at Broward Health.
The new name is in honor of the Salah Foundation's generous $10 million, dollar-for-dollar, all-or-nothing challenge grant where the
Broward Health Foundation successfully raised another $10 million from the community to match this extraordinary gift. The ambitious, two-year capital campaign raised more than $22 million toward the $52 million renovation and expansion of the 125-bed acute care children's hospital at
Broward Health Medical Center. Other major contributors to the campaign include
Mrs. Lorraine Thomas, Pediatrix Medical Group and
EmCare.
Renovations will include new private, neonatal pediatric intensive care units and private pediatric suites, part of a new facility that will be both kid-friendly and family-centered. Construction should be completed by mid-2019.
