Building the new hospital - the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago
Dear Friends,
Since the end of the 19th century, Children’s Memorial has been a pioneer in the field of children’s health care. We became pioneers, too, when we broke ground for the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.
Our future site and facility are necessary elements that will support our greater purpose — to provide children in our community with access to the most advanced cures, treatments and technologies performed by the best minds in pediatric medicine and research in a family-centered environment.
Children's Memorial recognizes that family members and health professionals are partners in the care of hospitalized children. Our future, state-of-the-art facility will be designed with these partnerships in mind. It will accommodate the needs of our patients and their families and equip our patient care teams with the best technology available. The design will be focused on providing patients and families with more comfortable accommodations and allow more space for advanced diagnostic and treatment equipment at the bedside.
With the building of the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, we will witness a convergence of world-class research, clinical care and technology that will change the face of health care for this and future generations. I firmly believe there is no greater dream for our city, for our children, or for our future.
Regards,
Patrick M. Magoon
President and Chief Executive Officer
