About the Company

La Rabida Children's Hospital

Pediatric chronic illness care hospital

La Rabida Children's Hospital is a nonprofit pediatric specialty hospital in Chicago that provides extended acute and long-term care for children with lifelong medical conditions, delivered through inpatient units, outpatient clinics, and rehabilitation services. Care is provided by multidisciplinary teams across programs like the Chicago Children's Diabetes Center, NICU transition care, and a Children's Advocacy Center, with education and research support from an affiliation with the University of Chicago. Unlike some pediatric hospitals, La Rabida relies heavily on Medicaid funding and offers care regardless of a family's ability to pay, while integrating social services such as food pantries to address social determinants of health. Its goal is to improve health and quality of life for children with complex medical needs.
