Governor J.B. Pritzker visited La Rabida this month to celebrate the holidays with our patients and their families. During his visit, the Governor transformed into Santa’s helper and accompanied our staff in distributing toys to kids in our annual Elf Room.
Once his elf duties were completed, Governor Pritzker toured the hospital to learn more about La Rabida and our mission to provide quality healthcare to children with complex medical conditions, visiting our rehab gym, child life pavilion, therapy kitchen, and our inpatient unit. While aboard the S.S. La Rabida inpatient unit, the Governor was able to spend some quality time with patients and their families.
Thank you, Governor Pritzker, for joining us this holiday season!
