At La Rabida, we provide care and support to the entire patient family. A big part of what we do is educating parents and caregivers about how to care for their child and practice therapies at home, as well as navigate everyday life living with the child’s diagnoses.

It’s no secret that good nutrition leads to better health outcomes, which is why we love it when the folks from Just Roots Chicago come to visit!

Every other week, its Fresh Food Farmacy comes to La Rabida to provide patients and their families with freshly harvested produce from its farms, paired with cooking demonstrations, nutrition guides, health and wellness classes, and more.

Additionally, once a month, Chef Shawana from Common Threads offers cooking demonstrations designed to help kids and families better understand the connection between nutrition and health outcomes. She shares skills and resources to help them learn to use healthier foods with simple recipes.
