At La Rabida Children’s Hospital, our patients aren’t like any other — and neither are we. The children we serve live with complex medical conditions, disabilities, abuse, or trauma. At La Rabida, we’re in it for the long haul, and we’ve got Chicago’s most talented providers — pediatricians, nurses, physical, occupational, speech, and developmental therapists — on our side.

We have more than 100 years of experience treating children and helping them reach their fullest potential. Each year, we help more than 9,000 children, serving each one with empathy, compassion, and the highest quality of care.

We offer an integrated approach to healthcare, caring for the patient while also supporting the family. Children with complex medical conditions often need specific skills from caregivers. Proper training of parents to care for a child at home is one of our keys to success. We make sure parents feel confident and secure bringing their child home.
