Since 2011, A Rosie Place for Children has served as a vital support system for medically fragile children and their families. Medically fragile children typically require round-the-clock medical interventions (ventilators, feeding tubes, respiratory treatments, etc) for everyday living. A Rosie Place offers their caregivers periods of relief by providing fun “sleepovers” for the kids, with other children, in a skilled healthcare setting. It is the only licensed specialty hospital of its kind to offer these services in the state of Indiana
HeARTworks Studio represents a new, fully-accessible space located in a natural setting on the south end of their property. Named after the beloved HeARTworks program, the Studio was specifically designed for medically fragile children and HeARTworks staff to co-create and display one-of-a-kind pieces of art. A space that can serve as a reminder that these children, with all of their limitations, add value to our lives.
A Rosie Place submitted a grant application requesting that the Foundation join with other organizations to ensure the completion of the project. Our Foundation board, a previous supporter, welcomed the opportunity to ensure this unique healthcare project came to fruition.
