Thanks to the vision and energy of various doctors, along with a committed group of volunteers, the Foundation has become an integral part of the Hospital community. Funds raised by the Foundation are used to purchase equipment that enhances the high-quality care provided by the Hospital, optimize the infrastructure to meet the demands of a modern facility, and improve the patient experience and access to services for patients and caregivers. The Foundation also intervenes in initiatives that contribute to better service for the children in the Hospital. With the support of corporations, private foundations, and concerned citizens, the Fundación Hospital Pediátrico plays a crucial role in improving the health of children in Puerto Rico. Their mission is to attract resources to strengthen the quality of life for the Hospital community, including patients, caregivers, resident doctors, physicians, and Hospital support staff. To further their mission, the Foundation has several ongoing projects and programs planned for 2021-2022. These include the design, equipment, and ambiance enhancement of the Renal Dialysis Unit, the only one of its kind in Puerto Rico.
