Who We Are

Adopt A Room was formed in September of 2004 by a group of professionals with expertise and vision in business, medicine, government, education, fundraising, architecture, construction, and more. The purpose was to create a win-win-win situation for hospitals, sponsors, and most importantly, sick children.

Why?

Though we can't control the illnesses, we can control the environment - specifically hospital room environments! The children and their families have enough uncontrollable pain and hardship to deal with as it relates to the diagnosis. The room however, is one of those things we can CONTROL and make better !

Our Story

We knew first hand what seriously ill children and their families experience in the hospital and we wanted to make a change. We saw the need for quality medical care in comfortable and safe spaces.
Our goal at Adopt A Room is to do more than add "window dressing" to hospital rooms. We create fantastic, family-friendly rooms that ease childrens' fears and support normal interaction with parents and friends. We help kids feel like kids deserve to feel - special.

Our Leaders

Our leaders have spent countless hours designing, fundraising, working with contractors and vendors to assist with the realization of so many brave heros who contributed to the realization of a dream.

Profesional Advisors

We were very fortunate to have some of the best advisors in the country to assist with the fine details of building a world class facility to not only be a home a way from home for our childnre but to also assist the medical staff in reducing hospital stays by treating the attitude of the patient as well as the illness.
