Disney Children's Hospital announced

Officials announce details about Disney hospital

Forbes
Officials at Florida Hospital in Orlando say a planned Disney-themed children's hospital will serve as a model for pediatric hospitals everywhere.

Disney Children's Hospital at Florida Hospital - the official name announced at a news conference Wednesday - will include sophisticated, interactive technology for patients, as well as pediatric physicians who specialize in advanced, minimally invasive surgery. Walt Disney Co. has supported children's hospitals in the past, but this is the first to bear the company's name.

Disney Children's Hospital administrator Marla Silliman says the facility will be on the forefront of technology and a model for patient experience. The new hospital is expected to be open by 2010.

Wow. An entertainment empire is now going into medical. I think this is nice on Disney's part to help suport the Children's Hospitals and hope this does go well. They do a big part in the aid of the kids and their care.

I work at a great hospital but it sounds like it's time for me to be a Cast Member for Disney Hospital...

That sounds very exciting! I wonder how they will be funded? My brother-in-law had open heart surgery as a 2 month old and at ten at Shiners in Los Angeles. A great charitable institution.

Ex-Surgeon General takes a lead position at Disney Children's Hospital

Ex-Surgeon General calls Disney kids' hospital home

Orlando Sentinel
As a newly minted vice president of Disney's Children's Hospital at Florida Hospital, Dr. Antonia Coello Novello has an ambitious agenda. She wants to create a pain center that combines conventional and alternative medicine, fund a program that would send doctors to local schools and open an umbilical-cord blood bank. Novello knows she's set the bar high, but achieving is almost second nature to her.

It was Novello, the daughter of a rural schoolteacher in Puerto Rico, who in 1990 shattered the proverbial glass ceiling to become the nation's first Hispanic and first female U.S. Surgeon General. After a successful career that has taken her around the world, Novello says she's ecstatic to call Orlando home.
