- Business
A Rosie Place for Children invites guests to discuss children who are medically fragile, the families who care for them, and how the community can support and embrace them. We want to provide a voice for these children and families.
A Rosie Place for Children is the first (and only) specialty hospital in the state of Indiana exclusively for children who are medically fragile. Although we are a highly equipped hospital, capable of caring for the most complex pediatric conditions, respite is delivered in a beautiful home on 5 acres. Children enjoy activities designed specifically around their abilities and needs. Love.Care.Fun. It all happens at A Rosie Place for Children.
A Rosie Place for Children depends on the generosity of the community. We depend on dedicated individuals, businesses, and various entities to help us serve the community by providing a level of excellence our families and children, who are medically fragile, deserve. Click here to make a donation.
WHAT IS MEDICALLY FRAGILE?
A child who is medically fragile requires daily care by specially trained caregivers (above and beyond typical parenting). Children who are medically fragile require the use of therapies and/or specialized high tech medical equipment (such as G-Tubes, ventilators, apnea monitors, suction machines) to sustain or enhance their lives.
Conditions that may constitute medically fragile include (but are not limited to): premature birth, brain injury, uncontrolled seizure disorder, cancer, spina bifida, complications from surgeries, chronic lung or heart disease, swallowing disorders or specialized feeding issues, neuromuscular disease, or other chronic health conditions such as diabetes and asthma that require specialized care that cannot be provided by an untrained care giver.
