15. The Children’s Eating Disorders program.
Evidence based design of hospital including:
having family areas, natural light, a less clinical
feel making the facility homey.
Resources for the parents, a theater, kitchen,
and preventive classes.
Outreach programs. 186 million funds to
families that need help. Free and low-cost
options to families in need.
Donated to 175 local organizations.
Linked to local organizations.

16. 400+ staff members were laid off due to the
construction costs of the hospital.
Medicaid funding to the hospital has been
cut off. 50% of kids who go there are on
Medicaid. As a result kids may not get their
needs met.
The hospital is in debt and not solvent, yet
Randall’s is confident they’ll be okay.
We wonder how they will be financially
solvent in the next 20 yrs.

in the initiative.
Accordant child and
adolescent goals include:
Screening, intervention, child
