A Home During Hospital Stays
From ChildrensHospitals.org
Elijah’s treatment days used to begin long before sunrise.
He lives more than 200 miles from FMOL Health | Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and manages multiple complex medical conditions. Every other month, he and his family would make the trip to be seen by at least five different pediatric specialists and spend hours, if not days, at clinics.
Now, instead of predawn drives and hours on the road, Elijah wakes up just minutes from the hospital. The Hogs for the Cause (“Hogs House”) family support home provides free, on-campus lodging for families traveling to Baton Rouge for their child’s medical care.
