“In the throes of sickness, many of our patients with COVID-19 wondered whether they would live,” said Peggy Kirk, RN, chief operating officer. “Now, with a second chance, they are relearning how to live, gaining back the function that was lost.

The $550 million, 1.2-million-square-foot Shirley Ryan 香港六合彩即时开奖 opened its doors in March 2017. The facility is the first-ever “translational” research hospital in which clinicians, scientists, innovators and technologists work together in the same space, 24/7, surrounding patients, discovering new approaches and applying (or “translating”) research real time. The central goal of the translational approach is to develop new research and insights to help patients gain more function, achieve better outcomes and enjoy greater ability and independence.
