Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital to convert St. Pete apartments into patient housing

Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital to convert St. Pete apartments into patient housing

Thousands of families across the nation travel to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg seeking specialized pediatric medical care from physicians who perform complex surgeries and procedures for critically ill patients suffering from cancer, heart conditions, and other complications.

As a comprehensive pediatric and subspecialty institute, the health system also attracts highly immunocompromised patients who require close monitoring even after discharge.

Thanks to a new $1 million donation from the nonprofit Hogs for the Cause, Johns Hopkins will convert the on-campus Rada Apartments at 460 8th Avenue South—which currently house visiting physicians—into four vibrant housing units for patients requiring extended hospital care and their families.

Hogs for the Cause began as a pig roast among friends in 2009, aiming to raise money for a young boy with pediatric brain cancer.
