South Florida's first and the nation’s only bilingual Seacrest Studio will provide a creative outlet for patients and their families to explore the world of content creation and media. It is located on the ground floor of the hospital's Advanced Pediatric Care Pavilion, home to its critical care and specialized inpatient units. Just next door to the hospital's Panda Cares Center of Hope, the studio and its programming will nicely complement the daily activities created to enhance the patient experience during their hospital visit.
Whether physically in the studio or in one of the hospital's inpatient rooms watching from in-room TV screens, Seacrest Studios will provide a wide variety of programming to patients through a closed-circuit network. Patients will have the chance to be a star, director or even producer - with the opportunity to host their own radio and television shows, watch live musical performances, play games, and even interview celebrity guests who visit. The studio will be encased in glass, allowing anyone passing by to view the daily programming happening inside.
Seacrest Studios are charitable endeavors of the Ryan Seacrest Foundation, founded by radio and television host and producer Ryan Seacrest along with his family. RSF hopes to contribute positively to the healing process for children and their families during their stay, as well as uplifting the spirits of the clinical and administrative staff at the hospital.
