South Florida's first and the nation's only bilingual Seacrest Studio provides a creative outlet for patients and their families to explore the world of content creation and media. The studio 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 complement the ongoing 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 provides a wide variety of programming to patients through a closed-circuit network. Patients 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 space, encased in glass, allows 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’s mission is to create engaging media studios that inspire imagination, encourage confidence, and enrich the hospital experience for patients and families while complementing the care environment. Guided by values of joy, creativity, collaboration, reliability, and innovation, RSF envisions children’s hospitals as places where creativity and connection help every child discover moments of possibility, comfort, and healing while uplifting the spirits of the clinical and administrative staff.
