Imagine having a child who suffers from serious respiratory problems or is diagnosed with a chronic condition requiring hospitalization – and having nowhere to go after discharge from the hospital. These are just a few of the many health challenges the nation’s first Children and Families Recuperative Care Center is able to address. Recuperative care gives people who are unhoused a safe place to stay during recovery under the care of medical staff. This child-focused model, pioneered by Illumination Foundation through funding from CalOptima Health, is bringing peace of mind to families experiencing homelessness.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony brought together local and national leaders to celebrate the transformative program and share insight into the growing need across the nation. The Reveille team was thrilled to share the news, with reporters from the Orange County Business Journal, Orange County Register, TimesOC and Univision in attendance to tour the unique facility and connect industry leaders.
