Mission and programs · 2025

• Family Center:The Patient and Family Support Center provides comprehensive, free support to patients' families during their children's hospitalization at University Pediatric Hospital. The center addresses the critical needs of families facing severe economic challenges-more than 50% of patients served come from families struggling to meet basic needs during hospitalization. According to Puerto Rico's Office of Management and Budget, 55% of children in Puerto Rico live in poverty. The center eliminates barriers that prevent families from thriving during their children's medical treatment, offering a welcoming refuge and constant source of support during the most difficult times. Program Activities includes distribution of essential supplies including hygiene products, clothing, diapers, and medical supplies, food vouchers for caregivers during extended hospital stays, entertainment resources: iPads, tablets, Nintendo Switch consoles, books, and games, three equipped playrooms with toys, electronic games, and activities, birthday celebrations and special holiday events for patients, communication support services, coordination with external organizations for additional services and resources and in-kind donation collection and distribution center. Population Served: Pediatric patients and their families/caregivers at Hospital Pediátrico Universitario, with priority given to long-term patients and families from rural areas outside the metro region.
