La Rabida: the next step in a child’s care Providers across metro Chicago and northwest Indiana refer pediatric inpatients to La Rabida, typically following a NICU or PICU stay or emergency room treatment. Providing the next step in a child’s care, La Rabida admits children who require more services before they can thrive safely at home. We work closely with referring physicians and discharge planners to ensure smooth transfers of children to La Rabida. We work collaboratively with providers through the hand-off back to the child’s physician(s). HOW TO MAKE AN INPATIENT REFERRAL
We are happy to discuss an inpatient referral anytime, day or night. Simply call 312.498.4408 and speak to the on-duty admissions coordinator. The coordinator, our first responder to requests for transferring patients to La Rabida, is the liaison between La Rabida and the referring provider from the initial call through admission. Referrers are invited to visit La Rabida and observe how we work. Call the admissions coordinator to arrange a tour and introductions to medical staff. HOW TO MAKE AN OUTPATIENT REFERRAL
Referrals to La Rabida’s outpatient services are also welcome. The La Rabida Access Center coordinates outpatient referrals. Call 773.753.8627.
