The Sebastian Ferrero Foundation Receives a $5 Million Gift From Google Executive for Children's Hospital

Since the Foundation's inception in 2007, the UF College of Medicine has
incorporated new patient safety and quality elements into its curriculum and a
"Condition H" urgent help line has been established in Shands at UF to provide
patients and families with immediate access to a rapid response team. More
recently, the Foundation provided the leadership to coalesce a group of local
organizations to advocate for a dedicated pediatric ER at Shands. The new ER
will include separate pediatric waiting and treatment areas. In 2008, the UF
Center for Leadership and Service named the Foundation the "Most Outstanding Community Agency" and the Foundation also received the Institute of Safe Medication Practices' national "Cheers Award" for having set a superlative standard of excellence in the prevention of medication errors and adverse drug events.
