Boston Children’s Hospital has received a $100 million donation from Rob and Karen Hale — the largest in the hospital’s history — to support a new $650 million pediatric psychiatric hospital.
The gift will fund the creation of an integrated care model and a state-of-the-art facility on the Brighton campus of Franciscan Children’s, also in Boston, which joined the Boston Children’s health system in 2023, according to a Dec. 10 news release.
Boston Children’s said the funding will expand inpatient and outpatient behavioral health and rehabilitation services, support research, train clinicians, strengthen community partnerships and integrate mental health services into pediatric medicine.
Stacy Drury, MD, PhD, psychiatrist in chief, will lead a national collaborative across 23 children’s hospitals to advance mental healthcare alongside a multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
