Serie C x CharityStars

The Meyer Children’s Hospital Foundation was established on July 14, 2000, as the exclusive support body for the communication, marketing, and fundraising activities of the Meyer Hospital in Florence — a unique institution dedicated to the care and well-being of children and the promotion of health.

The Meyer University Hospital (IRCCS – Scientific Institute for Research, Hospitalization and Healthcare) represents a center of excellence in healthcare, and the Foundation supports it through initiatives aimed at further enhancing its technical and scientific profile, as well as improving hospitality services for children and their families.

The Foundation contributed to the creation of the “New Meyer” in 2007 and is currently supporting the hospital by funding Meyer+ (the hospital’s expansion project), family accommodation services, scientific research, healthcare excellence projects, and the technological advancement of medical equipment — as well as promoting play as a complementary element to therapy and care.

Always on the side of children.
This is the philosophy that guides us every day.

Numerous hospitality projects dedicated to children and their families represent an added value that complements the care pathway. All of this allows young patients to play in a comfortable environment rich in colors and stimuli, to take part in educational activities in the playroom, to enjoy music with their parents, and to share time with hospital clowns and the four-legged friends involved in pet therapy.
