MIAMI, March 28, 2018 (Newswire.com) - The Nicklaus Children’s Hospital was originally conceived in 1928 by a group of 11 entertainers, celebrities and show business professionals known as The Variety Club.

By 1950, the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital was established in South Florida. Today, central hospital facility in Miami houses nearly 300 beds and hosts close to 800 attending doctors and 475 children’s health subspecialists.
