FONDAZIONE SANTA LUCIA IRCCS – Rome
The Forest of Wonders for Neurorehabilitation at the Santa Lucia IRCCS Children’s Center.
Every year about 500 families begin complex neurorehabilitation pathways at the Santa Lucia IRCCS in Rome, dedicated to children with severe pathologies such as infantile cerebral palsy, rare genetic diseases, neuromuscular diseases and other neurological impairments. The Children’s Neurorehabilitation Center, in many cases attended on a daily basis, thus becomes one of the centers around which the lives of families are organized from the first months of children’s lives, for which the surrounding environments also play a crucial role.
That’s what inspired Silvio Irilli, founder of Painted Hospitals, in carrying out the artistic restoration of the Center’s waiting room now transformed into a “Forest of Wonders,” thanks to donations from companies Swan, Dexco, Sial, Trade Art, Bizzaglia, Sanitas, Consis and Sogesi, brought together through the valuable work of Leopoldo Tiberi.
An intervention that will help health care providers stimulate children’s imaginations and make the little ones “stay in the treatment spaces and their families” stay in the waiting area as comfortable and welcoming a time of care as possible.
