La Rabida Children’s Hospital Voted Nation’s Most Beautiful Hospital in Soliant Health Contest
Representing Chicago in a nationwide contest, La Rabida Children’s Hospital has been named Soliant Health’s Most Beautiful Hospital. With more than 67,000 votes, La Rabida is proud to have earned this special recognition.
For 130 years, La Rabida Children’s Hospital has delivered best-in-class care to children and families in the Chicagoland area and beyond, regardless of a family’s financial circumstances. In addition to the hospital’s beautiful campus on the shore of Lake Michigan, La Rabida’s true beauty is reflected in the compassion of the care team, the supportive relationships with patient families, and the resilience and spirit of the young patients.
“This recognition would not have been possible without the incredible support of our patients, families, community members, and supporters,” said Dr. Rolla T. Sweis, President & CEO of La Rabida. “Every vote represents someone who believes in our mission, values the compassionate care we provide, and understands what makes La Rabida such a special place. We are deeply grateful for the trust and confidence our community places in us every day.”
As a previous nominee, La Rabida climbed the ranks each year. In 2025, La Rabida ranked #4 in the country, up from #17 in 2024.
Soliant Health’s annual program looks beyond architecture alone to celebrate the many qualities that can make a hospital beautiful inside and out, from natural light, artwork, thoughtful design, and peaceful surroundings to the healthcare professionals and staff who shape the patient experience every day.
“Every hospital on this year’s list shows that a healing environment is shaped by both the space itself and the people who bring it to life,” said Emily Miller, President of Healthcare at Soliant. “These hospitals have created places where patients and families can feel welcomed, supported, and cared for, and the response from their communities is a powerful reflection of the trust and connection they have built."
