MIAMI, March 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — During a private and heartfelt reception at Nicklaus Children\u2019s Hospital on Tuesday, prominent golfer Camilo Villegas and his wife Maria Ochoa presented staff on the hematology and oncology unit with Mia\u2019s Serenity Space for Staff \u2013 a quiet, dim and cozy room where healthcare staff can go to take a moment for themselves, unwind and reflect.<\/p>\n

\n

The unveiling of Mia\u2019s Serenity Space for Staff comes days ahead of The Honda Classic<\/a>, set to take place from March 15 \u2013 March 21. \u00a0Nicklaus Children\u2019s Hospital is one of the organizations supported by Honda Classic Cares, through the Nicklaus Children\u2019s Health Care Foundation.<\/p>\n

\n

The new Serenity Space for Staff at Nicklaus Children\u2019s Hospital is part of Camilo and Maria\u2019s vision through Mia\u2019s Miracles, a foundation established in honor of their late daughter Mia to provide small blessings with large impacts.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMia\u2019s Serenity Space for Staff is an exciting program for Mia\u2019s Miracles Foundation. This project has been an extremely healing and rewarding process for Camilo and I. We saw firsthand how difficult the job can be for these medical heroes. It takes so much, both physically and emotionally, to provide continuous care and support to families during challenging medical crises,\u201d said President and Founder of Mia\u2019s Miracles Foundation, Maria Ochoa. \u201cWe wanted to create a space for staff at Nicklaus Children\u2019s Hospital where they can recharge and continue to provide the best care, by replicating the positive and relaxing energy that moved throughout Mia\u2019s room.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAt Nicklaus Children\u2019s Hospital, we pride ourselves on providing family-centered care to all who walk through our doors, including our very own physicians, nurses, and all other system employees,\u201d said Matthew Love, President and CEO of Nicklaus Children\u2019s Health System. \u201cWe appreciate and admire Camilo, Maria and Mia\u2019s Miracles for this generous gesture and for thinking of our healthcare heroes who have been at the forefront of this global pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Mia\u2019s Miracles began its ongoing partnership with Nicklaus Children\u2019s Hospital last year as they helped reunite a patient from Honduras with his mother just in time for Christmas.<\/a> This year, they hope to identify several patients in need who will benefit from the partnership program, Mia\u2019s Blessings, which provides emergency funds to families at Nicklaus Children\u2019s Hospital so they do not have to choose between their child\u2019s medical care and other expenses. Support helps cover transportation, food and hygiene products, lodging, and as needed, funeral and memorial services.<\/p>\n
