Levine Children's Hospital

Lauren attends one of the greatest hospitals around here for children with special needs, Levine Children's Hospital. Levine's is located in Charlotte, North Carolina. This hospital is dedicated to caring for children from birth through young adulthood. Levine Children's Hospital leads the region in offering more than 30 specialized pediatric services. Below, there is a picture of the hospital that opened in October 2007 and currently has 234 beds for children. Lauren was able to meet professionals while staying in the hospital. To the right of this blog, is a picture of her with Steve Smith at Levine Children's Hospital. This can be very inspiring for the children as they are coping with cancer. 


Levine Children's Hospital is one of the most helpful places for a child with cancer, but it is not limited to just cancer either. This hospital is very friendly and looks at the bright side of every situation. They have special visitors that come by and visit the children. For instance, Cam Newton and Steve Smith have been there a few times to surprise the children. They do a terrific job at making the children feel at home. Levine Children's Hospital has different amenities too. They have a playroom, teen activity room, family kitchen area, and a interdenominational chapel that the children and family can participate in. Anyone can get involved with this hospital and donate or even email a child.

Levine Children's Hospital has many doctors and nurses that are currently doing whatever they can do to help Lauren overcome her leukemia. Below is a special video that Kristie Turner posted from Levine Children's Hospital that includes Lauren in it. This video in which the Levine Children's Hospital nurses are doing the Harlem Shake with Lauren Turner to make her hospital experience one to remember.
