MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. ā€“ A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Wednesday at Nicklaus Childrenā€™s Hospital as the neurology unit lobby was renamed in honor of a 23-year-old man who died after being diagnosed with Wolf-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. ā€œWe are grateful for the generous gift from the Mobassaleh family and for their determination in honoring Fouadā€™s memory,ā€ said Perry Ann Reed, President of Nicklaus Childrenā€™s Hospital and Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Nicklaus Childrenā€™s Health System. ā€œAs champions for children, we stand beside them in the fight to prevent sudden cardiac death in other children.ā€The new Nicklaus Childrenā€™s Hospital Mobassaleh Neurology Unit Lobby is located in the Advanced Pediatric Care Pavilion of the hospital. The Mobassaleh family, which owns Elegant Beauty Supplies Supercenters, has been committed to researching the rare illness and investing countless hours to fundraising through their company to raise money for the Nicklaus Childrenā€™s Hospital Heart Program. ā€œNicklaus Childrenā€™s Hospital is profoundly grateful for the Mobassaleh familyā€™s dedication, through their business and their own philanthropic support, to help ensure the health and well-being of the children in our community,ā€ said Michelle Boggs, President of Nicklaus Childrenā€™s Hospital Foundation.
