Our happy and healthy 3-year old son Sebastian died in October 2007 because of a series of preventable medical errors including a medication overdose. We believe future tragedies can best be averted by the specialized treatment of children in a children’s hospital. That is why we have decided to devote our lives now to building a children’s hospital in Gainesville, Florida. We formed the Sebastian Ferrero Foundation to advocate and fundraise for a full-service, state-of-the-art children’s hospital in Gainesville, Florida and to promote excellence in patient safety.  Community leaders, parents and more than 150 local pediatricians and pediatric specialists have come together with many others from Shands HealthCare and the University of Florida College of Medicine to support this mission.

We hope you will too.
