Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, UAE presidential advisor Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, and NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg give an assist to Johns Hopkins Children's Center patient Gavin Michel-Baird at Thursday's ribbon-cutting for Johns Hopkins Hospital's new 1.6M SF patient towers in East Baltimore.
The Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children's Center is named in honor of Bloomberg's late mother. It has 205 rooms and 10 surgical suites for pediatric patients, plus family sleeping accommodations, kitchen and laundry facilities, and a playroom with a basketball court and TV studio, not to mention the Monet-inspired facade.
