Deliver the Dream Now Accepting Healthcare Partner Applications

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. –Deliver the Dream (DTD) recently announced the commencement of its healthcare partner application process for the 2011 calendar year.

DTD hosts monthly 4-day weekend retreats for up to 15 families. Every retreat focuses on a different illness or crisis, such as Cancer, HIV/AIDS, Sickle Cell or Cerebral Palsy. Families that are invited on a retreat are referred to DTD by a healthcare partner, such as a hospital or health organization. The retreats are provided at no cost to participants and enable those they help to regain strength, mend spirits, and just be families and kids again. 

Currently, DTD is accepting applications from healthcare institutions or organizations throughout the Southeast United States that help families who have a child or parent with a serious illness or crisis. This means, nurses, doctors, social workers or employees of another non profit can contact DTD to get more information on how they can offer the families that frequent their establishments a DTD retreat weekend. The application deadline is June 1, 2010. Click here to download the application.

DTD’s 2010 partners include the University of Florida Pediatric Hematology Oncology Clinic, Baptist Health, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, American Cancer Society, Mission Children’s Hospital, Hospice by the Sea, CARD Center and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
