Located in the lobby of the hospital’s Advanced Pediatric Care Pavillion, Seacrest Studios in Miami, the first bilingual studio in the network, will serve as a hub of fun, learning and self-expression for patients of all ages. Through interactive programming, music, games, and interviews with special guests, the studio aims to bring a sense of normalcy and joy to children undergoing medical care.

“It is an honor to welcome South Florida and Nicklaus Children’s to the Seacrest Studios family as our 14^th location nationwide,” said Ryan Seacrest, Founder and Chairman, Ryan Seacrest Foundation. “With this new bilingual studio, we are proud to make our programming accessible and enjoyable to even more children and their families. We are energized by this partnership with Nicklaus Children’s and can’t wait to support them as they introduce patients and their families to the wonders of media.”

Seacrest Studios at Nicklaus Children’s marks the 14^th location nationwide. It is the only studio that will curate content in Spanish to offer other hospitals in the Seacrest Studio network, continuing Ryan Seacrest Foundation’s mission to build broadcast media centers within pediatric hospitals across the country.

Matthew A. Love, president and CEO of Nicklaus Children’s Health System, shared his enthusiasm for the new partnership. “We are honored to collaborate with the Ryan Seacrest Foundation to launch the very first bilingual Seacrest Studios here at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital,” said Love. “Our two organizations share similar missions of inspiring hope, promoting health, and delivering joy to children and families when they need it most. Together, we’re offering children an outlet that provides them with a space to create joy and use their imagination while reminding them that even through the toughest times, their voices matter, their stories are worth sharing, and their futures are bright.”

During the opening day celebration, patients participated in the first-ever Seacrest Studios broadcast from Nicklaus Children’s, joining Ryan Seacrest and celebrity guests on-air for inspiring conversations. Families, hospital staff, and volunteers gathered to watch the inaugural broadcast, marking a day filled with laughter, connection, and community.

The addition of Seacrest Studios reinforces Nicklaus Children’s commitment to providing holistic, family-centered care that nurtures both the physical and emotional well-being of its patients. In addition, Seacrest Studios at Nicklaus Children’s will be the first bilingual studio in the network to offer content in Spanish for its partners.
