Here in Cincinnati we have quite a few out of town guests who bring their children for procedures that Cincinnati specializes in. Recently, there was a young child who stayed at Hotel Celare waiting on a heart transplant. Obviously, there's nothing we can do to assist, but we came up with an idea to make their stay memorable. At the Cincinnati Zoo, Fiona the hippo was born pre-mature and was not expected to live, but she made a full recovery and has become a symbol of hope!

Hotel Celare will give children staying with us, that are here for specialized treatment, a Fiona plush to give hope to those who need it and show that we are not just a building with beds but a part of the community who is invested in the well being of others.
