Five Feet Apart and close to our heart

We sure do love Justin Baldoni!  Thank you Justin for shining such a huge spotlight on cystic fibrosis in your new, directorial debut “Five Feet Apart” starring Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson.  Our late founder Claire Wineland was a paid consultant on the film, working to depict the life of people with cystic fibrosis in this realistic, heart-felt film premiering on March 15, 2019.  Be sure to get your tickets and show your support!

Justin Baldoni, a star of the hit TV series “Jane the Virgin,” joins TODAY to talk about sitting in the director’s chair for his new teen romance movie, “Five Feet Apart.”

See the inspiration for Stella’s hospital room in the movie Five Feet Apart    

The inspiration behind Stella Grant’s beautifully decorated hospital room in the movie Five Feet Apart was Claire Wineland’s passion.  Claire was all about creating safe and comfortable spaces in hospitals, mainly her own hospital room.  Watch the video below she created years ago showing her “Hospital Room Makeover Start to Fin” which inspired a new and exciting program here at Claire’s Place Foundation.

Claire’s vision for hospital rooms led to Claire’s Place Playrooms

We are thrilled to be working with our friends at Zappos for Good, bringing Claire’s Place Playrooms to hospitals across the country in the coming years! Our flagship playroom is at Children’s Hospital of Nevada at UMC, a wonderful community hospital that was in need of a playroom remodel. Next stop, Memorial Care Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach!
