Chris Evert Children's Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., will get a new name — The Salah Foundation Children's Hospital at Broward Health — and $52 million in renovations, according to an article on the Sun Sentinel website.

So as not to disrupt patient care, construction in the pediatric floors will be done in two phases.
