Dr. Nicholas “Nick” Rauber has worked as a dentist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for over a decade. The founder of Swollfest, Nick Rauber, DDS, supports children’s charities such as Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital (OLOLCH). On a mission to provide the best dedicated pediatric care for the children of Louisiana, OLOLCH is building a freestanding hospital dedicated to children. In November of 2017, the hospital’s management and staff celebrated the completion of the freestanding hospital’s steel structure. The milestone was commemorated with the hoisting and placement of special beams that bore the individual signatures of stakeholders including donors and team members. The beams were also signed virtually online by thousands of others who supported the construction. Overall, 2,500 tons of steel were used in the construction, together with 600 tons of rebar, 14,000 cubic yards of concrete, 1,000 support piles, and 284 miles of electrical wire. The project encompasses over 450,000 square feet, with 80 percent dedicated as hospital space and about 20 percent as office space. Speaking at the event, OLOLCH chief medical officer Shaun Kemmerly praised the efforts of all people involved in the construction, hailing the completion of the steel structure as a show of their dedication to the health of Louisiana’s children. Finishing work is ongoing.
