WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Shands Hospital for Children is the state’s premier pediatric health center providing innovative and comprehensive care at the highest standards of quality and service in partnership with patient families, healthcare teams and communities. Community contributions help support pediatric research and the purchase of the latest technology to maintain this high standard of clinical care.

Shands Hospital for Children is committed to the best medical care when kids need it most and also provides a comfortable environment for families during hospital stays. Donations enhance or help provide many of the services, programs and amenities that make Shands Hospital for Children a leader in pediatric care. Donations also have funded a parking program, televisions and computers for patients and their families. We provide car seats for new mothers, through Safe Kids North Central Florida.
