SUPPORT A SERVICE OR PROGRAM

Your gift can make a difference in a variety of areas within Shands HealthCare. Funds can support patient care, building and renovations as well as our many programs and services. Please use the links below to support specific program which enhance the experience of our patients and their families.

Arts in Medicine

The Arts in Medicine program is designed to transform the hospital experience for patients, visitors, caregivers and staff. Your support will help to provide supplies and experiences for our patients and families to participate in this healing program.

Child Life Program

By supporting the Child Life program, you are helping to brighten the days of patients by making the hospital less stressful and more positive. Our certified Child Life Specialists could not do this important work with your support.

ElderCare

ElderCare of Alachua County provides services that will build capacity, maximize independence, and enrich the quality of life for the seniors in Alachua County and North-Central Florida. Your contributions support important services such as meals, emergency response and adult day care.

Florida Recovery Center

Shands Vista Florida Recovery Center provides treatment, advocacy, education and research to individuals and family members who seek recovery from addiction. With comprehensive treatment and assessment programs for alcohol and drug abuse or dependence, the Florida Recovery Center helps patients reclaim their lives.

ShandsCair

Saving time in an emergency situation is often the difference between life and death. For some of the thousands of patients referred to Shands at the University of Florida each year, intensive care given at outside hospitals and en route by the ShandsCair flight team makes the difference. Your contribution will directly support this life-saving program.

Shands at UF Nursing Research and Professional Development

Funds will be used for nursing education including conferences and classes, professional recognition for nurses, maintenance of a Serenity Room and Relaxation Cart as well as grants for nursing research for Shands at UF nurses.
