Our Vision: A Premier Center Providing Vital ENT Care for Children
The Sounds of Hope campaign calls on partners like you to meet the First Coast’s growing need for care empowering children to breathe, hear, speak, eat and move.
Your gift to Sounds of Hope will build a new Center for Otolaryngology where children will receive world-class care critical to their long-term health and well-being.
Ear, nose and throat (ENT) disorders are among the most common conditions children face. Without early treatment, these conditions can lead to lifelong health complications and problems learning and developing social skills.
Families flock to us for pediatric ENT services unavailable anywhere else in Jacksonville. Many of our patients are from vulnerable communities with nowhere else to turn for care they need to thrive.
Since our ENT clinic opened more than 30 years ago, the region’s population has grown by 800,000. To serve the increasing number of children who need us, we must create updated, reimagined clinical spaces.
The future health of our community depends on it.
