In 1991, Nemours in Northeast Florida opened its lobby doors and created a new way of caring for children. Today, we are still on the leading edge of providing innovative, family-centered care; however, our lobby – quite literally the front door for families entering our care – has remained largely unchanged in those 27 years. With Nemours Children’s Specialty Care, Jacksonville seeing about 500 patients a day, often with whole families in attendance, it means that more than 1,500 people a day come through a lobby that was not designed for the comfort and caring of that volume.
Staying true to a family-centered care approach, plans are underway to construct a lobby that will include:
- New main and parking garage entrances
- New welcome and information areas
- New façade and seating areas
- New 150-seat café, with indoor and terrace dining
- Renovated pharmacy and retail space
- New elevator area and entrance
Your gift to the lobby transformation will help create a lasting legacy, enabling our facility to provide the highest level of patient care and comfort into the future. Naming opportunities are available.
