For 55 years, UF Health Shands has enjoyed a strong relationship with one of its most ardent supporters: the UF Health Shands Auxiliary — a group of volunteers who support UF Health Shands through dedicated work and commitment to the mission of the hospital and health system.

Ed Jimenez, UF Health Shands CEO, accepts a gift in support of the new hospitals from (center) Kay Greathouse, UF Health Shands Auxiliary president, and Lindsay Krieg, UF Health Shands Volunteer Services director.

In this spirit, the Auxiliary recently committed $150,000 to support the new UF Health Heart & Vascular and Neuromedicine hospitals. The UF Health Neuromedicine Hospital will include the UF Health Shands Auxiliary Waiting Room and Child Play Area.
