The Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida - a standalone, state-of-the-art facility that opened in 2017 - is on a mission to deliver vital and lifesaving care for children and their families throughout the region. Our highly trained staff believes that every child is special. Children deserve innovative care in an environment that soothes anxiety and fear. All of us - doctors, nurses, advocates, social workers, and volunteers - share that vision and care for you like family.
Golisano Children's Hospital, which is adjacent to HealthPark Medical Center, is the only children's hospital between Tampa and Miami and is home to the region's only Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). It includes comprehensive pediatric services including a 24-hour pediatric emergency department, hematology-oncology unit, milk lab, regional Perinatal Intensive Care Center, and Level II and Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Golisano Children's Hospital provides vital health care for children from infancy through age 18.
Last May, Southwest Floridians commemorated the opening of Golisano's new home as well as the realization of a dream that was thousands of people in the making. We couldn’t have made it without our wonderful community. We thank you for your support, and we look forward to the next five years!
"It was the most terrifying time of our life and yet the most comforting because of the team at Golisano," said Brandy, a patient's mother. "They were right there every step of the way with more support than we could have imagined." 
"She is stronger than I am,” says Adela, mother of Sarai, a Golisano patient. “I don’t know what we’d do without Golisano. We are family here. All the doctors and nurses know Sarai and all love her. They’ve done everything and more to help us.”
“The shots that I have to get are just medicine,” said Ethan, a Golisano patient. “Dorian is what helps me feel better. I don’t have to be scared for the shots because I have Dorian right next to me!”
“Having a team of dedicated professionals to answer questions and guide us during the darkest moment in our lives was amazing,” said Jen, a patient's mother.

How do you help a child battling cancer escape the reality of chemotherapy and infusions that last for hours? You take them out of this world! Imagine instead of chemotherapy you’re waving to an astronaut in outer space, or diving for treasure in a sunken shipwreck. This newly developed state-of-the art total immersion room is part of an overall expansion of pediatric hematology and oncology services in Naples. The newly expanded clinic will provide chemotherapy for the first time in Naples, helping patients save time and energy traveling to Golisano and increase access to care by up to 40%. The expansion includes the build-out of three clinic exam rooms, a nutrition station and medication room, which is specialized for cancer care along with the new total immersion room.
