Pensacola

In Pensacola, the Nemours Children’s Clinic partners with Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital and offers primary care physicians and families a much-needed resource for children with complicated health issues. Through its 11 pediatric divisions, Nemours is the primary provider of pediatric specialty services in the more rural area of Northwest Florida and South Alabama.

Pensacola’s division of critical care led an effort to improve care and outcomes through the implementation of new software for the pediatric intensive care unit at Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital. The division began using a national database to compare patient care outcomes to national benchmarks. Additionally, a certified diabetic educator was hired this year to develop an education program and obtain American Diabetes Association accreditation for diabetic teaching.

Planning and strategic growth promise to dominate 2007 for Nemours Children’s Clinics in Florida. Clinical specialties are added at the new satellite locations in Destin and Lake Mary. Other key goals include improved access and service to patients, finalizing a location for the new hospital, resuming planning and design work on the hospital, growing selected specialties and building Nemours’ brand awareness and advocacy for the new hospital.
