WHAT:	After receiving approval from the state to build a top-tier pediatric hospital on Friday, June 15th, Nemours Children's Clinic Orlando will pledge to continue to expand its Brevard County services as needed at an open house community ceremony. The new clinic furthers Nemours' commitment to the Central Florida community.
WHEN:	Thursday, June 21st. 6:00 - 8:00 PM
WHERE:	Nemours Children's Clinic - Viera 7000 Spyglass Court, Suite 120 Viera, FL 32940
WHY:	Nemours moved out of its original Melbourne location and into a larger facility in Viera to better accommodate a growing need for subspecialty pediatric services in Brevard County. The increased room will give physicians the ability to see more patients in an improved environment. This location also provides better access to major thoroughfares in the region.
INFO:	The Viera clinic will be open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Thursday, and will continue to provide the same specialties of Nephrology, Urology, Gastroenterology and Pulmonology. As part of the pledged Brevard expansion, Nemours will add Endocrinology to the list of services offered at the clinic by late summer/early fall.
