The Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine at Nemours Children’s Clinic, Jacksonville is based at Wolfson Children’s Hospital, a state-of-the-art facility and outpatient surgery center that is fully equipped and staffed to meet the unique needs of children. The department includes nursing staff who coordinate pre-procedure evaluations and pain management care.
Team members are strongly bound to an educational mission, as evidenced by a relationship with the Mayo Medical School in Rochester, Minnesota, the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, and the University of Florida, Gainesville.
