Children and teens often have different medical needs than adults do. That’s why Nemours Children’s collaborates with HCA Florida West Hospital to offer specialized pediatric expertise to children and families in Pensacola.

HAC Florida West Hospital is one of the HCA North Florida hospitals, an HCA affiliate. Combining West Florida Healthcare’s own highly trained staff with our advanced pediatric care demonstrates our shared belief that kids do better when we work together.
