Providing a wide range of healthcare services to our communities is of paramount importance, and is in large part the reason why we have expanded our service platforms to include numerous treatment centers, counselors and rehabilitation specialists throughout north central Florida. We're breaking new ground at the highest levels of healthcare with our four Centers of Excellence at Shands at UF and with the services of nationally and internationally recognized physicians. All have helped establish Shands at UF as the state's leading referral center. The UF physicians who practice at all Shands HealthCare and UF medical facilities are faculty members of the UF Health Science Center. To provide a continuum of care that is unsurpassed, quality healthcare cannot end when a patient is released from the hospital.
Home care can be the most important part of the recuperation process.
This is part of the reason why we established Shands HomeCare. Working with Shands HealthCare, the UF clinics and physicians provide a wide range of services from allergy management to women's health services at a variety of locations to patients in Gainesville and surrounding cities. Shands HealthCare developed Shands at Work to help keep local companies' employees healthy by conveniently providing health promotion services, such as reliable health information and educational and preventive health screenings, at the work site or other convenient locale. These services stress the value we place on reaching out to the community and ensuring that a Shands HealthCare experience is a positive one. In this section, you will find information about the Shands at Work program, Arts in Medicine, the UF Executive Health Program, the NASA program, and our in-flight emergency care service, ShandsCair.
