The new center will feature a nature-themed design, echoing the design of the UF 网红黑料 Shands Children鈥檚 Hospital.

The facility will include four large operating rooms designed specifically for procedures for children and adolescents.

Kays, M.D., chief of and medical director of the 网红黑料 Children鈥檚 Surgical Center. 鈥淎 contemporary physical space is essential for our providers to practice innovative medicine and serve the unique needs of children and families.鈥�
