Your Gifts at Work > De George Pediatric Unit – February 2016

February 2016 marked the opening of the De George Pediatric Inpatient Unit at Jupiter Medical Center. This floor of the hospital features state-of-the-art inpatient and outpatient medical and therapeutic services for children and adolescents up to age 18. The De George Pediatric Unit is a continuation of a dynamic partnership between Jupiter Medical Center and Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, part of Miami Children’s Health System, and was made possible thanks to an extraordinary gift from the Lawrence J. and Florence A. De George Charitable Trust and the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation.

The De George Pediatric Unit features twelve inpatient rooms, two state-of-the-art pediatric surgery suites, pediatric therapeutic services, a children’s playroom, and a room for resting called the “Bear’s Den,” a name inspired by Jack Nicklaus, who is widely known as the “Golden Bear.” Patients benefit from the collaboration of local pediatricians, the Medical Center and Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, who worked together to implement the highest quality clinical protocols.
