Golisano Children's Health Center

Golisano Children’s Health Center in located at the corner of Pine Ridge Rd. And Livingston Rd. in Naples. “We have more than 18 specialties that rotate through. Their home base is in Fort Myers and instead of having the patients have to travel to Fort Myers, we host them there at the Naples Clinic,” said Liz Loughren, Pediatric Specialties Ambulatory Nurse Manager.

That's a big deal for parents of patients like Carol Castillo. “It's 10 minutes from her school, so it means she is missing a lot less school time. It meant, you know, me and my husband missing a lot less work time, and just the security of it, it's indescribable.”

In addition to the rotating specialists, the clinic offers pediatric rehab, labs, and Oncology Hematology services. “We offer that five days a week because it's important that these children are able to get either their blood transfusions or their chemotherapy. Sometimes it's daily. So this way, they don't miss treatment,” said Loughren.

There’s also a kid’s specific urgent care open every day accepting walk ins. “The physicians, the APRNs, and the nurses are all specialized, trained in caring for the pediatric population. And they have the knowledge that they need to serve those patients well,” said Loughren.

“For us, everything is right here in one spot. It's fantastic,” said Castillo, who lives in Naples. Bringing the core functions of Golisano to the heart of Naples. You can learn more by searching for Golisano Children’s Health Center on leehealth.org.
