Brooks Rehabilitation, Nemours Children's Health, Wolfson Children's Hospital and UF Health Jacksonville Partner to Enhance Pediatric Care

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 21, 2024 — By combining resources and expertise, Brooks Rehabilitation, Nemours Children's Health, Jacksonville, Wolfson Children's Hospital and UF Health Jacksonville aim to provide more cohesive and accessible treatment options for pediatric patients. The new partnership provides for medical care, training and education to ensure children of all ages receive the best that each organization has to offer.

Ezra Ng has experienced more than others his age. After complaining of an intense headache, his parents rushed him to Wolfson Children's Hospital where he immediately went into lifesaving surgery for a brain bleed. Following surgery, his care team recommended Ezra continue his recovery at Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital - University Campus. Beginning at inpatient and eventually transitioning to the Brooks pediatric day program, Ezra made incredible progress.
