Charity Care & Social Responsibility

UF Health Jacksonville Hospital and UF Health Shands Hospital are two of the state’s nine statutory teaching hospitals. They are "safety-net" hospitals and are therefore relied upon to help serve residents in their primary service area who have little or no health insurance. UF Health is one of Florida’s largest Medicaid and charity care providers.

Support Groups & Classes

UF Health Jacksonville offers a number of programs for group support and patient education.

Volunteer

Last year, over 500 volunteers contributed more than 66,000 hours of service to UF Health Jacksonville. Our volunteers are teens and adults, men and women of all ages with diverse backgrounds and skills.
