We provide specialized care in various state-of-the-art settings, including a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with private family-centered rooms, an Advanced Center for Pediatric Surgery handling nearly 4,000 cases each year, and one of the few pediatric oncology programs in the area.
We’re also Central Florida’s only pediatric provider for bone marrow transplant, kidney transplant, Gamma Knife services, trilogy radiation and Level I V epilepsy care. But perhaps most exciting of all, is that this is the first—and only—hospital to bear the Disney name.
