Drowning can happen wherever there is water. And, in Florida, water is everywhere – canals, lakes, oceans, backyard pools, and even bathtubs.

Every three years not-for-profit hospitals are required to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) of the local populations they serve. Our goal in conducting the assessment was to better understand the health status, behaviors, and needs of children and adolescents in South Florida so that we as a community – patients, families, Nicklaus Children’s, and partner organizations – can optimally support their health and wellbeing. Information on both the CHNA and Implementation Plan can be found below.
