In 1998, Shands AGH became the first hospital in Florida to use the Planetree model of care, a healing philosophy that embraces mind, body and spirit. This approach makes us distinctive among area facilities. We center our best efforts on the whole person, acknowledging each other’s uniqueness. That’s also why our workplace is so special. Because we see you for everything you are.

Our 367-bed facility is also Gainesville’s most-established community hospital and part of Shands HealthCare, one of the most prominent and well-respected health systems in the entire Southeast. While we have certainly evolved since our founding in 1928, we maintain our mission of service to the community with a complete offering of full-service acute care.
