Children’s hospital adds neurosurgery program in major partnership

FORT MYERS — Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida, in a collaboration with Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, has announced a new pediatric neurosurgery program.

The program, announced Dec. 21, will allow children who have neurological conditions that require surgery to receive that high level of care at Golisano Children’s Hospital instead of traveling outside of the area to larger cities, like Miami or St. Petersburg. The program and partnership was two years in the making, according to a statement.
