Naples Comprehensive Health - NCH and Nicklaus Children's Hospital are proud sponsors of Healthcare Network’s 2nd Annual Paddle Battle for Kids’ Health! 🎾💙

We are proud to support an event that brings our community together around something we all care deeply about: ensuring children and families across Collier County have access to the healthcare they need, regardless of income, insurance status, or background.

Today is also especially meaningful as we proudly feature the Van Domelen Institute for Women & Children for the first time at a community event.

Through the Van Domelen Institute for Women & Children and our collaboration with Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, NCH is committed to expanding access to high-quality pediatric care and bringing more specialized services closer to home for children and families throughout our community.

Wishing Healthcare Network and all of today’s participants an amazing Paddle Battle for Kids’ Health!

Early Exclusive: In Southwest Florida, mothers can still be separated from their babies when higher-level NICU care is needed. Women navigate fragmented systems for routine care and travel to other cities or states for specialists.

The Artemis Circle launches this month, aiming to change that—before the region’s growth makes those gaps even harder to close.

It begins with 12 local leaders, but the ambition extends far beyond them. These women are working to bring voices and support from across the community into shaping Naples Comprehensive Health - NCH’s $350 million Van Domelen Institute & Pavilion for Women & Children.
