FORT MYERS, Fla. - Floridant -- Generosity was on the menu at Jersey Mike's throughout March as Southwest Florida locations rallied their community to support Golisano Children's Hospital. Through the Month of Giving campaign, customers rounded up their purchases at the register, and on Jersey Mike's Annual Day of Giving, 16 local restaurants donated 100% of the day's sales. Together, these efforts raised $176,778 to benefit the building of the new Golisano Children's Hospital Surgery Center.

The Golisano Children's Hospital Surgery Center plans to relocate 80% of pediatric outpatient procedures from HealthPark Medical Center, lowering wait times for children and families in need. With over 5,200 pediatric surgeries performed at HealthPark Medical Center last year alone, the new facility will expand surgical capacity, featuring four operating rooms, two endoscopy rooms, and larger pre-op and recovery areas, all in a setting designed to keep young patients and their families at ease.
