The Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, Lauren B. Thompson
September, 2010
I am proud to support the work of the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, which is located in Orlando, Florida. Listed as one of the nation’s Top 30 pediatric hospitals according to U.S. News & World Report, it is the sole hospital in Central Florida equipped with an emergency and trauma department for pediatric patients. The Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children was founded due to the efforts of a dedicated group of pediatricians who saw a growing need for specialized services for women and children. In early 1980, they created the Children’s Medical Foundation of Greater Orlando, which became the Children’s Hospital Foundation shortly thereafter. Combining efforts with the Orlando Regional Medical Center, the group began planning a specialized hospital, recruiting Arnold Palmer for financial and fundraising assistance. Today, the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children is physically connected to the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies, forming the Arnold Palmer Medical Center. The hospital is best known for its Center for Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders, which treats a large number of patients in coordination with the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Orlando. Taking a multidisciplinary approach to cancer, the hospital employs physicians, oncologists, nutritionists, physical therapists, and social workers. The hospital also features the Playworks playground, which provides children with a large play area, complete with pirate ship and a meditation garden was created for parents. In recent years, the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children has partnered with the Miami Children’s Hospital to create a Congenital Heart Institute, a top provider of pediatric cardiovascular services.

Activities of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Central Florida, Lauren B. Thompson
June, 2011
A firm supporter of ethical and humane treatment of animals, Lauren Thompson contributes to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) of Central Florida. Originally known as the Orlando Humane Society/SPCA of Central Florida, the organization changed its name in 2002 to reflect the participation of local humane societies throughout Central Florida. One of the top animal welfare agencies in the region, the SPCA of Central Florida maintains two spay/neuter clinics and two shelters in Orlando and Sanford. The SPCA of Central Florida also sponsors a number of programs to reduce animal cruelty and protect the welfare of animals in the area. Here is a brief overview of the some of the initiatives undertaken by the SPCA of Central Florida.
Pet admissions – Owners who can no longer care for their pets can surrender them to the SPCA of Central Florida. This pet admissions program has become a widely used option for people unable or unwilling to take care of their pets, with more than 14,000 animals entering the organization’s two shelters every year. Shelters operated by the SPCA of Central Florida are open-door facilities, meaning they will never turn away an animal in need regardless of age, breed, health, size, or behavior. Once surrendered pets enter the shelter, they remain until a caring individual or family adopts them.
Affordable veterinary care – By way of encouraging people to attend to the health of their pets, the SPCA of Central Florida operates low-cost veterinary care centers in Orlando and Sanford that hold no geographical limitations. Although the essential mission of the clinics is to spay and neuter pets to control population, the centers also provide essential services such as regular checkups, vaccinations, tests, and injury treatment.
Emergency pet sheltering for families in crisis – Project F.A.I.T.H., short for Fostering Animals in Temporary Homes, is a special initiative designed to provide shelter for pets of families affected by crises such as hospitalization, disaster, and domestic violence. After registering with Project F.A.I.T.H., owners can receive regular updates on the status of their pet. Upon submission to the program, pets receive access to housing in a secure location for up to 30 days.
