The purpose of Solace is to serve populations within UF Health Shands Hospital that do not receive much attention from those outside of the hospital staff. Solace members will provide the same level of care and companionship to underserved populations of the hospital that many patients within other units currently receive. Our mission statement is as follows: “We believe in the uplifting power of a smile. We are committed to bringing joy and laughter through companionship and strive to give ourselves to those who may be in a weak or lonely state, understanding that love and compassion have infinite healing capacity.”
