Re: experiences at Shands hospital

[Guest guest]

Hi Mike & Sandy, I am sure I have told you how much I love Shands. They have a new clinic just for IPF. Everybody there treats you wonderful. Be sure to call us when you get to Fl. we are about 30 min from the interstate. very easy to find. Love & Prayers, Peggy Florida, IPF/UIP 2004"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet, when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." Hi yall, We are still in ton but plan to spend some of this winter (Feb-Apr) in the Spring Hill area of western Florida. We plan to use the area as a base from which to make several short trips as we try to determine whether Florida would be a feasible area for us to live from this point forward. A great share of our decision would be based on the type of care provided IPF patients as myself. We currently frequent an IPF being Center of Excellence here in ton but are interested in hearing any experiences those on this forum may have had at either the Shands Hospital in Gainesville or the Mayo Clinic of ville. It would also help if those of you who do frequent these facilities could let us know how far you must drive to receive treatments. We are interested in finding a 55+ older manufactured home park with lots of activities so if any of you know any such facilities in close proximity to these hospitals, it would be greatly appreciated. Mike & Sandy
