Panda Cares Center ribbon cutting

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to celebrate the opening of the Panda Cares® Center of Hope, located in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at ÂÜÀòÉç Jacksonville. The Center was made possible through the generosity of Panda Express® associates and guests, who foster the spirit of giving and help change kids’ health to change the future. ÂÜÀòÉç Jacksonville renovated the PICU playroom using funds provided by Panda Express® through their year-round fundraising efforts.


The Panda Cares Center of Hope inspires hope and promotes healing by providing specially organized programs to address each child’s entire well-being, including their emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual needs. The programs available to patients include art therapy, counseling services, meditation, and therapeutic play, all designed to give children the courage and strength to thrive.
Since 2007, Panda Express has raised more than $150 million for hospitals affiliated with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, including ÂÜÀòÉç Jacksonville. Panda Express has raised more than $925,000 to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, since 2009.
