At the Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, pediatric patients were treated to a Valentine’s Day party where they met four Florida Panthers players, Stanley C. Panther (the team mascot), and the dance team. The young patients were thrilled to have the opportunity to interact with Anton Lundell, Josh Mahura, Will Lockwood, and Kevin Stenlund. They participated in various activities, including painting small wooden hockey sticks and puck cut-outs.
The team’s visit was part of their charitable efforts through the Florida Panthers Foundation, which has a mission to benefit the South Florida community by focusing on four key areas: promoting hockey for children and youth, supporting health and education initiatives for children, advocating for veterans’ issues, and raising awareness about the endangered Florida panther.
Broward Health’s mission is to provide quality healthcare to the community it serves while also supporting the needs of its physicians and employees.
