Core Values Photo Gallery
Whether it meant students volunteering in droves to inoculate the public, medical leaders persuading the reluctant to choose vaccination or intensive care unit doctors, nurses and staff stepping into the void to care for patients felled by a disease the likes of which they had never seen, the UF Health team took a leadership role in working to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. While the virus has been — and continues to be — the most serious test UF Health has faced, we’ve led the way in helping the community, and our great university, adapt to the ongoing challenge.

The Museum in the Parks program is an opportunity for the community to learn about Florida’s plants and animals by exploring on a special hike and personalized tour of the creatures that live in local parks, along with a look at Museum specimens to learn about collections and their importance.

With a better understanding of how the COVID-19 virus spreads, the Florida Museum of Natural History was able to safely bring back their Tot-Trot Nature Walks program, which were temporarily paused after the onset of the pandemic. Tot Trot is a bi-monthly program that encourages families to discover together both inside the museum and outside in the Natural Area Teaching Lab behind the museum. This program is vital to getting children excited about nature at a young age so they will be nature stewards as they get older. It is also important now more than ever to connect with our natural surroundings for improved overall health and well-being. — © Florida Museum, Photo by Kristen Grace

Museum in the Parks is a public program that brings diverse communities together to learn about natural history by taking people into nature, connecting them with UF students, faculty and staff scientists and the process of science, and making our research and collections accessible to all. Participants learn about natural history in outdoor state and local park settings by interacting with experts, exploring museum collections, observing live organisms, and participating in hands-on activities. — © Florida Museum, Photo by Kristen Grace

Despite a global pandemic, Florida Sea Grant persisted in applying science to provide solutions for some of Florida’s most pressing coastal issues. In October of 2021, Sea Grant, along with partner organizations and eager volunteers, came together to reestablish the long depleted native clam populations that once thrived along Florida’s Space Coast. With a healthy and sustainable clam population, the region could see both economic and ecological benefits with new income for fishermen and the introduction of a natural filter to combat the algal blooms threaten these coastal estuaries. — © 2020 UF/IFAS Communications, Photo by Cristina Carrizosa
In the fall of 2020, students and Florida residents braved a raging pandemic and traveled from far and wide to Cedar Key, Florida in to give their time to help restore coastlines that had been eroded by years of storm surge. Masked and physically distanced, volunteers did their part to place natural reefs and plant coastal grasses that when mature, will reestablish vital ecosystems for coastal organisms, as well as create a buffer for tidal surges that currently threaten critical urban infrastructure.
