Simply Healthcare Foundation Gives $230K to Expand Pediatric Mental Health Program

Hollywood, Fla. – September 30, 2026 -- Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital Foundation has secured a $230,000 grant from Simply Healthcare Foundation to expand New Solutions, a pediatric mental health treatment and suicide prevention program, over the next three years.

Grant funds care for 267 individuals over three years

The three-year grant began July 1 and will allow New Solutions to serve 267 individuals, targeting the gap between emergency psychiatric treatment and community-based behavioral health care. The program addresses children and adolescents who arrive at the emergency department in crisis but do not meet medical criteria for hospital admission or an involuntary examination under Florida's Baker Act.
