 * More details are needed about Shands at the University of Florida. The history, leadership, and research sections should be expounded upon. Jccort (talk) 19:54, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Name
It should be noted that the name UF Health Shands Hospital, or Shand Hospital, etc. is no longer being used. The name has transitioned to just UF Health, dropping the shands name all together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ladred (talk • contribs) 16:08, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

This is not entirely true. Regardless of the official name, it is most commonly called Shands. The renaming has been immensely confusing. The old building is now called Shands' Hospital, while the two new buildings are called the Cancer and Trauma Hospital, and the Heart, Vascular and Neuro Hospital. The three together, along with the Dental Science complex, UF Health Physicians, and other Gainesville locations, are called UF Health Gainesville. In short, it's still called Shands, both officially and colloquially, but the distinction and categorization may be incorrect based on offical guidelines. SSyntaxin (talk) 00:23, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
