“When people ask what’s driven me all these years,
I always give the same answer.
It’s you.”
- Arnold Palmer

Healthy Kids
The Orlando hospitals bearing the names of Arnold and Winnie Palmer reflect our historic and ongoing commitment to ensuring that children and families within our home region receive world-class care. We also support other national organizations enhancing children's lives through the diagnosis and innovative treatment of childhood cancers and autism.
Youth Development
We're passionate about helping young people acquire the leadership and character vital to living a #LifeWellPlayed. We collaborate with and invest in organizations which foster academic and athletic success, character development, service, and leadership in youth.
Nature-Focused Wellness
Like her husband, Winnie Walzer Palmer loved "the green." A lifelong steward of the natural world, she advanced environmental education, recreation, and conservation. The Palmers' love for the outdoors is exemplified in our commitment to:
• Providing access to place-based ecology education, particularly for children
• Protecting and enhancing natural lands
• Facilitating youth exploration of nature
