Jacksonville Emerges as “America’s Health Center”
The Jacksonville city government, VISIT JACKSONVILLE and members of the area's medical community have joined together to promote a new initiative branding Jacksonville as "America's Health Center" and a leading destination for medical meetings and patient care. Among the many first-rate medical facilities and bioscience companies headquartered in Jacksonville is the Northeast Florida location of the renowned Mayo Clinic.

"The superior patient care and highly specialized technology of Jacksonville's medical institutions, universities and businesses specializing

in medical products and services coupled with our pleasant climate, attractions and meeting facilities make Jacksonville an ideal destination for this market segment," said John Reyes, president and CEO of VISIT JACKSONVILLE.

VISIT JACKSONVILLE, formerly the Jacksonville & the Beaches Convention and Visitors Bureau, is committed to offering expert assistance to medical and other meeting professionals with a full spectrum of meeting and convention planning services.
