Treasure Coast Wildlife Hospital


Treasure Coast Wildlife Hospital is available for the community in Hobe Sound, Florida. It is a community institution for helping injured, sick, or orphaned wild animals. It is also an education and information center for residents and visitors. The center has undertaken a new project to add to their hospital. This new venture is the Treasure Coast Wildlife Center, which will house animals that cannot be released back into the wild. The center's new building will display these animals for education purposes, as well as provide the animals with a safe place to live.

Jean Henry and Ruth Stanwood moved to Martin County in 1969. They had a number of Morgan horses and love all living creatures. They created a ranch that soon turned into a home for wild animals to be protected. The hospital was founded in 1974. In the first year they helped at least 50 birds. Public visitation has not started yet given the temporary facilities they have until the completion of the wildlife center. However, anyone can bring in animals that need help. The gate is open to patients from 8:30am to 5:30pm seven days a week. There are only rare occasions when the office may be closed.
