UF Health Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases
  • The Fixel Institute was founded on the principle that we serve patients and families.
  • The waiting area provides a calm, open and welcoming atmosphere.
  • The waiting area was built with high ceilings and a scenic view, which together symbolize the idea that there is hope even when there is disease.
  • This sentiment is captured by two paintings from a local artist.
  • The first painting shows a family suffering from dystonia and the second painting reveals the same family in an identical scene celebrating the “cure day,” after the end of dystonia.
  • The waiting room was donated by a generous gift from Tyler’s Hope for a Dystonia Cure.
