Mr.Johnson I decided to Put my research on the blog because I thought it was a good idea.here is my research.e Turtle Hospital is the only state certified veterinary hospital in the world just for sea turtles. More than half of the hospital equipment has been generously donated by local hospitals and doctors, private individuals and organizations such as SIMA (which has donated a new x-ray machine and a new turtle ambulance in 2002, and the Sea Turtle Preservation Society of Brevard County which donated a new radiograph developer.
The Turtle Hospital was solely funded by Hidden Harbor Motel until 2001 when tourism dropped off after 9/11. The hospital is now funded by personal donors, grant and foundation money as well as the Guided Educational Experiences.
One of the main objectives of The Turtle Hospital is education through outreach programs to local schools. The hospital presents a slide show about sea turtles and the dangers they face along with a tour of the facility. The hospital conference room also provides meeting space for a local turtle conservation group,and special veterinary meetings.
