A Partnership of Learning and Sharing

Unlike most other university-affiliated communities, Oak Hammock has a true symbiotic relationship with UF. The university didn’t just lend its name to the community; it was integrally involved every step of the way – providing valuable input from a variety of colleges ranging from Medicine and Nursing … to Pharmacy … to Veterinary Medicine. Thanks to the depth of knowledge, creativity and research brought by the UF faculty, Oak Hammock is on the cutting edge in the senior living industry.

This affiliation with UF truly sets Oak Hammock apart . . . benefiting both community members and the university in many ways. Among them:

• Because our 22,000-sq.-ft. Fitness Center is affiliated with UF’s College of Health and Human Performance, attention has been paid to the smallest detail – from installing the right equipment to calibrating the ideal temperature for the swimming pools. 
• The College of Dentistry staffs an on-site, full-service dental hygienist suite.
• The College of Veterinary Medicine operates a Veterinary Clinic at Oak Hammock, providing routine wellness care. Pet sitting is also offered.
• The College of Fine Arts provides performance venues and schedules on-site recitals.
• The College of Medicine provides a Mini-Medical School series.
• The College of Pharmacy provides weekly consulting services with members
• Liberal Arts and Sciences presents educational programs in a wide range of disciplines.
• Oak Hammock members serve as mentors, lecturers and volunteers in the University’s many academic programs. 
• Because Oak Hammock is directly affiliated with the University of Florida, members have campus privileges similar to those of University faculty – with access to sports, performing arts events, library and research facilities, and more.   
  

The Oak Hammock/UF relationship is a “win-win” if ever there was one.
