Palms Medical Group supplies gifts for 120 area children

Press release from Palms Medical Group

HIGH SPRINGS, Fla. – Santa Claus came a little early in North Central Florida this year. Palms Medical Group supplied gifts for 120 children within their service area.

This effort was in partnership with Guardian ad Litem in Levy and Gilchrist Counties, as well as Partnership for Strong Families.

In November, wish lists for the 120 children were distributed to Palms Medical Group employees, who proceeded to purchase gifts for each child. Once all the gifts were counted, Palms’ marketing department loaded and delivered them to Guardian ad Litem and Partnership for Strong Families during the week of December 1, 2025.

“Seeing the impact Palms gets to make for these children is truly an event I hold close to my heart,” said Ashley Chesney, a participating Palms team member from the High Springs office. “A personal impact for myself has been reflecting on my adopted brother, especially knowing his sibling is still in foster care and might not have the same experience during this season. Knowing our staff provides such joy for all these children really brings the Christmas magic to life.”

Purchasing gifts for underserved children is only one of many initiatives Palms Medical Group undertakes to carry out its mission: to enhance the health and well-being of their communities. Between holiday food giveaways, bookbag distributions for back to school, and numerous sponsorships, the organization continuously seeks opportunities to give back to the community.

“The organization possesses a posture of giving with an open hand,” said Kyler Burk, Director of Marketing for Palms Medical Group. “What never ceases to amaze me, though, is that our team members mimic that same posture to give in the same way. Our company values not only hang on the walls, they walk the halls, the city streets, and the town squares.”
