news release

Treasure Coast Community Health recently broke ground on its future Oslo Pediatric Center, a 20,000-square-foot facility designed to meet the growing health needs of the county’s largest pediatric population. With this expansion, TCCH deepens its commitment to ensuring every child has access to quality, comprehensive care, regardless of income or circumstance.

The new center will provide integrated pediatric services including medical, dental, behavioral and mental health care. “Our community’s needs are changing, and so are we,” said Vicki Soulé, CEO of TCCH. “This center reflects our continued commitment to providing quality care for every child, regardless of income or circumstance.”

A Legacy of Leadership

The Oslo project also honors the extraordinary legacy of Vicki Soulé, one of Florida’s leading healthcare advocates. Under her leadership, TCCH has grown to serve more than 33,000 patients and 97,000 visits annually. She has championed:

• Vision exams and services for children and seniors
• A dental outreach program for children
• Substance use disorder treatment
• Lactation support
• Diabetes programs for Type 1 and Type 2 patients
• Jail-based healthcare services
• Strengthened partnerships with community agencies
• Mobile medical, dental, and outreach units

Few individuals have contributed more profoundly to the health of the Treasure Coast than Soulé.

A Gift of Recognition

To commend her impact, an anonymous donor contributed a $100,000 matching grant from the Indian River Community Foundation in Soulé’s name. Thanks to the generosity of the community, that match was doubled in just days.

“Today, I’m proud to present this $100,000 check in honor of Vicki’s long-standing leadership and in support of a project that will make a lasting impact on our community,” said Jeff Pickering, Indian River Community Foundation President and CEO, who presented the gift.

Meeting a Pressing Community Need

The Oslo Pediatric Center is projected to open in Spring 2026, expanding TCCH’s capacity to serve an additional 15,000 children while continuing to care for pediatric patients at other TCCH locations.

The importance of expanded pediatric services in Indian River County is clear:

• 16% of children live below the federal poverty level
• 50% of households are in poverty or one paycheck away
• 88% of TCCH pediatric patients come from low-income households

“TCCH is dedicated to adapting our services to meet the diverse healthcare needs of all residents,” Soulé continued. “Together, we are building a healthier future, because quality healthcare should be available to everyone.”
