Dr. P. Phillips Hospital to have Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream available

Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital is the first hospital to provide Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream in its café.

Patients, visitors and team members can order ice cream daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the scoop counter in the café. 

A variety of Kelly's original and signature flavors will be available as well as non-dairy options.

“We know that small joys, like eating a scoop of ice cream, can make a big difference during a hospital stay for our patients and visitors,” said Richie Binet, director of food and nutrition for Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital, in a news release. “It offers a moment of happiness and connection, which is an important part of the healing environment we strive to create. Access to a sweet treat also supports our team members during their shifts as they provide high-quality, compassionate care.”

Kelly Seidl, the founder and co-owner of Kelly's, was a surgical nurse at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, making this partnership all the more special to the ice cream shop and Orlando Health. 

“We’re so excited to be part of Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital — our very first hospital location,” Seidl said in a news release. “We’ve always believed ice cream can brighten someone’s day, and we love the idea of bringing a little sweetness and comfort to patients, visitors and hospital staff.”
