COMMUNITY

Community Partnerships

The mission with each project PQH completes is to improve the quality of life for the end user. Never is this mission more evident than in our community partnerships. PQH and its employees take great pleasure in these opportunities to help and serve others.

The Arc Jacksonville

The Arc promotes and protects the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively supports their full inclusion and participation in the community throughout their lifetimes. PQH donated the necessary design and coordination services at the Westside facility for the addition of four ADA compliant restrooms; two located on each floor of the two story building.

The Bridge Teen Center

The mission of The Bridge Teen Centers is to provide free programs during after-school and unsupervised hours where students can develop mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually in a safe environment. The Bridge Teen Center is a place for students not just to be, but to become. Through the Rotary Club of Deerwood, PQH is donating design services for a new 3,400 square foot center in Springfield.

Catholic Charities

Catholic Charities uses a variety of approaches to deal with poverty, providing basic needs to individuals and advocacy to address systemic poverty. Through its member agencies, Catholic Charities provides services to millions of people a year through activities such as housing, health care, and disaster relief. Some services are provided directly by member agencies; in other instances, in conjunction with other organizations. Through Catholic Charities, PQH is donating design and coordination services for several projects around Jacksonville including some at Camp I am Special.

Deerwood Rotary Children's Park

This park was developed and created through a civic, public and private partnership and designed with the special purpose of providing equal access for handicapped and disabled children. Located in the Southside area on Baymeadows Road East, the new park is the special effort of the Deerwood Rotary Club whose members worked very hard on the concept for the community park and provided partial funding. PQH is proud to have donated the necessary architectural services for this delightful addition to the surrounding community.

The First Tee

The mission of The First Tee of North Florida is to impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.
