Serving the Youth
High School sports aren’t the only youth that Andre C. Hobbs has been serving, he is also an active participant in several youth enrichment programs like the Big Brother charity and the Big Sister charity. These organizations are notorious for their services by being the oldest and largest of its kind in the nation. Their mission statement boasts that it provides children facing difficult adversity with strong and supportive, professionally supportive one-to-one mentors that change the children’s lives for the best for a long time. A multitude of studies have shown that children that have “big brother” or “big sister” as a mentor are more likely to be confident in their schooling, have a healthier relationship with their families and are less likely to get involved with drugs, alcohol and gang affiliation.
Hobbs didn’t only support that Big Brother and Big Sister charities, he also took part in mentoring a young boy from the organization. Before becoming involved in the mentorship, Hobbs had to take part in a rigorous application process that included home assessments, background checks, references, in-person interviews and multiple training sessions. One of the biggest misconceptions about charities and organizations like these are that they’ll take almost anyone as a volunteer. However, Hobbs committed to his young man for a six month period, which included two to four hour sessions every week. With all of Hobbs commitment to life skills counseling programs, he has hopes to start his own non-profit organization for youth development in the future.

Especially with all of his time spent hospitals, Hobbs believes that humor is an important factor of life. Overall, he enjoys making most of his patients smile whenever he gets the chance, especially if it can ease their mind from the chronic pain or traumatic memory.
Andre C. Hobbs strives to continue being one of the best practicing Physiatrist in the state of Florida. A Physiatrist is a doctor who not only studies physical medicine and rehabilitation, but interventional pain medicine as well. He also strives to keep The Center for Quality Pain Care, P.A. branches ahead of their time and running to their best ability. Andre Hobbs is the owner and medical director of three of them thus far in North Miami Beach, Miramar and Coral Gables, all located in Florida. He hopes that sometime in the future that he can expand The Center for Quality Pain Care, so he and his staff can continue serving those in need of acute and chronic pain management, sports medicine, interventional pain procedures, nonsurgical spine management, electrodiagnostic medicine and occupational medicine.
Hobbs also hopes to further pursue his interest in electrodiagnostic medicine, interventional pain procedures, acupuncture, neuromodulation, occupational medicine, plasma and stem cell therapy, mild brain injuries, exercise physiology and physical medicine, so he can make each more and more involved with The Center for Quality Pain Care.
Andre C. Hobbs also hopes that he can give back to his community and the youth. He’s applied years upon years of his service to various high school sporting seasons and youth integrated charities. In fact, he spent an uplifting six months with a young man with a troubled past, and every week for four hours, they’d have sessions, sorting out the young man’s problems. After doing this, Hobbs knew he wanted to commit as much of his time as he could to starting his own non-profit organization in youth development.
