Bringing your baby home is a moment many families dream about, but the path there may not always go exactly as planned.

For some new moms, a C-section may be the safest option for them, their baby or both. Having conversations with your doctor before delivery can help you feel more prepared if your birth plan changes.

A sore throat can often be handled at urgent care, especially when symptoms are mild and you need help with testing or treatment.

But if you’re having trouble breathing, difficulty swallowing, severe swelling, drooling, dehydration or a high fever that won’t improve, it may be time to go to an ER.

Our care teams are here to help you get the right care at the right time — with high-quality, patient-centered care when you need it.

Care Like Family means caring for the moments that matter most. ❤️

While Sandy Godlewsky recovered from hip surgery at HCA Florida Englewood Hospital, her care team made sure she and her husband, Bob, could still celebrate a milestone 65 years in the making.

Our colleagues surprised the couple with flowers, balloons, sparkling juice, dessert and a card filled with heartfelt wishes. They even played ‘Lady in Red’ — the song Sandy and Bob have long called their own.

For Sandy, Bob and their family, the celebration was more than a kind gesture. It was a meaningful reminder that compassionate care goes beyond medicine. It means seeing the whole person, honoring their story and helping them feel cared for like family.

Please join us in wishing Sandy and Bob a happy 65th anniversary and thanking our colleagues for making this special moment possible.

When Donald Dox Taylor suffered a stroke on New Year's Eve, his life changed in an instant.

A licensed massage therapist for 23 years, Donald suddenly lost the ability to move and struggled to speak as he called 911.

Throughout weeks of rehabilitation, he remained focused on one goal: getting his life back. With determination, hard work and the support of his care team, Donald regained his strength, independence and confidence.

After a devastating car accident late last year, 19-year-old patient Melanie arrived at 🏥 HCA Florida Kendall Hospital with a severe traumatic brain injury, including brain bleeding and swelling that required emergency surgery. As one of HCA Healthcare’s 12 Level I Trauma Centers, the HCA Florida Healthcare hospital was prepared with multidisciplinary teams to provide the advanced, lifesaving care Melanie needed.

During her 24-day hospital stay, Melanie underwent emergency brain surgery, was monitored in the trauma intensive care unit and began physical, occupational and speech therapy as part of her recovery. Months after being hospitalized, Melanie returned to visit her care team — this time able to speak, write and even take a few steps as she continued in her recovery journey.

"She is now making a miraculous recovery and is an extremely driven and strong young lady," said Dr. Michael Renda, trauma and critical care surgeon at HCA Florida Kendall Hospital.

Melanie’s story is a powerful reminder of why advanced trauma care matters and how compassionate, coordinated teams help patients through some of life’s most critical moments.
