We recently hosted our annual scholarship ceremony in partnership with the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County, recognizing an inspiring group of local high school students pursuing careers in healthcare. Made possible through the generosity of the medical staff of HCA Florida JFK Hospital and HCA Florida JFK North Hospital, these scholarships represent a meaningful investment in the future of our community.

Dr. Teresita Casanova, President of the Medical Staff, and Dr. Jack Zeltzer addressed the students, reminding them that they are the future of healthcare and encouraging them to one day return to care for the community they call home. This program is about more than financial support; medical staff members build ongoing relationships with the students, offering mentorship, guidance, and support when needed.

As one student shared, “This scholarship not only eases the financial burden of my education, but motivates me to keep striving toward my goals—knowing that professionals in healthcare believe in my future.”

We are proud to continue supporting these incredible students as they take the next steps toward making a difference in the lives of others.

May is Stroke Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the signs of stroke and the importance of acting quickly.

Stroke is a medical emergency, and recognizing the symptoms can save a life. Remember FAST:
🧠 F – Face drooping
💪 A – Arm weakness
🗣️ S – Speech difficulty
⏱️ T – Time to call 911 immediately

Every second counts. Quick action can reduce long-term damage and improve recovery outcomes.

At HCA Florida JFK Hospital, we are proud to be recognized as a Comprehensive Stroke Center by DNV and named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Stroke Care by Healthgrades. This recognition reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, life-saving care when it matters most.

Don’t delay emergency care for a headache that is sudden, severe and accompanied by neurological symptoms such as:
- Confusion
- Slurred speech
- Weakness/numbness on one side
- Vision loss
- High fever with a stiff neck

If you experience these symptoms, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

Yesterday, Dr. Ghumman, medical director of the Heart Failure Program at HCA Florida JFK Hospital’s Heart & Vascular Institute, spoke with more than 100 members of the Villagio community.

He shared a powerful reminder: some of the biggest drivers of heart health go beyond diet and exercise. Happiness, social connection, strong relationships, staying active, eating well, and truly listening to your body, all play a vital role in keeping your heart strong.

Attendees asked thoughtful questions and spent the morning engaged in meaningful conversation about living healthier, more fulfilling lives.

For nearly 40 years, the Heart & Vascular Institute at HCA Florida JFK Hospital has been caring for hearts across Palm Beach County, delivering advanced cardiovascular care with compassion, right here in our community.

HCA Florida JFK Hospital is proud to be part of HCA Healthcare, a network of colleagues united by how we show up for our patients, our communities and each other.

As part of our annual We Show Up® for Our Communities initiative, we’ve kicked off a month-long food drive benefiting the Palm Beach County Food Bank. Our colleagues are coming together to donate and give their time—volunteering on-site last week to make a direct impact for families in need.

In Palm Beach County, 1 in 7 people face food insecurity, making efforts like these more important than ever.

Together, our team bagged 161 sacks of potatoes and packed an incredible 4,050 bags of macaroni—helping put meals on tables across our community.

We’re grateful to our colleagues who continue to show up, give back and make a difference where it matters most.

At HCA Florida JFK Hospital, we understand it can be challenging to find time for important screenings. That’s why we’ve made scheduling your mammogram simple and convenient. Book your appointment online today: https://bit.ly/4cw7VPP
