🧠 A is a bulge in a blood vessel in the brain. It can rupture without warning, leading to a life-threatening stroke. Many aneurysms go undetected so it’s critical to be aware of the most common symptom as well as risk factors.

Across our broader HCA Healthcare network, caregivers treated more than 3,000 brain aneurysms last year. HCA Healthcare has 43 comprehensive stroke centers and cares for more than 70,000 patients admitted for stroke treatment annually.

If you’re concerned about your risk for an aneurysm, talk to your doctor. And if you have a sudden, severe headache, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Know where to find emergency care near you: https://bit.ly/4iVw8C9

💙 Thank You, Parkland Medical Center Team! 💙

We asked you to support the Healthy Food for Healthier Tomorrows Food Drive — and you came through in an amazing way!

Together, we collected 375 pounds of food and essential items to benefit Sonshine Soup Kitchen, supporting families in need. Together with our HCA Healthcare facilities in New Hampshire, we gathered nearly 2,800 pounds of food and essential items to help four food pantries across the Granite State!

Food insecurity remains one of the most pressing health challenges in our communities. That’s why our Parkland family was proud to join other HCA Healthcare facilities nationwide for this initiative — ensuring families have access to healthy meals during this holiday season.

Your generosity and compassion truly make a difference. Thank you for showing what community and care look like! 💪

If you’re not feeling merry and bright this holiday season, you’re not alone. The holidays can be a joyful time, but they can also bring anxiety and emotional strain. Knowing the symptoms of depression can help you recognize when you’re feeling more than seasonal stress.

If you’re struggling with depression, these tips from the NAMI may help you manage it better so you can enjoy holiday festivities:

🎯 Be aware of your personal triggers.
✍️ Try journaling or writing a gratitude list to shift your perspective.
📅 Do your best to avoid overscheduling – it’s okay to say no.
🛑 Set boundaries with people who make you feel negative emotions.
🧘 Make time for relaxation, deep breathing or meditation to help ease stress.
🍷 Drink in moderation as alcohol can amplify negative emotions.

Last year across our broader HCA Healthcare network, our emergency rooms saw nearly 838,000 visits related to cardiac complaints. You know your body better than anyone. If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts. And if your chest pain is severe or accompanied by any of the symptoms shown here, seek emergency care immediately.
