✨Serving Up Care and Compassion: Michael Matthews Marks 29 Years of Hospitality Excellence

When Michael Matthews joined HCA Florida Englewood Hospital nearly three decades ago, his goal was simple: provide steady hours for his young family. What he found was a career filled with purpose and pride.

“My proudest moment was when our team finished first in the division for patient satisfaction,” Michael said. “That recognition meant everything because it reflected the dedication of our entire team.”

When asked about one of his most significant memories, he pointed to the resilience demonstrated by our colleagues in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. “While catastrophic in so many ways, our culture at Englewood HCA was the shining light during the darkest hours,” he recalled.

Over the years, Michael has seen the hospital grow and evolve. “We’ve added so many services for our community,” he said. “But the culture remains the heartbeat of Englewood HCA.”

What keeps him here after 29 years? “I never wanted my success to get in the way of my happiness,” he said. “True strength always lies in the dedication of your team members.”
Outside of work, Michael loves to write and has a deep fascination with history. His advice for newcomers? “The best thing about being a caregiver is learning how to care.”

Michael reflected on the significance of celebrating our 40th Anniversary as a hospital: “It means there is still a place in this world for genuine care. Every day I walk through that door, it must be my best day, because it might be one of our patients’ worst days.”

Thank you, Michael, for nearly three decades of service and for reminding us that hospitality is more than a job, it’s a calling.

🥫Fighting Hunger. Feeding Hope. We Show Up!

HCA Florida Englewood Hospital colleagues joined forces to fight food insecurity through the Healthy Food for Healthier Tomorrows initiative, part of the HCA Healthcare Food and Nutrition Drive.

Thanks to their generosity, we collected three pickup trucks of donations, more than 2,240 pounds of food, providing over 3,360 nutritious meals for those in need.

Our team packed boxes to support local families, starting with confidential requests from hospital colleagues. Community partners stepped up to deliver food to St. David's Jubilee Center of Englewood Florida ahead of Thanksgiving.

A big thank-you to hospital board members Doug Izzo and Dave Wampler, Community Advisory Council members Brian Faro, Dr. Todd Chace and Joe Cataldo, and fellow Lemon Bay Sunrise Rotary members for making this possible.

According to the USDA, 12.8% of U.S. households were food insecure in 2022, up from 10.2% in 2021. Poor nutrition can lead to obesity, a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes and many cancers.

Heart symptoms never happen at a good time, but getting the right answers can make all the difference.

While EKGs, ultrasounds, and stress tests are helpful first steps, they often give a broad look at your heart. When you need more clarity, precision cardiac imaging takes things further with detailed CT scans and MRIs that reveal what’s really going on.

These advanced images help your cardiologist pinpoint the exact issue — from arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies to coronary artery or valvular disease — so your treatment plan is tailored to you.

If you’re experiencing chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or an irregular heartbeat, don’t wait. Talking with a cardiologist is the best first step. They’ll decide whether precision imaging is needed based on your symptoms and risk factors.

That’s why lung cancer screening is so important. Screening can detect cancer early, when it’s most treatable.
