A team of Veterans from HCA Florida Memorial Hospital attended the 2025 JAX Chamber’s Military Appreciation Breakfast.
This longstanding Chamber tradition honors the courageous men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, as well as the many veterans who call Northeast Florida home. The guest speaker was Rear Admiral Carlos Sardiello, Commander, U.S. FOURTH Fleet who was introduced by Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan.

We are proud of our Veterans who have served and continue to serve in Jacksonville.
