Dr. Luis Cadena, an equine veterinarian, recounts his journey from debilitating back pain to recovery after minimally invasive spine surgery at HCA Florida Ocala Hospital. His lifelong passion for horses was increasingly overshadowed by excruciating back pain. For years, he lived with a constant ache that he managed with shots and rehab, but the pain finally overwhelmed him while working with a horse, leaving him unable to stand.

An MRI revealed that his vertebrae were failing. At HCA Florida Ocala Hospital​, neurological surgeon Dr. Main performed a minimally invasive spine surgery, a procedure that offers smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. Immediately following the procedure, Dr. Cadena experienced a profound relief, waking up for the first time in 10 years completely pain-free.

Dr. Main explains that the minimally invasive approach allows surgeons to precisely target problem areas while minimizing impact on surrounding healthy tissue. This specialized care is designed to help patients regain their quality of life. Today Dr. Cadena is finally free from pain, happily working with horses once more and reflecting on how HCA Florida Ocala Hospital helped him get his life back.

We understand that orthopedic conditions are unique and complex. We are proud to have hospitals ranked in the top five percent nationally for overall orthopedic services and joint replacement. Learn more about the full range of our orthopedic services by visiting: https://bit.ly/4inflHR.

Heart conditions don’t always begin in childhood — and they don’t always make themselves known early.

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) can remain hidden well into adulthood, only surfacing later in life. That’s why, especially for older adults, staying proactive with regular checkups and specialized care is essential to catching silent heart issues before they become serious.

At HCA Florida Healthcare, part of the broader HCA Healthcare network, we’re committed to delivering comprehensive heart, lung, and vascular services — right here in your community. In 2024 alone, HCA Healthcare's Congenital Heart Programs performed over 700 CHD surgeries, helping patients of all ages live healthier, fuller lives.

While the holiday season is a time of joy and celebration, it can take a toll on your . According to the American Heart Association, more people have heart attacks between late December and early January than any other time of year.

In this video, representatives from our HCA Healthcare family and the American Heart Association demonstrate how to perform , which involves these simple steps:

📱 Call 911 immediately.
✋ Place your hands in the center of the chest and push hard and fast.

Through our collaboration with the American Heart Association, HCA Healthcare is enhancing heart health across the country by leading nationwide education initiatives that promote heart-healthy habits, CPR training and awareness of warning signs of heart issues.

"Patients can receive life-saving cardiac care right here in their own community," said Dr. Sailendra Upendram, interventional cardiologist with HCA Florida Healthcare.

When longtime coach and community volunteer Jeremy Martin suffered a sudden widowmaker heart attack while alone at his hurricane-damaged home, he chose to trust the same expert team his community has relied on for years. That decision saved his life.

As soon as Jeremy arrived at HCA Florida Englewood Hospital, the cardiac catheterization lab team was ready. Within minutes, they identified a 100% blockage of the LAD artery — a type of heart attack that is often fatal without immediate intervention. Dr. Upendram and his team quickly placed stents to restore blood flow.

“The professionalism was like no other,” Jeremy shared. His wife, Joey, expressed deep gratitude for the compassion shown to her in the middle of crisis. "The nurse came out several times to reassure me. I felt he was in great hands because of the team there."

Today, Jeremy has made a full recovery. He continues to coach, serve, and impact the community he loves.

His story is a powerful reminder: heart attacks can strike without warning, and every second matters. Take charge of your heart health. Learn more about cardiology services, find a heart care expert, and complete a free heart risk assessment with HCA Florida Healthcare: https://bit.ly/3KmnIXq.

is the leading cause of cancer-related death according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Many people don’t know the hidden risks they may be exposed to every day. Common lifestyle risk factors include:

🚬Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke
💨Exposure to radon, a colorless and odorless radioactive gas that occurs naturally in soil
🦠Inhaling hazardous chemicals like asbestos, uranium and other toxic products
🏭Exposure to particle pollution, such as inhaling tiny particles from exhaust smoke
🎗️Prior radiation to treat other cancers

In addition to lifestyle risk factors, a family history of lung cancer may also increase your risk. Fortunately, lung cancer is most treatable when it’s caught early.
