On Dec. 28, 2025, Matthew Polaski, a freshman at the University of Alabama, was on a family vacation in the Dominican Republic when he fell from a third floor and sustained a traumatic brain injury. He was placed in a medically induced coma to allow brain swelling to subside. Matthew was flown to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, where physicians determined he had suffered multiple skull fractures, a fractured pelvis and fractures to his lower back vertebrae.

This month, Matthew was discharged fully conscious and with no brain swelling. His family expressed deep gratitude to the care team, thanking them for saving his life.

Alayah spent the holidays in the neonatal intensive care unit at HCA Florida Kendall Hospital and graduated toward the end of the year.

Her mother, Janet, said the NICU team made a lasting impact. “Everyone in the NICU was very attentive. The nurses truly care and love the babies. One of them even bought her first bow.”

Welcoming a new baby into the world? Congratulations! While it's an exciting time, having a baby takes a toll on your body, especially if you've had a delivery (also known as a C-section). Here are some suggestions to help you have a smoother recovery.

Contact your doctor if you're experiencing intense uterine cramps, difficulty urinating, anxiety, depression, foul-smelling discharge or heavy vaginal bleeding.

Last year, HCA Florida Healthcare delivered nearly 33,000 babies; that's one baby every 17 minutes. Learn more about our labor and delivery services

BEST GIFT EVER! 🍼🎄✨

As we wrap up the weekend, we’re sharing a little extra holiday cheer from HCA Florida North Florida Hospital.

With tiny hands, brave hearts and big dreams ahead, our NICU miracles remind us every day of the extraordinary gift of life and the hope it brings.

To our incredible NICU team — thank you for your unwavering compassion, your steady hands and the love you pour into every moment of care. You make this season brighter for our smallest patients and their families in ways that words can barely capture.

As one of the largest healthcare providers in Florida, we’ve had the honor of welcoming more than 32,000 newborns this year — a new beginning every 17 minutes. Thank you for trusting us with your most precious moments and the people you love most.

Join us in celebrating the joy of Christmas and sending warm wishes to all our NICU families for a healthy, hopeful and heart-filled New Year.

One of the ways we show up for our Florida communities is by supporting local food banks, pantries and soup kitchens. Throughout the year, our colleagues volunteer their time and donate resources to help families facing food insecurity.

Recently, HCA Florida Memorial Hospital donated thousands of dollars — and a canned food sculpture — to the St. Johns Food Pantry. Our sculpture of the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum won the HCA South Atlantic Division contest and placed second runner‑up nationally among more than 190 hospitals.

It was an emotional moment as St. Johns Food Pantry’s Jon Gorecki accepted our $15,000 check, presented by Chief Operating Officer Chris Kovacs. The 15‑foot‑tall lighthouse, built from 1,400 cans and weighing more than 900 pounds, will be on display this weekend before being donated to the pantry next week — just in time for the holidays.

The St. Johns Food Pantry provides meals to more than 150 people per day, helping feed 750 people each week and more than 3,000 each month. We’re proud to support food‑insecure families in this small but meaningful way.

From our 'house' to yours: May your holidays and New Year be filled with as much joy as the little miracles we witness every day in our NICU and birthing suites. 💖🎄

Just in time for Christmas.

“We could not have asked for a better experience to welcome our precious baby girl. Everyone here is incredible; literally every nurse was so kind and made us feel comfortable. The nurses — Kerrin, Elizabeth, Shy, Ruby — the CRNA, Jenny, and the entire OR staff who assisted me during my C‑section were exceptional. My epidural was administered without complications and was closely monitored. From room cleaning to food service, we were truly well taken care of. Even my husband was checked on regularly. I have no complaints. It was a five‑star experience,” said Ashley.

As one of the largest healthcare providers in the state, we’ve welcomed more than 32,000 newborns in the past year — a birth every 17 minutes. Whether you’re looking for holistic birthing assistance or the latest technology and the assurance of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), we’re committed to providing the specialized care you want when you need it.

You can trust us to deliver expert care with compassion. Register for our upcoming tours, classes and events at your local hospital: https://bit.ly/3MKtHq5.

At HCA Florida Healthcare, we know that welcoming a baby into the world is more than a moment. It’s an experience families remember forever.

In 2023, Mackenzie delivered her baby, Hudson, at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital. One of the nurses caring for her that day was Kristen — and what started as compassionate, patient-centered care turned into something truly special.

“I really wanted to make her delivery experience incredible like I do for every patient,” Kristen shared. “We just bonded during her time here. Two years later we’re close friends. I came to Hudson’s birthday party. Mackenzie came to my wedding. We cared for her like family, and now she is basically family.”

Stories like Mackenzie and Kristen’s are why our team shows up with so much heart. At HCA Florida Healthcare, every delivery is personal, and every family is cared for like our own.

Every day, families across Florida trust us with moments just like this — with nearly 33,000 babies delivered last year. That’s a new little life every 16 minutes. Whether you’re preparing to welcome your first baby or your fourth, our experienced labor and delivery team is here to support you every step of the way.
