On this during , we are shining a light on a father-daughter duo at 🏥 HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital and their shared commitment to care.
Brandon, an IT director, has been with HCA Healthcare for 30 years, including the past eight years at the Fort Pierce, Florida hospital. Now, he has the opportunity to work alongside his daughter, Andee, a nurse extern who will officially join the hospital’s trauma neuro care unit next month as a registered nurse.
Before she ever put on scrubs, Andee was a trauma patient in this very hospital. During one of the most vulnerable moments of her life, a nurse sat with her and said everything was going to work out. It was that moment that made her feel comfortable and inspired her career path. “That’s why I wanted to do what I do now,” Andee shared.
For Brandon, seeing his daughter choose HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital speaks volumes. “It’s awesome being able to see her and I’m so proud of her,” he said. “Having her here, it’s a testament that it’s a great place to work. When she started nursing school, I told her this was the place to be.”
Their story is a reminder of the dedication, compassion and purpose we see every day across the HCA Healthcare network — and how care can inspire the next generation.
