Orlando VA Healthcare System (OVAHCS) announced today it has again earned a five star rating as part of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services 2025 hospital quality ratings. CMS’s hospital ratings are based on five categories: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience and timely and effective care. A higher star rating, out of 5, indicates better performance on these quality measures.

Malnutrition Awareness Week

According to American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, it is estimated that 20-50% of hospitalized adults in the U.S. are malnourished. The rate of malnutrition is highest in older adults. Data suggests that hospitalized older adults consume less than 50% of both protein and energy requirements from hospital meals.

Registered dietitians (RDs) can conduct a nutrition assessment and initiate fortified foods, oral nutrition supplements and nutrition support in malnourished patients or those at risk during hospitalization. RDs can connect these malnourished patients with outpatient nutrition appointments if desired to improve nutrition outcomes. Have you seen your registered dietitian yet?

The Orlando VA Healthcare System (OVAHCS) will host a 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, 2025, in the first-floor canteen lobby of the Lake Nona VA Medical Center.

The keynote speaker will be U.S. Army Veteran Calvin Wimbish, who served more than 33 years of active, Guard, and Reserve duty before accepting several combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. A retired Green Beret, aviator, infantry-paratrooper, and military intelligence officer, Wimbish returned to Afghanistan as a military contractor after his military retirement.

As part of the commemoration, the Patriot Guard Riders will bring the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) Traveling Wall to the Lake Nona campus Sept. 8–12. The wall honors service members who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Global War on Terrorism. Spectators and viewers can stop by to find their loved one’s name Mon-Fri from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Volunteers from the Patriot Guard Riders will be available during the five-day display to assist guests in locating names on the wall and to answer questions about its significance.
