to share holiday cheer! Our colleagues dropped off new unwrapped toys for economically struggling families through XL 1067's Baby DJ. Additionally, we delivered 26 decorated trees to Fisher House Orlando and UCF Lake Nona Hospital Radiation Oncology to brighten the season of Orlando VA Healthcare System military veterans and cancer patients receiving care over the holidays.

Thank you to our caring colleagues and generous Lake Nona community who donated these special gifts during our annual Jingle Nights & Holiday Lights tree lighting event earlier this month.

When you or a loved one is sick or injured, it can be hard to know if you need immediate medical attention, or if it’s something you can treat at home. HCA Florida Poinciana Hospital Chief Nursing Officer Victor Llamas spoke with Care Connect host Martie Salt about how a free call to Consult-A-Nurse can help take the guesswork out of your healthcare decisions.

Chest pain isn’t something to ignore. Whether it feels dull, sharp, burning or crushing, it could signal a serious issue — and the only way to know for sure is to seek medical attention.

Call 911 or visit the ER if chest pain is severe, prolonged or accompanied by:
• Confusion or disorientation
• Trouble breathing, excessive sweating, or dizziness
• Pain spreading to the jaw, left arm, or back
• Sudden tightness, pressure, or crushing sensation in the chest
• Rapid heartbeat or dangerously low blood pressure

Trust your instincts — if something feels wrong, don’t wait.

Need expert advice? Our experienced, licensed nurses are available for free 24/7 to guide you — no judgment, just support. Call HCA Florida Healthcare's Consult-A-Nurse® line at 844-70-NURSE (844-706-8773).

The holidays mean decorating, parties and family get togethers for many of us. But this busy time of year also brings an increased risk of accidents and injuries. HCA Florida Healthcare's Dr. Sade Garcia Henry shared what to watch out for with HealthCARES host Paige Beck.

Holiday moments are meant for joy, but if the unexpected does happen, knowing where to go can make all the difference.

As the largest network of hospitals and physician practices across the state, HCA Florida Healthcare is here to make access to advanced and personalized care easy - wherever the season takes you.

From minor injuries and seasonal sniffles to true emergencies, our primary care providers, urgent care clinics, and emergency rooms each offer the right level of care when you need it most. Remember: urgent care or primary care is often best for minor concerns, but for life-threatening emergencies, the ER is your safest choice.

Last week we celebrated the season with UCF Lake Nona Hospital’s annual Jingle Nights & Holiday Lights tree lighting event, gathering more than 1,000 guests from our Lake Nona community!

Attendees enjoyed art, dance, choir, jazz band performances and Color Guard from our talented students at Laureate Park Elementary, Eagle Creek Elementary School, Lake Nona Middle School -OCPS, Luminary Middle School, Lake Nona High School and Tohopekaliga High School! Hospital CEO Wendy Brandon and Board of Trustees Chair Dr. Jane Gibson greeted guests and counted down to the official lighting of the tree, while hospital Surgical Services Director Jonathan Muniz entertained as the evening's emcee.

Plenty of holiday cheer was on hand along with food trucks featuring gourmet hot dogs, grilled cheese, espresso and doughnuts, while children played reindeer games, decorated crafts, and even got their photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Guests visited with Orlando Fire Department first responders, toured a real fire engine, and learned how to save lives by practicing Hands Only CPR.

The evening was topped off by our tree decorating contest, which included 26 creatively decorated entries of two-foot trees donated by hospital departments and the community. The trees will be donated to local Lake Nona hospital patients at UCF Lake Nona Hospital and Fisher House Orlando at the VA.

Congratulations to our talented tree winners:
Cardiopulmonary for Operation Christmas – Patriotic Theme
EAG for It’s a Wonderful Life – Traditional Decorations
