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.

Today, we celebrate a powerful moment of gratitude with patient, Anton Giles, who is heading home from HCA Florida JFK North Hospital just in time to spend Thanksgiving with his family.

Anton arrived at our Emergency Department with what he thought were flu symptoms. Our team quickly recognized the signs of a stroke, as he expressed numbness on his left side and difficulty holding a cup and moved into action, helping save his life.

His story is a powerful reminder during Men’s Health Awareness Month to know the BE FAST stroke signs:
Balance loss • Eyesight changes • Facial drooping • Arm weakness • Speech difficulty • Time to call 911.

Men face a higher risk of stroke and quick action can make all the difference. Listening to your body and acting fast saves lives.

We are incredibly grateful for our dedicated team and grateful that Anton will be spending this Thanksgiving surrounded by family and love. 🧡🍁🦃

is an irregular or rapid heartbeat, also known as atrial fibrillation (AFib), often triggered by binge drinking. Alcohol consumption tends to spike between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day so, while holiday heart syndrome can happen any time of year, it's most common during the holiday season. And it can show up when you least expect it – especially after too much alcohol, stress or salty food – so be on the lookout for these warning signs:

😴 Fatigue
😵‍💫 Dizziness
💓 Heart palpitations
😮‍💨 Difficulty breathing
💢 Chest discomfort

If you notice any of these symptoms, it could be more than just the holiday hustle and bustle. Know where to go in case of an emergency: https://bit.ly/3Kj0n8X

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.

This month we welcomed the Inlet Grove High School LPN students for a special Day in the Life of a Nurse experience at HCA Florida JFK North Hospital. Students explored different facets of nursing across our hospital and even had the exciting opportunity to work hands-on with our robotic surgery system.
And earlier this month, we hosted the Inlet Grove Psychology class in our Mental Health & Wellness Department, where students learned how our teams support patients through compassionate, comprehensive behavioral health care. Residents and colleagues from GME, Music Therapy, and leadership connected with students and shared their real-world insights.
We are proud to partner with the next generation of healthcare professionals, across all departments and support their journey as they explore meaningful careers in healthcare.

Investing in the future of healthcare starts with inspiring our students today.

"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.

When Hurricane Melissa devastated Jamaica, many of our own staff at HCA Florida JFK North Hospital were directly impacted, with family and friends back home facing devastating loss. So, when we heard the call for help, our team showed up not just as colleagues, but as family.
We organized a hospital-wide supply drive for essentials like bedding, diapers, cleaning products, and feminine care items. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our staff, we collected more than a truckload of donations, from hand-crocheted blankets to coolers and critical emergency supplies.
We partnered with Living Well Community Care Center Inc., who are delivering these items directly to families in Jamaica. They are the boots on the ground bringing comfort, hope, and immediate relief.
This drive reflects more than a moment of generosity; it highlights our continued commitment to supporting local and global communities.

Your family story holds clues that affect your risk for . Start a conversation with the women in your life – mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmas, cousins – to uncover any history of breast cancer. If you’re gathering with loved ones for Thanksgiving or the holiday season, it may be the perfect time for a chat.

Ask questions like:
➡ Who in our family has been diagnosed?
➡ At what age did they receive their diagnosis?
➡ Did they have other cancers that are linked to breast cancer, like ovarian, cervical or endometrial cancer?

Once you’ve gathered your family health history, it’s time to talk to a genetic counselor. They’ll help you:
✅ Understand how genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 influence risk 🧬
✅ Navigate the ins and outs of genetic testing
✅ Receive personalized screening and prevention recommendations

Early knowledge is power. When you combine family insights with expert guidance, you take control of your health journey. Learn more about the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and guidelines for genetic testing: https://bit.ly/3LFOt9M
