🍀 Don’t Press Your Luck This St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

March is , making it the perfect time to focus on small, heart-healthy choices that can make a big difference. Instead of leaving your health up to luck, fill your plate with colorful, nutrient-packed foods that support a stronger heart. 💚🌈

Here’s how to “Shop the Rainbow” for heart health:
🥬 Green: Leafy greens like spinach, kale and broccoli are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber that help support healthy blood pressure and circulation.
🍅 Red & Orange: Tomatoes, mangos and watermelon deliver antioxidants like lycopene that may help support healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels.
🫐 Blue & Purple: Blueberries and other richly colored fruits contain antioxidants that support long-term heart health.
🌾 Whole Grains & Lean Proteins: Choose whole grains like oats, brown rice or quinoa, and lean proteins such as chicken, fish, beans or tofu.
🥛 Smart Swaps: Opt for low-fat dairy and check labels to reduce sodium and added sugars — small swaps can have a big impact.

This National Nutrition Month, don’t press your luck — shop the rainbow and make simple swaps that help protect your heart all year long. 🍀

Yesterday, colleagues from HCA Florida JFK Hospital were proud to participate in a fundraiser supporting the Colorectal Cancer Alliance— helping raise critical funds for colorectal cancer research, education, and awareness.

The effort was led by colorectal surgeon Dr. Juliet Ray, who is passionate about educating the community on the importance of screening and early detection.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and the message is more important than ever. Colorectal cancer has been steadily rising in people under 50 for years, and experts still aren’t sure why. While overall cancer deaths in the U.S. continue to decline, a new report from the American Cancer Society warns that increases in colorectal and other cancers could threaten that progress.

The good news: it is also one of the most preventable cancers. Experts recommend that screening begin at age 45 for most people at average risk. Routine screenings can detect precancerous polyps early — often preventing cancer from developing at all.

If something doesn’t feel right, listen to your body and talk with your doctor about when you should be screened. Early detection saves lives. 💙To learn more visit, https://bit.ly/4bpKver

On Saturday, March 7, HCA Florida JFK Hospital partnered with The Links Incorporated, West Palm Beach Chapter, for the Fourth Annual Black Family Wellness Expo—bringing vital health information and resources directly to our community.

Our team hosted a Teddy Bear Clinic for young attendees, helping children learn about their health in a fun, comforting way while easing fears about doctor visits.

We were also grateful to have several of our physicians share guidance on key health topics, including kidney disease, gastrointestinal health, breast cancer awareness, and women’s health—with a focus on prevention, screening, and early detection.

As we mark 60 years of caring for our community, we’re proud to continue showing up with the expertise, compassion, and support families deserve.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Brown-Graham, Dr. Occenad-Nimmo, Dr. Abraham, and Dr. Olowe for volunteering their time and sharing their expertise.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and early detection matters. If you’re due for a screening, talk with your doctor about what’s right for you.

At HCA Florida JFK Hospital, we’re proud to partner with organizations like The Links, Inc. as we work together to build healthier communities.

👟💙 15,000 steps. Countless lives impacted.

On a typical day, Jason Rondon from our Patient Transport team walks more than 15,000 steps throughout our hospital — ensuring patients get where they need to be safely and efficiently. But on February 19, those steps helped save a life.

While transporting a patient from the Emergency Department to 3SW, Jason sensed something wasn’t right. Trusting his instincts, he immediately alerted the ED charge nurse. After reassessment, the care team ordered a STAT brain MRI. Jason acted without hesitation, expediting transport. The imaging revealed the need for emergent intervention, and the patient was taken straight for a life-saving thrombectomy.

Because of Jason’s vigilance, quick thinking, and commitment to patient safety, a catastrophic outcome was prevented.

At HCA Florida JFK Hospital, every role plays a vital part in patient care — and Jason exemplifies Excellence Always. Please join us in celebrating this incredible colleague who goes the extra mile (literally!) for our patients every day.

Every year in the U.S., around 900,000 people are diagnosed with serious blood clots, also called venous thromboembolisms (VTEs). More than half of these patients are hospitalized, and many don’t realize what’s happening until symptoms send them to the emergency room. Recognizing the warning signs early – and seeking care fast – can save lives.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Colorectal cancer is now one of the fastest-rising cancers among younger adults. Diagnoses in people under 50 have been increasing by almost 2% each year, making awareness and early detection more important than ever.

Today, we’re sharing Gary’s powerful story — a reminder that colorectal cancer can affect younger adults. He was only 40 when he was diagnosed.
His message is simple — and lifesaving:
👉 Listen to your body. Don’t ignore symptoms.
▶️ Watch Gary’s testimonial to hear his journey and why he encourages others to speak with their doctor if something doesn’t feel right.

At HCA Florida JFK Hospital, we’re committed to supporting our community with compassionate, expert care every step of the way. If something feels off… trust yourself. Talk to your doctor. Get screened.
