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.

is the leading cause of cancer-related death according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Many people don’t know the hidden risks they may be exposed to every day. Common lifestyle risk factors include:

🚬Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke
💨Exposure to radon, a colorless and odorless radioactive gas that occurs naturally in soil
🦠Inhaling hazardous chemicals like asbestos, uranium and other toxic products
🏭Exposure to particle pollution, such as inhaling tiny particles from exhaust smoke
🎗️Prior radiation to treat other cancers

In addition to lifestyle risk factors, a family history of lung cancer may also increase your risk. Fortunately, lung cancer is most treatable when it’s caught early. Across our larger HCA Healthcare system of care, Sarah Cannon Cancer Network treats over 12,000 cases each year, bringing deep experience and compassionate care to every patient.

If you think you may have an increased risk for lung cancer based on these risk factors, talk with your doctor or schedule an appointment with one of our experts:

? Nearly 1.2 million women in the U.S. give birth by cesarean section (C-section) each year – about one-third of all pregnancies, according to the CDC.

As a part of the American Medical Association’s What Doctors Wish Patients Knew™ series, Dr. Cindy Celnik, assistant national medical director of Women’s Services for our broader HCA Healthcare network, shares helpful insights about C-sections – from when they’re medically necessary to how advancements are making recovery smoother.

Across HCA Healthcare hospitals, enhanced surgical recovery (ESR) protocols are helping improve outcomes for C-section patients by promoting faster healing, shorter hospital stays and reducing opioid use – all through evidence-based care.

Learn more about C-sections and how HCA Healthcare is using data from more than 215,000 annual births to support healthier beginnings for moms and babies: https://bit.ly/4nBh9Ol.

On this , we proudly in pink once again for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 💗

It was a powerful display of unity and hope on Saturday as our HCA Florida Healthcare hospitals in Miami-Dade —HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, HCA Florida Mercy Hospital and HCA Florida Aventura Hospital — came together to support the American Cancer Society at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk at loanDepot Park. Together, we are toward a future free from breast cancer.

In the U.S., breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women (after skin cancer) and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths (after lung cancer). Early detection saves lives. When breast cancer is found early, treatment is more effective and outcomes improve.

Our team is more than a group of healthcare professionals; they are advocates for your health. Their skill, compassion and dedication help make early detection possible.

�Today, we celebrate baby David Robert’s incredible journey of strength, hope, and healing.
Born at just 31 weeks, his mother rushed to get help when she realized he had stopped moving. She was transferred to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, where an emergency C-section was performed after signs of distress in his heartbeat.
Within hours of birth, baby Robert went into cardiac arrest due to fluid around his heart. Thanks to the swift, expert response of our NICU team, his life was saved. For two months, he received highly specialized neonatal care—surrounded by expert hands, compassionate hearts, and unwavering support.

Today, baby Robert is home, healthy, and thriving. His mother calls him a “true warrior” and shares her deep gratitude for the doctors and nurses who cared for him like family.
This is the power of teamwork.
�This is the mission in action.�
This is why we show up.
