At HCA Florida Healthcare, we know that welcoming a baby into the world is more than a moment. It’s an experience families remember forever.
In 2023, Mackenzie delivered her baby, Hudson, at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital. One of the nurses caring for her that day was Kristen — and what started as compassionate, patient-centered care turned into something truly special.
“I really wanted to make her delivery experience incredible like I do for every patient,” Kristen shared. “We just bonded during her time here. Two years later we’re close friends. I came to Hudson’s birthday party. Mackenzie came to my wedding. We cared for her like family, and now she is basically family.”
Stories like Mackenzie and Kristen’s are why our team shows up with so much heart. At HCA Florida Healthcare, every delivery is personal, and every family is cared for like our own.
Every day, families across Florida trust us with moments just like this — with nearly 33,000 babies delivered last year. That’s a new little life every 16 minutes. Whether you’re preparing to welcome your first baby or your fourth, our experienced labor and delivery team is here to support you every step of the way.
