At BayCare, compassion is at the heart of everything we do. 💙 For 89-year-old Anthony Fabrizio, that compassion became something extraordinary — the chance to marry the love of his life.

Anthony often shared stories with his care team, but one subject always made him light up: Nancy Woodard, the woman he had loved since childhood. As his health declined, he shared his final wish to marry Nancy before the end of his life. The team quickly came together, transforming his hospital room at Mease Countryside Hospital into a celebration space with garland, balloons, rose petals and candles. Team members gathered to witness the blessing of their union.

Moments like these remind us that healing extends far beyond medicine.

The “strong, silent type” works in the movies, but not in the doctor’s office. Your health depends on speaking up. Ask questions, even the uncomfortable ones, about prostate health, colonoscopies, sexual health and mental well-being. There’s no shame in saying, “I’ve never felt like this before.” Your life could depend on it. 💪

🎃🍬All treats, zero tricks!🍬🎃 St. Joseph's Children's Hospital's lobby, hallways and playground were filled with superheroes, video game characters and storybook figures on Halloween. Some came on foot, others arrived in wheelchairs and strollers, and all were in search of treats. Big thanks to all of the team members, volunteers and special guests for making sure our young patients and their families had a chance to trick-or-treat despite being in the hospital!

👏 Our CEO and president Stephanie Conners has been named one of Florida’s most influential industry leaders by Florida Trend in their “Florida 500” list, a special publication that honors the top 500 executives across the state. We’re proud to see Stephanie’s leadership recognized on such a meaningful scale!

Her words reflect her heart for service and authentic leadership: “When I leave this world, I don't want to be remembered for a remarkable career. Instead, I want to be remembered for being a loving mother, devoted wife and someone who made a meaningful difference in the lives of others. My hope is that by living authentically and striving to be the best version of myself, I’ve impacted others. In the end, it's not titles that matter, but the lives we touch. I want my legacy to be one of love, purpose and humanity.”
