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.

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.

Colleague Spotlight: Ana AIvariza, RN – clinical nurse coordinator, medical surgical unit at HCA Florida Capital Hospital.

When asked about her journey of becoming a nurse Ana says, ā€œI became a nurse because I love science, and I enjoy taking care of others. Nursing is truly a job from the heart. I enjoy the critical thinking aspect and the fact that if I do things right and do my best, I can make a positive impact on people’s lives.ā€

ā€œI adore being a nurse, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. Helping others is such a humbling experience and I enjoy also mentoring new nurses and helping them strengthen their skills and confidence.ā€

ā€œI started as a travel nurse in 2022, and the team at HCA Florida Capital Hospital made me feel right at home, I decided to come back as a full-time nurse on the same floor. I like the fact that HCA Healthcare offers opportunities within different hospitals, locations, and even countries.ā€

When asked about advice Ana has for new nurses – she said, ā€œTo new nurses, your role is more important than you may think. You will touch people’s lives, and they will touch yours. It’s the most humbling and fulfilling career, and it must be done with heart. As a nurse, you meet people at their worst—emotionally and physically. You can change someone’s life forever, so do it with the best intentions. Treat every patient with empathy and compassion.ā€

"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.

ā€œThe professionalism was like no other,ā€ 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.

In this season of giving, HCA Florida Capital Hospital is grateful to be able to support Second Harvest of the Big Bend with a donation of 340 lbs. of food, which equates to approximately 285 meals, collected by our colleagues to help our neighbors in need.

As part of HCA Healthcare’s 5th annual Healthy Food for Healthier Tomorrows Food & Nutrition Drive, the HCA Healthcare Foundation and hospital colleagues throughout the state provide thousands of nutritious meals to community organizations by donating food and making financial contributions to help purchase perishable items such as milk, fruit and vegetables.

ā€œAt a time of increasing need for many families, HCA Florida Capital Hospital colleagues are grateful for the opportunity to contribute toward a healthier tomorrow for our neighbors,ā€ said Dale Neely, chief executive officer. ā€œOur annual Healthy Food for Healthier Tomorrows Food & Nutrition Drive provides an important reminder of the importance of healthy eating and having access to nutritious food all year long.ā€

More than one in seven Americans lack consistent access to nutritious food, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Food insecurity is associated with a higher risk of multiple chronic health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, mental health concerns and other chronic diseases.

Heart symptoms never happen at a good time, but getting the right answers can make all the difference.

While EKGs, ultrasounds, and stress tests are helpful first steps, they often give a broad look at your heart. When you need more clarity, precision cardiac imaging takes things further with detailed CT scans and MRIs that reveal what’s really going on.

These advanced images help your cardiologist pinpoint the exact issue — from arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies to coronary artery or valvular disease — so your treatment plan is tailored to you.

If you’re experiencing chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or an irregular heartbeat, don’t wait. Talking with a cardiologist is the best first step. They’ll decide whether precision imaging is needed based on your symptoms and risk factors.
