Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads out there! 👔

Today, we're inspired by the incredible story of one of our team members. When her dad couldn't verbally communicate after surgery, she turned her love and dedication into a powerful tool to help others. Thanks to Orlando Health and The Foundry program, this inspiration has grown into something that's now helping many patients facing similar challenges.

We launched Pride Month with our Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute Performance Health team as they helped the athletes remain injury-free.

The annual LGBTQ multi-sport competition saw athletes from across the U.S. participate in a variety of sports, from golf to everyone’s favorite — pickleball 🏓

The Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute Bioskills Lab, located at our downtown medical pavilion, regularly hosts colleagues from across the Orlando Health network and the globe to undergo hands-on surgical training in a realistic operating room environment.

Most recently, the Orlando Health Weight Loss and Bariatric Surgery Institute welcomed a group of international bariatric experts as they learned how to perform a new and innovative weight loss procedure called endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty.

In honor of National Trauma Awareness Month, we're proud to highlight the new Whole Blood Program. Launched in partnership with Orange County Fire Rescue Department, Florida, OneBlood and Orange County, Florida Government, this program provides whole blood transfusions to trauma patients on-scene, before arriving at the hospital. 🚑

Whole blood is crucial for treating trauma patients who have sustained significant blood loss, delivering all essential blood components (red blood cells, platelets, plasma, and white blood cells) at once. Every second counts when a patient is in urgent need, and this program dramatically improves the chances of survival.
