Port Charlotte, FL    This Father’s Day, HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital proudly highlights a special father-son duo whose commitment to patient care extends beyond their family bond. Anthony Sumo, a long-time leader in the hospital’s Respiratory Services department, works with his son, Anthonio Sumo, who supports vital operations in the Supply Chain Services department. Together, they represent the heart of healthcare — one that beats through generations, disciplines and departments.

Even though my dad and I have different roles at the hospital, working in the same place gives me a deep sense of connection to both him and our shared mission of helping others,” said Anthonio at Fawcett Hospital. “Seeing his dedication and passion up close inspires me to work harder and take pride in what I do. It’s meaningful to share this experience with him; it makes the work feel personal and special.”

“I love working with my son because it gives me the chance to see him every day and spend quality time together,” said Anthony Sumo, director of respiratory services at Fawcett Hospital. “I enjoy hearing about his college classes and staying connected with what’s going on in his life.”

This Father’s Day, HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital honors the many fathers across its departments who balance their work with their most important role — being a dad. But for families like the Sumo’s, the walls of Fawcett Hospital have become more than just a workplace — they are a place where legacy, love, and dedication come together.
