A year ago this week, Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend, causing loss of life and catastrophic damage. Just a few weeks later, deadly Hurricane Milton tore a path of destruction through Central Florida, and as that anniversary approaches, HCA Florida’s Orlando-area hospitals are reinforcing their commitment to emergency preparedness and rapid response should the community experience a hurricane this season. HCA Florida Healthcare includes five hospitals in the Greater Orlando area: HCA Florida Lake Monroe Hospital, Oviedo Medical Center, UCF Lake Nona Hospital, HCA Florida Osceola Hospital and HCA Florida Poinciana Hospital.
