During a routine day at home, Kimberly Cansler, a 44-year old mother of nine children, suddenly felt her leg go numb. "I started hysterically crying at that point because I knew I was having a stroke," said Kimberly. She is the director of HCA Healthcare at Home, a service that provides home health expertise and resources for patients as they transition to care outside the hospital setting. Given her role in healthcare, she recognized the symptoms immediately and knew she was having a stroke. Stroke is the number five cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the United States. Early stroke detection and treatment are vital to improving survival, minimizing disability and accelerating recovery times. She dialed 911 and received care at HCA Florida Englewood Hospital. “I had a nurse named Olga. She gave me the power to push through it and gave my daughter peace of mind,” said Cansler. She recently had an opportunity to reunite with members of her care team. “To be able to go back and see them again, show them what they did for me, and thank them brought tears to my eyes.” Hear the story of Kimberly’s full recovery after stroke and her advice for others https://bit.ly/3X6zVSp If someone you know is experiencing signs of a stroke, face drooping, arm weakness or speech difficulty, don’t delay care, call 911. #HCAFloridaHealthcare #WeAreHCAFloridaFamily

Having a 'ruff' day? This will make you smile. Meet our pet therapy dogs and handlers! They are valued members of the animal therapy program at HCA Florida Englewood Hospital. Facility, service and therapy dogs have touched countless lives and brought smiles to patients, their loved ones and our care teams. Hospital colleagues collected seven boxes of food and supplies for the Suncoast Humane Society who provides this service. These canine caregivers enjoyed a party with special toys, treats and bandanas supplied by Lifelink of Florida. The hospital announced a $500 donation to support the program as well. Long time handler, Mary Szydlowski, visits patients and colleagues with her labradoodle, Max. She said, "The thing that I find every time I come here is that the patients and their visitors say, "You made my day" and we watch the stress leave their face. They light up. It's remarkable." This #DogDay, join us in celebrating therapy dogs as they spread joy and 'pawsitivity' wherever they go!
