HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital

Bradley came in to our ER where he got outstanding care. Today, he was moved to one of our rooms in 1 East. Bradley got a visit from Amira, the HR Business Partner at HCA Florida Largo Hospital, who brought him the gift of one of our We Show Up tumblers. He was so grateful, he asked us to take a picture with his new tumbler, and one with Amira, too! Bradley says, “Everyone has treated me really well here. I am glad to be safe at the hospital where everyone is so nice.” Thanks to Bradley, and to Amira! #WeShowUp #HealthcareHeroes

After suffering a stroke, Michael Pyffer found himself in the caring, capable hands of the HCA Florida Largo Hospital - Largo West Hospital rehabilitation team. When Hurricane Milton formed and evacuation orders came in, there was no choice but to evacuate Mike to HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital and higher ground. Mike wasn’t alone. His Largo West Hospital rehab team – Ethan Larson, PT, and Annie Mehl, OT – chose to go with him. They wanted to continue providing the best possible care to Mike during this stressful time. Following the evacuation of the hospital, both Annie and Ethan were activated for Team A at St. Petersburg Hospital. “We were there for Mike at Largo, and we wanted to show up for him at St. Petersburg Hospital, during the hurricane,” said Ethan. Though nervous about the approaching hurricane, Mike says he feels safe at HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital, and in good hands with Ethan and Annie. “I know they care about me,” said Mike. “I just want this hurricane to pass to I can have a beer.” #HCAFloridaFamily #CareLikeFamily
