HCA Florida Brandon Hospital Free Health Screening Event
HCA Florida Brandon Hospital recently joined with Grace at Lithia in FishHawk to welcome the fall season with a family-friendly community celebration.
The event featured a day full of fun and wellness for all ages, including bounce houses, face painting, hayrides, pumpkin painting and the always-popular teddy bear clinic, where caregivers from HCA Florida Brandon Hospital helped young guests care for their favorite stuffed animals while learning about health care in a comforting, hands-on way.
Adults and children alike were also treated to complimentary health screenings and had the opportunity to meet with local physicians, reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to promoting health and wellness throughout the community.
“We’re grateful to partner with Grace at Lithia to bring families together for a day that celebrates both fun and wellbeing,” said Dr. Christine Van Cott, chief medical officer of HCA Florida Brandon Hospital. “Events like this help us strengthen our connection with the community and encourage healthy habits for the whole family.”
