This issue of You + Your Health features stories that illustrate how our organization is working to increase your family’s access to advanced life saving medical services through:

• Collaborative agreements with Florida Hospital’s Heartland Division and Highlands Regional Medical Center we are facilitating improvements in regional cardiac patient care. Through this collaboration our Bostick Heart Center is helping Highlands, Hardee and Okeechobee county patients receive open heart surgery within “the golden hour.”
• Expanding our relationship with the University of Florida College of Medicine, we are launching a new initiative that will have great outcomes for men who are battling prostate cancer.

Also included in this issue is a compelling patient story that features the vital services of Winter Haven Hospital’s Regency Center for Women and Infants Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Completing this edition of You + Your Health is an overview of Neurosurgeons Drs. John Amann and Matthew Burry’s excellent spinal surgery practice at our new state-of-the-art surgical center.

I hope you find the features and content of You + Your Health interesting and informative. Thank you for choosing Winter Haven Hospital as your family’s hospital.

Sincerely,

Lance Anastasio
