Nurses at HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital volunteer as part of Nurses Week

In celebration of Nurses Week, nurses from HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital stepped beyond the bedside and into the community, volunteering their time with Harvest Drive Florida to help provide essential food supplies to families in need.

During the day of service, the nursing team worked together to unload, organize and pack non-perishable food items for distribution. Volunteers also assisted with preparing bags and loading completed food packages for delivery, helping ensure families across the community receive much-needed support.

“We don’t just work in these communities – we live here,” said Caren Roach, Chief Nursing Officer. “Contributing time and resources helps our communities, our patients and our people thrive. Nurses Week is a meaningful opportunity for our team to show up in a different way and extend our care beyond the hospital walls.”

The effort reflects HCA Healthcare’s broader commitment to community engagement and service. In 2025, HCA Healthcare colleagues across the country provided $19.5 million, with matching funds, to support charitable organizations and volunteered 354,000 hours.

Through initiatives like this Nurses Week volunteer event, HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital nurses continue to demonstrate that compassionate care extends far beyond clinical settings—making a lasting impact in the lives of the communities they serve.
