A New Era in Care: Reimagining Our Nursing Professional Practice ModelAfter more than 15 years, our organization proudly unveiled a newly developed Nursing Professional Practice Model — an inspiring framework that redefines how we deliver care and collaborate across disciplines. While honoring the legacy of nursing, this new model also propels it forward, ensuring that nurses remain empowered, engaged and equipped to meet the needs of today’s patients and tomorrow’s challenges.This model was born from a deep commitment to holistic care. It reflects our core values, our dedication to healing beyond the bedside and our belief that every patient’s journey is shaped by the people who support them — clinicians, families and communities alike.Rooted in Clinical Excellence and Caring Practice, the new model serves as a guiding compass for all nurses at Orlando Health and depicts the diverse areas where nurses practice within our system of care. Placed at its center is Patient- and Family-Centered Care, reaffirming our commitment to holistic, compassionate and inclusive care.Branching off are seven interconnected pillars that define and support modern nursing practice:• Safety, Quality and Innovation• Professional Development• Teamwork and Collaboration• Trust and Respect• Advocacy and Well-Being• Evidence-Based Practice and Research• Shared Leadership and GovernanceEncircling these elements is Orlando Health’s guiding mission: “To improve the health and quality of life of the individuals and communities we serve.” This statement reflects the broader impact of nursing beyond the bedside.At the foundation lie our organization’s four key behaviors —Connection, Communication, Curiosity and Commitment — which serve as the bedrock of nursing identity and practice. These values inspire nurses to build meaningful relationships, communicate with clarity and compassion, remain inquisitive, and stay dedicated to their calling.This milestone marks not just a revision, but a reinvention — one that aligns with the realities of modern healthcare and the aspirations of our caregivers. It’s more than a model; it’s a movement toward deeper connection, shared purpose and transformative outcomes.6O R L A N D O H E A LT HAs we embrace this new chapter, we reaffirm our promise: to care with intention, to lead with empathy and to serve with excellence.

Innovation in ActionInnovation in nursing is more than adopting new tools — it’s about reimagining care delivery. At Orlando Health, nurses are leading the charge, integrating technology into daily practice to improve safety, efficiency and patient outcomes. These advancements empower nurses to focus on what matters most: compassionate, high-quality care.Smarter Infusions, Safer CareThe Alaris Pump Interoperability Initiative is transforming medication administration across Orlando Health. By enabling bi-directional communication between Alaris smart pumps and EPIC, infusion data now flows automatically — reducing manual documentation, minimizing programming errors and enhancing patient safety.This initiative was co-created with input from 40 frontline nurses across specialties, including critical care, pediatrics and oncology. Their feedback ensured the system supports real-world workflows and high-acuity environments.A powerful example unfolded in Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center’s Cardiovascular Recovery Room (CVRR), where ICU nurse Lizette Gioia managed a patient requiring multiple lifesustaining therapies. With numerous drips to titrate and devices to monitor, Liz praised the integration’s ability to streamline documentation and reduce cognitive load — allowing her to stay focused on clinical decision-making and patient care.Her experience reflects how nurse-driven innovation can directly improve care delivery in the most demanding settings. This initiative exemplifies the Magnet pillar of “New Knowledge and Innovation” — showing how thoughtful implementation and frontline collaboration can elevate nursing practice.CPR Training ReimaginedThe Resuscitation Quality Improvement® (RQI®) program is revolutionizing CPR training at Orlando Health. Instead of traditional biennial classes, acute-care nurses now complete quarterly, self-paced sessions that combine e-learning with hands-on simulation — right on their unit.Every facility is equipped with RQI carts featuring adult and infant mannequins, bag-mask devices and real-time feedback. Nurses receive immediate coaching to refine technique and ensure verified competence in high-quality resuscitation.This low-dose, high-frequency model improves skill retention, boosts confidence and enhances patient outcomes. It also saves time and supports flexible learning — making it a win for both nurses and patients.8O R L A N D O H E A LT H

Our Commitment to QualityPatient safety and high-quality care are always at the forefront of our work at Orlando Health. Nurses across the system use data to guide practice — setting goals, tracking progress and identifying opportunities for improvement. Through strong teamwork and interprofessional collaboration, they implement evidence-based initiatives and technology to strengthen care delivery and outcomes. The following National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators® (NDNQI®) quality measures illustrate this ongoing commitment to performance, transparency and a consistent culture of quality at Orlando Health.Ambulatory Fall with Injury Rate Rate/1,000 Patient Days0.180.160.140.120.10.080.060.040.020OH System MeanAll U.S. Facility Mean2023Q30.090.082023Q40.060.122024Q10.060.172024Q20.050.082024Q30.060.12024Q40.020.082025Q10.040.12025Q20.060.08CLABSI RateRate/1,000 Patient Days0.700.600.500.400.300.200.100.00OH System MeanAll U.S. Facility Mean2023Q30.420.612023Q40.460.652024Q10.520.662024Q20.430.622024Q30.620.632024Q40.390.592025Q10.390.532025Q20.340.48CAUTI RateRate/1,000 Patient Days0.900.800.700.600.500.400.300.200.100.00OH System MeanAll U.S. Facility Mean2023Q30.450.772023Q40.570.762024Q10.240.702024Q20.320.642024Q30.240.652024Q40.350.702025Q10.350.632025Q20.170.63HAPI Stage 2+Rate/1,000 Patient Days1.801.601.401.201.000.800.600.400.200.00OH System MeanAll U.S. Facility Mean2023Q30.861.502023Q41.341.532024Q11.271.612024Q21.491.422024Q30.701.382024Q40.631.432025Q10.461.592025Q20.411.26Fall with Injury RateRate/1,000 Patient Days0.800.700.600.500.400.300.200.100.00OH System MeanAll U.S. Facility Mean2023Q30.510.592023Q40.720.582024Q10.510.572024Q20.550.572024Q30.420.612024Q40.460.572025Q10.390.612025Q20.410.629NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Throughout Orlando Health’s 100+ years of history, growth has been a constant. What started as a single hospital in an orange grove now stretches from the Florida Atlantic to Gulf coasts to the Caribbean and now into Alabama. The Orlando Health system of care has expanded to include Florida Medical Clinic Orlando Health, Doctors’ Center Hospital Orlando Health in Puerto Rico, Baptist Health and Baptist Health Medical Group. Every time Orlando Health expands, patients get better services and communities benefit.The following pages highlight the exceptional localized care our nursing team delivers to the patients and communities we serve.FacilitiesWith 808 acute care beds, Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC) is among the largest acute care facilities in the region and serves as one of Florida’s six major teaching hospitals. The flagship hospital provides intensiveand progressive-care services focused on cardiovascular, digestive health, neurosciences, oncology, orthopedics and trauma. It is among Florida’s 10 Level I Trauma Centers, and one of the busiest in the nation. Orlando Health has the only hospital in the area licensed for air transport from the scene of accidents across 15 counties in a 100-mile radius. Numerous hospital programs are recognized for excellence, including designation as a Verified Burn Center by the American Burn Association, providing high-level care for burn patients from time of injury through rehabilitation. The hospital also holds Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center, Hip Joint Replacement, Knee Joint Replacement and Spine Surgery certifications from The Joint Commission as well as accreditation from the Foundation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) for excellence in cellular therapies.Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center12O R L A N D O H E A LT H

After receiving lifesaving care across several units, he was transferred to 5A, the Complex Care Unit, where his story deeply resonated with the team.His family lived in Venezuela, and they hadn’t seen each other in nearly 10 years. His parents couldn’t travel to the U.S., and communication was difficult. To help bridge the gap, 5A nurse manager Kathryn Camplin used WhatsApp on her personal phone to connect the patient with his family. When Kathryn wasn’t available, senior nurse intern Mariolga Diaz Hernandez stepped in to facilitate daily visits.During a WhatsApp meeting with the care team, the patient’s family expressed their wish to bring him home. Dahlia, the complex care manager, coordinated with the Venezuelan consulate and Sky Nurses to make it happen.Then came a magical twist: Mariolga, originally from Venezuela, had worked at the hospital the patient was being sent to — in the same town where both their families lived. She explained that in Venezuela, nurses often purchase medicines and supplies with their own money, and families must bring food and other necessities for their loved ones. Concerned about their patient’s future care, the 5A team raised $1,000 to help. Mariolga’s father used the funds to buy and deliver a mini-split A/C unit, generator, suction machine and medical supplies.Mariolga still supports the family remotely, and her parents visit the patient’s family weekly. After nearly 10 years apart, the reunion between the patient and family was filled with joy and gratitude. The family continues to thank Orlando Health for the care and connection that made it all possible during his 100-day hospital stay.Location Orlando, FloridaChief Nursing OfficerTina Santos, MBA, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, CPXPAssociate Chief Nursing OfficersJewel Calub, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, CPXPKristy Hemingway, MS, BSN, RN, NE-BC2,125Nurses68%BSN Rate42% 22.7%TurnoverCertification Rate RateAssociated Free-Standing EDsOrlando Health Emergency Room – Waterford Lakes• Cardiovascular Intensive Care• Cardio Thoracic Step-Down• Digestive Health Unit• General, Trauma, Colon and Rectal Surgery• Medical Oncology Step-Down• Multi-System Step-Down• Neuroscience Step-Down• Neuro-Trauma Unit• Trauma Burn Intensive Care• Vascular Step-Down13NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Improving Patient Safety Through Fall PreventionAt Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, the Pediatric Ortho/Neuro Nursing Practice Council identified an increase in patient falls with injury — rates higher than the national average. Committed to quality and safety, the council launched a targeted improvement initiative.After reviewing best practices and literature, the team discovered most falls occurred when parents or caregivers were present, not nursing staff. To address this, they developed a fall prevention handout included in every admission welcome packet. The handout outlines key risk factors, safety tips and clear do’s and don’ts for caregivers. Nurses review the information with families, and both parties sign to acknowledge shared responsibility for patient safety.Since implementing this intervention, the results have been remarkable: zero falls with injury from January through October 2025. The team showcased their success at the 2025 Annual Research Symposium and shared the process with other units to expand its impact hospital-wide.This initiative demonstrates how collaboration, education and evidencebased strategies can significantly improve patient outcomes and reinforce our commitment to safe, high-quality care.AACN BEACON GOLD:• Pediatric Hematology Oncology• Pediatric Orthopedic/Neurology UnitOrlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children is a nationally recognized and trusted name in children’s healthcare. With 156 beds, the hospital has more than 30 areas of pediatric specialties including cancer and blood disorders, cardiology, digestive health and nutrition, endocrinology and diabetes, nephrology, neuroscience, orthopedics and sports medicine, pulmonology, and numerous subspecialty clinics and programs.

Enhancing Timely Discharges to Improve Patient CareOrlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies, one of the busiest delivery hospitals in the nation, faces unique challenges due to high patient volume. When discharges are delayed, room availability decreases, creating bottlenecks that ripple through the mother-baby units, labor and delivery, and triage areas. These delays can impact patient flow and increase risks such as hospital-acquired infections and blood clots.To address these issues, a multidisciplinary workgroup of nursing leaders and clinical nurses was formed to identify barriers and implement solutions for a safer, more efficient discharge process. Common obstacles included delays in prescriptions, pending treatments or results, breastfeeding challenges, awaiting discharge orders, and transportation issues. The team collaborated with pharmacy, case management, providers, photography and transportation to streamline the process.One key intervention was “nesting” mothers — completing their discharge while they wait for transportation or the baby’s discharge order. This approach significantly improved early discharge rates: discharges by 11:00 am rose from 12% to consistently between 34.2% and 54.2%, surpassing the goal of 38%. Another major improvement was the expansion of the pharmacy’s “Meds to Beds” program, which delivers medications directly to patient rooms. Utilization of this service increased from 30% to 70%, reducing delays and enhancing convenience.Over the past fiscal year, the team has refined these processes to improve both patient and staff experiences. Their continued efforts demonstrate a strong commitment to quality care, patient safety and operational excellence, setting the stage for even greater success in the year ahead.Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies provides programs and services focused on the unique needs of women and newborns. Of its 350 beds, 142 are in the neonatal intensive care units (NICU), making Orlando Health Winnie Palmer one of the largest NICUs in the nation. Welcoming nearly 14,000 babies each year, the facility is one of the busiest obstetrical centers in the United States. The hospital also is a Regional Perinatal Intensive Care Center for the state of Florida. Among its specialty programs is a successful in utero surgery program to repair spina bifida. It is the first and only hospital in Florida to offer this unique procedure. Orlando Health Winnie Palmer is consistently recognized for a commitment to excellence, earning Level IV Maternal Levels of Care Verification and Advanced Certification in Perinatal Care from The Joint Commission.Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and BabiesLocation Orlando, FloridaChief Nursing OfficerMary Rogers, MSN/Ed, RN, NEA-BCAssociate Chief Nursing OfficersLori Culbreth, MSN/ED, RN, NE-BC, CPNStephanie Paulik, MSN, RN, NEA-BC1,041Nurses63%BSN Rate39% 15.6%TurnoverCertification Rate Rate15NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Nursing Excellencein ActionAt Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute, precision and planning define our approach to elective orthopedic procedures like joint replacements, spinal surgeries and sports injury repairs. Our registered nurses (RNs) are experts in multimodal pain management and safe ambulation, tailored to the unique needs of orthopedic patients.Yet even in this specialized setting, medical emergencies can arise — from postoperative hemorrhages to cardiac events or anesthesia reactions. In these moments, swift, coordinated action is critical. Inpatient and post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) nurses, administrative supervisors with emergency and critical care backgrounds, anesthesia and therapy teams, and executive leaders come together to form a highly effective emergency response team.The transition from PACU to inpatient care is a pivotal point in recovery. PACU nurses bring deep insight into the patient’s surgical and anesthesia history, while bedside nurses take over ongoing monitoring. Clear, effective handoff communication ensures continuity and enables early detection of complications.During emergencies, PACU nurses rejoin the bedside team, contributing their recovery expertise and clinical context. Together, they collaborate with critical care and rapid response teams from Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center, reinforcing a system built on interdisciplinary teamwork.Nursing excellence here is a shared commitment — across units, hospitals and disciplines — ensuring every patient receives care that is both clinically sound and compassionately delivered.The first and only of its kind in the Southeast, the Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute hospital is a 75-bed orthopedic specialty facility specializing in joint replacement, orthopedic trauma, bone health, neurosurgery, musculoskeletal radiology, anesthesia and interventional pain. Before and after orthopedic surgery, patients are cared for in a 44-bed post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) by a team of highly skilled critical care nurses specifically trained to meet the needs of orthopedic and spine patients.Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic InstituteLocation Orlando, FloridaAssociate Chief Nursing OfficerAmie Fleming, MSN, RN-BC, NE-BC 121Nurses60%BSN Rate7.17% 25.6% TurnoverCertification Rate Rate16O R L A N D O H E A LT H

Orlando Health Advanced Rehabilitation Institute, a 54-bed dedicated rehabilitation specialty hospital, is distinctively designed to provide highquality, post-acute care for patients requiring medical and intensive rehabilitative therapies following stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple orthopedic injuries, amputation and various other complex neurological conditions. The hospital’s comprehensive integrated inpatient rehabilitation programs are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Providing physical, occupational and speech therapy in this hospital setting with an interdisciplinary team approach to care helps each patient reach individual rehabilitation goals at every stage of recovery.Orlando Health Advanced Rehabilitation InstituteFrom Trauma to Triumph: A Story of Healing and Progress When a teenage pediatric patient arrived after a devastating gunshot wound to the head, his life — and his family’s — changed in an instant. Before the injury, he was full of energy and loved football, snacks, games and reading. His rehabilitation journey began at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and continued at Orlando Health Advanced Rehabilitation Institute, where collaboration started with a simple but powerful nurse-tonurse report. That handoff wasn’t just about clinical details — it was about understanding who he was and what mattered most to him.From the moment he arrived, a multidisciplinary team — physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, dietitians, physiatrists, nursing, neuropsychology and recreation therapy — rallied around him.

The hospital proudly reintroduced women’s health services to the region and celebrated a particularly meaningful milestone: the birth of its first baby, Riley Mac Larson, weighing 10 pounds, 9 ounces. Riley was born at the Orlando Health Lake Mary Hospital Center for Women and Babies to team member Nicole “Colie” Larson, BSN, who serves as the hospital’s regulatory consultant, and her husband, MacLain.In honor of this moment, Seminole State College awarded a $5,000 scholarship to Riley as the first baby born at the facility — a special connection, as Colie is also a graduate of Seminole State College’s nursing program.With advanced medical capabilities, modern facilities and a continued focus on compassionate care, the hospital is a cornerstone of health and healing in Seminole County.AACN BEACON GOLD:• Progressive Care UnitLocation Lake Mary, FloridaChief Nursing OfficerJennifer Stoeke, MSN, RN, NEA-BCAssociate Chief Nursing OfficerKarla Dawkins, MBA, MSN, RN, NE-BC316Nurses70%BSN Rate16.65%TurnoverRate35%Certification RateAACN BEACON SILVER:• Medical Surgical Unit• Surgical Care UnitAssociated Free-standing EDsOrlando Health Emergency Room | Longwood20O R L A N D O H E A LT H

Transformational Leadership Drives Sustainable ImprovementsAs a 285-bed comprehensive medical and surgical acute care facility, Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital provides a complete continuum of care with advanced technology and expertise in diagnostic imaging, cardiovascular care, orthopedics, surgical services and emergency medicine. The hospital has earned Joint Commission certification in Advanced Total Hip and Knee Replacement and as a Primary Stroke Center. The hospital also includes a comprehensive Emergency Department that has received the prestigious Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) Lantern Award.Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips HospitalHealthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a serious threat to patient safety, despite decades of research and prevention bundles. At Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital, leaders recognized that eliminating HAIs required more than protocols — it demanded a culture of accountability and collaboration.In November 2024, the hospital launched two key interventions. First, a daily multidisciplinary “lines and drains huddle” reviewed every central line and urinary catheter for accuracy, compliance and necessity. These quick, structured conversations empowered nurses to advocate for device removal and reinforce best practices. At the same time, high-reliability leadership rounds brought leaders to the bedside, providing real-time coaching, observation and feedback. This visible presence bridged the gap between data and daily practice, turning rounding into a tool for learning and accountability.The results were striking. Five HAIs occurred in the three months prior to implementation. Post implementation, the team saw a decrease to three HAIs over the following 10 months. The hospital celebrated more than 260 days without a CLABSI and 350 days without a CAUTI. Patient experience scores also rose, reflecting stronger teamwork and leadership engagement. By embedding reliable processes and empowering frontline teams, the hospital proved that sustainable safety begins with nurses.AACN BEACON SILVER:• Progressive Care Unit• Intermediate Critical CareLocation Orlando, FloridaChief Nursing OfficerJudy Colorado, MA, BSN, RN, NEA-BCAssociate Chief Nursing OfficersHeather Moynihan, MBA, BSN, RN, NEA-BCAssociated Free-standing EDsOrlando Health Emergency Room | Osceola Orlando Health Emergency Room | Randal Park617Nurses62%BSN Rate58% 22.92%TurnoverCertification Rate RateAACN BEACON BRONZE:• Cardiac Progressive Care Unit21NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 2025

The Emergency Department team activated a STEMI alert, and he was rushed to the Cath Lab. During the procedure, the patient went into ventricular fibrillation and required immediate defibrillation. A critical blockage was stented, and he was transferred to the ICU on vasopressors.In the ICU, the patient told his nurse, Luna Excellent, that he wished he had a Bible. Luna found one, offering comfort in a moment of fear. The next morning, when he wanted to leave, Keishla Oquendo, the ICU clinical assistant nurse manager, sat with him — educating and encouraging him to stay. Later, in the Cardiovascular Intervention Unit, Emmanuela (Mya) Duperoux, Cynthia Carron, Noemie Guillite and Kristian Hayles continued his care and education. After three additional stents and close monitoring by the Rapid Response Team, the patient was discharged just two days later.A few days later, he returned — not as a patient, but as a grateful visitor — hugging nurses and thanking the team for saving his life. Stories like this reflect our commitment to compassionate care and clinical excellence.

Orlando Health South Lake Hospital, a 235-bed communityfocused hospital, recently completed major enhancements including a larger ICU, new progressive care units, and a renovated Orlando Health South Lake Hospital Center for Women and Babies. The hospital offers a wide range of specialties such as diagnostic imaging, cardiology, general and minimally invasive surgery, orthopedics, emergency care with Primary Stroke Center designation, and obstetrics and women’s health.Orlando Health South Lake HospitalAACN BEACON SILVER:• Intermediate Cardiac Care • Labor and DeliveryA Crisis, A Connection, A ChangeIt was a quiet afternoon — until the Emergency Department (ED) doors flew open. A pregnant mother, unresponsive and in a hypertensive crisis, was rushed in. Her blood pressure was dangerously high, and time was critical for both her and her baby.Amy McConomy Strain, ED clinical assistant nurse manager (CANM), immediately sprang into action. Just weeks earlier, Amy had attended the inaugural CANM Development Retreat, hosted by Carolyn Scott, chief nursing officer of Orlando Health South Lake Hospital, along with nursing leadership and the performance improvement team. The retreat emphasized teamwork and cross-department collaboration —skills that would soon prove vital.Recognizing the severity of the situation, Amy called for help. Arlene Rivera, Labor and Delivery CANM and fellow retreat attendee, responded immediately. The trust and understanding built during the retreat allowed them to work seamlessly, mobilizing teams and coordinating rapid interventions.Despite their efforts, the patient’s condition deteriorated, leaving both teams to process the emotional weight of the outcome. From that challenge came a renewed commitment: a collaborative initiative between Labor and Delivery, the ED, and local first responders to improve care for hypertensive conditions in pregnant and postpartum patients. Protocols were revised, training expanded, and communication strengthened. A crisis became a catalyst for change — and a retreat became its foundation.Location Clermont, FloridaChief Nursing OfficerCarolyn Scott, DNP, MBA, RN, NEA-BCAssociate Chief Nursing OfficerKimberly Hogan, MSN, RN, NE-BCAssociated Free-standing EDsOrlando Health South Lake Hospital Joe H. and Loretta Scott Emergency Room – Four CornersOrlando Health South Lake Hospital Emergency Room – Blue Cedar551Nurses58%BSN Rate20% 19.52%TurnoverCertification Rate Rate24O R L A N D O H E A LT H

Outpatient services include surgery, wound healing, laboratory and rehabilitation.Orlando Health St. Cloud HospitalFrom EMT to ICU RN: David Sandoval’s Journey of Growth and GritFor David Sandoval, BSN, RN, CCRN, the path to nursing began with a dream of becoming a rescue paramedic. After earning his EMT certification in 2016, a failed vision test for the fire academy detoured his plans. He worked briefly as an EMT before stepping away due to economic challenges.In 2021, his passion for emergency medicine reignited, leading him to enroll at Valencia College with a new goal — ICU nursing. Despite pandemic delays, he graduated in 2023 and joined Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital as a student nurse intern II in the ICU. During orientation, he passed the NCLEX and began practicing independently thanks to an internship that aligned with RN onboarding. He later completed the RN residency program, gaining confidence and meaningful professional connections.David’s passion for critical care deepened during a rotation in the Trauma/Neuro ICU at Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC). Since then, he has earned Basic and Advanced Critical Care certifications, completed ultrasound-guided IV and Rapid Response training, and even achieved his CCRN certification while taking advantage of Orlando Health’s paid parental leave.He credits Orlando Health for investing in his growth and supporting his family — from fully covering his NCLEX fees and providing paid study time during his SNI role, to helping pay off student loans in his first year. The organization also provided backup childcare during daycare challenges with his first child, covered 100% of his CCRN certification costs, and awarded a cash bonus when he completed the certification.“From EMT to ICU RN and Rapid Response nurse, every step has been supported,” David says. His journey reflects the spirit of Orlando Health — where opportunity, learning and compassion empower team members to grow while caring for their communities with excellence.Location St. Cloud, FloridaChief Nursing OfficerStacy Jemtrud, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, CENP, CNL 153Nurses70.5%BSN Rate11% 15.02%TurnoverCertification Rate Rate25NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 2025

The hospital also includes a comprehensive Emergency Department that has received the prestigious Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) Lantern Award.Orlando Health Bayfront HospitalCompassion Beyond CircumstanceAt Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital, a patient was admitted with a severe wound infection that was later diagnosed as osteomyelitis. Treatment required IV antibiotics, repeated debridement and wound VAC therapy. Discharge planning was complex because the patient was unhoused, creating significant barriers to continuity of care.Despite these challenges, the patient expressed deep gratitude, saying, “No one ever made me feel homeless.” One nurse went above and beyond, visiting the patient’s unhoused friends on a day off — with permission — to let them know about their friend’s hospitalization. This act led to visits from the patient’s community, easing loneliness.During the stay, the patient tragically learned of a parent’s passing and faced isolation when family declined contact. The hospital chaplain provided emotional support, and Guest Services helped send a bereavement card — small gestures that brought comfort during profound loss.Before discharge, the patient created a large, hand-drawn thank-you card featuring whimsical depictions of staff — from nurses to dietary and housekeeping — honoring how each person had touched their life. Moved to tears, the patient said it had been “years since [they] felt cared for as a human being.”This story is a powerful reminder that dignity and compassion can heal in ways medicine alone cannot.AACN BEACON SILVER:• Trauma Intensive Care Unit AACN BEACON BRONZE:• Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit Location St. Petersburg, FloridaChief Nursing OfficerLorraine Parker, MSN, RN, CENPAssociate Chief Nursing OfficersRobert Hawthorne, MBA, MSN, RN, CENJaime Hershberger, MSN, RNAssociated Free-Standing EDsOrlando Health EmergencyRoom – CrossroadsOrlando Health EmergencyRoom – Pinellas Park810Nurses63%BSN Rate5.3% 18.2%TurnoverCertification Rate Rate26O R L A N D O H E A LT H
