“If I had more kidneys to donate, I would do it all over again, even for strangers,” shared Itzel Guzman after giving her father the gift of life through a living kidney donation. “The process was smooth and the hospital staff made everything worth it.” HCA Healthcare patient Juan Guzman lived with untreated diabetes for years. In 2022, severe symptoms led to a diagnosis of stage 5 kidney failure, the most advanced form of chronic kidney disease. Juan sought expert care at HCA Healthcare affiliate Methodist Hospital Specialty and Transplant, which is equipped with the largest living kidney donor transplant program in the nation. Juan was placed on dialysis and needed a lifesaving kidney transplant. His daughter Itzel wanted to help and soon began the evaluation process to determine her eligibility to be his donor — she was a match. The San Antonio, Texas hospital care team guided Juan and Itzel through every step of the transplant process. Soon after the successful kidney transplant, Juan was walking and full of life once again. Itzel extends her gratitude to Luke Shen, MD, surgical director of kidney transplant at Methodist Healthcare System, for his skill and compassion during their journey. She notes that her father’s recovery was nothing short of extraordinary. As a leader in living donor kidney transplants, HCA Healthcare performed more than 350 live kidney donor transplants in 2024. Thank you to our dedicated transplant team members across HCA Healthcare who help give patients like Juan a second chance at life.

HCA Healthcare patient Poppy Gorden’s journey is one of courage, compassion and collaborative care. As a toddler, Poppy’s parents noticed she had trouble performing basic daily activities. A country-wide search for answers led Poppy’s family to HCA Midwest Health and she was diagnosed with myoclonus-dystonia, a rare and complex movement disorder. Menorah Medical Center’s skilled neurology care team created a personalized treatment plan to care for Poppy and performed a deep brain stimulation procedure, aimed to help improve her motor function and movement control. At four years old, Poppy was one of the youngest patients to undergo the cutting-edge neurological procedure. Before the procedure, Poppy's dystonia interfered with her ability to walk, run and feed herself. Nearly one year after her lifechanging surgery, Poppy is happy and healthy. She and her family recently returned to Menorah Medical Center to thank her care team for their compassion and expertise. Poppy concluded her hospital visit by showing her caregivers how she could now skip unassisted with her older brother, Fox. Poppy, we are honored to be part of your healthier tomorrow! #CareLikeFamily #HealthierTomorrows

On National Hospitalist Day, HCA Healthcare thanks hospitalist physicians for their compassion and expertise. These highly skilled hospital medicine practitioners provide exemplary clinical care to our patients during their hospital stay by diagnosing, managing and treating a wide range of conditions, as well as coordinating care across many specialties. A hospitalist’s extensive clinical experience in caring for some of the most complex medically ill patients – as well as their focus on providing patient-centered care – translates into safe, high quality care for hospitalized patients. Dr. Jennifer Everett-Damewood serves as the Hospitalist Medical Director at TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center in Tennessee, and has been a part of the hospitalist community for more than 10 years. “I love taking care of patients and building those relationships by getting to know them and their families,” she shared. “I enjoy seeing the care that I provide make a difference in patients’ well-being and sometimes their lives. It is very rewarding.” Dr. Everett-Damewood recently was named HCA Healthcare’s TriStar Division 2024 Medical Director of the Year for her commitment to leadership, innovation and excellence.

For over thirty years, HCA Healthcare colleague Robin Yoder has made a remarkable impact on the lives of countless cancer patients and their families. As an oncology social worker at Johnston-Willis Hospital, a part of HCA Virginia Health System, Robin has used her own cancer journey to fuel her passion for helping and inspiring others. As a teenager, Robin was diagnosed and treated for osteosarcoma. Years later, Robin was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma, which ultimately resulted in the amputation of her right leg above the knee. As a two-time cancer survivor, Robin’s unique perspective and tremendous courage has shaped a profound career supporting our cancer patients. To further her impact, Robin helped create The Hawthorne Cancer Foundation at Johnston-Willis Hospital, supporting cancer patients and caregivers throughout central Virginia. She facilitates several cancer support groups and hosts an Annual Cancer Survivorship Day event. In 2021, Robin received the HCA Healthcare Frist Humanitarian Award for her efforts and donated $2,500 of awarded funds to The Hawthorne Cancer Foundation. Annually, Robin leads and joins friends, HCA Healthcare physicians, patients and other participants in a fundraising walk. She is there every step of the way – all 51.7 miles. In its three years, the event has raised nearly $95,000 to help support patient needs like transportation and food. “For me it’s personal because when I was diagnosed in 2010, I never would have imagined I would walk 51.7 miles, let alone do it three times,” Robin shared. “What started from a small $2,500 award has now grown into a signature event that helps ease the burdens faced by local cancer patients.” Thank you, Robin, for inspiring us through your compassion and dedication to your patients and community. #PositiveImpact
