Winter 2021: Orlando Health

by fcepadmin | Jan 28, 2021

To kick off FCEP’s 50th anniversary year, we asked our most dedicated partners — FCEP/EMLRC Annual Corporate Sponsors, who donate $10,000 or more each year — why they choose to invest in educating and supporting the emergency medicine industry. Read on to learn not only how these companies can support you and your practice, but why they love to do so.

Orlando Health is a 3,200-bed system in Central Florida that includes 15 hospitals and emergency departments, among various other specialized services. They are on the forefront of patient care in multiple areas, including therapies for end-stage breast cancer and identifying biomarkers to detect traumatic brain injury.

Orlando Health’s mission is to improve the health and quality of life of the individuals and communities they serve, and has provided more than $760 million in total value to the local region. Being an EMLRC Corporate Partner gives them an opportunity to support, impact and connect with those who are on the front line – and CLINCON gives them an annual opportunity to engage with the local EMS community.

“As Central Florida’s only Level One Trauma Center, Orlando Health’s Orlando Regional Medical Center has a responsibility to our local communities, which includes being an engaged partner with the EMS teams in our area,” says Dr. Christopher Hunter, Chief Quality Officer. “Working together, not just as we transition patients into our ERs from their initial care, but before that – through planning, training and drills – ensures we (will) ultimately provide the very best care and outcomes to the patients we both serve.”

Every year, Orlando Health sponsors scholarships for local EMS to attend CLINCON. Stay tuned for announcements regarding these scholarships. ■
