HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital is pleased to announce the successful completion of its "We Show Up® for Our Schools" school supply drive, held in July. The initiative, which aims to support employee’s families, resulted in an impressive total of over 1,000 items collected to help 38 students.  

Hospital colleagues, from physicians to administrative staff, rallied together to contribute a wide array of school supplies, including notebooks, pencils, binders, and other essential materials. These contributions will directly benefit students in need within their hospital family and ensure they start the school year equipped and ready to succeed.  

"At HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital, we believe in taking care of our own,” said Michael Ehrat, chief executive officer (CEO) of HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital. "We look forward to seeing the positive impact these supplies will have on our local students to ensure a successful school year."
