Jill’s Story: Feeling Seen and Cared for at AdventHealth Carrollwood

Jill is a lifelong horse lover with a fearless spirit — and a few injuries to show for it. After multiple surgeries at other hospitals, she knew how cold and clinical the experience could feel. But when her orthopedic surgeon recommended AdventHealth Carrollwood, she discovered something different. From the warm welcome at check-in to the flexible visiting hours and bright, peaceful rooms, Jill felt cared for as a person, not just a patient.

During her six-day stay, nurses Raj, Kat and Natasha made her laugh, lifted her spirits and never let her feel like a burden. Help ensure every patient receives that same compassion. Make a gift today to the AdventHealth Carrollwood Foundation to help give patients like Jill the crucial care they need.

New Women’s Health Clinic

Women suffering from pelvic floor disorders, bladder dysfunction and GI issues often suffer in silence.

AdventHealth Carrollwood is changing that with a new Women’s Health Clinic, opening August 2025, designed to restore dignity and empower healing through compassionate, whole-person care.

With expanded exam space, advanced diagnostics and pelvic floor physical therapy, this clinic offers timely, personalized treatment — reducing unnecessary surgeries and hospitalizations.

Your support helps transform women’s health in Tampa Bay, giving more women the care and respect they deserve.

They didn't have to be so dear, but they were. I cried. I hugged my nurses because they made such a difference.
