Staff at AdventHealth Zephyrhills celebrate their Lantern Award for ER care
The Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) is honoring AdventHealth Zephyrhills Emergency Department with the 2025 Lantern Award for providing exceptional patient care.
The Lantern Award is a symbol of an emergency department’s commitment to safety, quality and a healthy work environment. This year, 96 emergency departments across the United States received this prestigious honor. AdventHealth Zephyrhills is the first AdventHealth facility in the west Florida division to receive this award.
“We are honored our emergency department has received this national recognition, highlighting our dedication to whole-person care when our patients need it the most,” said AdventHealth Zephyrhills Chief Nursing Officer Gwen Alonso. “Our ER physicians and nurses deliver immediate and award-winning care for heart attacks, strokes, chest pain and other medical emergencies, and I applaud the team’s hard work in delivering on that every day.”
One of the innovative options our AdventHealth Zephyrhills Emergency department offers is our InQuickER option for patients experiencing non-life-threatening emergencies. It allows patients to request an ER appointment online and wait in the comfort of their home until it’s time to head to the facility for their projected treatment time slot.
