April 13, 2026 – In recognition of National Volunteer Month, colleagues from HCA Florida Healthcare’s East Florida Division came together in Pompano Beach as part of the organization’s We Show Up® for Our Communities Week, removing 150 pounds of trash from the local shoreline ahead of Earth Day.
Each year, HCA Florida Healthcare hosts We Show Up® for Our Communities Week to enhance the communities where colleagues live and work. The initiative brings teams together to address high-priority local needs and support the organization’s mission of creating healthier tomorrows.
“Whether providing care in our facilities or giving back in our neighborhoods, our colleagues are driven by a common mission: to care for and improve human life,” said Lisa Fregoso, HCA Healthcare East Florida Division Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Affairs. “National Volunteer Month is a meaningful reminder of the impact we can have when we come together.”
The Pompano Beach cleanup reflects HCA Florida Healthcare’s ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement—helping preserve natural resources while fostering a culture of service among its colleagues.
