    Florida Hospital Heartland Medical Center Stories

    Florida Hospital Heartland Medical Center: "I was taken to Advent Health on February 8th, 2022 by ambulance for another hip displacement after two hip surgeries and now a total of four hip displacements. I laid in a bed crying in so much pain and then four women basically threatened me. Up in my face with the fingers. I demanded a wheelchair and left with just an open hospital gown in the cold rain. When my daughter pulled up, she finds her mother outside naked. When she was trying to load me in her car, the four security hacks followed me to make sure they got their wheelchair. Like I wanted their pathetic wheelchair. Advent Health has ruined what was once a great hospital. Both my previous surgery aftercare service was pathetic. I will never darken those doors again. I can count the competent nursing staff on one hand and I hope they make a move to leave that disgusting place." - Cynthia
