Men's Health Tune-Up

June is Men's Health Month, so the Foundation is doing our part to keep the men (and women) in our community healthy.  On June 20th, come out to see some classic cars, trucks and bike and then visit the "Tune-Up" tables for lab tests, evaluations, and breakfast.  Everyone is welcome to attend or show your vehicle in this Free event, made possible with support from AdventHealth Polk, The Polk County Community Foundation, and The Hospital Foundation in support of AdventHealth Polk.

Grateful Patient Program

Through our Grateful Patient program, you can express your appreciation by donating to honor your caregiver.


We encourage you to support AdventHealth Polk while recognizing the individual who made the difference in your hospital or outpatient office visit. Your caregiver(s) will receive a certificate, acknowledgment letter, and a lapel pin announcing the donation made in their honor.


You can recognize any staff member for this special award. For example, the housekeeper who brought a smile to your face, the lab tech who made you comfortable, the nurse who went the extra mile, the doctor who took extra time to explain your treatment, or any other staff member that made a difference.
