AdventHealth, Pampers celebrates babies born on America's most common birthday. Posted: Sep 11, 2026 / 06:38 AM EDT Updated: Sep 11, 2026 / 06:38 AM EDT TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) - New parents who welcomed their child on what researchers say is America's most common birthday received an unexpected gift. The new parents at AdventHealth Tampa and AdventHealth Wesley Chapel, through a partnership with Pampers, received vouchers for a three-month supply of diapers and newborn photos, according to AdventHealth. "At AdventHealth, we believe caring for a family begins even before a baby arrives. Welcoming a new child is one of life's most meaningful moments, and we're honored to celebrate these growing families with a thoughtful gift that brings joy, preserves precious memories and supports parents during those first days together. Through this partnership with Pampers, we're extending our commitment to caring for the whole family - body, mind and spirit - from the very beginning," Dr. Michael Cacciatore, chief clinical officer of AdventHealth, said. These parents welcomed their little ones on September 9, which is the day researchers say is the most common birthday. According to AdventHealth, the celebration included participating AdventHealth hospitals in the Orlando area and is expected to benefit more than 50 families across Florida. "We believe every baby deserves our best. The first time parents meet their baby is life-changing, so we wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate this moment," states Sydney Gagne, Senior Brand Director, Pampers. "It's been so rewarding to celebrate growing families and continue our commitment to giving every baby the best possible start." The initiative was designed to support families during the beginning days of parenthood while celebrating the arrival with keepsake photos and essential supplies.
AdventHealth Redmond launches Ion robotic bronchoscopy platform. By Elizabeth Davis Sep 11, 2026 | 4:37 AM Media release from AdventHealth Redmond: AdventHealth Redmond has launched the Ion robotic bronchoscopy platform, an advanced technology designed to enhance the evaluation and biopsy of pulmonary nodules and improve access to early lung cancer diagnosis for patients across Northwest Georgia. The first Ion procedure was performed on Aug. 26, 2026. The addition of Ion expands AdventHealth Redmond's pulmonary and thoracic oncology services by providing physicians with enhanced stability, precision and reach within the lungs, including access to small and difficult-to-reach peripheral nodules. The launch also coincides with the reopening of the hospital's lung nodule clinic, creating a more comprehensive pathway for identifying, evaluating and diagnosing patients with lung nodules. "Ion represents a significant advancement in our ability to diagnose lung abnormalities earlier and with greater precision," said Dr. Bret Stysly, pulmonologist at AdventHealth Redmond. "By combining advanced robotic technology with our comprehensive lung nodule clinic, we can provide patients with timely evaluations and help guide the next steps in their care closer to home." When a lung nodule is discovered, obtaining an accurate diagnosis quickly is critical in determining the most appropriate treatment plan. Ion robotic bronchoscopy provides physicians with a minimally invasive approach to navigate deep into the lungs and biopsy small nodules that may have previously been difficult to access. The technology can also allow physicians, when clinically appropriate, to perform a biopsy and lymph node staging during the same anesthesia event, helping streamline the diagnostic process and potentially reduce the time between a suspected diagnosis and treatment planning. Historically, some patients with small nodules may have undergone repeated imaging to monitor growth or been referred for alternative biopsy procedures that carry a higher risk of complications. Ion provides an additional option that can support earlier diagnosis and more informed treatment decisions. The combination of the Ion robotic bronchoscopy platform and the reopened lung nodule clinic creates a seamless patient pathway from detection and evaluation to biopsy, diagnosis, treatment and ongoing care. Patients now have access to comprehensive lung cancer services within one connected healthcare system. On air now. Weather. Fri Sep 11 Rome, GA, USA

Physician honored for faith, compassion and whole-person care across rural Appalachia. Published date: September 08, 2026 | Estimated read time: 2 minutes | * Christina Couch For Rajiv Naval Srinivas, MD, medicine has always been about more than treating illness - it is about serving people. That commitment was recently recognized when Dr. Naval received the Christian Service Award at AdventHealth's Mission and Ministry Conference. David Banks, president and CEO of AdventHealth, presented Dr. Naval with the award, which honors exemplary service and dedication to AdventHealth's mission of Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ. A calling to serve Born and raised in Mysuru, India, Dr. Naval was encouraged by his family to pursue medicine as a way to serve others. That calling eventually brought him to rural Appalachia, where he has cared for patients in Clay County, Kentucky, since 2003. Today, Dr. Naval cares for patients through AdventHealth Primary Care Clinic in Manchester and AdventHealth Red Bird Clinic in Beverly. With advanced training in geriatric medicine and infectious diseases, he has spent more than two decades caring for people across generations while developing deep connections within the communities he serves. His approach to medicine reflects AdventHealth's commitment to caring for the whole person - body, mind and spirit. For Dr. Naval, that can mean looking beyond a diagnosis to understand the challenges affecting a patient's health and daily life. That philosophy has been evident throughout his years of service. In a previous AdventHealth story about food insecurity in the Manchester community, Dr. Naval explained how helping patients meet basic needs can make an important difference in their ability to focus on their health. Mission in action The Christian Service Award recognizes more than professional achievement - it celebrates service rooted in compassion, faith and a willingness to care for others. Dr. Naval's career embodies those values. From caring for older adults and patients with complex medical needs to serving communities where access to care can be challenging, he has made his life's work about being present for people when they need care most. His recognition at the Mission and Ministry Conference reflects a tradition at AdventHealth of celebrating individuals whose work brings its faith-based mission to life.
