Dr. John Marquardt is an orthopedic surgeon at the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital in Tampa. He spoke with Health News Florida from his beach house that's been gutted since Hurricane Helene.

While conditions have improved after the storm hit in September, some veterans remain without electricity and cut off by damaged roads.

The three hurricanes that affected the west Florida region this year created an especially inviting environment for Aedes aegypti.

The hospital system's report to the SEC estimates the cost of damage at facilities due to hurricanes Helene and Milton in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.

National VA officials are commending staff in the Bay area for keeping patients safe during the storms. Now the focus is on rescheduling the thousands of appointments that had to be cancelled.

A woman ended up stranded in the hospital because CVS stopped providing the IV nutrition she needs to survive at home. Without it, she’d starve.
