Better Pulmonary Health is Possible
Although breathing is our life force, it’s something we don’t really think about. Our bodies just do it without a second thought. But if you’ve ever struggled to breathe, you know what a scary, and life-threatening, experience it can be.
At AdventHealth Heart of Florida, formerly Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center, we understand what you’re feeling. We’re here to provide you with expert, compassionate pulmonary and respiratory care in Davenport and Lakeland — the very heart of Central Florida. From diagnosis to treatment, we’re here to help you breathe easier with a full range of pulmonary care near you.
We’re here to help you find the right physician or a location that’s convenient for you.

Did you know that early detection of lung cancer can make treatment more effective?
A simple, low-dose CT scan is the recommended yearly screening for early detection. Lung cancer screenings are available at AdventHealth Heart of Florida.
If you are between the ages of 50 and 80 and have a history of smoking, or have quit smoking within the last 15 years, you may be eligible for lung cancer screening. Contact your primary care provider or our Lung Screening Nurse Navigator to find out more about this lifesaving screening.
