Quick Medical Response Success
At Orlando Health’s Osceola ER, a 58‑year‑old man named César Díaz Lira arrived with severe chest pain. Doctors identified a ST‑elevated myocardial infarction, stabilized him, and an Air Care helicopter transported him to the main hospital. Within 90 minutes, angioplasty restored blood flow faster than industry norms. Díaz Lira thanked the team personally during a follow‑up visit, noting the hospital treated him like family.
