Top Health Concern’s for Orlando Children
Living in Orlando, so close to world class attractions like Disney, SeaWorld and Universal Studios, can be a dream-come-true for many children. But living in the Orlando area also comes with some health issues that can be concerns for parents and pediatricians alike. Insight spoke with Dr. Lisa Ramey, of Integrative Pediatrics in Oviedo, about the area’s top health concerns for our kids:
THE IMPORTANCE OF CPR
Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States. Each year, almost 330,000 Americans die from heart disease. Many of these deaths occur outside of the hospital with an estimated 75% of all cardiac arrests occurring in people’s homes. Learning Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) can help save the lives of your loved ones because effective CPR doubles a person’s chance of survival from sudden cardiac arrest.
SOMETHING IN THE AIR
Allergy is characterized by an overreaction of the human immune system to a foreign protein substance that is eaten, breathed into the lungs, injected or touched. This immune overreaction is more prevalent in Orlando according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), which ranked Orlando as the fifth out of 100 cities to be the most challenging place to live with fall allergies.

NEMOURS CALLS LAKE NONA HOME
After a few appeals, several attempts of submitting a Certificate of Need (CON), and much publicity, Nemours, one of the nation’s largest pediatric health systems, finally received approval to build an integrated pediatric health care system that will be anchored by the Nemours Children’s Hospital Orlando. The Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) approved Nemours’ CON application in June 2007, which provided the opportunity for Nemours to purchase a 118-acre parcel of land in the Lake Nona area off of Boggy Creek Road. Nemours selected this particular site because it provides the appropriate size, space and location for the non-profit enterprise’s mission while allowing the organizational control necessary to fulfill obligations outlined in the state of Florida’s CON application.
