The Orlando Health – Health Central Hospital and the Orlando Health Horizon West Hospital have partnered with the Winter Garden Little League to help enhance baseball games for the community.  

Through a new sponsorship, three digital scoreboards have been installed on the fields. The new scoreboards were installed over the summer, just in time for the fall season.

“We love finding new ways to support the Winter Garden community, and being involved with youth sports is a meaningful way to do that,” Philip Koovakada, Orlando Health senior vice president and Orlando Health – Health Central Hospital president, said. “The Winter Garden Little League plays an important role in providing healthy activities for local kids and bringing neighbors together.” 

Mark Kirkland, vice president of the WGLL, said the organization's board members have a mission to provide a memorable experience playing the game of baseball for more than 600 young athletes and families.

“Thanks to our partnership with Orlando Health and the city of Winter Garden, we’ve provided three new scoreboards for teams, families and fans to easily keep track of the games," he said. "The scoreboards are a home run for all involved and key part of the recent field upgrades, marking a new era for our Winter Garden Little League community.”
