EXPANSION 

Sebastian River Medical Center’s 

55,000 Square Foot Expansion! 

Setting the Standard for Hospital Care, Sebastian River Medical Center’s 

Expansion is underway. On Wednesday, July 8, I attended their ground breaking ceremony, 

but one of their three phases has already been completed. The expansion will 

allow SRMC to better meet the healthcare needs of the community all while creating 

new job opportunities. 

In March 2009 their phase one was completed by opening 14 new private patient 

rooms. Amongst many amenities, the rooms boast private restroom access, flat screen 

televisions, soothing interior design and comfortable sleeping quarters for a friend or 

family member. Many SRMC patients have already enjoyed the luxurious features of 

these rooms. “I was thrilled with the room and overall experience,” says Julie Hull. 

“Having a comfortable place for me and a family member to stay while I was recovering 

from surgery was such a godsend we completely forgot we were in a hospital!” 

Phase Two of the project extends all the way to the parking lot. In preparation 

of their facility’s expansion, they will add 350 spaces to their existing parking area. 

These additional spaces will offer patients, visitors and staff improved accessibility to 

the expanded facility. 

Then in Phase Three will be the 55,000 square-foot facility expansion. Patient 

occupancy is expected to become reality in 2011. The new facility will have three levels: 

The first floor will house a 16-bed intensive care unit, while the second and third 

floors will feature a total of 42 private patient suites. The new building will connect 

to their existing facility, so patients, visitors and medical staff will be able to easily 

move between departments. 

Presently, Sebastian River Medical Center is licensed for 129 beds, but the expansion 

project will increase that number to 166 beds, 56 of 

which will be in private patient rooms. They are pleased 

that they will soon be able to offer more patients the opportunity 

to recover in a whole new setting. 

You can watch for expansion updates and other facility 

news by going to their website www.sebastianrivermedical.com

4 Fats you need to know 

When you hear the word cholesterol, a lot of different ideas may pop into your 

head. Some people love to obsess about their total cholesterol number, while 

others take comfort in having a healthy good cholesterol score. The reality is that 

most doctors today consider 4 numbers when monitoring cholesterol. 

The four key blood lipid numbers are: 

1. Total cholesterol 

2. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) 

3. High-densoty liprprotein (HDL) 

4. Triglycerides (Trigs) 

As you may know, cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance found in your blood, and in some of 

the foods you eat. Cholesterol itself is not bad: Your body needs cholesterol to create cell 

membranes and hormones, and to protect nerves. Too much cholesterol, however, is a major 

risk factor for heart disease. 

Your total cholesterol levels include three components: LDL, HDL, and Trigs. 

LDL: This is the so-called bad cholesterol. (Remember that "L" stands for "low," and you 

want this lipid level to be a low numbers.) LDL shuttles cholesterol through the bloodstream 

from the liver to the rest of the cells in the body. 

HDL: This is the good cholesterol. (The "H" stands for "high." The higher this lipid number, 

generally speaking, the better your heart health.) HDL drives unused cholesterol from 

the cells back to the liver, where it's excreted. Any "leftovers" that the HDLs can't handle 

stay in the body and start collecting in the blood vessels. So, the higher your HDL level is, 

the more excess cholesterol will get disposed of by the liver — leaving less cholesterol to 

wreak havoc in your body.

NEW VISION EYE CENTER 

MINOTTY’S “NEW VISION” 

Means NEW LOCATION 

Dr. Paul V. Minotty, (just the name alone holds fond memories for over 

40,000 patients who he has had the pleasure of helping though his 23 

years of practicing in Vero Beach) was energized and enthusiastic when I 

spoke to him about his new office at the Kurtell Medical Center, 777 

37th St., Suite D103, here in Vero Beach. 

“NEW VISION EYE CENTER” means renewed vision towards customized, 

personalized eye care for every one of his patients. “The benefits of new 

technology, treatments and better results, now means a doctor can spend 

more time with their patients, on a one to one basis, getting to know them 

on a more personal level,” Minotty said. That is exactly the mission of 

“NEW VISION EYE CENTER.” With this new technology and treatments, 

the doctor wants to be assured that the direction they take is the one that 

best fits the patient. Each patient has different needs and lifestyles; therefore, 

by spending quality time with them the doctor can customize the treatment 

that best fits into their lives. 

Dr. Minotty said he is proud to have former associates Dr. David J. O’Brien, 

Dr. Roger J. Meyer and Dr. James E. Copeland, Jr. join him at “NEW 

VISION EYE CENTER”. State-Of-The-Art new equipment can be found 

in each examination room and as I toured the offices, you could feel the 

positive energy and excitement from everyone. 

Drs. Minotty, Meyer, O’Brien and Copeland will continue to focus on 

Custom Cataract Surgery, Glaucoma Treatment, General Ophthalmic Care, 

Macular Degeneration Treatment, Diabetic Eye Care, Laser Vision Correction, 

Aesthetics and Eyelid Surgery. Minotty will continue to recruit more physicians 

with his philosophy of building lasting strong patient relationships. That 

will go a long way in helping their patients. 

It’s a new day and as Dr. Minotty told me, “it is a luxury, a privilege to take 

care of my patients. The older I get the more I appreciate my 

work and all the out-pouring of friendship.” 

A legend in eye care, you can find Dr. Minotty, Dr. O’Brien,

WEIGHT LOSS CARE 

SEBASTIAN RIVER MEDICAL CENTER 

INTRODUCES THEIR COMPREHENSIVE 

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM 

State-of-the-Art Care in Indian River County 

Obesity has become one of America’s most serious health problems. In fact, 

it’s estimated by the Florida Department of Health that 57 percent of Floridians are 

either overweight or obese. 

Obesity affects more than just aesthetics. Studies have shown that excess weight 

significantly increases the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes. 

The solution seems simple enough, lose the excess weight and enjoy better 

health and an improved quality of life. But, as we all know, losing weight is anything 

but easy. 

Bariatric (weight loss) surgery may be the answer for those who are struggling 

to lose excessive weight. And while gastric bypass is the most widely known 

bariatric surgery, newer techniques – such as laparoscopic band (lap band) and 

laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy (lap sleeve) – are yielding successful results 

with fewer short and long term risks. 

The Sebastian River Medical Center Comprehensive Weight Management 

Program is the first program in Indian River County to offer both the lap band and 

lap sleeve procedures. “We are very excited to offer both of these minimally invasive 

procedures to surgical weight loss patients in Indian River County. As well as 

surrounding areas,” say SRMC Medical Director of Bariatric Surgery Patrick 

Domkowski, MD. 

The health benefits associated with bariatric surgery are exponential and 

include not only an improvement of self esteem, but a dramatic improvement in 

overall health – which is the true benefit. According to Dr. Domkowski, “70 to 80 

percent of all surgical weight loss patients will experience a complete recovery from 

diabetes and/or high blood pressure all within the first month proceeding surgery”. 

If you are prepared for both the physical and mental journeys of weight loss 

surgery, contact Sebastian River Medical Centers Comprehensive Weight 

Management Program at 772.388.4100. Their team can show you how to achieve 

healthy, long-term weight loss. 

ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR 

WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY? 

Dr. Patrick Domkowski can help you achieve 

healthy, long-term weight loss. 

If you are interested in undergoing a surgical weight loss procedure, 

you must meet the following criteria, which has been established by the 

National Institutes of Health. 

Have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or greater – about 100 pounds 

over ideal body weight for men or 80 pounds over ideal body weight for 

women; or a BMI of at least 35 and one or more serious health conditions, 

such as heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes or severe sleep apnea that would 

improve with weight loss. 

…Have been overweight for more than five years 

…Have tried and failed to lose weight by non-surgical means, such as 

diets and exercise. 

…Must understand and be committed for the lifestyle changes and 

follow up necessary to succeed.

NURSE ON CALL 

Caring for you with Dignity and Respect 

The benefits of home care go far 

beyond keeping someone in their comfort 

zone it makes it possible for care recipients 

to remain at home in a safe environment 

and in some cases have more independence 

than they did before. You can 

rest assure that their nurses, aides and 

other caregivers are experienced and 

compassionate and their care teams work 

closely with physicians to design individualized 

treatment plans that are tailored 

to meet the precise needs of each patient. 

Recognizing that as important as technical 

skills are to home healthcare, Nurse 

On Call is also aware of the need for 

empathy and kindness to fulfill their mission 

to comfort their patients. The staff 

is composed of professionals who have 

demonstrated the sincere desire to help 

people, even in the most adverse conditions. 

Dignity and respect are the foundations 

of home healthcare and they are the 

guiding values of Nurse on Call and their 

respective caregivers. 

Nurse On Call believes in the highest 

standards and scope of training and certifications. 

A professional staff of RN’s, 

LPN’s, CNA’s, Physical, Occupational 

and Speech therapists work cohesively as 

a team, round the clock, 24/7; 365 days a 

year, with only your individual needs and 

requirements in mind. 

As a Medicare certified agency, Nurse 

On Call has been providing home 

healthcare services since 1989. They 

take pride in their strong reputation for 

furnishing high quality skilled nursing, 

rehabilitation and related services that 

the patients, their families and physicians 

expect and deserve. All services are cov-

3755 7th Terrace • Suite 301 – 304 • Vero Beach 

ered 100% by Medicare. Consults are 

always available for free as so many people 

having surgery, a recent trip to the ER 

or even finding confusion over a new 

medication regime do not realize that 

Medicare covers services in the privacy of 

their own home. Just ask your doctor to 

ask for Nurse On Call! 

Meet cousins, Jennifer Shaw and Stacy 

Ingram, born and raised in West Virginia. 

Moving to Florida 10 years ago, they pursued 

and received their RN degrees and 

started their nursing careers with IRMH 

in Oncology Medical and Diabetes 

Medical. Stacy brought Jennifer to 

Nurse on Call , knowing that “NOC has 

a family atmosphere where they want 

everyone to succeed!” not a corporate 

driven agency, but one that concentrates 

on the best practice and results for each 

patient plan of care. 

Both loved their time at the hospital 

but said “we wanted to be more involved 

in patient care”. They get excited to be a 

continuing part of the progress and difference 

you can make in their patient’s lives 

as opposed to a shift or short stay at the 

hospital and always wondering how that 

special patient that touched them was 

doing after their release. 

Now they are happy to bring that compassion 

to Nurse On Call.

Indian River Medical Society... and You! 

Have you ever wondered what functions 

a local, community Medical Society 

performs? Well I did, so I spoke to their 

new Executive Director Shelley Stuven, 

checked out their website and found that 

they offer a vital link between residents, 

visitors and local health care. 

The Indian River County Medical 

Society is a private non-profit professional 

association comprised entirely of physicians 

(MDs and DOs). The society was 

founded by eight physicians in 1947 and 

today have over 150 members. Its serves 

Indian River County as the county component 

of the Florida Medical Association 

and the American Medical Association, 

but is administratively and financially 

independent. 

Their goal is to aid Indian River 

County residents and visitors by providing 

information to meet your health care 

needs. Their members value the patient 

/physician relationship and appreciate the 

positive role that relationships play in 

health care. “PATIENT CARE IS THEIR 

HIGHEST PRIORITY” 

The Indian River County Medical 

Society will provide background information 

on all their members. If you are new 

in the area and seeking a physician, they 

will gladly provide you with names and 

background information of physicians 

who meet your specialty requirements. 

Providing physician referral services to 

residents and visitors to Indian River 

County is just but one of their services. 

They partner with various organizations 

and agencies to develop and 

administer programs designed to 

heighten awareness about health care 

and to improve the quality of care 

available in our community. They were 

instrumental in launching the Indian 

River County School District’s Vision 

Screening Program. 

Another community element that 

many of their members participate in is 

the “WE CARE” program. 

”We Care”, is a cooperative 

venture of Indian 

River County Medical 

Society, the Indian River 

County Health Department 

and the Indian River 

County Hospital Taxing District, provides 

free medical treatment to county residents 

who might not otherwise receive specialty 

medical care.

Royal Palm Introduces Cutting Edge Technology... 

“IT’S NEVER 2 LATE” 

Residents of Royal Palm Healthcare and 

Rehabilitation Center are now benefiting from 

today’s technology without the intimidation of 

the fear of the “computer age”. In the process 

of expanding their rehabilitation department 

Royal Palm chose to provide cutting-edge 

opportunities for lifelong learning and innovative 

programs for rehabilitative therapy. “It’s 

Never 2 Late” is used by speech therapists, 

occupational therapists and physical therapists. 

All have benefited from incorporating “It’s 

Never 2 Late” programs into reimbursable therapeutic 

exercise and finding creative applications 

for traditional therapy interventions. 

“It’s Never 2 Late” is useful in working with 

patients on improving motor control, especially 

in the upper extremity, improving weakness, 

mobility and dexterity in the hands, (choosing 

to use the touch screen or different styles of a 

mouse and keyboard), balance, problem solving 

and daily living activities assisting the 

occupational therapist…. for the Physical 

Therapist interventions include standing-balance, 

coordination, proprioception (neuromuscular 

re-education) and range of motion which

ORTHOPAEDICS 

ORTHOPAEDIC CENTER OF 

VERO BEACH 

Marcus J. Malone, MD, David W. Griffin, MD and Richard Steinfeld, MD. 

Orthopaedic Update: Treatment with Total 

Knee Replacement 

David W. Griffin, MD, FAAOS. AAHKS, FACS 

Dr. Griffin is a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and 

Board Certified by the American Board ofOrthopaedic Surgery. 

Continuing to improve pain relief for post op care following total knee replacement is 

an ongoing goal of orthopaedic surgeons. A combination of techniques utilizing spinal 

anesthetic and femoral nerve block is very safe. The spinal anesthetic allows the patient 

to breathe on their own and avoids nausea and vomiting post op. With the addition of 

the femoral nerve block this gives excellent relief of pain. Patients now use compression 

cold/heat therapy which can be very beneficial for quicker recovery with less pain. 

Patient Specific Knees and Gender Specific Knees are new advancements in 

joint replacement technology. Patient Specific Knees are generated from MRI and 

x-rays to produce exact knee models. These models are used to create patient specific 

cutting blocks that the surgeon uses in the operating room. If proper alignment is 

achieved, a prosthesis may last 25 years. Gender Specific Knees are total knee 

replacement components designed for the male and female anatomy. This allows 

better fit and alignment of components. 

Hip Resurfacing: An Alternative to Hip 

Replacement 

Richard Steinfeld, MD, FAAOS 

Richard Steinfeld, MD is a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic 

Surgeons and is Board Certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. 

His orthopaedic practice includes sports injuries, hip, knee, and shoulder reconstruction, 

general orthopaedics including foot, ankle, hand surgery, and fracture 

care. Dr. Steinfeld also specializes in advanced and leading technologies such as 

Hip Resurfacing. Resurfacing of the hip joint is a bone preserving approach that 

offers younger, active patients the ability to live pain-free and engage in most 

activities. The worn surfaces of the hip are resurfaced with a smooth metal cap 

and socket without violating the bone normally removed with a hip replacement. 

From an activity standpoint, hip resurfacing allows most patients to return to more 

active lifestyles including impact activities such as tennis, running, skiing, etc.

HEARING 

by Cindy Bryant 

Family Owned and Operated Audibel Hearing 

in Five Locations to Serve Everyone!!! 

Okeechobee office: 

J.C. Cardwell, HIS 

Kim Harris-Smith and Bill Smith have a 

passion to make sure you can HEAR 

BETTER. The passion comes from their 

individual loss experiences. Kim has suffered 

from a genetic hearing loss and Bill from 

Tinnitus. As Kim explains, “Since I have a 

hearing loss, I feel as though I can offer patients 

a clear grasp of what they can realistically 

expect when being fitted with hearing aids. 

Also, I can totally relate to the frustrations 

clients are feeling and I know how important 

it is for us to match the performance of hearing 

instruments to a person’s specific hearing needs.” 

Their professionally experienced team 

are available 24 HOURS A DAY AND 

Sebastian office: 

Chris Partlow HIS 

SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, to provide immediate 

care for patients who experience any 

problems with their hearing instruments. In- 

Home services are also offered for patients 

who are unable to drive to any of their 5 

Audibel offices. Bill and Kim own Audibel 

offices located in Sebastian, Vero Beach, Fort 

Pierce, Port St. Lucie and Okeechobee and 

are proud that they have the most technologically 

advanced instruments in the industry. 

“All of our equipment is state-of-the-art and 

we conduct in-depth examinations, fittings 

and our after-care program is of the utmost 

importance,” Bill tells me. With over 100 years 

of combined experience there is no one else 

to compare with the professionals at Audibel to 

help you HEAR BETTER! They are licensed 

by the Division of Medical Quality Assurance 

and Bill is Nationally Board Certified. 

Recent technological improvements have 

revolutionized hearing devices. Now, through 

computer assistance, hearing devices can be 

programmed with data that is stored in a 

memory chip. “We are able to use our computer 

to calibrate information in the hearing device 

to fit specific situations, for example, we can 

simulate a patient in a home situation. We 

Vero Beach office: left to right, Pat Miller, Office Manager, Priscilla Perry Controller, 

Jennifer Smith Cardwell, HIS and Kim Harris Smith HIS, owner 

have sound from the television going, dogs 

barking, dishwasher operating and dishes 

rattling and we can regulate the sound information 

in the hearing device’s memory chip 

to allow the correct adjustments for 

BETTER COMFORTABLE HEARING.” 

Bill explains. 

Fort Pierce office: 

Bill Smith BC-HIS, owner 

The new exciting technology includes the 

size, they are so small in the some cases they 

are almost undetectable. 

The Audibel hearing instruments average 

life span is seven to 10 years unlike the traditional 

industry average of three to five years. 

Kim and Bill credit Audibel’s free after-care 

program with providing the proper maintenance 

that prolongs the life of the device.

FITNESS 

CITYFIT Outdoor Fitness 

Camp introduces 

Party in 

the Park 

1st Fridays at Riverside Park 

The Zumba Party – Education 

Foundation Fundraiser was developed by 

Jill Price owner of CityFit Outdoor Fitness 

Camp. Price gathered her friends to offer 

a monthly fundraiser that combines 

health and wellness with the Zumba beat. 

Zumba fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms 

and easy to follow moves to create a 

dynamic fitness program. The fitness 

workout features salsa, merengue, 

cumbia, raggaeton rhythms and more. 

The CityFit ZUMBA Parties are 

held every 1st Friday at Riverside Park in 

Vero from 6-7:30 p.m. In parts of South 

America hundreds come out to ZUMBA 

events held at local community parks. 

“We hope to do the same,” Price says, 

owner of CityFit. “You can’t believe the 

fun and positive energy that evolves from 

doing ZUMBA fitness dancing with hundreds 

of people from all over the community. 

There is nothing like it.” 

As always, Price believes in giving 

back to the community which is allowing 

her to fulfill her dreams so CityFit is 

donating a percentage of all proceeds to 

The Education Foundation of IRC, Inc. 

“They deserve the money we’ll raise. All 

the ZUMBA Party in the Park instructors 

are working in the schools conducting 

ZUMBA classes on-site for the district 

employees so they feel a certain affinity 

toward the School District which has 

provided this unique opportunity. 

“CityFit wants to thank the Education 

Foundation for being such a huge supporter 

of the students and teachers who 

are working so hard,” states Price. 

The cost to get in is $7 per individual, 

$12 couple or $25 for a group of 5. The 

more the merrier! ZUMBA is for all ages, 

all fitness levels and men, women and children 

alike! Please come out and support 

your own health and give a little to The 

Education Foundation while you’re at it! 

Please contact Jill Price at (772) 713-

PULSE POINTS 

The Heart Center at Indian River Medical Center 

Ranked As One of The Top Heart Centers in 

America by Society Of Thoracic Surgeons 

The nation’s leading cardiothoracic 

surgery organization—the Society of 

Thoracic Surgeons (STS)—has awarded 

its highest quality achievement rating to 

The Heart Center at Indian River 

Medical Center, recognizing it as one of 

the top heart centers in the United States. 

More than 900 hospitals, including 

America’s leading academic medical centers 

and most respected cardiac hospitals, 

voluntarily submit their cardiac surgery 

outcomes for analysis. For 2008, The 

Heart Center ranked among only 15 percent 

of programs nationwide to receive 

STS’s highest rating of “Three-Stars.” 

“This validates our heart surgery 

program as one of the best in the United 

States,” said Jeffrey L. Susi, IRMC 

The Behavioral Health Center at 

Indian River Medical Center hosted its 

first Baker Act in-service training session 

president and CEO. “It is testimony to 

the skill and leadership of cardiovascular 

and thoracic surgeons Drs. Cary Stowe 

and Mark Malias, the expertise of 

cardiac anesthesiologists Drs. John 

Lindenthal and Geoffrey Wolf, and to 

the entire Heart Center team’s passion 

for and commitment to providing top 

quality patient care. 

The STS database, which includes 

more than 3.5 million patient records, 

measures the performance of coronary 

artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in 

four areas: surgical quality, appropriate 

medication, complications and death 

rates, based on a combination of 11 

processes and outcome measures endorsed 

by the National Quality Forum. 

BHC Hosts Popular Seminar on Baker Act 

Mariamma Pyngolil, 

MSN, R.N. 

for professionals working with seniors 

in assisted living facilities and nursing 

homes. 

Mariamma Pyngolil, MSN, R.N., 

Patient Care director at BHC, presented 

with the assistance of adult mental health 

specialist Carol Eldeen-Todesco. The inservice 

was attended by 49 individuals 

representing area nursing homes, home 

care agencies, assisted living facilities, 

VNA Hospice, Indian River County 

Elder Affairs, Indian River County 

Veteran's Council, IRCSO Victim 

Assistance Program, Sun Up, Senior 

Resource Center, and others working 

with the senior population. 

The intent of the program was to provide 

information and education to those 

individuals who may be working with a 

resident or client who is Baker-Acted. 

The Baker Act allows for involuntary 

examination of an individual and can be 

initiated by judges, law enforcement 

officials, or mental health professionals. 

There must be evidence that the person 

has a mental illness (as defined in the 

Baker Act) and is a harm to self, harm to 

others, or self neglectful. IRMC is the 

only Baker Act receiving facility in 

Indian River County. 

The Florida law is very specific on the 

rights of the patient as well as the procedures 

that must be followed with a resident 

in a nursing home or assisted living 

facility. 

“The participants reported that they 

gained a lot of knowledge and insight on 

the Baker Act. It was a total success!” said 

Dawn Redstone, community educator, 

BHC. 

At the conclusion of the presentation, 

the participants indicated that they are 

very interested in attending other such 

presentations and working towards networking 

opportunities, Dawn said. BHC 

will be setting up subsequent educational 

offerings on a quarterly basis. 

Audibel’s New Anthem 

Audibel Hearing Care Centers 

announce the availability of Audibel’s 

brand new Anthem family of hearing 

instruments featuring the multitasking 

power of a minicomputer concentrated 

in each hearing instrument. 

“This next generation of hearing 

instruments is three times more powerful 

and accurate than ever before. They truly 

provide superior feedback elimination and 

simultaneously increase user understanding 

of conversations,” said William F. 

Smith, owner of the five Audibel Hearing 

Care Center offices in the Treasure Coast 

and Okeechobee areas. 

“I think my new hearing aids are the 

best thing I’ve ever had,” said Jean Sirianni 

of Vero Beach. “It’s terrific. Everything is 

so clear. I have no trouble with voices, 

noise, or the telephone. I’ve told a couple 

of my friends about them. I like the hearing 

aids so much because the sounds are 

crystal clear.”

Royal Palm continued from page 17 

includes The Virtual Cycle where residents can “cycle”-through the computers on-screen forests, 

mountainous paths or lakeside trails.…and the speech therapist can use it to work on the issues 

such as cognition aphasia (digital photographs can display family members, friends or pets, making 

it more meaningful to the individual) and safety issues. 

The professional Rehabilitative staff customizes “It’s Never 2 Late” to each resident and the 

system is mobile so if a resident does not wish to leave their room, “It’s Never 2 Late” can be 

brought to them. 

The system is so universal, residents can send and receive e-mail and video mail, they can play 

games, work puzzles, virtually travel to numerous countries, for history enthusiasts it contains history 

from the 15th century to today. It is basically a WINDOW TO THE WORLD for those who 

are not able to do the things today that at one time they enjoyed. 

Stop by and see first hand 1 of the 170 units nationwide at Royal Palm Skilled Nursing & 

Rehabilitation Center, “Reaching Everyone Through Technology” 2180 10th Avenue in Vero
