Boca Raton, FL – The YMCA of South Palm Beach County is proud to announce it has been awarded a $30,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Palm Beach and Martin Counties to continue offering Summer Camp programs for Caridad Center youth. For 20 years, the Y has been the sole provider of free summer programming for at-risk children and teens referred by the Caridad Center, ensuring access to enriching summer experiences at no cost.
Serving children ages 5-11 and teens ages 12-15 who reside in Palm Beach County, all participants are referred by the Caridad Center, which verifies eligibility. The majority of participants come from migrant and working-poor families, with incomes at or below the poverty level.
“Since 2005, this program has been a critical resource for families facing economic and social challenges,” said Barry Davis, Executive Director at the DeVos-Blum Family YMCA. “This grant ensures that children who need it most can enjoy a safe, enriching summer camp experience that fosters learning, friendship, and fun.”

The Caridad Kids Summer Camp alleviates this burden by providing a safe and supportive environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive during the summer months.
Thanks to this generous grant from the Community Foundation of Palm Beach and Martin Counties, the Y will continue to make a meaningful impact in the lives of local youth and their families. For more information about the YMCA’s Summer Camp programs, visit: www.ymcaspbc.org/summercamp

Lauren’s Kids Announces 1,500Mile Walk and Comprehensive April Campaign to Prevent Child Abuse
Boca Raton, FL – In honor of April’s designation as National Sexual Assault Awareness Month and National Child Abuse Prevention Month,Lauren’s Kids, a South Florida-based nonprofit, is launching local, statewide, and nationwide initiatives to raise awareness, educate communities on prevention, and empower survivors of child sexual abuse. Efforts include a1,500mile walk — with support from major Florida sports teams, a national partnership with the YMCA, legislative advocacy, and a friendship bracelet program providing support for survivors.
Lauren’s Kids will be taking their resources on the road to visit communities across Florida for its 10th “Walk in My Shoes” event. Starting on April 1, Lauren’s Kids Founder and CEO Senator Lauren Book will lead a 1,500-mile trek across the state from the Southernmost Point of the United States in Key West to the Florida Capitol in Tallahassee. Along the way, the nonprofit will partner with Florida’s sexual assault treatment centers, children’s advocacy centers, child protection units, Bikers Against Child Abuse, local schools, professional sports organizations – including the Miami HEATand the Florida Panthers, elected officials, and more to unite communities, increase awareness of prevention efforts, and help survivors heal.
“The greatest risk factor for abuse is simply being a child — and as we lace up our sneakers to walk across the state, we are reminded that this fight is far from over,” says Senator Book, one of the 42 million survivors of child sexual abuse living in the U.S. today. “Our April advocacy is about more than just raising awareness — it’s about action, education, and empowering communities to protect our most vulnerable. Together, we can build a safer, stronger future for every child.”
Lauren’s Kids encourages the public to get involved through several oppor-
tunities, including:
Participating in the YMCA’s “Know. See. Respond.” Five Days of Action Campaign
To reach communities nationwide, Lauren’s Kids is partnering with the YMCA for the YMCA 2025 Five Days of Action “Know. See. Respond.” campaign. Local YMCA organizations across the country will use Lauren’s Kids “Safer, Smarter Families” toolkit to help children and families prevent child abuse through education.
Participating in the Lauren’s Kids Friendship Bracelet Program
In celebration of the milestone year, Lauren’s Kids launched a Friendship Bracelet Program to bring hope, healing, and support to survivors of child sexual abuse and sexual assault. Lauren’s Kids has provided centers across the state with bracelet-making kits so survivors can make bracelets featuring words of encouragement for other survivors, like ‘Brave,’ ‘Strong,’ and ‘Hope.’ The bracelets they make will be exchanged with other centers to help foster community and belonging. The public is invited to join in this effort by making bracelets and sending them to Lauren’s Kids: 4000 Hollywood Boulevard, Suite 677S, Hollywood, FL 33021.
Raise awareness of and support legislation to protect children in Florida Lauren’s Kids is supporting legislation to increase protections for children across the state and strengthen penalties for child abusers. During the 2025 Legislative Session, Lauren’s Kids is supporting the following bills:
• SB 1084/HB 1451 – Sexual Cyberharassment – Enhancing penalties for individuals who share intimate photos and videos without consent, including real shared/stolen and created “deepfake” content.
• SB 1180/ HB 757- Sexual Images –Combatting the creation and distribution of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM).

Timeless Truths Of Life And Work
By: Stephen R. Graves
I am not a soldier. I have never picked up a weapon and stood guard during the night. I have never fought in a great battle, landed in hostile territory, or had a legitimate reason to wear a military uniform. I am also not a gifted athlete. I ride my bicycle some miles every week, but that has rarely caused anyone to confuse me for an Ironman competitor or Olympic medalist. And I have also never harvested a farm crop for money. We have grown a few tomatoes in the backyard but none of my friends call me a farmer.
But if I had lived in the days of the Bible, there is a good chance I would have connected in some way to one of these three vocations – soldier, athlete, or farmer. The farmer and soldier were common “career tracks,” and athletes were just as prominent then as they are today. The apostle Paul used these three vocations to present universal virtues people of faith should strive to achieve in their work. He wrote:
“Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them. And athletes cannot win the prize unless they follow the rules. And hardworking farmers should be the first to enjoy the fruit of their labor” (2 Timothy 2:3-6, NLT).
Paul was saying that each job carried – as remains true today – a dual set of virtues worth pursuing:
The Soldier: Endurance and Focus. Being a soldier during wartime is not fun. It was not when Paul wrote to his protégé Timothy, and today no one would consider it a vacation. War is unforgiving, unpredictable, and uncomfortable. Much is demanded and little is given in return. The soldier must be able to consistently endure hardship without complaint and always remain focused on his task. Once a battle begins, the soldier is in it until his job is done. He cannot take a
break when hungry or tired. There’s no time off. No sick days. He cannot let his mind wander or be distracted by chaos around him.
The Athlete: Discipline and Ambition. Truly great athletes are not just talented. Many players have talent, and plenty of them have squandered it. The difference between great players and ones who waste talent is the great ones combine their talent with inner drive and outer discipline. They are not content with the potential to be great. They want to be great and are willing to work and make sacrifices to get there.
In athletics and in work, success starts with the “want” – what we might call ambition. There are unhealthy, all-consuming, win-at-allcosts versions of ambition, but there is also an admirable type that separates humans. It is not enough to just desire to be better. We must take the steps to get better, to be disciplined. Discipline in any area amounts to a series of significant choices, always making the small right decisions that result in a life or career of right choices.
The Farmer: Hard Work and Patience. There is a simple formula every farmer relies on every year: hard work and patience. A good farmer cannot be impatient; a lazy farmer is a contradiction. In successful farming, hard work and patience are essential.While most occupations in today’s marketplace may not demand hard work and patience in the same degree as farming in the first century, I do not know of any job that does not require some measure of these virtues.
Employers will provide on-the-job skills training for new employees, but working hard is a skill we must bring with us. Because without a solid work ethic, talent, intelligence and creativity are of little value. As for patience, despite advances in technology, there are still many things we cannot speed up. If baking cookies takes 30 minutes, i
takes 30 minutes. Developing professional skills and properly training productive employees also take time. They require both hard work and patience –and no shortcuts.
Which of the three vocations listed can you identify with the closest: soldier, athlete, or farmer? Have you ever participated directly in any of the three? If so, what do you think of the specific traits that are cited?
Would you say that endurance and focus are qualities you often see in the workplace, or are they comparatively rare or even unusual? Explain your answer.
How does discipline fit within the scope of responsibilities you must fulfill each day? Do you think that ambi-
tion is a good quality for a successful worker – or can it be a liability? If you can, give an example.
If someone were to describe you and your working style, would they say that hard work and patience are among your assets? Why or why not?
NOTE: If you have a Bible and would like to read more, consider the following passages: Proverbs 14:23, 16:26; 1 Corinthians 3:9; Ephesians 2:10; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; James 3:14-16
Challenge for This Week
Try to set aside some time this week and reflect on the timeless truths cited that pertain to life and work: endurance, focus, discipline, ambition, hard work, and patience. In which of these areas do you think you are strongest? In which do you think you are the weakest?
If you are in a CBMC group or peer advisory group, it might be useful to talk about this with those individuals. Discuss ways you can support and encourage one another in making positive strides in areas that could be improved. You could do the same with a mentor, close friend or accountability group.

What does Medicare Part B NOT cover during an emergency room visit?
By: Toni King
I have been told that Medicare does not cover drugs when you are in an emergency room. My mother went in the hospital from the ER for 2 days and because it was considered “under observation,” we are now fighting the hospital because they say her drugs were not covered during her stay. She has a Part D plan, but the hospital pharmacy claim is filed out of network. She now has to pay a higher amount because the hospital pharmacy is not in the Part D plan’s “preferred” network.
I am helping my mom file this claim and do not know what to do. Please explain what her options are. Thanks, Toni.
–Clyde from Lake Charles, La.
Hello Clyde,
Medicare Part B (medical insurance) covers medical care that you receive in a hospital outpatient setting like an emergency room, observation unit, outpatient surgery center or pain clinic. Part B covers IV (intravenous infusion) drugs but not prescriptions given orally. Had your mother’s been classified as “inpatient care,” her prescriptions would have been paid for by her Medicare Part A (hospital insurance). Because her ER hospital stay was classified as “under observation,” she will have to pay for the drugs administered unless she is enrolled in a Medicare Prescription Drug Part D plan.
This is why enrolling in a Part D Medicare drug plan is so important, because when you are having a medical issue in the emergency room you may need your self-administered drugs to be covered through your Part D plan. Self-administered drugs are what you would normally take on your own or over the counter type drugs. Part B does not pay for these types of drugs, but a Medicare Part D Prescription Drug plan can.
If you do not have a Medicare Part D drug plan while in a Part B “under observation,” hospital outpatient setting or emergency room, then you will have to pay the drug cost out of your pocket.
During a Toni Says Medicare consultation with Americans who are enrolling in Medicare for the first time, we stress why they need to enroll in a Part D drug plan, even if they do not currently take prescriptions. The Toni Says team also shows them how to enroll in the least expensive Part D plan.
No one knows what the future holds, but Medicare is doing everything to control how the government is spending our Medicare dollars. New Medicare rules are popping up each year to make sure Medicare dollars are being spent wisely.
For readers on Medicare who have missed their Part D enrollment deadline, I would recommend that they enroll in a Part D plan during Medicare’s open enrollment period from Oct.15 to Dec.7 to keep from receiving further Part D penalties.
Clyde, I have good news for how you can help your mother. Here is what to do when you receive a hospital bill for prescriptions not covered by Medicare Part B in a hospital outpatient setting:
— Most hospital pharmacies do not participate in Medicare Part D; you may need to pay upfront and submit the claim to your Medicare Part D drug plan for a refund.
— Follow instructions on how to submit an out-of-network claim.
— You may need to send certain information like emergency room bills that show what self-administered drugs you were given.
— You might need to explain the reason for the hospital visit.
— Keep copies of receipts and paperwork you send to your Part D plan.
Readers, the Medicare.gov website is unique and offers those exploring Medicare (whether turning 65, past 65 and retiring or laid off) options for finding the correct Medicare and Part D plan for your current needs.
She’s Another Marilyn Lookalike Messenger, But This One Calls Me a ‘Man Without Manners’
By: Tom Madden
Here’s my response to the craziness on Messenger ballooning with friend requests, especially from girls on phishing expeditions or fraudsters after money.
I receive a friendly text from this gorgeous gal who resembles one of my favorite movie stars, whose picture is above, and beyond beautiful, the iconic Marilyn Monroe whose captivating image even graces my piano. This friend seeker lives in Santa Monica, California and runs so appropriately from her looks, a beauty salon.
Knowing I’m a writer fond of wordplay, my equally beautiful Brazilian wife allows my engaging occasionally in some repartee with a messenger dying to meet me as long as it doesn’t go too deep, or last too long. So, even though she’s the picture of Marilyn, I’ll end it with a dismissive missive, entwined with a soupcon of wit.
These online proposals to be friends often come from movie star lookalikes who find older gentleman like me “interesting,” still somewhat handsome and perhaps having an even better-looking savings account, trust fund or stock portfolio.
They pop up unannounced out of nowhere on my laptop, a few quite charming and friendly, but looking about a third, sometimes a quarter of my age and they’re somewhere around the age Marilyn was when she was wed to slugger Joe DiMaggio, a marriage lasting just nine months, or were they innings.
My wife says be careful as some suitresses are on phishing expeditions seeking to win not only affection, but trust, enough so they can eventually ask me to help them through some difficult circumstances, with what else? Some fresh minted Moolah!
Still, an exchange with a perfect stranger far away is alluring and fun sometimes, although I hope my wife won’t mind or take it the wrong way, for I’m just a playful wordsmith who’d never send a suitress a red cent, so help me.
Here’s a recent exchange with this
messenger “friend” whose picture resembles one of my favorite movie stars. She presents herself as an attractive young girl named Alesha in Santa Monica, California. It’s 6:35 PM on 2/24/25, and she messages me this:
I think I saw you at a party, but I can’t remember it. My memory is not very good.
Next day, “she” continues:
I think you look very familiar. I’m sure I must have seen you somewhere.
Finally, out of curiosity I couldn’t help just for fun responding to her, him or it:
Perhaps you did see me, Alesha, as I’ve been around the block a few times.
Then again, this month I receive another memorable messenger moment from the same alluring Alesha. She keeps reminding me of Marilyn, plus a touch of Portman and a little Angelina Jolie sprinkled in, with a hint of Vivien Leigh, which almost makes me want say to her: frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.
Perhaps the real mug behind that hauntingly charming Marilynish face is some not-so-nice dude, maybe an Atticus or Escobar. Who knows? Frankly, my dear …
Hello Thomas, how are you?
Then when I don’t immediately respond, I receive another message via messenger, only this one much further from friendly.
Hello, Thomas, aliens have recently attacked the earth. Have you been abducted by aliens?
Then a few days later Alesha pokes me or jabs me once again, this time right in the heart, telling me this: You are a man with no manners!

Fire Mission!
If I do my job right…
By Douglas G Logan
He rolls out of a nylon hammock. Boots on, snub-nosed .38 on his belt, body wrapped in a poncho liner. The 23 year-old Fire Direction Officer (FDO) doing his job. A daily diet of life and death decisions.
A hole in the ground in the middle of nowhere. Lined by sandbags, covered by canvas. He strings his hammock, nightly, between two tent poles. Fitful sleep, a radio handset by each ear, two different nets, squawking all night. A plotting table, some maps, the ephemera of war.
He’s got a guy out there on “the hill”, a Forward Observer (FO), who’s calling for help. His guy. Scared, by the sound of his voice. Knee deep in s**t. FDO to the rescue. He knows he has to be the adult to talk this kid off the ledge. Modulate his voice, exude calm, be in charge. Do his job so the kid can do his job. The kid is the eyes and ears of this killing machine. The FDO is the orchestra conductor.
If he does his job right someone will die.
He thinks about this quite a bit. Very few people on the surface of the earth can lay claim to that mission statement. Back in the ‘real world’, if a cop does his job right, he de-escalates the violence and somebody lives. In the jungle toilet occupied by the FDO, everything escalates. Everything leads to death. The only comparable civilian job is Mafia hit man.
Battery Adjust!
Shell HE!
The conductor begins to select his instruments of death. High Explosive shells instead of White Phosphorous. The dreaded Willy Peter. Gonna blow them up instead of burn them to a crisp. He steadily barks his orders to “Smoke”, his Chief of Firing Battery. The First Sergeant is always “Top”; the Chief of Firing Battery is always “Smoke”. The first adjusting rounds whiz on their way.
If he does his job right someone will die.
When a 105 mm Battery begins to fire at night the local bad guys start their dance. Knowing the cannon-cockers are distracted, they begin probing the perimeter with small arms fire. It’s in the script. The conductor is now conducting two ensembles, two tunes, at the same time. Outgoing and incoming. Heady stuff for a 23 year old. Recently promoted to 1st Lt. He knows. Knows he has to be “the man”. If he makes a mistake, hesitates, screws up, even more will die.
He got back stateside in one piece. He put his guns down and swore he would never touch a firearm again. Once he got back it took him 10 years to get sober and regain a part of his humanity. He watched the Coppola film with a knowing understanding. He had been to the “Heart of Darkness”. He lived in an insane battle space for 13 months. And…
…he did his job right.

Get Involved During Global Volunteer Month This April
(StatePoint) Global Volunteer Month, celebrated in April, is a time to honor volunteers while encouraging volunteering in communities around the world.

The retailer has tapped into member feedback to ensure that this Easter, it can better meet your needs. The findings uncovered that many celebrants are hoping to spend all day grazing, beginning with brunch. And, because Easter is happening well into spring this year, many are also planning to fire up their grills for the occasion.
many people are feeling more isolated. Volunteering fills the gaps to strengthen community and the fabric of our society,” says Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO of Points of Light, the world’s largest organization dedicated to increasing volunteer service.
But as Sirangelo points out, volunteering doesn’t just build healthier and more equitable communities, it’s also good for the individuals who are lending their time and talents. “Engaging in volunteer activities has been identified as an effective way to build confidence, alleviate anxiety and depression, and provide a sense of purpose and connection,” she says.
Here are some ways you can take action this Global Volunteer Month and beyond:
Take the Pledge: Let your community know you are committed to volunteer-
ing and service by taking the Points of Light’s Global Volunteer Month Pledge.

Therapy Dogs Bring Joy to Holocaust Survivors in Boca Raton
Boca Raton, FL – A heartwarming visit from eight therapy dogs brought joy and smiles to a group of 40 Holocaust Survivors at the Century Village Clubhouse in Boca Raton. These Survivors, clients of Ruth & Norman Rales Jewish Family Services, gather monthly to connect, socialize, and enjoy various activities.
Alex Chernis, Program Director of the Caregiver Resources & Respite Program, who facilitates these monthly meetings, shared, “I was delighted to see astonished faces and smiles. It brought so much happiness and warm feelings to these Survivors.”
The therapy dogs, part of Certified
Therapy Dog, Inc., a non-profit organization that offers visits at no cost, were a highlight of the day. Founder Alan Levine noted, “As soon as the dogs entered the room, the Survivors stopped eating their lunch and dove into a pool of joy.” He added that the visit left a lasting impression on all the handlers as well.
One Holocaust Survivor expressed, “I feel connected and so much calmer.” Another commented, “We felt very positive emotions and played with the dogs like children, with big smiles.”
The visit was made even more special as the group celebrated the 100th birthday of Holocaust Survivor Mikhail
Teslyar, making his milestone birthday unforgettable.

Boca’s Teacher Of The Year Awards Had Heart
Even mounds of good food courtesy of West Boca High’s culinary students during the reception couldn’t compete with this year’s emotional 39th Annual Boca Raton Teachers of the Year Awards Celebration.
Boca Chamber CEO/president Troy McLellan and Education Foundation CEO/president Jim Gavrilos exchanged good-natured barbs, standing at lecterns on opposite sides of the stage at The Studio at Mizner Park to take turns introducing the honorees. “These teachers knocked it out of the park,” Gavrilos said.
Educators of all ages, mostly women and two men, were introduced to the audience via brief videos. All 23 showed their principal explaining why they were picked, and the teachers in their classroom interacting with their students. Anyone watching had to come away moved. Among them were Maureen Carter, who returned to Boca High to teach kids about the Holocaust when principal Dr. Susie King reached out with a need, she said earlier.
Schools superintendent Mike Burke saluted Frank Barbieri for “getting this started 39 years ago.” “We had a simple goal…to support teachers as fellow members of Boca Raton Sunrise,” said Barbieri, a Golden Bell board member and former school board president. “Teaching is the most important profession in the world.” The Chamber’s Golden Bell Education Foundation and Rotary Sunrise co-chair this event.
Sunrise Rotary President Michael Kridel presented the first Frank A. Bar-

bieri Lifetime Achievement Award to Wanda Moran, representing the Wanda & Jim Moran Foundation as the program sponsor. “Jim and I never set out to be recognized. If you have the ability to help, you should,” she said. “The real heroes are the teachers in this room. We are proud to stand beside you.”
South Regional Superintendent Rachel Capitano emceed. Rotary Sunrise’s
Susan Weinblatt and Golden Bell’s Mandy Forrester co-chaired. Spanish River High’s Silver Sound jazz band and Boca High’s chorus provided the background music. The culinary students even had take-home boxes of desserts prepared afterwards. They were absolutely delicious.

Six Sea Turtles Released Following Treatment at The Coastal Stewards Rehab Center in Boca Raton
Boca Raton, FL – The Coastal Stewards is a nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to the protection and study of marine life and the coastal ecosystem, joined with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) to release six turtles at Canaveral National Seashore yesterday. All six of the turtles were initially found cold stunned in New England and North Florida beaches before being transferred to Boca Raton for months of care and treatment.
The turtles that were released include:
Three Kemp’s Ridley Turtles –named Travis Shellsea, Lavender Waves and Betty Buggles – all of whom were initially found cold-stunned in New England before being flown down to Gumbo Limbo Nature Center back in December 2024 for rehabilitation with The Coastal Stewards. All three had
pneumonia and were treated with oral antibiotics and nebulization. Kemp’s Ridley turtles are endangered.
The Coastal Stewards hosted a Taylor Swift themed fundraiser earlier this year to name them! There are now four Kemp’s Ridley turtles from New England – all with Taylor Swift themed names –still being cared for by Dr. Shelby Loos, DVM, Director of Marine Life Conservation, and her team.
Three Green Turtles – named Jacksonville, Barnacle Boy and Lorelei –were also released. Jacksonville, a juvenile green turtles stranded in North
Florida before being moved to The Coastal Stewards after the Hurricane. Jacksonville had fibropapilloma virus and had to undergo two surgeries to remove his tumors before being ready to return to the ocean. Barnacle Boy and Lorelei, meanwhile, were both cold stunned in North Florida earlier this year.
There are still a number of sea turtles at The Coastal Stewards Rehab Center at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center being treated and cared for. The public is welcome visit them, learn about their individual cases, and support their care by making a donation!
Our nonprofit was established in 1981 as The Gumbo Limbo Nature Center of South Palm Beach and evolved to the Friends of Gumbo Limbo and later to the Gumbo Limbo Coastal Stewards. Always an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, these guardians of the coastal environment and the marine life that call Southeast Florida home have funded education, research, and the sea turtle rehabilitation work since for more than 15 years. The mission of The Coastal Stewards is to inspire people to support the stewardship and research of coastal and marine ecosystems. In 2023, The Coastal Stewards expanded its focus on the rescue, rehabilitation, research, and release of sea turtles to aid dolphins, manatees, and whales.

Caron Treatment Centers Expands Addiction Treatment Services in Delray Beach With New Programs for Individuals 18 and Older
Delray Beach, FL – Caron Treatment Centers, a leading, internationally recognized nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives through addiction and behavioral healthcare treatment, research, prevention and addiction medicine education, announces that beginning in April, it will offer expanded access to addiction treatment in South Florida with the launch of new in-network Residential, Partial Hospitalization/High Intensity Outpatient, Intensive Outpatient and Outpatient Programs for adults 18 or older. With the opening of these new programs and the medical detoxification services available at Caron’s Keele Medical Center, Caron will offer a full continuum of addiction treatment services that are in-network with Lucet –Behavioral Health Management, Commercial Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and United Healthcare/Optum (United Behavioral Health).
“Caron is strongly committed to Florida and the South Florida community,” said Javier Ley, MA, MS, LPC, LCAC, DPC, Executive Vice President of Caron’s Florida Campus. “These new programs fulfill the promise we made two years ago when we opened The Keele Center, our state-of-the-art medical facility in Delray Beach, to make Caron’s life-changing addiction treatment as widely accessible to as many people as possible. Caron is fully focused on being a resource to the South Florida community, and we look forward to growing these new programs.”
“Our long-term vision is for insurance providers to eventually cover brain health assessments and treatments for
substance use disorder pioneered in our Florida-based Signature Programs,” explained John Driscoll, President and CEO of Caron Treatment Centers.
“Addiction is a brain disease. Caron’s Neurorestorative Approach integrates traditional treatment modalities with scientific advancements to optimize the brain’s ability to heal and rewire itself into healthier patterns. Our hope is that insurance providers will come to understand that neurorestorative care can help people enter recovery faster and stay there longer, saving both money and lives.”
“Caron Treatment Centers’ decision to expand access to treatment reflects its dedication to transforming lives by offering comprehensive care that addresses the complexities of addiction and mental health, fostering long-term recovery and well-being – a win for families and the community,” says Dr. Donna Marks, a leading psychotherapist and addictions counselor who has treated patients in the Palm Beach community for more than three decades.
“Caron Treatment Centers’ unwavering dedication to providing evidence-based treatment and high-quality service is exemplary. Their strategic initiative to launch insurance-friendly programs and expand access to care in Florida is a true testament to their commitment. This bold step will undoubtedly help in addressing the profound impact that substance use disorders and mental health issues have on countless individuals and families,” says Dr. Naelys Luna, Ph.D., MSW, Founding Dean and Professor of the College of Social Work and Criminal Justice at Florida Atlantic University.
Caron’s new in-network outpatient program options will initially be provided clinical services at Caron’s Keele Medical Center and move to new clinical office space later this summer. Scan the QR code to learn more:
