understands as well as anyone the importance of dealing with health professionals who are focused on meeting the specific needs of the client.

This is her goal at Boca Nursing Services, which she launched 18 years ago after spending time as a registered nurse who worked with private patients. “Continuity is very important to our clients,” Glamoclija says. “It’s comforting to know that someone who understands what you need and want is always available to help.”

To help ensure continuity of care and provide peace of mind for her patients and their families, Glamoclija developed a team approach designed to proved each client with a team of caregivers.

“When I first meet with a patient, I immediately have an idea of which caregivers will make the best team,” she says. “We’ve discovered that there is a high degree of patient satisfaction that results from matching the right team to the patient.”

At Boca Nursing Services, it’s not unusual for a team of caregivers to stay with a patient for many years. Whether they’re at home or in the hospital, our clients are able to live more enjoyable lives thanks to the team approach,” Glamoclija says.

Boca Nursing Services then matches you with the caregiver who is best suited for you. The Nursing Department not only orients the caregiver to your personalized plan of care, but also ensures that services are provided in accordance with the plan and to your complete satisfaction.

All of our healthcare professionals are of the highest quality who undergo careful screening of their references and credentials including a drug and criminal background screening.

NEON

Proceeds benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County

April 7, 2017, Nearly 400 guests celebrated the “unofficial close” to the Palm Beach social season as they turned out for the annual white party - Barefoot on the Beach at the Breakers Beach Club.

The event has become a staple on the society calendar and this year was no exception with co-chairs Susan Miller and Holly Weston on point to present a memorable evening. As guests arrived they received a spirited welcome from members of the Max M. Fisher Boys & Girls Club who tossed out party beads to the guests as they passed through the receiving line. Further on, they were presented with the evening’s signature drink – “Frose” and mouth-watering hors d’oeuvres.

Following a sumptuous buffet dinner, guests were wowed with a surprise performance from Club member Keiyon Ivory who moved the crowd with his rendition of How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You. Founding chairs, Reid Boren and Tom Quick shared the live auction duties, resulting in one of the most successful live auctions in the events history. South Florida’s premier top 40 band, Wonderama provided the energy during dinner. Closing out the poolside festivities, a colorful Junkanoo Parade lead guests from the Beach Club to the Venetian Ballroom in time for the all new “After Party” featuring socialite DJ Mad Marg (Marjorie Gubelmann). The ballroom was transformed into a chic black light party complete with neon décor accents. “We are extremely grateful to all of our sponsors, donors and to our new co-chairs Susan Miller and Holly Weston. Their fresh new look for Barefoot was amazingly well received” said Reid Boren.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the overwhelming support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County, I am beyond grateful” added Holly Weston.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County joins Reid in thanking Co-Chairs Miller and Weston as well as CoChairmen Kristen Cashel and Richard Gaff; Junior Chairmen Craig Gibson, Jr. and Brooke Murphy; and Honorary Chairmen Brooks Bishop, Lauren Borman Bohn, Taylor Collins, and Keith Williams.

An Irish music trio kicked off the party as guests in festive frocks perused the silent auction to explore the experiential offerings while enjoying cocktails, raw bar and hors d’oeuvres before moving into the European style ballroom which was dressed as a shamrock fairyland right out of an Irish storybook.

As guests were served a four-course traditional Irish menu in grand Mar-a-Lago style, event honorary co-chairmen, Richard Stephenson, Gateway chairman of the board, and Dr. Stacie Stephenson, Gateway board director, presented the Legend Award to Park in recognition of his dedication to funding leading-edge cancer research. The festivities continued into the night with a jolly sing-a-long of Irish folk songs and dancing to the lively music of popular Boston band, Sultans of Swing.
