We were happy to be able to attend the Lakeland-Lanier Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Dinner. It was a really nice evening spent celebrating the folks and organizations that help make our community what it is.

Big congratulations to all the businesses, citizens, and students who were recognized. Your hard work, kindness, and commitment don’t go unnoticed, and we’re thankful for everything you do to take care of this community.

Residents at the SGMC Health Villa are loving their new Starcraft bus funded by the SGMC Health Foundation! 🚐😍 Several of the skilled nursing facility residents took part in the maiden voyage around Lakeland, just for fun!

With room for 12 passengers and 2 wheelchairs, the bus makes outings, appointments, and scenic drives easier and more inclusive. 💚
