Okeechobee County showed up 💛
This group just completed doula training—and that means stronger support, healthier families, and better outcomes in their community.

We’re proud to train doulas who are ready to make a real difference where they live and work.

You don’t need to feel sick to need a checkup.

High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and prostate issues often show no symptoms—until they do.

This Men’s Health Month, take a few minutes for your future self.
✅ Get checked
✅ Know your numbers
✅ Encourage someone else to do the same

On May 16, the 14th Annual Dancing with Vero Stars took center stage—and what an incredible night it was! Thanks to the passion, dedication, and generosity of our 10-star dancers, along with the overwhelming support of our community, this year's event achieved record-breaking success.

Every dollar raised helps the Indian River County Healthy Start Coalition provide vital services for local families, including prenatal support, nurse home visiting, parenting education, fatherhood programs, and more. Together, we're helping ensure that every parent has support, every baby has a healthy start, and every family has the opportunity to thrive.

Thank you to everyone who danced, donated, volunteered, and cheered us on. When our community comes together, amazing things happen.

June Men's Health Highlights

Problem: Men live 5 years less on average - often because they avoid the doctor.

Let's change the statistic: More check-ups. More conversations. Better habits. Longer, healthier lives.
