Gulfside launches new website
Gulfside Healthcare Services announced the launch of its new website, providing a user-friendly online experience with even more access to care options and resources for the community, according to a news release.
The new website can be found at Gulfside.org, and features information about the organization’s three primary health care services and resources for caregivers. It also has a frequently asked questions (FAQ) video library, a collection of grief articles, easy-to-complete contact forms, downloadable care guides, and more.
“Gulfside Healthcare Service’s new website reflects our three values of patient-centered care, honoring our staff, and community-supporting service,” Linda Ward, president & CEO of Gulfside, said in the release.
Gulfside has been serving the community since 1989, as a hospice provider. It also offers palliative care for chronic illness, and skilled home health and rehab services.
The organization also provides bereavement counseling and caregiver support to the community, and operates five thrift shops to support charity care for those in need.
The new website features virtual tours of the Gulfside Centers for Hospice Care, as well as testimonials about the care provided by Gulfside’s team, Ward said.
Other featured sections include upcoming events, ways to donate, and various programs that provide specialized care for patients and families.
Food initiative for teens
AdventHealth has launched a teen-focused Food is Health initiative to teach healthy habits, and to help reduce food insecurity and poverty.
AdventHealth Foundation West Florida and AdventHealth Carrollwood have partnered with the Hispanic Services Council and The Skills Center, a sports-based youth development organization, to pilot a youth version of the health system’s Food is Health program, at Armature Works and The City of Tampa’s Parks & Recreation.
The program aims to increase access to health education and fresh, healthy foods to improve the overall health of local communities.
“We are committed to caring for all who need us, whether they’re in our care in an AdventHealth hospital or out in the community,” said Kimberly Williams, director of community benefit, AdventHealth West Florida Division.
Twenty-five students from The Skills Center will participate in nutrition classes that incorporate Share Our Strength’s “Cooking Matters at Home Lessons,” taught by the Hispanic Services Council, and learn hands-on cooking techniques.
Students also will receive free vouchers to shop for fresh fruits and vegetables on site, to prepare nutritious meals at home with their families.
