Facility Hosts Legislator As Part of National Nursing Home Week Celebration

On Monday, Rep. Gayle Harrell (R-81) toured Palm Garden of Port St. Lucie and took part in the facility's Tropical Day as part of their National Nursing Home Week celebration. Administrator Scott Cairns introduced her to residents and staff, giving her information about what they do at the facility and how the decisions made in Tallahassee affect the care they provide. The Representative shared with the group her belief in the family, her health care accomplishments and the challenges Floridians face going forward. She also helped present several nursing awards, after which Mr. Cairns presented her with an Honorary Angel tribute, asking her to be their Angel up in Tallahassee, to watch over them and keep the residents and staff in her thoughts when she is making important decisions.
