Congratulations to John Young, our latest C.A.R.E. Award winner for Business Support! A Trauma Hawk EMS Helicopter Pilot Instructor, John was nominated by a colleague for his exceptional skill, leadership and commitment to safety during a recent high-risk landing.

Responding to a critical call, John safely landed the aircraft on a section of the Turnpike that was under construction, navigating uneven pavement, construction materials and avoiding high-tension power lines. The challenging environment required precise judgment, technical expertise and calm decision-making under pressure.

Throughout the response, John maintained clear communication and strong situational awareness, helping keep the crew focused and coordinated. His steady leadership allowed Trauma Hawk to land safely and deliver critical care without delay.

🤝 A behind-the-scenes look at partnership in action!

The Health Care District is working side by side with Tampa General Hospital to strengthen rural health care in the Glades.

Together, our teams are collaborating to achieve a critical goal: expanding access, enhancing services and creating new opportunities to meet the healthcare needs of the communities we serve.

These photos offer a glimpse of that work in action as our team rolls up its sleeves alongside our Tampa General Hospital partners to plan, problem-solve and help bring what’s next to life.

Congratulations to Marco Fernandez Sanchez, APRN, our latest C.A.R.E. Award winner for Clinical Support! A nurse practitioner at our Mangonia Park Community Health Center, Marco was recognized by a patient for the compassion, respect and support he provides during some of life’s most difficult moments.

The patient shared that Marco has consistently gone above and beyond to make sure their healthcare needs are met. During a recent visit related to recovery and relapse, Marco did more than provide treatment. He took the time to sit down, listen and talk through what the patient was experiencing with empathy, understanding and respect. Marco helped them feel cared for, supported and treated with dignity when they needed it most.

Care doesn’t happen because of one person or one role. It takes all of us.

This , we’re celebrating the 1,400 Health Care District team members whose work keeps our healthcare system moving and our community cared for.

From the team members providing direct patient care to the many people working behind the scenes to support operations, every role makes a difference.

Thank you for bringing your skills, compassion and commitment to work each day and helping us care for all across Palm Beach County.

In observance of Labor Day, our Community Health Centers and administrative offices are closed today and will reopen tomorrow.

Eight years of service. Three years as chair. Countless contributions to Lakeside and the Glades community.

At this week’s Lakeside Health Advisory Board meeting, we recognized Eddie Rhodes for his dedicated leadership and volunteer service now that he has completed two full terms on the hospital Board.

Throughout his time on the Lakeside Health Advisory Board, Eddie has been a strong advocate for Lakeside Medical Center and the people of the Glades, bringing his perspective, commitment and passion for the rural community to his role.

👏 Thank you, Eddie, for your eight years of leadership, advocacy and service, and for all you have done to raise awareness of how we care for all in the Glades.

A partnership making an impact!

This week, Palm Beach State College (PBSC) presented Lakeside Medical Center with the Panther Partner Award, recognizing our partnership with the college and its commitment to supporting the essential healthcare workforce pipeline in Florida.

Through clinical rotations at Lakeside, PBSC nursing students and technicians gain valuable hands-on hospital experience while learning alongside our team and caring for patients in the Glades. It’s a partnership that advances health education across Palm Beach County, creates a talent pipeline and makes a meaningful impact in our rural Glades communities.

The partnership is also source of Panther pride for several of our Lakeside team members who are PBSC alumni and joined in for a photo. 📸

Thank you, Palm Beach State College, for this recognition and for your continued partnership!

Congratulations to Dr. Germaine Noukelak, our latest C.A.R.E. Award winner for Leadership! A physician at our West Palm Beach Community Health Center and Medical Director for our Skilled Nursing Center, Dr. Noukelak was recognized by her colleagues for leading with compassion, encouragement and a genuine commitment to those around her.

From sharing uplifting quotes during weekday huddles to supporting team members through challenges, she creates an environment where employees feel valued and supported. That same compassion also extends to her residents. When a Skilled Nursing Center resident was hospitalized with complications that delayed his return, Dr. Noukelak personally visited him to check on his condition and offer support.

Through both everyday encouragement and meaningful acts of care, Dr. Noukelak shows what it means to lead with heart.
