"Thank Our Healers" Offering Rest and Relaxation

Jul 01, 2021

The Thank our Healers program, co-funded by Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, is ongoing and making big impact for our community’s hardworking healthcare heroes. The program offers free admittances to Palm Beach County nurses and their guests at top local attractions. So far, the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium have welcomed over 500 nurses and their families and are now extending the opportunity to nursing students as well.

John D. MacArthur Beach State Park has welcomed 100 nurses and their guests. “This grant has brought much happiness to so many people already,” said Executive Director Veronica Frehm. “We are so thrilled to be part of this effort to thank local nurses for their dedication to the health of our community.”

A PHF Scholar Dedicated to Supporting her Hispanic Community

18 Sep, 2024

Palm Health Foundation behavioral health scholarship recipient Beatriz Moreno remembers the first time she was made aware that she was a first-generation student. “I was applying to colleges in my junior year of high school with my high school counselor and I had to answer what level of education my parents had completed,” said the Argentine American scholar. “As I sat there, I realized that neither of my parents had completed a college degree in the United States. I was the eldest child to start that journey.” It was the beginning of her educational pursuit to combine her interest in behavioral health with her passion for helping people from Hispanic cultures. “Stigma surrounds mental health in the Hispanic community,” she said. “It prevents people from receiving the proper supports, especially when acculturating to a new way of life. And it affects their children.”
