SENDING LOVE TO SENIORS 2022
VIP AMERICA HOME HEALTH REFERRALS LAUNCHES
3rd ANNUAL VIP LOVE NOTES & ROSES CAMPAIGN

MELBOURNE, Florida, December 7, 2021 – With a new year fast approaching, the professionals at VIP Home Health Referrals are urging residents and visitors in Brevard, Seminole, and Orange Counties to start gathering Love Notes and Roses for seniors and veterans.
“The holidays at this time of year are very special for everyone. However, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and after a busy holiday and New Year, seniors may be feeling alone and unloved after the holiday highs. That’s why we are asking area churches, schools, businesses, senior centers, and many others to create and gather love notes for seniors and veterans so we can cheer them up for Valentine’s Day,” said Jill Ball, President, VIP America.
This is the Third Annual VIP Roses & Love Notes campaign organized and implemented by VIP America Home Health Referrals. The Second Annual VIP Roses & Love Notes campaign was an overwhelming success despite the COVID-19 pandemic, generating more than 5,000 cards and love notes for seniors throughout the region.
“It’s a proven fact that isolationism had a devastating impact on those who were cut off from not only their loved ones but people from the outside world. Isolationism leads to loneliness and depression. Many of our seniors and veterans needed the emotional and spiritual boost a caring note, Valentine’s Card or even a simple rose had on their lives last year and we need an even bigger outpouring of love this year for 2022,” said Ball.
VIP America will make sure their staff of professionals deliver your loving messages directly to seniors and veterans who otherwise may not get a little reminder they are loved on Valentine’s Day. If deliveries of Love Notes and Roses exceed the number of seniors receiving care through VIP America registry, the home health referral professionals will share your love with senior care and veterans’ organizations throughout the region.
“We thought it appropriate to take the lead in this special project because seniors should be everyone’s special VIP’s – Very Important People – no matter where you live in the Central Florida Region,” said Ball.
Participants so far include Brevard County TRIAD, a number of local Chambers of Commerce, more than a dozen businesses, school art classes, multiple Condo Association clubs, and a variety of church groups.
“If your business, club, organization, church, or school would like to brighten the lives of seniors and senior veterans, we urge you to get involved now,” added Ball.

On to a more serious post.

The Great American Senior Show will be streaming several upcoming episodes you will not want to miss.

One deals with the day to day life and tasks of our dedicated Funeral Directors and their staff.

What has the pandemic meant to them? Were there certain procedures and protections that had to be put in place? What is the emotional and other strains this puts on a Funeral Director? And staff?

The Great American Senior Show will also feature two episodes on a topic that for many is taboo...

Turning our dead bodies into dirt. Literally.

The process is called Terramation. Over the course of several months, your deceased body is turned into soil. And, the soil is then returned to the family.

Stay tuned for Funeral Director -- The Pandemic Toll

And, Terramation -- Humans for a Greener Earth

If you live on the Space Coast in Brevard County, now is the time to make sure you get your flu shot.

We have partnered with the health care coalition to bring flu shots to you for free.

Let's all do our part to stay safe and healthy as we head into this year's flu season.

3-2-1 FLU SHOT LIFT OFF!
HEALTH AND BUSINESS LEADERS TAKE INITIATIVE TO PREVENT THE FLU THROUGHOUT BREVARD COUNTY

MELBOURNE, Florida/November 14, 2020 – The Health Council of East Central Florida (HCECF) in partnership with a variety of community organizations and local businesses, today launched the 321 Flu Shot Lift Off campaign with a goal of increasing the rate of influenza vaccinations throughout Brevard County.
This unique collaboration between local hospitals and health systems, pharmacies, health insurance companies, safety net programs, the Florida Department of Health in Brevard County, multiple municipalities, Brevard County leaders and businesses, local media, and many others provides an opportunity for a widespread message regarding the importance of flu vaccines during a critical time when healthcare providers continue to battle COVID-19.
“As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we must remain vigilant during our fall and winter months,” said Andy Romine, President, Rockledge Regional Medical Center.
The Florida Department of Health, which tracks influenza and influenza like illnesses (ILI) is reporting that, for now, flu remains at a relatively low level in Brevard County.
“This is typically the time of the year when flu-related hospitalizations along with ICU bed utilization begins to increase. This, in combination with COVID-19 has the potential to strain resources of our hospital systems here in Brevard County,” added Romine.
Brevard County health and medical professionals remind everyone that we have a well-studied and well-proven, efficacious, and safe vaccine available for influenza. “Flu vaccinations not only decrease infection rates but also minimize adverse outcomes should you get the flu,” stated Maria Stahl, DOH-Brevard Administrator. “Reducing the number of people requiring hospitalization due to the flu allows greater hospitalization capacity for others who require hospitalization due to COVID-19 or other reasons. And, getting a flu shot is yet another way to maintain a stable workforce for small and large businesses who are helping Brevard County recover from the negative impact of business shutdowns earlier this year,” said Maria Stahl, DNP, RN, Administrator, Florida Department of Health in Brevard County.
Our Campaign
During the 2019-2020 influenza season in Florida, Brevard County had a mortality rate of 11.44 per 100,000 people.* With a new influenza season having the potential to coincide with a COVID-19 surge, our goal is to take every measure to reduce that rate this year.
“The flu vaccine has been shown to significantly reduce hospitalizations in both children and adults who may be infected with the virus. We need to be as proactive as possible at reducing
influenza-related hospitalizations this flu season. Getting a flu shot is the best way to accomplish this,” concluded Romine.
To learn more about the 321 Flu Shot Lift Off campaign or to support the program to vaccinate residents of Brevard County against influenza, contact Sam Yates, Yates & Associates, Public Relations & Marketing at (772) 528-5185 or visit www.321FluShotLiftOff.com. Special Thanks
to the 321FluShotLiftOff Partner Organizations for helping to make this program possible.
