Flu shots are in! It's very important to be vaccinated against the flu, especially now. Vaccines for all ages are available. We do not have walk in hours at this time; please call the office to schedule your appointment. 321-453-5252

Most of us are aware that there has been a recent increase in positive Covid-19 cases in Brevard County and throughout the state. We would like to encourage everyone to continue following CDC guidelines, including wearing a face covering while out in public, washing and sanitizing your hands, and practicing social distancing. We remain open for in-office and telehealth appointments, with safety measures in place. Please keep your scheduled appointments, and call us with any questions or concerns.

As Florida begins to take the initial steps toward re-opening, we want to remind our patients to continue practicing social distancing and diligent hand washing protocols, as well as wearing a mask when out in public if possible. The risk for those in our community that are most vulnerable is still high. We continue to remain open to provide patient care through telehealth platforms as well as in the office. Please keep your appointments, and contact the office with any questions or concerns.

With the stay at home order in effect for Florida until the end of April, we would like to remind our patients that visits to your doctor, pharmacy, lab, etc. ARE considered essential reasons to leave your home. We will continue to see patients in the office, as well as provide telehealth consults. If you have flu-like symptoms, have traveled recently, have come into contact with a known or suspected case of COVID-19, or prefer to not come into the office at this time, please let us know right away! No shows still affect patient care negatively, and fees may apply. Thank you!

We got very lucky and were spared the worst that Hurricane Dorian had to offer. Our neighbors in the Bahamas were not as lucky! We will be accepting donations of purified water, diapers/wipes, personal hygiene products, and more. Please bring what you would like to donate to our office, and we will transport to a designated drop off location. Thank you for your help!

It's a beautiful Monday morning here on the Island, and our office is once again open! We were very fortunate that our only damage is a downed sign, and we hope that all of you made it through Hurricane Matthew safe and sound. Have a wonderful week!

In order to allow our staff time to prepare for Hurricane Matthew, we have decided to close the office beginning at 12:00 on TODAY. We will remain closed through the weekend, and will re-open on Monday, October 10. Thank you for your cooperation, and please stay safe!

As you all know, Brevard County is preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Matthew, along with the rest of the east coast of Florida. Mandatory evacuation of Merritt Island begins at 3:00 pm today, and Cape Canaveral Hospital is closing it's doors at 9:00 am today. Our office WILL BE OPEN regular hours today, and will close Thursday and Friday. We will keep you updated if anything changes. Please feel free to call us today with questions/concerns!

School is back in full swing again in Brevard County! Have your kids had their annual physical yet? August is National Immunization Awareness Month, just in time for flu season. We have our first shipment of this year's flu vaccine in the office now. Call to schedule appointments for the kiddos, or to put your name on our list to call when the next shipment arrives!

We've been so busy seeing patients in the office that we managed to let slip by us this week! No worries, though, because we're sharing Medical Assistant Alyssa's favorite form of exercise, and it's a really unique one! Paddle board enthusiasts have always known about how the activity helps build better overall balance because it works your core and legs as part of a full body workout. Newbies will quickly learn how it also lowers stress levels and increases your always-important cardiovascular health. We love how this pic from funoncocoabeach.com showcases this great way to exercise, as well as one of the great views our community offers!

This week's installment of "Our Favorite Ways to Exercise" for comes from Amanda, one of our Medical Assistants. She is a recent convert to the running club! This graphic from juiceworks.com outlines some of the health benefits of running. We know, we know... It's HOT outside right now! Try running later in the evening, or first thing in the morning, or give the treadmill a try. Crank up your favorite tunes and give it a go!

It's time for another installment of our favorite exercise series. This week we're looking at PA Marze's favorite way to stay healthy: dancing! Just a few of the benefits are listed in the graphic, and there are so many more. One of the other benefits is a reduced risk for dementia, with one study showing a 76% reduction! Any form of dancing will do, so get out and find a class, go dancing with friends, or even dance around your living room!

Dr. Naoumoff, Marze, and the staff at Riverside Family Health wish you all a safe and happy Fourth of July weekend! And it's a 3-day weekend to boot... An extra to day celebrate!

For the next few weeks of posts, we're going to highlight our favorite ways to get moving and stay healthy! We'll kick it off with Dr. Naoumoff's preferred form of exercise: Swimming. This graphic from fss2000.com shows just a few of the many ways that swimming improves your health. What a great way to stay cool in the summer AND do your body good!

The dogs are taking over!! Looks like Dr. Naoumoff is being edged out by Dr. Wendy... And she's having so much fun! Did you observe National Take Your Dog to Work Day too? Share your pics!

It's National Daylight Savings Appreciation Day! With yesterday being the summer solstice (the longest day of the year), we thought we would share a few reasons why catching a few rays is good for you. Don't forget to apply sunscreen (you'll still get the great benefits without the damage) and stay hydrated, sun worshippers!

We know that it's not easy for a lot of us to maintain a healthy lifestyle diet, so we thought we'd share some tips to help out! One of the most important tips is: Stick to the perimeter! This is where you find the freshest foods (less preservatives!) that are full of the right kinds of calories. Diet is a great way to control chronic conditions, and may even lead to less medications. Your local grocery store may even have helpful lists of products made for certain diets. For more helpful shopping tips, check out this article https://fitnessmeetsfrosting.com/2013/09/03/healthy-eating-tips-grocery-shopping/. Happy Shopping and Eating everyone!

Our hearts are broken for the families and friends of those lost. Our love and support goes out to the survivors of that tragic night. We stand with our community, our state, our world, because we are .

Check out this fantastic shot of our fearless doctor swimming around Key West! This year marks the 5th time Dr. Naoumoff has made the 12.5 mile swim, and he completed it in just over 5 hours. Help us congratulate him!

Take a moment to remember those who lost their lives in service of our great country. Thank you to those who continue to bravely fight! All of us at Riverside Family Health wish you a Safe and Happy Memorial Day! Who are you thanking today?

Did you know that our Physician Assistant, Marze Boersma, is with us full time, and is available for any appointment you may need?? You may be wondering: Why should I see the PA? Here's a great answer:

"If you haven’t already received medical care from a physician assistant, chances are that someday you will. More and more, PAs are becoming familiar players on the health care team. Don’t be thrown by the “assistant” in their title. Physician assistants undergo intensive medical training and provide many of the same services as doctors."
