The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners thanked Baptist Health South Florida for its $20,000 sponsorship of Monroe County's Parks and Beaches Summer Camp Program at Wednesday’s meeting.

“This generous funding was used to support scholarships, provide free day camps for teachers at Sugarloaf during the final two days before school starts, and help cover costs for educational field trips, healthy snacks, and essential camp supplies,” said Monroe County Mayor Jim Scholl.

Special recognition was also given to Baptist’s Community Benefit Committee Chairman Jay Hershoff for his diligence in facilitating this donation and his commitment to the health and well-being of Monroe County children. Monroe County State Attorney Dennis Ward and Mayor Pro Tem Michelle Lincoln helped make the connection once learning there was a need in the community.

When Edgar Jones came to Fishermen’s Community Hospital, our team recognized his heart needed immediate care. Once stabilized, Mr. Jones was driven by ambulance to Baptist Health Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, where he underwent a minimally invasive cardiac bypass surgery that only a handful of hospitals in the United States offer. As part of his recovery, Mr. Jones participated in a 12-week cardiac rehab program at Mariners Hospital. His story is a true reminder of the power of compassionate local care and advanced specialty medicine working hand in hand here at Baptist Health.

When Edgar Jones needed a triple bypass, he ended up at Baptist Health Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, one of just a few U.S. hospitals with the expertise and technology to offer a minimally invasive approach. https://baptisthealth.net/baptist-health-news/rare-minimally-invasive-triple-bypass-surgery-gets-keys-man-back-on-his-feet
