❄️Ice or Heat?🔥

Heat helps: stiff joints, chronic pain, muscle spasms.
Ice helps: new injuries, swelling, sprains, strains, bruises.
Both can help: headaches, pulled muscles, joint injuries (ice first, heat later).

👉 Tip: Ice within 5–10 min of injury, 20 min on/off.

When in doubt, check with your doctor for what’s best.

BayCare’s South Florida Baptist Hospital recently celebrated its one-year anniversary in a unique way—by opening a time capsule from 1952!

Discovered while retrieving the cornerstone from the original hospital on Alexander Street in Plant City, the aged, copper box was opened during a rededication ceremony of the cornerstone and celebration of the hospital's first year in its new location.

CEO Stephanie Conners, along with hospital leadership and members of the community were on hand to witness six items freed from their nearly 73-year encapsulation: a December 19, 1952 edition of the Plant City Courier signed by the Courier staff, an issue of the Florida Baptist Witness, a typed list of the members of the SFBH corporation and Board of Directors from 1952, a palm-sized Bible and two coins, one from 1948 the other from 1858.

To keep the tradition going, SFBH leaders are assembling a new time capsule to be sealed within the cornerstone displayed at the new hospital with instructions that it not be opened before Aug. 10, 2075.
