In fact, the state has the highest unintentional drowning rate among children 1-4 years in the U.S.
The Layers of Protection are important lifesaving safety tips to protect you and others. Each layer includes best practices to remember.
The include:
👀 SUPERVISION
- Teach children about water safety
- The “Water Watcher” is when a responsible adult who is assigned the role of watching children and adults who are in or near the water. This helps everyone know who the ‘watcher’ is at all times.
🚨 BARRIERS AND ALARMS
- Gates, fences, walls and doors to physically block access to the pool.
🆘 BE PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES
- Learn CPR and always have a phone nearby in case of an emergency.
🧠 LEARN TO SWIM
- Everyone should at least know the basics of swimming, including floating, treading and moving through water.
💦 TEACH CHILDREN ABOUT WATER SAFETY
- Make swimming a family activity and learn together. Formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88%.
🛟 WEAR A LIFEJACKET
- Lifejackets save lives. But remember, they DO NOT replace the need for supervision. Weak and non-swimmers should wear lifejackets when and/or swimming in all bodies of water.

Cleveland Clinic, Indian River Medical Center and Martin Health System officials celebrated the addition of Indian River Medical Center (IRMC) and Martin Health System as full members of the Cleveland Clinic health system, during events in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and Vero Beach, Fla., on January 9, 2019.
Hospital leaders from all three organizations came together today to meet with caregivers, and celebrate. In addition they shared the integration vision and welcomed all to the Cleveland Clinic family.
“These are well-respected hospitals that have a long history of taking great care of their communities. We are very proud they are now part of Cleveland Clinic’s health system,” said Tom Mihaljevic, M.D., CEO and President of Cleveland Clinic. “As healthcare continues to evolve, this integration will strengthen our ability to deliver on our mission and provide the best care to our patients together.”
Cleveland Clinic’s approach to integration with both organizations will be thoughtful and comprehensive and it will focus initially on learning more about each hospital, the needs of patients, caregivers and the communities. Integration teams are being formed which will focus on understanding the needs and establishing priorities. These teams will also share best practices, learn from one another and help to guide the integration together.
As part of the celebration events on Wednesday, new branding and hospitals names were unveiled. Moving forward they will be known as:
Indian River Medical Center will be — Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital.
The three hospitals collectively in the Martin Health System will be — Cleveland Clinic Martin Health
Martin Medical Center (in Stuart, Fla) will be–Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital
Martin Hospital South (in Stuart, Fla) will be—Cleveland Clinic Martin South Hospital
Tradition Medical Center will be – Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital
There were multiple events held on Wednesday at both Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital and Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital for caregivers, which included a Q & A and the opportunity to meet one another.
Speakers included:
Tom Mihaljevic, M.D., CEO and President Cleveland Clinic
Wael Barsoum, M.D., CEO and President, Cleveland Clinic Florida Region
Kevin Fitzgerald, M.D., Associate Director of Inpatient Care, Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital
Robert Lord, President, Cleveland Clinic Martin Health
John Lowenberg, Past Chair, Martin Health Board
Gregory Rosencrance, M.D., President, Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital
Wayne Hockmeyer, Ph.D., Board Member, Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital
“We are honored to work with both Indian River and Martin Health,” Dr. Barsoum said. “Our goal is to provide exceptional care for residents in the Treasure Coast and southeast Florida region, and this is a defining moment for us all and the communities we serve.”
Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital and Cleveland Clinic Martin Health join as the first regional hospitals in the Cleveland Clinic Florida region. Patients will continue to see their same physicians and providers at their current locations and all operations and appointments for outpatient services will proceed as scheduled. All insurance plans accepted at the hospitals will continue to be accepted.
