This November, we’re shining a spotlight on lung cancer, one of the leading causes of cancer deaths for men and women. November is also Smoking Cessation Month, which dovetails perfectly with lung cancer awareness, as smoking is a leading cause of lung cancer. If you are a smoker, talk to your physician about getting screened (typically a low-dose CT scan).

But smokers are not the only at-risk group. Others include those who have been exposed to radon and secondhand smoke. Again, talk to your medical professional to see if you should get tested -and spread the word!

One last unsolicited piece of advice: quit smoking!

One of VNA Hospice’s landmark programs is its Ceremony of Remembrance. This event is held twice a year for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one and honors hospice patients and families served by the VNA. Family and friends have the opportunity to share photos and memories during the ceremony. The most recent Ceremony of Remembrance was held two weeks ago.

What a meaningful week celebrating our veterans across our community!

This week, VNA of The Treasure Coast was honored to join residents, staff, and family members for heartfelt Veterans Day celebrations at Renaissance Senior Living Center, Heron Cove, The Promenade, and Brookdale.

A special highlight was the dedication and reveal of our Veterans Honor Walls at Heron Cove, The Promenade, and Brookdale—a lasting tribute to the brave men and women who served our country with courage and sacrifice.

We extend our sincere thanks to Lulich & Attorneys for sponsoring The Promenade Honor Wall and to Millennium Cremation Service for generously sponsoring the Brookdale Honor Wall. Your support helped make these heartfelt tributes possible.

Each veteran was honored with a moving poem, presented with certificates of appreciation, and proudly pinned in recognition of their service. Our music therapy department filled the air with patriotic melodies, while everyone enjoyed light refreshments and the warmth of community.

These moments remind us that our veterans' legacy lives on through the connections we build, the respect we share, and the walls that forever commemorate their sacrifice.

To all who have served: Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering dedication to our freedom. Today and every day, we honor you. 🎖️

At the VNA, Veterans hold a special place in our hearts. Like you, we recognize the extraordinary commitment that these men and women have made to defend our Republic and the many sacrifices that they have made. Let’s all take time today to thank these heroes who have given so much to our country -- we salute you, we honor you, and we thank you—very, very much.
Happy Veterans Day!

This National Home Care Week (November 9-15, 2025), we thank all of the wonderful nurses, therapists, and aides who care for those at home, particularly older adults, allowing them to age safely in place. At the VNA, we offer myriad services for our seniors so they can continue to lead independent lives. From help with bathing to light housework to medication management, the VNA is there for you (vnatc.com).
Another big thank you to our caregivers at the VNA and across the United States – we are so grateful for your expertise and big hearts!

These men and women provide exceptional care for patients, and this week is an opportunity to not only recognize them but to raise awareness about the incredible care they provide. Many people do not realize that in numerous states, including Florida, Nurse Practitioners can prescribe most medications – just like an MD. These unsung heroes work very hard and are highly qualified, so we hope you’ll take the time to give them a much deserved ‘thank you’ today!

It’s time to talk bladders. We know, it’s not the most comfortable thing to do – but it’s important to get the conversation going – especially as we age. If you are having bladder issues, you’re not alone. According to the American Urological Association:
* More than 33 million American have an overactive bladder
* One in two women over the age of 65 are impacted by stress urinary incontinence.
* Bladder cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the U.S.
* One in two women over the age of 65 are impacted by stress urinary incontinence.
* Nocturia (frequent urination during the night) affects 1 in 3 adults over the age of 30.
If you or a loved one falls into this category, talk to your physician. Trust us, they’ve heard it before – it’s nothing to be embarrassed about. If in doubt, just look at the statistics above.

To show your support for fighting this disease that affects more than 6.2 million Americans who are living with it, don your purple, the official color of Alzheimer's awareness - symbolizing the fight against it. And if you or a loved one think you might be showing signs of early Alzheimer’s, such as forgetting many things that you used to easily remember (we’re not talking mere ‘getting older foggy mind’), then book an appointment with your physician. There are various tests they can run to help determine whether you might have Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia.
You can also access a professional to help determine the severity of your memory issues online. A good place to start is by visiting the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America website: https://alzfdn.org/
