The Sunshine State offers 663 miles of glorious beaches, but when most visitors think of Florida’s seashore, what comes to mind is South Beach or SoBe, as it is known. Located about 12 miles north and a world apart from the hustle and bustle and SoBe’s wild, loud, glittery nightlife, the City of Sunny Isles Beach is a picture-perfect paradise, an exceptional gem named “Florida’s Riviera.” What once was a small sleepy beach town is now a premier, family-oriented metropolis that enjoys a multicultural and diverse community and boasts a plethora of special events and, we are told there is always something new to explore and see. According to Sylvia Flores, Sunny Isles Beach Cultural and Community Services Director, “The City hosts several special events each month ranging from cultural heritage concerts and showcases to full-scale theatrical productions. The City recently introduced a new performance series called Gateway LIVE! which is bringing various cultural genres and live performances by talented musicians, theatre productions, and entertainers to the City. These are not your typical concerts. The best part of this quarterly series is that it is free for Sunny Isles Beach residents with a valid Resident ID Card. The City’s full calendar of events can be found at sibfl.net/calendar.” Besides its legendary beaches, Miami is celebrated for supporting the arts and hosting several major art festivals such as Art Basel, the Coconut Grove Art Festival and many others. “The City recently implemented a Public Arts Advisory Committee, which is
focused on nurturing a compelling and engaging art scene through creative place making and the installation of Continued on page 10

Women’s Chamber of Commerce of Miami-Dade County founder Thelma Gibson established the organization in 1984 with “the belief that business women of all races and nationalities should have a forum where they could gain momentum, express their thoughts, and come together as one voice – to be heard by all throughout
the County.” Thirty five years later, the nearly 200 members, led by President Diane Superville, continues the “main mission to empower women to grow personally and career-wise. We work to educate and mentor women,” she says. Superville came on board eight years ago. Five years into her membership, she joined the membership Continued on page 14

Jackson Health System is currently undergoing a massive $1.7 billion capital plan in new construction, renovations and upgrades across its facilities, including Jackson Memorial Hospital, Jackson North Medical Center, and Jackson South Medical Center. “$830 million of those dollars come from the bond program approved in November 2013,” said Isa Nuñez, vice president of Construction & Design at Jackson Health System. “Obviously, there’s also a lot of our capital dollars going into the renovations.” There are plenty of needs at Jackson Health System and “we want the improvements to line up with our strategic vision,” stated Nuñez. One of those is a new rehabilitation hospital, which is under construction at the Jackson Memorial Medical Center campus in downtown Miami. The Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson Memorial will be a 250,000 square foot facility with 96 beds that will “focus on traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, which will provide a continuum of care for patients at Ryder Trauma Center,” explained Nuñez. This new facility, expected to open in spring 2020, will also feature an Aquatic Center, as well as inpatient and outpatient gyms with state-of-the art equipment, which she called “a

INYBN is a proud member of the Key Biscayne Chamber of Commerce
We have previously written on the important steps required to start a business in Florida. Once you have taken the initiative of starting your Florida business, there are a number of items that are both necessary and critical to the maintenance of the business. We will presume that the choice of entity is either a limited liability company (“LLC”) or a corporation (regardless if it is a “Ccorp” or “S-corp”), which are among the more popular entity choices for asset protection purposes. Regardless of the entity, evidencing ownership is a good first step. In the case of any LLC, ownership is evidenced by issuance of Membership Certificate, while in the instance of a corporation, a Stock Certificate evidences ownership. Owners may want to keep the original certificates in their possession with a copy of the Certificate to be maintained in a corporate book along with log of the initial certificate issuances and any subsequent changes in the ownership certificates. With Florida corporations and LL C’s , onc e e st abl i she d , you will be required to file an annual report and pay an annual renewal fee to the Florida Secretary of State for maintaining the entity. Notices are mailed out in January of each year (typically to the corporate address listed at time of filing and also to the registered agent of the entity). The annual reports, which capture any changes to the entity, and the fees are required to paid by May 1st of the given year. Late payments are accepted but carry a substantial financial penalty. Ultimately, the entity will be administratively dissolved
if the annual fee and report are not filed by the third Friday in September. As mentioned, one of the primary benefits of establishing an entity for your business is to take advantage of the asset protection features that a particular entity may offer. To guard against a future creditor attempting to “pierce the corporate veil” and get to entity assets under the theory that the entity is a sham, it is important to act and operate like a business. Maintaining fully executed agreements for your entity is therefore another essential step. In the case of an LLC, an Operating Agreement which sets forth the initial manager(s) (i.e. officers) and members (i.e. owners) and the governing/operating authority, is essential. The Shareholder Agreement is the equivalent instrument for corporations. These agreements detail the day-to-day functioning of the entity and are particularly important when multiple stakeholders are associated with the entity. Depending on the maturity and success of the business, principals may want to fund such agreements with life insurance to protect against an unanticipated passing of a key owner. Other important agreements for the entity (if applicable) would include
employment agreements for key employees, retirement plans, customer/vendor agreements, and lease agreements for any real estate. Once the Operating Agreement and/or Shareholder Agreement is in place, make sure to have an appropriate set of Bylaws prepared. Additionally, entity owners should meet annually and document the meetings by preparing “minutes” or summaries of the meetings including important actions occurring at the meetings. During the course of the year, special meetings may be required to authorize a particular action. These special meetings should also be evidenced by written “minutes” which should be saved in the corporate records.

Upscale and Casual, American Social Brings You Classic Fare With a Twist By: Julie Valderrama INYBN Food Critic & Contributor gablesbreeze88@gmail.com
American Social is a new all-American restaurant and laidback yet elevated sports bar and hangout spot, with locations in Brickell, Las Olas, and Tampa. Following the success of its first location opening in Fort Lauderdale in 2013, the bistro soon expanded to Miami and Tampa, with a location in Orlando slated to open this summer. Serving brunch, lunch and dinner daily, its expansive menu includes large, shareable plates that satisfy just about any craving. American Social is a place where friends and families can come together for waterfront views, a social night out, or a place to watch the “big game.” Homespun pillows decorate booths that ensure the enjoyment of the 25 state-of-the-art HD TVs framing your favorite teams. Sip a local brew in a frosty glass or share one of many appetizers, as you relax and enjoy the company of friends and family. The serving staff is fluid and prompt, and dishes come out of the kitchen at perfect temperatures. Whether you order a perfect sunny side up egg on a bed of avocado and homebaked wheat bread or sybaritic portions of honey dipped, crispy chunks of pork belly smoked to the perfect degree of “well, ah’ll be”
southern charm, your taste buds will be seduced. The menu has a plethora of options, from appetizers, entrees to unbelievable desserts. Reasonably priced offerings prevail, and portions are generous and made to share. The entrees include “comfort" food sure to please any palate, and for the inner vegan, there are plentiful choices with organic locally sourced vegetables that satisfy even the most demure palate. Programming highlights include: Happy Hour — Monday through Friday from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. and seven days a week from 10:00 p.m. to close, American Social offers an awesome happy hour featuring a selection of bites including Pork Belly Empanadas, Smoked Wings, cheeseburgers,
and Pepperoni Pizza, ranging from $37, plus $3 Mi Campo Margaritas and house wines, $5 specialty shots, $8 specialty cocktails, and select liquor, beer, and wine half off. Weekend Brunch — Every Saturday, ladies receive complimentary bottomless mimosas from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Big Game’s Always On! — With 25 TVs throughout the indoor / outdoor restaurant, guests can enjoy watching just about any sports game from every angle. Burger Mondays — Every Monday, guests can enjoy the AmSo Burger (8 oz. AmSo beef blend, AmSo sauce, leaf lettuce, tomato, Vidalia onion, and American cheese on a brioche bun) at $5 all day. Pizza & Wine Wednesdays — On Wednesdays, American Social offers its pizzas at $10 each with select bottles of wine at $10. The four managing partners, Paul Greenberg, Rick Mijares, and Laurie and Tony Mijares Jr., created this wonderful venue as a place to meet, relax and break the “oh so delicious" sourdough bread. Their marketing team has ensured entertainment beyond standard fare. The creativity of the choices (chocolate-covered bacon on the warm, moist, rich brownie, topped with vanilla ice cream) were so sinful, I confessed the next day. The design of the venue encompasses
comfort with an edge of quality found in private clubs up north. A long bar anchors the Southern wall with lots of wood and homey leather booths indoors and a hopscotch of tables outside, with umbrellas wafting in the river breezes that edges the northern side of the restaurant. The Miami River is the edge of the restaurant, and boats can pull up and order, adding to its unique charm. A DJ spins records on certain days, and I am sure it’s just a matter of time before American Social becomes the place to come to enjoy viewing a soccer match, college football, or the sunset. There are few places as charming and unique on the Miami River. For a sporty brunch, lunch, dinner or after hour drinks, this is where you want to be. A sports bar with an elevated experience, far better and above the rest. Upcoming programming at American Social includes: Summer Soccer Tournaments — American Social is heating things up as the sports bar for this summer’s FIFA Women’s World Cup (June 7 - July 7), Copa America (June 14 - July 7), and CONCACAF Gold Cup (June 15 - July 7). American Social Brickell provides the ultimate viewing experience with 25 TVs offering optimal views from every corner and will feature game day specials including $3 tequila shots, $5 Jameson, $6 Guiness, and $15 buckets

of Budweiser & Bud Light. Father’s Day — Aside from a menu filled with dad’s favorites: burgers, wings, beer, and all the sports, American Social will have cigar rollers onsite and a special raffle exclusive to dads where they’ll have the chance to win a round of golf for a group of four and tickets to a Dolphins game during the NFL season. Each dad will receive a complimentary raffle ticket during brunch on Sunday, May 16 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. National Bourbon Day — On Friday, June 14, American Social will celebrate National Bourbon Day with $8 Smoked Old Fashions all day long. Made with Basil Hayden Bourbon, bitters, orange peel, filthy cherry, and smoked on maple wood, guests can cheers to the national “holiday” right on the water with sweeping views of the Miami River. Valet parking is available, and the establishment is just a few steps from Metrorail and Brickell City Centre. And if you are lucky, sitting quietly sipping your bourbon or mojito while listening to the river, you just may, just may, hear the sound of the Blues wafting from where Tobacco Road Used to be.

Coral Gables Invites You To Savor the Flavors During Culinary Month in June By: Christian Portilla info@roamfreewrites.com
June is for foodies according to the Coral Gables Business Improvement District (B.I.D.). Taciana Amador, the executive director of the B.I.D., says the weekly-event-turned-monthly has been a great way to expose visitors to the culinary hub in the area. Coral Gables has seen viral moments like the time it hosted the Umbrella Sky Project or its popular music series Giralda Under The Stars offering outdoor dining and music by local bands; now it's hoping to create the same buzz around the restaurants of the area. For June, the B.I.D. is excited to activate 29 of the area's dining destinations, with restaurants offering 20 to 30 percent in discounts. Amador says the promo allows patrons to try different eateries and explore their options with anything from three-course meals to discounts on pubs and casual dining options. The B.I.D. didn't expect the movement to grow the way it did and created the platform for a week, dubbing it “Coral Gables Restaurant Week.” Now in its 12th year, the rebranded event is the Coral Gables Culinary Month. The restaurant week is still a pillar of the brand but has grown as two events: Coral Gables Culinary Month, which takes place throughout June and features special events across the city and in local restaurants and Coral Gables Restaurant Week, which which runs through June 23, when participating restaurants will offer prix fixe menus. Prix fixe lunch menus at participating restaurants range from $13.95 to $29, and dinner menus range from $20 to $48. Not only are the restaurants activating their menus but Amador and her team underscore that restaurants will host special events, from tasting dinners to mixology classes and wine pairings. Also going down is the Bark Crawl, a canine twist on a bar crawl that

will take dog owners and their pups on a journey through the district's restaurants that feature outdoor spaces and offer up drinks and pet-friendly treats. Martin Lynch, co-founder of John Martin's Restaurant and Irish Pub agrees that participating in the month long event has been a positive experience for business. "John Martin’s has been a part of Coral Gables Restaurant Week since the very beginning, twelve years ago. We strongly believe in the importance of supporting events that engage the community, and Restaurant Week, in particular, gives us a chance to entice customers with our summer promotions." Aside from the restaurants, the B.I.D. will also be partnering with the free ride service Freebee for "Freebees on the Freebee" where riders will have the chance to participate in a Coral Gables trivia challenge and compete for prizes from local restaurants. "Don't just come to try a three-course meal at participating restaurants; this year we have about ten different restaurants who are hosting in-store events. It's much more about the one program and really about cultivating a sense of community," underlines Amador.
Amador says the B.I.D has been around for every twenty years, but one of the things she's the proudest of isn't an event or promotion but the fact that the residents of the area support the B.I.D enough to keep it around. She explains that constituents vote every five years to renew the B.I.D, and so far they've continued to find the B.I.D essential to
Under The Stars. It's about creating events that stimulate the local economy while giving our residents great family events." Amador indicates that one of the reasons the city sees the importance of creating a B.I.D and maintaining it is that Coral Gables is a historic city. From its landscape to some of the area's oldest retailers, the City believes in preserving its rich history while welcoming a wide crosssection of newcomers to the Gables. The B.I.D's secret is that it has been able to create a diverse neighborhood by accepting and supporting new concepts and a range of entrepreneurs who want to call the area home for work and play. "Coral Gables has always been known as the City Beautiful, and we have a great mix of tried-and-true restaurants that have been here since the beginning and have grown with the area. Look at Caffe Abbracci, John Martin's Irish Pub & Restaurant, even retailers such as Jae's Jewelers- there's an established community that is Coral Gables, and there's also the opportunity for a new business that aspires to come here. We

their area and for the growth of the local economy. "Our members are choosing to tax themselves for the services that fall under the scope of our B.I.D. We prepare something with our entire membership so they can see in a glance as a part of our annual report. I love the programming that we do, and our communityfriendly events have evolved and are now adored. We have our annual Halloween at The Mile that's been going on for over 20 years because we create a safe environment. We have great partners that help us put on these events, and we're on our 8th season of Giralda
have a great mix of fine dining, great customer service, and the newcomers who are being embraced. We're happy to have this mix and rich culture that has made Coral Gables what it is now."

Oolite Arts Seeks Bedrock for Local Arts Network The ArtCenter/South Florida has a new name: Oolite Arts! In case you’re pondering as we were what Oolite means, we reached out to the folks at the ArtCenter to find out just what is going on over there with all the changes. We caught up with Dennis Scholl, CEO of Oolite Arts, who shared with us some of Oolite Arts/ArtCenter South Florida’s exciting plans for the future. “You may have noticed that our 35-year-old arts organization has a new name!” remarks Scholl. “Originally founded as ArtCenter/South Florida, we are now Oolite Arts, a name we think reflects who we are and where we are going. Oolite is a sedimentary rock just beneath our city’s streets; it’s the bedrock of Miami. As an arts institution, we want to be the bedrock of the visual arts community – a place that provides artists with the resources and professional development they need to do their best work.” If you haven’t taken a stroll

“At the same time, Oolite Arts also helps Miamians learn more about contemporary art through exhibitions, curator talks, studio visits, and art classes.” Asked about the criteria for artist residencies, Scholl explains that “Our artist residencies are a fundamental part of what we do. Each year, a jury of artists and curators pick a cohort of exceptional artists for the residency. Not only do we offer free studio space, which is increasingly i mp or t a nt a s r e nt s continue to rise, we also provide them with direct support for projects and access to Oolite Arts’ network of curators and artists from across the country.” As for some of the Grand opening of ArtCenter South Florida.

“We now have two Cinematic Arts residents, who received $50,000 to create a microbudget, narrative feature film, which is often a stepping stone to a theater release,” says Scholl. “Just like Miami’s visual artists, the city’s indie film scene is growing, and we want to help accelerate that
growth and showcase the talent we have here.” Scholl tells us, “On May 15th, we launched a new program called Art Sounds, a series that will feature a celebrated visual artist in conversation with a musician that person admires. Musicians and artists have long been inspirations for each other’s work, and this series will explore that relationship in depth. For this first event, we had artist David Muller in conversation with Arthur Baker, a record producer and DJ best known for his legendary track ‘Planet Rock’ with Afrika Bambaataa.” “Also, all summer long, we will be hosting art classes at 924 Lincoln Road. You can see the schedule on our site, oolitearts.org. The classes range from oils and watercolors to cellphone photography and screen printing. All levels welcome!” Scholl wanted our readers to
know that, “In addition to our new name, we also recently announced that Oolite Arts has purchased property for a new home in the City of Miami, at 75 NW 72nd St., so that we can grow to meet the needs of our visual arts community. On that site, we will have not just our signature studio residency program, but an improved exhibition space, a theater, makers space and more. As we build and transition into our new home, we’re getting to know our new neighbors, to see what type of programming we can offer that is responsive to the cultural character and needs of the area.” “In just a short amount of time, we’re looking at a new home, a new name and new programming. It’s an exciting time to be at Oolite Arts.” expounds Scholl. You can read more about the move, artist residencies, programs, and events by visiting oolitearts.org/ourstory

‘Miami Dominoes’ Subject of Gallery’s Photographic Exhibition

It’s hard not to smile when driving on US1 near the University of Miami Campus. Images from the game of Dominoes, painted on the gray concrete structures that support Miami Dade's Metrorail start appearing from Stanford Drive all the way to South Alhambra Circle. When Australian artist Bo Droga and his team of volunteers complete the project, a total of 46 painted pylons will grace that path. “Miami Dominoes” is the current exhibition at Commenoz Gallery and showcases the photographs of this on site project, a great and visually fun, playful and thought provoking idea gifted to the City of Miami by the artist. It has taken him a year and half of studies, of acquiring licenses and gathering volunteers who would be willing to obtain the required requisites that the City was asking for in order to start painting the
one. Why? because the number of dots for each one of the stencils changes, and none of the pylons are equal in size. Therefore, Bo Droga and his team have to measure every single one to make su re that each painting is aligned. The artist explains: “‘MIAMI DOMINOES’ is a site-specific installation that is enhancing the concrete infrastructure. For thousands of students, locals and visitors, the Rail Station is a critical gateway to access the university, their homes and the local business services, in-
cluding shops, medical centers and much more. Unfortunately, the heavy concrete structure underneath the railway tracks is practical but not visually appealing. Turning those structures into a set of Dominoes game pieces transcends all ages, all cultural and socio economic backgrounds. It has created an element of pride for the local neighborhood and is being enjoyed by the greater Miami community and visiting tourists. My sculptural and site specific artworks stem from my interest in urban landscapes,

the day and then pick up their children when school is out. The painting of the pylons is not an easy task. A whole day of work is spent painting only

specifically in the study of the relationship between order and chaos across urban developments.” Since his first exhibition in Melbourne, Australia in 1977, he has exhibited in other places such as Suva, Fiji, where he was awarded the Fiji Art Award; Edinburgh, Scotland; London, UK; Budapest, Hungary; Paris, France and New York City. In 2018, he was one of several artists to receive the Miami Visual Arts award known as the “Ellie’s Award” for the concept of “Miami Dominoes.” For the current exhibition at Commenoz Gallery in Key Biscayne, a selection of photographs from the Miami Dominoes project is being shown in addition to his other line of abstract aerial views of cityscapes barely recognizable. Exhibition can be visited until June 20.

There are several capital projects that are underway such as the Utility Line Undergrounding; the Central Island Drainage Project which is currently in its final stages; the construction of two additional pedestrian bridges to reach new heights over Collins and already completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Beach Sand Renourishment Project, which brought approximately 150,000 cubic yards of sand to the beach with more expected to be added in the future. “One of the most impactful projects is the Utility Line Undergrounding along Collins Avenue, citywide undergrounding of FPL and other overhead utility lines and equipment, installation of decorative street lighting and the removal of utility poles,” said Chris Russo, Sunny Isles Beach City Manager. “The City has been working for the last three years to lay underground conduit the entire length of Collins Avenue. The undergrounding of overhead utility lines on FPL poles will minimize power outages due to extreme windstorm and hurricane conditions while also improving the aesthetic of the City.” When asked if there were any new or improved services for residents and visitors, City Manager Russo stated, “One of the major improvements of quality of life for residents and visitors is the completion of the Roadway Rehabilitation and Repaving Project by the Florida Department of Transportation. The project consisted of repaving and restriping Collins Avenue and enhancing the driving experience along Collins Avenue;
it also improved pedestrian crossings. Traffic signals at various locations and pedestrian ramps were upgraded to current standards, and signage and pavement markings were added to the road.” “The North Bay Road Emergency/Pedestrian Bridge recently opened, connecting two main residential areas and providing safer access to the school, parks and community center.” continues Russo. “Last hurricane season, the City introduced a new emergency notification system called SIBAlert, which enables citizens to receive accurate and up-to-date notices and warnings from the City of Sunny Isles Beach dur-

Mayor Scholl goes on to say, “Of course, the pristine beach is the ultimate playground in Sunny Isles Beach for residents and visitors alike. From beach volleyball to jet ski rentals, the beach offers an oasis of relaxation and activity. Located on the ocean at Sunny Isles Boulevard and Collins Avenue is the Newport Fishing Pier, which is open for fishing and viewing a new perspective of our world class skyline. Did you know that when the Sunny Isles Beach Fishing Pier was first constructed in the late 1930s, it was Miami-Dade County’s first public fishing pier? The Pier was also designated a historical site in 1982.” Come for the sun, stay for the food and R&R!

2019 Educator of Note is Announced by Young Patronesses of the Opera
Dr. Joy Galliford named Educator of Note.
Since 1994, the Young Patronesses of the Opera (YPO) has honored music teachers in Miami-Dade County with their Educator of Note Award. This award recognizes outstanding Miami-Dade County elementary and middle school teachers in public, private or parochial schools who creatively motivate and inspire young children in the field of music education. To date, YPO has recognized 27 excellent music teachers in our community. This year’s recipient was Dr. Joy Galliford, an outstanding elementary school music
teacher in our community who holds certifications in the Early Childhood Music and Movement Association, Musikgarten Curriculum, National Guild of Piano Teachers as well as a Florida Child Care and Education Program Director Credential and Florida Professional Educator’s Certificate for Music K-12. She is known to her students as “Dr. Joy” and teaches music at Frederick Douglass Elementary School and at the Key Biscayne K-8 Center. Dr. Joy is a teacher trainer, arts advocate and researcher. She says, “Everyone has a story, in fact, beginning at week twenty-four in utero, one begins to hear their very first story. This fully functioning auditory system allows the baby to hear the sounds and feel the emotions presented to its mother because she is in a concert hall.” Galliford also serves as the Executive Director for Friends of South Florida Music, a non-profit organization that provides music education to underserved communities in South Florida, giving her the opportunity “to expose young children to all types of mu-
sic in an effort to unlock their potential.” Yolanda Ellis, Principal at Frederick Douglass Elementary, shared her thoughts about Joy: “For more than three years, Dr. Joy has dedicated her time working with her partners of Friends of South Florida Music and fundraising to be able to provide instruments and weekly music and movement lessons to our students and teachers.
Each week, the teachers and students are always excited to attend her class. Talk about improving the lives of children, the joy on the faces of parents as their child performs with Dr. Joy and a live band is absolutely priceless.” In addition, Joy is a songwriter and the co-author of Experience the Music, a literacybased curriculum using music
activities that engage children in singing, focused listening, movement and the playing of rhythm instruments. Dr. Galliford was honored at YPO’s annual May Award’s luncheon and was presented with a Waterford Apple, and a $2000 check. The funding is from an annuity provided by the Ethel and W. George Kennedy Family Foundation.

great initiative here at Jackson Memorial Medical Center”. Each floor in all of the hospital buildings is being modernized, especially the patient areas, and “is being freshened up at least with cosmetic changes,” noted Nuñez. A similar plan is being implemented at Jackson North, formerly known as Parkway Regional. There, renovations are underway at the surgery and medical departments with modernization of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and physical therapy suite. The building’s façade is being painted, and the roof and elevators are being renovated. “We’re giving a face lift to the entire facility, inside and out,” said Nuñez. Jackson South is a bit of a hybrid with an older building plus a new tower that was added in the last decade. The at-

blood products, human milk, and blood specimen collection and tracking. • Implementation of an eMAR (electronic Medication Administration Records) technology which was integrated with CPOE (Computerized Provider Order Entry), pharmacy, and laboratory systems to maximize safe point-of-care processes and results. • Implementation of a CDS (Clinical Decision Support) which provides for the “five rights” of medication
that serve patients and healthcare providers. Additionally, investments have been made in updating data center infrastructure, servers, storage archives, and backup systems. • Investment in the deployment of advanced systems designed to significantly increase Jackson’s cybersecurity posture. In addition, mobile/ portable device security policy and practices were applied to Jacksonowned and/or user-owned devices. Optimistic about the future of JHS,

tempt here is to update the older tower to match the newer one. Here, they had an Intensive Care Unit floor that was a shell space; so, they built that out and it is already open. The medical surgery floors will also have eight brand new labor and post-partum rooms. The hospital’s behavioral health unit is also being revamped. “All of these projects have been going on actively for at least one year. For some of them, we started in smaller increments,” pointed out Nuñez. In Doral, construction is underway for a new medical center. Jackson West Medical Center is located off the Palmetto Expressway and Northwest 25th street. “We’re looking into the future and implementing our strategy,” Nuñez said. “We wanted to extend our footprint to the west side of the Miami-Dade County.” The new medical center, scheduled to open in summer 2020, will be the home of a 100-bed hospital, a diagnostic center, outpatient clinics, an adult and a pediatric emergency room, and a children’s ambulatory pavillion. “It’s a full site, and it’s very impressive to see, fully visible from the expressway.” Another major initiative is Jackson’s network of urgent care centers. “We’ve opened up four in Miami-Dade – Keystone Point, Doral, Country Walk and Cutler Bay,” indicated Nuñez. Jackson began opening UHealth Jackson Urgent Care Centers in 2016, which
is also computerizing all of its records, especially since electronic medical records are now a requirement. “Jackson Health System needed to invest in technology to keep up with all the regulatory requirements imposed on all healthcare organizations through the HITECH ACT to improve patient health outcomes through the use of our Cerner EHR and infrastructure,” explained Michael Garcia, Senior Vice president, Chief Information Officer at Jackson Health System He went on to say that “the $1.7 billion Jackson Miracle Building Program provides for over $100 million over ten years for various far-reaching IT/Technology projects.” Some of the more significant aspects of the IT/Technology program include: • Upgrade of the EHR (Employee Health Record) with technology that provides for regulatory compliance, which all healthcare organizations are required to conform to as part of the HITECH Act. Many of these and additional improvements are intended to improve patient outcomes. Through this investment, Jackson has achieved the HIMSS Stage 6 designation, and that designation provided the following: • Implementation of a closed-loop process using positive patient identification (PPID) through barcode scanning for administering medications,

administration and other 'rights' for blood product, human milk administrations, and blood specimen processing. Also, a more advanced level of CDS provides guidance triggered by physician documentation related to protocols and outcomes in the form of variance and compliance alerts. In addition, Jackson has also implemented an ordering advisory decision support solution for radiology diagnostic studies. • Introduction of a patient portal, enabling patients to access their medical records securely, and a Health Information Exchange (HIE) enabling providers to query their patient’s records from multiple organizations. • Refreshing and modernizing the antiquated, outdated, core IT infrastructure across all facilities throughout the Jackson Health System, including the advanced wired and wireless networks
Nuñez remarked that “the level of care and what we’re equipped to treat is amazing. We’re expanding our footprint around the county and renovating our existing facilities to mirror the great care we provide our residents.” Josie Gulliksen Josie Gulliksen is a freelance writer and major arts advocate and enthusiast who loves everything cultural and is excited to live in such a thriving community.

committee, then became a board member in 2016 and rose to President (a oneyear position). The women are mostly entrepreneurs with an average age of 25 to their 50s. The Chamber leadership mentors the younger groups and host workshops to help them increase their business. “I consider us a boutique chamber where we build relationships of women supporting women,” observes Superville. Breakfast Before Business is the Chamber’s monthly event held the third Wednesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. It is usually hosted by a member at their business or at the Chamber’s offices in Coral Gables. “It’s an opportunity for a member to highlight their business and it’s also great for networking,” points out Superville. At a recent workshop, the speaker was an expert on networking, and the following month, the Chamber offered a program on empowerment and motivating women. “We aim to host a monthly workshop and host it at a time that’s convenient for our members. It can vary from evening to day,” says Superville. The Women’s Chamber also has a monthly target for evening networking events that can be held anywhere in Miami-Dade County. Its biggest event of the year is the Thelma Gibson Awards Ceremony named after its founder and honoring women in the community. This year, they will be paying tribute women in the non-profit world; last year, women in the media were honored. In 2017, the Chamber honored the first female ship Captain, Celebrity Cruise Line’s Kate McCue as well as Celebrity’s CEO Lisa Lutoff-Perlo. “The ceremony usually happens in September or October. We are currently planning this year’s event,” notes Superville. The Chamber also works with Motivational Edge to provide women more exposure and mentoring. “Last year, we did baskets for Thanksgiving and a held a food drive, and this year, we want to surpass how many families we service for Thanksgiving,” shares Superville. The Women’s Chamber also extends support through advertising and at-

hoods for 2019. Because we are the Women’s Chamber of Miami-Dade, we want to reach out to other areas of Miami-Dade,” remarks Superville. Increasing fundraising is another goal which the Chamber hopes to achieve by hosting networking events with “orga-
nizations like perhaps No More Tears and any organization with a motivational edge,” she says. Superville, herself a small business owner of a travel consultancy, knows well the importance of the Chamber’s existence and its programming. Her work as a board member, along with that of 11 others including bankers, lawyers and professionals in marketing and social media, is vital to the success of women in business. The Women’s Chamber has several committees including membership, sponsorship, social media, marketing and events. The Chamber’s membership application is on its website. The $150 annual fee includes a discounted rate on events, a listing on its website and in programs, as well as the opportunity to host an event. “There are several options for highlighting your business and different levels of membership,” underlines Superville.

Stage Play ‘Love, Sex and Marriage’ Debuts in Miami on June 8 “Love, Sex, and Marriage: The Stage Play” by Tre Floyd — an explosive story line filled with love, drama, comedy and sexuality — is excited to announce it will be coming to Miami on June 8, 2019. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m. at The Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater Cultural Arts Complex (819 NW 2nd Ave., Miami, FL 33136). The Black Archives and its programming are sponsored by the Southeast Overtown Park West Community Redevelopment Agency, Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs, Institute of Museums and Library Services, and Florida African American Heritage Preservation Network, tickets are now available for at the Lyric Theater’s box office and on Eventbrite. “Love Sex, and Marriage: The Stage Play” is a groundbreaking stage play demystifying the relationships between homosexual and heterosexual men. The play gives an entertaining encounter of a music superstar, Darrin, who the ladies love and guys want to be. Darrin is a closeted homosexual man, who’s signed to a homophobic music label. The plot thickens once Darrin’s manager finds out about his secret and decides to pair him with a female artist on the label to hide his true identity. The plan of discretion is working as planned until Darrin meets a guy he can't resist.
Tre Floyd, director and producer, is a native of Mississippi and wrote and produced his first stage play in high school. As a teenager, Tre began to perfect his craft by formally training in ballet, jazz, and modern dance. While pursuing an accounting degree, Tre’s love for the arts led him to continue perfecting his passion by learning the ins and outs about stage and film within his Theatre Arts minor. Throughout the years, he has trained dancers and performed in front of thousands, both acting and dancing. Love Sex and Marriage: The Stage Play is Tre’s first major stage production, which is the prequel to his web-series “Love Sex and Marriage.” Tre draws inspiration from his community, family, and friends. “I’m ecstatic to include Miami in the eleven city tour of “Love, Sex and Marriage!” This production opens the dialogue between the LGBTQ and African American community,” said Tre Floyd, Director & Producer. “This play is enjoyable for every ethnicity, genders and ages and will leave everyone laughing, informed, and hopefully with bigger hearts,” stated Floyd. Ticket s a r e ava i lable at w w w. LSMMiami.eventbrite.com (NON REFUNDABLE). Paid parking is available on the southeast corner of NW 8 Street and 2nd Avenue.

Sub Shop Opens in Downtown Miami
Vinaigrette Sub Shop will begin serving heaven on a hoagie roll in mid-June 2019. The highly-anticipated concept from chef/restaurateur Danny Serfer and business partner Ryan Roman (of Blue Collar and Mignonette fame) will deliver an array of classic and Italian specialty subs with simple, yet superior ingredients, great bread and a quickness of service much needed for its downtown Miami location. Vinaigrette Sub Shop will offer Miami residents an approachable dining option for lunch or dinner and a cannot-be-beat catering option for Downtown and Brickell businesses. Sandwiches and salads will be made-to-order from a single all-day menu, with house specialties as well as the option for customers to dictate their own custom meal. Unique to, and at the heart of the concept, is the namesake vinaigrette – a special blend of oil, vinegar, Calabrian chiles, Pecorino Romano cheese, herbs and spices that took Chef Daniel Serfer months to perfect. It is the must-have sandwich topper no matter what meats you choose. “Mignonette came from our shared love of raw bar and the desire to open the type of restaurant we loved to eat at. Vinaigrette follows that same thread,” offers Roman. “With Vinaigrette, we want to have a place that people frequent and call their own. There is some-
thing special about a truly delicious sandwich.” This will be made evident in the meticulously sourced menu of high quality Italian cold cuts like 18-month imported prosciutto, Calabrian salami, Scamorza and truffled pecorino. The no nonsense menu is divided into four sections: Classics, Italian Specialties, Vegetarian/Vegan, and Salads. The bread options include a custom baked seeded sesame roll from La Parisienne Bakery.

Galeria Adelmo is proud to present an exhibition of remarkable photography by seasoned veteran photographer, Philip Avello. The exhibition will open to the public with an artist’s reception on Friday, June 28, 2019 and will be on view through Tuesday, July 23, 2019. Philip S. Avello was born in Cienfuegos, Cuba in 2950. He migrated with his family to the United States and grew into a native New Yorker, graduating with a Bachelor’s and Masters of Fine Arts in 1976. Avello had his first one-man show of both drawings and sculpture in New York in 1974. Philip has participated in many group shows both in New York and Miami. While inspired by larger than life master artists like Picasso, Calder, Pollack, Klee and Brancusi, his true inspiration is to simply create art that is atheistically accessible to everyone. Live entertainment will be provided by Adela Garita, a rising star emerging saxophone artist in the Miami area.

Ballet Flamenco La Rosa Presents Two Evenings of Traditional Flamenco Ballet Flamenco La Rosa (BFLR), an international flamenco dance company based in Miami, brings the sizzle this summer with the premiere of its latest Flamenco performances Alma Flamenca and Fuerza Flamenca. Made up of dancers and musicians from Spain, Latin America and the U.S., the performances will take place on consecutive weekends in June 2019. On Saturday, June 15th at 8 p.m. the company will present Alma Flamenca at Aventura Arts & Cultural Center and on Saturday, June 22nd at 8 p.m. will be the presentation of Fuerza Flamenca at the North Beach Bandshell. Led by the world-renowned master teacher, choreographer, soloist and Artistic Director Ilisa Rosal, BFLR presents the spellbinding and earthy power of authentic Flamenco dance at its best. With its spectacular footwork, precise athleticism and vibrant energy, the performances are at once sensual and spiritual, raw and refined, and filled with both restrained passion and electrifying release – making it a powerful and passionate language of expression. These productions will incorporate live music, created and arranged by a guitarist and singer, brought directly
from Spain to collaborate with the company dancers and choreographers. Born in Medieval Andalucía (southern Spain), in the Middle Ages, when Europeans, Arabs, Jews, Gypsies, and Africans co-existed in a Golden Age of art and learning, this art form has fascinated writers, poets, composers, painters, sculptors, choreographers, and audiences for centuries. It has developed into one of the most respected and cherished music and dance forms, evolving into the highest level of technique and artistic expression that has led to it being declared a World Heritage Treasure by UNESCO. “Both evenings will connect with the soul of pure Flamenco music and dance. Audiences can expect a breathtaking theater experience full of its earthy power, spellbinding movement, subtle nuances, and explosive energy,” remarks Rosal. “The summer performances also mark a milestone in BFLR’s history as I’m returning to teach our classes after a pause to focus on my health. I can now put myself fully into it, mind, body and soul, and continue our legacy in offering the community diverse artistic experiences under one roof.”
