Thousands of families are on the front doorstep of foster care, but they don’t have to be. Better Together strengthens families by helping parents address the root cause of their struggles and build a lasting support system. Volunteer host families give children a safe place to live while mentors and professional staff help parents regain stability through the nonprofit’s mentoring programs. Ninety-eight percent of children served stay out of the state system. The key? Community.
“Everybody should have someone to call in a crisis,” says Better Together CEO Megan Rose. Megan built the organization after working more than 10 years in the Florida child welfare system and becoming frustrated by its limitations. Her entrepreneurial and relational approach has attracted attention in Florida and across the nation. The Manhattan Institute named Megan among its Civil Society Fellows, and she received its Civil Society Award in 2019. Better Together has also been named The Community Foundation’s 2020 Nonprofit Rising Organization of the Year and SWFL Inc.’s 2022 Nonprofit of the Year.
Better Together expanded from its beginnings in Naples in 2015 to serving 48 Florida counties today. By 2030, the nonprofit aims to help families statewide.

THE FACE OF PHILANTHROPY
Chef Vincenzo Betulia and Campagna Hospitality Group made waves in the Naples dining scene last season with a bold new concept: Rouge Clandestine Steak. The idea was born after Vincenzo noticed people increasingly craving comfort foods during the 2020 pandemic closures. Rouge Clandestine Steak blends the allure of classic steakhouse dining with a retro, intimate atmosphere, perfect for those seeking a luxurious, nostalgic dining experience.
Located in the back of The French, the 18-seat, semi-private dining room has transformed into a lush, 1960s-inspired space. With red velvet drapery, hanging florals, classic French tile flooring, ruby red banquettes and a record player spinning Frank Sinatra and John Coltrane, Rouge Clandestine Steak evokes the glamour and charm of a New York or Chicago steakhouse. This hidden gem focuses on prime cuts of meat, each selected for their marbling and flavor profile.
Rouge Clandestine Steak has strengthened The French’s reputation by “Raising the Steaks”—bringing top-tier steaks to The French’s main dining room menu. The French, already a notable name in Naples, was recently honored with the Two Glass Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator, placing it among an exclusive list of only 900 restaurants in the continental United States to hold this distinction.
Beyond the restaurant scene, 2024 has marked significant growth for Tulia Catering and Events, which expanded its reach in Naples. Tulia Catering has curated experiences that range from intimate Michelin-style home dinners to grand events for hundreds, including luxury yacht and private aviation catering, as well as large-scale galas for 500 to 750 guests.
With Rouge Clandestine Steak, The French’s continued accolades and Tulia Catering’s ambitious growth, Chef Vincenzo Betulia and Campagna Hospitality Group the future of dining in Naples.

BUILDING AND REMODELING
With a new office overlooking Fifth Avenue South, MDK Construction , a preeminent builder in the US and Canada, is poised to elevate bespoke home building and remodeling in Florida.
Founder Mitch Kleinstein enlisted local business development and operations expert George Klein to usher in his firm’s commitment to the highest quality, and personalized service. Mitch is 100% involved in every project. “If you’re hiring MDK, you’re hiring me,” he says.
Mitch’s hands-on work bringing luxury homes to life through extensive collaboration with architects and designers for 30 years has earned him the reputation for making the impossible possible. With a goal of immaculately tailoring interiors and exteriors to his clients’ needs, Mitch vests not just his time and discerning aesthetic into every project but that of a coterie of highly skilled tradesmen whom MDK has partnered with for decades.
The results speak for themselves: An urban residence was an Interior Design 2020 “Best of the Year Award” winner, and The Wall Street Journal featured its undulating spiral staircase. An estate home with bronze fascia curving the perimeter and a hand-carved ash ceiling won both the prestigious 2022 Architecture MasterPrize Award and the 2023 International Architecture Award.
When the goal is a one-of-a-kind home, look no further than MDK. It’s only a matter of time before the firm’s work in Florida will earn additional accolades.

The structural heart team at Physicians Regional Healthcare System (PRHS) is transforming cardiac care through a collaborative, patient-centric approach.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure that provides life-changing treatment for patients with aortic stenosis—a condition where blood flow from the heart is restricted due to narrowing of the aortic valve, which places extra strain on the heart. TAVR offers hope and is an alternative to traditional openheart surgery for individuals with symptomatic aortic valve disease. The procedure involves threading a collapsible, artificial valve on the tip of a catheter and guiding it to the heart using X-ray guidance. Once positioned appropriately, the new valve is expanded, immediately restoring unrestricted blood flow.
In just under four years, the structural heart team at PRHS has performed over 450 TAVR procedures, with more than 90% of patients being discharged after a single night’s stay in the hospital. This highly advanced procedure allows patients to expect full recovery in under 2 weeks, compared to traditional open-heart methods that require a week’s stay in the hospital and a minimum of two months for recovery.
Physicians Regional Healthcare System is fully committed to structural heart care which ensures patients in the region have access to the most advanced heart treatments close to home.
