ADVENTHEALTH CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS
AdventHealth and Flagler Schools have agreed to a fiveyear partnership that represents a $750,000 commitment from the health system to provide a mental health fund for students, employ an athletic trainer for each of Flagler County’s two high schools and establish more classroom to career pathways for graduates.
“This agreement is the result of establishing a great partnership with AdventHealth,” said Flagler Schools Superintendent Cathy Mittelstadt. “This will enable our students to have access to muchneeded services targeting their physical and mental health.”
Ron Jimenez, CEO of AdventHealth Palm Coast, said the agreement represents new access to much needed services for families in Flagler County. The organization will provide $10,000 a year for five years to pay for new ways to help identify students in need of early intervention as well as mental health services for students and their families.
AdventHealth will also provide athletic trainers for Flagler Palm Coast and Matanzas high school, an estimated $500,000 commitment. The health system will help establish enhanced services for school athletic programs including concussion protocols and testing, pre-participation physical with screenings for cardiac abnormalities and training for employees and volunteers on the use of CPR and AEDs.
AdventHealth and Flagler Schools also aim to establish more career opportunities for graduates such as coaching programs, job fairs and more.
“The Flagler County Education Foundation and Flagler County Schools are excited to partner with AdventHealth to make a difference in the lives of our students and their families,” said Joe Rizzo, executive director of the foundation. “Community partners are becoming increasingly important to the success of our students and our schools.”

ROY SIEGER TO CHAIR FLORIDA AIRPORTS COUNCIL
Flagler Executive Airport Director Roy Sieger has been installed as the chairman of the Florida Airports Council for the coming year, increasing his leadership role with the organization he has been a member of for 15 years.
“This is a great honor to lead this prestigious group of aviation industry leaders,” Sieger said. “My involvement in these additional roles has enabled me to stay abreast of the aviation industry, and assist in shaping aviation legislation that has brought favorable recognition to Flagler County and the Flagler Executive Airport.”
HUMAN SERVICES PROGRAM MANAGER TO RETIRE AUG. 13
Human Services Program Manager Janet Nickels will retire Aug. 13, after 18 years.
“Janet should be recognized for her compassion with the multitude of people that she assisted in their time of need,” said Health and Human Services Director Joyce Bishop. “There isn’t anything she wouldn’t do, or didn’t do, for the residents of Flagler County.”
Nickels partnered with Pastor Charles Silano to create Access Flagler First, which operated for nearly 10 years and regularly served hundreds of families with a variety of unmet needs.
“Food distribution, free haircuts, free cell phones, and face-to-face time with area agencies were available to all,” Bishop said.
Nickels coordinated the Flagler Resource Council and held monthly gatherings for providers. She also established the Flagler County Resource Directory as an offshoot of that networking.
“Janet Nickels has been such a positive force here in Flagler County,” said Administrator Heidi Petito. “She will be greatly missed.”
