MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

PLEASE ALLOW ME TO

personally welcome you to Wellington and to our Chamber of Commerce. We are a boutique chamber comprised of the best of the best professionals doing business in Wellington.

Our mission statement reads as follows: As we re-emerge from these unprecedented times, we are all trying to figure out this new current normal. That includes your Chamber of Commerce. Our offices have been working 24/7 throughout the past year for our members. We have been thrilled to showcase, via video and social media, a “Hitting the Road: We are OPEN” series where we showcased our members daily. We have been hosting Zoom events and tripling up on email blasts as well as implementing marketing pieces that have been specifically directed and targeted for businesses and employees. It has been our mission to provide any and all current resources available so that our member businesses continue to not only survive but also come out on the positive end of this crisis.

We made a promise this past year to be a CONNECTOR of Leaders and Influencers, a CATALYST for Business Growth and a CHAMPION for a Stronger Community. Our success comes from the hard work of our board of directors, staff and volunteers.

Our Chamber is active in business and community endeavors, and our committees work tirelessly to uphold our mission as well as work closely with our members to provide relevant and up-to-the-minute training and information contributing to their success in our Village.

We have had to change the way we host events, but we took this challenge head-on, hosting the very first FLAVORS 2020 Mobile Trolley event, showcasing our restaurant and hospitality industry partners and establishments. We are thrilled to announce a brand new WINTERFEST DRIVE-IN Concept for 2020 which will be in partnership with the Village of Wellington.

We have everything to offer right here in Wellington, from beautiful singlefamily homes and townhomes to majestic estates and equestrian farms. In addition, airplane enthusiasts can land their small planes on a private runway near their homes in our Aero Club community!

Wellington is an equestrian community and lays claim to outstanding equestrian programs, activities and events, and is known as the Winter

8

Equestrian Capital, as well as the Polo Capital, of the World.

Our medical community is a thriving industry, and the Chamber boasts a full spectrum of medical facilities and professionals as well as the most highly regarded award-winning hospitals and medical facilities.

Education is a top priority for families moving to Wellington, and our schools have a reputation for their high level of excellence and “A” ratings. In addition, our parks and recreation facilities are state-ofthe-art, outstanding venues providing activities for all ages through numerous parks and sports programs. Even as we grow, we continue to cultivate a hometown atmosphere.

So whether you are coming to visit or to live, we at the Chamber offer our sincerest welcome. We hope you enjoy this informative Guide to Wellington, and we encourage you to patronize our Chamber members when you shop or do business in Wellington. Please stop by or give us a call for additional information, or you can visit us at www.wellingtonchamber.com. We care about the community and your business.

ABOUT OUR CHAMBER

THE WELLINGTON CHAMBER

of Commerce was founded in 1996, one year after the Village of Wellington itself. It was founded by a group of local business professionals. Our current president is Lisa Banionis.

The Wellington Chamber was formed to focus on what makes Wellington unique from surrounding communities by emphasizing the differences, to bring a competitive advantage to Wellington merchants, and to protect those differences for all residents. In fact, it was a return to the idea that chambers of commerce best serve their communities when they are local and when they do not try to be all things to all people. It was also felt that local chambers must look to the betterment of their communities in all facets of community life and not just the business aspect of the communities. The following mission statement embodies these two thoughts: “The Wellington Chamber of Commerce is organized to advance the general welfare and prosperity of the Village of Wellington so that its residents and all areas of its business community shall prosper. All necessary means of promotion shall be provided, and particular attention and emphasis shall be given to the economic, civic, commercial, cultural, industrial, security and educational interests of the village.”

WELLINGTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

ABOUT OUR CHAMBER Our Board of Directors is comprised of top businessmen and women who wholeheartedly give their time and resources to make the Chamber a more vibrant, successful and positively recognized community-based agency.

The many annual programs of the Chamber reflect a rich tradition of achievement of the goals within the mission statement. For many, the year actually starts in December with our biggest event of the year, Winterfest with Vanilla Ice! Historically, thousands of Palm Beach County residents and visitors alike have attended. Our 2020 event featured a “DRIVE-IN” concept!

Winterfest gives way to the coming of the New Year and the height of the “season.” Newcomers will notice the increase of out-of-state license plates and the excitement of the equestrian, dressage and polo seasons. Thousands of people strong, the equestrian professionals are back, and the Wellington Chamber welcomes them in the name of our local merchants.

February hosts our 5K Run. More than 400 runners came out in 2020 for this event, presented by Baptist Health South Florida. The 2021 run will be offering a new format and a “Season of Health” campaign leading up to this event.

In March each year, the Wellington Chamber recognizes and installs our incoming Board of Officers and Directors.

For the last 16 years, our FLAVORS OF WELLINGTON food and wine event has been held at our amazing Wellington venues, including the International Polo Club Palm Beach and the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. In 2020, we shifted our event to a mobile platform utilizing trolleys to take our participants in smaller groups to the exhibitor locations! FPL presented the 17th-annual FLAVORS event in October, and exhibitors and attendees alike loved the new, innovative format!

Our committees have been on the cutting edge of new and innovative ideas in generating economic growth and change in our community. We have fought for changes in the hours businesses can operate in Wellington, helped to bring about changes to the local sign ordinances, supported the concept of the Medical Arts District and have voiced opposition to those things that would hinder the continued use of the Global Dressage Arena. We have sponsored health and wellness expos and continue the search to find the highest and best land use for Wellington development projects. We have sponsored numerous candidate forums and debates in order to keep our members better informed on the issues which affect their businesses.

The Women of Wellington (WOW) was designed specifically for our local businesswomen to provide opportunities for women-to-women networking.

This committee of exceptional ladies has recently kicked off the “30 Women 30 Nights” philanthropic endeavor, which selects a different local nonprofit each month and works with it on special events and projects as well as to bring exposure to the organization.

The Wellington Chamber also offers many opportunities for local merchants and professionals to network and showcase their businesses. These are not just ribbon-cuttings but true community networking events where one can come and meet our Board of Directors, Ambassadors, your neighbor or maybe your next customer. They are innovative, exciting and effective!

Henry N. Mosley, Jr. Mosley is an Army veteran with extensive training as a mechanic. An injury ended his career as a diesel mechanic after 20 years of service. However, he rebounded as an entrepreneur. Mosley launched HNM Menswear LLC to solve many of his personal struggles to find fashionable clothing to suit his needs.

Opening in Winter Haven, Fla., in 2013, the store was received well by the community but was closed in October 2014 due to Mosley’s wife, Tonja, receiving an opportunity to work as CFO for Good Samaritan Medical Center, bringing them closer to home. His wife is now the CFO for Wellington Regional Medical Center.

Henry and Tonja are both graduates of Glades Central High

WELLINGTONCHAMBER.COM

School in Belle Glade, Fla. Upon relocating to Wellington, Henry began to seek a new location for HNM Menswear. With personal savings and the help of Paragon Foundation, Henry opened HNM Menswear in 2016. Mosley noticed that the interest of men dressing up was on the decline, so he launched Tyler Brooke in the spring of 2018, and named for his children.

The Tyler Brooke concept is for both men and women, and is conveniently located in the Mall at Wellington Green. Tyler Brooke features the beloved Lilly Pulitzer line.

She completed her undergraduate degree in Nursing at the University of Florida in Gainesville; before returning to South Florida and obtaining her advanced nursing degree at Florida Atlantic University, she spent years working at UF Health Shands Hospital in the cardiac unit and later as a pediatric hematology-oncology nurse.

When the opportunity for a leadership position in a primary care setting presented itself, Poveda realized her passion for building meaningful patient relationships would be found in family medicine. It was there that her desire to educate patients with a focus on preventive care led her to obtain her

certification as a diabetes educator and motivated her to pursue an advanced degree and become a board-certified family nurse practitioner. After completing her advanced degree, she worked at Florida Atlantic University’s Community Health Center in West Palm Beach as a nurse practitioner and faculty member. Additionally she became the director, transforming the clinic to become a true medical home for the underserved, and a training center that embodies community health care.

Poveda aims to change the manner in which health care is delivered, putting the emphasis on keeping people well rather than solely stepping in and treating the sick. She enjoys spending time with her wonderful husband and her two amazing sons, Christian and Jaxon.

WELLINGTON OFFERS

attractive opportunities for virtually all types of businesses, says Michela Green, Executive Director, Wellington Chamber of Commerce. “Our Chamber focuses on bringing a competitive advantage to Wellington merchants, and to protect those differences for all residents. In fact, it was a return to the idea that chambers of commerce best serve their communities when they are local and when they do not try to be all things to all people. It was also felt that local chambers must look to the betterment of their communities in all facets of community life and not just the business aspect of the communities.

“We at the Chamber are proud to support our members and strengthen our very special unique, diverse and innovative community,” Green adds.

Small businesses are finding their way to the Wellington community and discovering that with all the numerous amenities and services available in the area, it is a perfect mix for their new businesses to thrive.

With more than 300 members, the Wellington Chamber offers a year-round program of special events, business growth learning workshops and networking opportunities.

Many Wellington companies are leaders in the county’s dynamic aviation, equestrian, life sciences, medical and financial service industries. Other businesses cater to the needs of Wellington’s 65,000-plus residents, including retailers, restaurants and equestrian-based companies. Thanks to Wellington’s central location in the heart of Palm Beach County, area businesses enjoy easy access to South Florida’s major roadways, international airports and seaports.

Wellington real estate offers fabulous and diverse inventory choices as well as an A-rated school system, great public and semi-private golf courses and top-

AN ACTIVE CHAMBER Today, the Chamber is working closely with area leaders to enhance Wellington’s attractiveness to employers in the service, health care, retail, manufacturing and distribution sectors. The Wellington Chamber continues to promote sustainable economic development.

The Chamber believes in bringing more jobs to the Village, which will reduce regional transportation costs as well as create additional revenue for city services, making Wellington a better place to live.

In addition, the Chamber is strengthening the hospitality sector by promoting the region’s unique

equestrian resources as well as staging special events. Our equestrian and polo venues attract some of the world’s finest players as well as national and international personalities, celebrities and dignitaries.

AWARD-WINNING HEALTH CARE From Baptist Health South Florida to Cleveland Clinic, the Hospital for Special Surgery, and an outpatient location from the gold standard of pediatric care facilities, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Health, Wellington continues to be a preeminent destination to meet health care needs both common and exotic.

WELLINGTON REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER Wellington Regional Medical Center is a 233-bed community hospital conveniently located at the intersection of Forest Hill Boulevard and State Road 7/441 in Wellington.

Since opening its doors more than 30 years ago, Wellington Regional has kept pace with the growing medical needs of our community. It has invested in developing advanced and comprehensive health care services—from neonatal intensive care to wound care and hyperbaric medicine to some of the most advanced technologies in cancer treatments available today.

The Alan B. Miller Pavilion is a three-story, 103,000-square-foot structure attached to the north face of the hospital, transforming it into a flourishing medical complex. A towering achievement in innovative health care design, the Pavilion distinguishes Wellington Regional from every other hospital in the region.

efficiency, fostering patient engagement, augmenting the healing process and improving the overall patient experience.

Wellington Regional recognizes that the patient experience extends beyond the patient. Thoughtful spaces, complimentary Wi-Fi service and upgraded dining selections also provide a pleasant experience for family and friends. A state-of-the-art pharmacy and two eight-bed ICU step-down units provide support for existing medical-surgical services. Additional space is reserved for the expansion of specialty programs, including orthopedics, cardiology, neurosurgery and oncology.

The hospital’s Ken DiLallo Level III neonatal intensive care unit cares for the smallest of newborns with the widest range of newborn conditions. Wellington Regional’s newest emergency department, ER at Westlake, is a freestanding emergency department at 16750 Persimmon Boulevard at the intersection of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road. It opened in 2019, and is staffed 24/7 with an ER physician and appropriate ancillary staff capable of treating general emergency cases from cuts and bruises to heart attacks and strokes, with the ability to airlift patients to the main hospital if needed.

In addition to providing high-quality health care, the hospital promotes overall community wellness through free preventive health screenings, educational lectures and support groups.

Through an unmatched commitment to patient care, continued dedication by physicians, staff and auxiliary, and an ongoing investment by its parent company, Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS), a King of Prussia, Pa.-based company, Wellington Regional Medical Center is proud of the services it provides and looks forward to fulfilling the needs of the community in the years ahead.

The cardiology program at Palms West Hospital brings together the collaborative efforts and experience of highly skilled physician specialists, nurses, technologists and other cardiovascular health professionals. Cardiac care services encompass a full range of diagnostic modalities and interventional procedures. Our team of specialists combines its expertise and knowledge to provide the latest scientific advantages in their respective fields.

ORTHOPEDICS Our dedication to orthopedic care is exemplified by our team of highly trained surgeons, who are experts in the treatment of every bone and joint in the human body. The Orthopedic Center at Palms West Hospital utilizes less invasive joint replacement techniques using stronger, more durable materials. Patients benefit from a multidisciplinary approach involving advanced physical therapy techniques, smarter pain management and shortened recovery times. We also offer pre-operative education classes to address any questions or concerns about the surgical process and recovery.

ROBOTIC SURGERY We are fortunate to have two da Vinci® Si Robotic Systems. Our program includes gynecological, urological and general surgery robotic-assisted procedures. Major surgeries can be performed through the smallest of incisions with the da Vinci® Surgical System. It is an effective, minimally invasive alternative to both open surgery and laparoscopy. Compared to more traditional procedures, robotic-assisted surgeries result in reduced recovery times, less risk of infection, less blood loss and reduced trauma to the body.

NEWCOMER INFORMATION

You can also obtain applications at libraries, post offices and the Department of Motor Vehicles. A copy of the application can also be downloaded at www.pbcelections.org. You will need to provide a current and valid Florida driver’s license or Florida Identification Card number. If you do not have a valid driver’s license or identification card, you must provide the last four digits of your social security number. The voter registration books close 29 days prior to each election.

MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION The Palm Beach County Tax Collector serves as the agent for the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) for titling and registering all motorized vehicles, boats and mobile homes (commercial and private), including motorcycles and mopeds (registrations only). The Tax Collector’s office also issues disabled person parking permits.

New residents should register their vehicle(s) and obtain a Florida license plate within 30 days of establishing legal residency, accepting employment or upon placement of a child in school. Automobiles and trucks must have at least $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) insurance and at least $10,000 property damage liability (PDL) insurance.

Registrations of privately owned vehicles and long-term leased vehicles are valid until midnight on the first registered owner’s birthday. You can renew up to three months before the expiration date. A delinquent fee is charged if the registration is not renewed by the 10th of the following month.

The DHSMV may send a courtesy reminder notice a month before your birthday. Non-receipt of the notice does not relieve registrants from their responsibility to renew on time or exempt them from paying the delinquent fee upon renewal.

Current Florida residents can renew their motor vehicle registration online up to three months in advance. Nonresidents of Florida must take their proof of valid Florida insurance, along with the title, to the Palm Beach County Tax Collector office. Visit www.pbctax.com for locations, hours and more information.

DRIVER LICENSE/ID CARDS Federal law now requires you to bring specific and original documentation when obtaining or renewing a driver license or ID card. You must come in person to prove identity, social security and residential address. If you recently moved to Palm Beach County, the law requires you to update your driver license/ID card within 30 days.

You can renew your driver license up to 18 months in advance. Visit www.pbctax.com for a list of accepted documents, to make an appointment or to view wait times. You can also text ‘waitpbc’ to 41411 for up-to-date driver license wait times.

The driving skills exam known as the Road Test or Behind-the-Wheel Test is the last step to getting a Florida driver’s license. During the 12 months that a person has learner’s permit, they should practice the skills necessary to pass

42

WELLINGTONCHAMBER.COM

the Road Test. A minimum of 50 hours (10 hours at night) of driving experience with a licensed driver age 21 or older is required. Visit www.dmvflorida.org to make an appointment at a DMV office in the Palm Beaches.

A new resident exchanging a valid out-of-state license for a Florida license will be required to pass a vision test. If you are younger than 18 and are not married, your license application must be signed by one parent or legal guardian.

Step-parents may not sign for you unless they have legally adopted you.

Note: Teens applying for their full operator’s (Class E) license will be required to: n hold learner’s license for 12 months n not incur any traffic convictions n be certified by parent or guardian to have at least 50 hours of behind-the wheel training, at least 10 of which must be at night.

Additional information is available at www.flhsmv.gov.

SEAT BELTS The law states that the front seat passengers must wear seat belts. This law applies to any car manufactured since 1968. In addition, all passengers under 18 years old must wear a seat belt or be otherwise restrained by a child car seat. It is against the law to operate a vehicle if all the passengers do not meet these standards.

The cost for a seat belt violation is $30. For a child that is not properly restrained, the violation is $60. For more information, visit www.dmvflorida.org.

TEXTING AND DRIVING The Florida Texting and Driving Law changed on July 1, 2019. It is a primary offense, which means you can be pulled over by law enforcement and fined for texting and driving. Here are fines and penalties of the new Texting Law: n First-offense drivers will be fined $30, and no points will be assessed to their driving record n Second Texting and Driving offense within five years will be considered a moving violation and carry a $60 fine and three points on your driving record n Texting in a School Zone: Two points added to the primary offense n Texting resulting in a crash: Six points added to the primary offense Vessel Registration Motorized vessels used in freshwater or saltwater must be registered at the Palm Beach County Tax Collector’s office. You need to provide a Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO), title or its equivalent when you register the vessel.

Florida recognizes valid registration certificates and numbers issued to nonresident vessel owners by other states for 90 days. If you plan to use the vessel in Florida longer than 90 days, you need to register in Florida. Bring your out-of-state title and registration with you when you come to the Tax Collector’s office. Visit www.pbctax.com or call (561) 355-2264.

LICENSING FISHING In Florida, both freshwater and saltwater fishing licenses may be required.

To protect our natural resources, there are some legal minimum lengths and limits on the number of fish you may possess. There is also closed season on some shellfish and snook. To obtain a resident license for fishing and hunting, you must be a resident of Florida for six months. Residents 65 or older can obtain a complimentary hunting and fishing license when they show a valid Florida driver license or ID card.

Fishing licenses and information may be obtained at the Tax Collector’s office or at any state agent (bait shops, sporting goods stores, etc.). Additional information is available at www.pbctax.com, or call the Constitutional Tax Collector’s office at (561) 355-2264.

PROPERTY APPRAISER’S OFFICE Florida’s Constitution mandates that all property values must be assessed at market value as of January 1 each year. Market value is typically what a property would sell for in an open and competitive market—what a property is worth to a willing buyer and willing seller.

By Florida law, only sales transactions that occurred during the previous year can be used to establish values as of January 1 of the current year. For 2021 values we look at 2020 sales to estimate values for the 2021 tax roll. For example, if you sold your residence in 2020 for $150,000, that selling price would be used together with other comparable sales in our analysis of the market.

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION SERVICES Florida provides a standard $25,000 Homestead Exemption to residential property owners who qualify for the tax savings benefit. Every person who has legal title to a residential property in Florida and lives there permanently qualifies for the state’s standard $25,000 exemption.

An additional Homestead Exemption benefit up to $25,000 relates only to properties with an assessed value greater than $50,000.

For more information about the available exemptions, visit the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s website, pbcgov.com/papa, or call Exemption Services at (561) 355-2866.

Residential property owners with an existing Homestead Exemption can transfer a portion of their tax savings to a new residence. You can apply for Portability when you apply for the standard Homestead Exemption on your new property. The deadline to apply for all new exemptions is March 1 of the qualifying year.

Owners of non-homesteaded properties, such as second homes, may qualify for a 10 percent Exemption benefit on the market value.

TAX INFORMATION The Constitutional Tax Collector’s office collects and distributes over $3 billion annually in taxes and fees.

There are eight permanent office locations conveniently located throughout the county. Call (561) 3552264 or visit www.pbctax.com for a complete list of office addresses.

SUPPORTING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

DURING VIRAL SEASONS

By Dr. Saulis Banionis Florida Interventional Pain Management, LLC

WITH THE VIRAL

illness season upon us, particularly COVID-19, many people are wondering what they can do to help to boost their immune system.

People with risk factors including diabetes, obesity, respiratory issues, old age and immunocompromised states are at increased risk of contracting the COVID-19 infection, as well as multiple other viral illnesses. These are many of the same populations that have always been susceptible to viral illnesses, particularly the influenza virus, but as it relates to COVID-19, healthy children are much less likely to suffer severe illness and complications from it. Infection with the COVID-19 virus can range from a mild respiratory illness to severe lung injury, multiple organ system damage, and death.

Many studies are ongoing to help support patient care, and doctors are a doing much better job in helping patients to recover from this illness, with new treatment options on the horizon.

So what can you do to help to support your immune system? I think that you should consider zinc, vitamin C and vitamin D supplements.

Zinc is an essential mineral used by more than 300 enzymes in the human body. It helps to regulate communication between cells, modulate antiviral and antibacterial activity, and even helps with normal human development and gene expression.

Researchers have found that COVID-19 patients with low blood levels of zinc fared worse than people with healthier levels. Zinc

is believed to prevent replication of the virus by inhibiting SARS CoV RNA polymerase and is also thought to decrease the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), known to be the receptor for binding SARS CoV 2. Through this mechanism, it is thought to exert its anti-inflammatory and regulatory effects to modulate the activity of the cytokine storm often associated with more advanced COVID-19 infections. It does compete with copper when it is absorbed, so you should discuss with your physician whether it is appropriate for you to take it, and how often.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient which is often absorbed through our daily dietary intake of many brightly colored fruits and vegetables. Deficiencies of vitamin C have been associated with increased risk of respiratory infections such as pneumonia. It has been well accepted in the medical community that vitamin C is effective in preventing and attenuating symptoms related to viral illnesses, and assisting in recovery from viral illnesses.

It plays a crucial role in immune responses and has antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects. Infusions of vitamin C in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 have shown to increase activity of lymphocytes, which are a crucial component of the immune response mechanisms of the body, and are now considered part of standard therapy in caring for these patients.

Vitamin D, particularly 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, also known as D3, has been known for many years to be particularly important in our absorption of dietary calcium, but is suspected to benefit COVID-19 patients as well. Its activity is believed to be related to its modulatory effects on the immune system as well as the down regulation of the ACE2 in COVID-19-infected patients, thereby helping to prevent the cytokine storm. Many more studies need to be performed and investigated in the near future to confirm the benefits of these and other supplements, but they hold significant promise in dealing with this new virus, and may prove to be beneficial in dealing with many of our other seasonal viruses.

During this viral season, people should consider supplementing a daily multivitamin with zinc, though take a few days off through the month to ensure proper absorption of copper, Vitamin C and Vitamin D. Please note that THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. Every situation is unique, and every person must check with his or her physician to see if the supplements may benefit them, particularly when they are taking multiple other medications. Other supplements may prove to be beneficial, include melatonin and quercetin, but I recommend discussing with your primary care physician to see if they would benefit your immune system and your overall health during this viral season.

CHOOSING A DOCTOR

QUICK TIPS When you choose a primary care doctor for yourself or a loved one, make sure to choose a doctor you can trust. A primary care doctor can: n Help you stay healthy by recommending preventive services, like screening tests and shots n Treat many health problems n Refer you to a specialist when you need more help with a specific health issue When you are choosing a doctor, look for someone who: n Treats you with respect n Listens to your opinions and concerns n Encourages you to ask questions n Explains things in ways you can understand When you and your doctor work together as a team, you’ll get better health care. Try the following tips to find a doctor who’s right for you.

Ask for recommendations from people you know.

Getting a reference from someone you know and trust is a great way to find a doctor. Ask friends, family members, neighbors, or coworkers if they have a doctor they like. If you are looking for a new doctor because yours is retiring or moving, ask your current doctor for a recommendation.

Check with your insurance company. If you have health insurance, you may need to choose from a list of doctors in their network (doctors that take you insurance plan). Some insurance plans may let you

choose a doctor outside the network if you pay more of the cost. Call your insurance company and ask for a list of local doctors who take your insurance plan. Find out if your insurance company has a website you can use to search for a local doctor who sees people with your plan. If you don’t have health insurance, you’ll have to pay for health care “out of pocket” (on your own). This can be very expensive. For help finding insurance, visit www.healthcare.gov.

Learn more about your top choices. Make a list of the doctors you have in mind. Call their offices to learn more about them. The answers to the following questions may help you make the best decision.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DOCTOR: n Is the doctor taking new patients? n Is the doctor part of a group practice? Who are the other doctors? n Who will see you if your doctor isn’t available? n Which hospital does the doctor use? n If you have a medical condition, does the doctor have experience treating it?

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OFFICE: n Do they offer evening or weekend appointments? n What is the cancellation policy? n How long will it take to get an appointment? n How long do appointments usually last? n In light of the coronavirus pandemic, does the doctor offer telemedicine services? n Can you get lab work and x-rays done in the office? n If you are more comfortable speaking in a language besides English, is there a doctor or nurse who speaks that language?

THINK ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AFTER THE FIRST VISIT. DID THE DOCTOR AND OFFICE STAFF... n Make you feel comfortable during your appointment? n Spend enough time with you? n Give you a chance to ask questions? n Answer your questions clearly?

If you answer “no” to any of these questions, you may want to keep looking.

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS Your medical records are yours, and you have the right to see them. If you are ready to take control of your medical records, here are some tips that can help you: n Keep your own records: Make notes of your health care visits, and what was said. You can also make notes of your prescriptions. Keep your own records, and you will know what is happening. n Get a full copy: Before you leave any appointment, ask for a copy. From blood tests to dental records, there is no reason why you cannot have a copy of your records. n Be organized: Organize your records so that you know where they are. Have a system in place that allows you to find them quickly. n Keep your records safe: Make sure your records are in a safe place. You want essential records safe from damage and from theft. n Know your rights: You own the information in the medical records — even though the health care

n

n

n

professional owns the actual document. Realize that you have control over the information.

Have mistakes corrected: By law, you can have misleading or incorrect information corrected. If there is a mistake in your medical records, you need to have it fixed.

Be on the alert for identity fraud: If you discover that your identity has been stolen, make sure you check for unauthorized medical procedures in your name.

Make sure records are updated: Try to make sure that copies of your records are updated with new information.

Consider records for legibility: Charts can often be illegible. If something in your medical records appears sloppy or difficult to read, ask to have it clarified.

Consider setting up an online profile: There are services like Google Health that can provide you with a way to manage your health records electronically.

HOME REMEDIES

GETWELL

Turning to your doctor for every scratch or headache can be tiring and expensive. Home remedies can be an unexpected fix to an ongoing condition. Some household products have alternate uses that are as surprising as they are effective. Here are some locally grown fixes to some common ailments.

HICCUPS Drinking water, holding your breath and even getting scared have been attributed as cures for hiccups.

When those old tricks don’t work, try swallowing a teaspoon of dry sugar.

It works by distracting the vagus nerve that innervates the diaphragm.

America’s only producer of certified organic sugar, Florida Crystals, is located right here in Palm Beach County.

CHEST CONGESTION With Florida’s pollen count, allergies are a common complaint of Floridians. When feeling congested from allergies or the common cold, try adding honey and lemon to a cup of hot water or tea. The ingredients

work together to soothe the throat and rid the airways of mucus. Beekeepers are abundant in Palm Beach County and offer a variety of different honeys that would be perfect for a congestion-calming tea.

ANXIETY When fighting off nerves, oranges are the secret weapon. Drinking orange juice with honey and nutmeg is known to slow heart rates. It works by improving blood vessel function with an antioxidant called hesperidin, which is known to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. Even the aroma of oranges is said to reduce anxiety. In Florida, there is no shortage of oranges. Head down to Palm Beach Groves (2730 S. Ocean Blvd., Palm Beach) for some aromatherapy the next time you are feeling anxious.

SUNBURNS Add sunburn soother to the long list of applications for milk. With so many uses, it’s no wonder this all-purpose beverage is referred to as the fruit of life.

The next time you get sunburned, try using a cold compress of milk and water.

The fat and protein in the milk act as an anti-inflammatory while the cold temperature reduces swelling by causing blood vessels to constrict. For some all-natural goat’s milk, check out Goodness Gracious Acres (14817 97th Road N., West Palm Beach).

SEA LICE BITES Any Florida resident or past visitor can recognize the telltale signs of a sea lice attack. The agonizingly itchy red bumps can drive even the biggest beach bums away from the ocean. Don’t let those little sea creatures keep you away. The next time you get bitten by sea lice, soak a sponge with a mixture of water and either vinegar or meat tenderizer. Then, gently apply to affected areas. These acids neutralize the venom in your skin to relieve itching. Find your favorite vinegar at Oil & Vinegar in the Gardens Mall (3101 PGA Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens).

THE DOS AND DON’TS

OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS DIETARY

supplements have a reputation of being exclusively for the elderly. This myth leads people to believe they do not need to take supplements if they aren’t senior citizens, but people of all ages can benefit from dietary supplements.

Supplements can boost immune systems, act as an anti-aging aesthetic and delay or prevent conditions such as osteoporosis or heart disease. Supplements can even give you more energy by supplying your cells with the right nutrients.

Get out your pillboxes, people, because it is time to start integrating supplements into your routine. But before you get started, you need to know how to take supplements safely. Here are some guidelines to follow when taking dietary supplements: DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS ARE NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR A HEALTHY DIET For people who are vegan or lactoseintolerant, calcium and other supplements can provide the necessary amounts of vital nutrients. However, a variety of supplements will not replace a healthy diet. Food gives the body a

76

WELLINGTONCHAMBER.COM

combination of vitamins and minerals that work together to promote health.

Supplements cannot replicate this relationship between the nutrients found in food. Supplements are only meant to fill in the gaps in your diet. It is important to maintain a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables even when taking dietary supplements.

STICK TO THE DOSAGE People think that since supplements are good for you, the more you take the better it is for your body. That idea is incorrect. Some supplements will have no greater effect if you take more than the recommended dose. In this case, taking more is a waste of money. Others have harmful effects. Keep in mind that “natural” or “organic” does not always mean “safe.” Always read the label to make sure you are only taking the recommended dose.

BE AWARE OF THE PURPOSE AND POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF TAKING SUPPLEMENTS Never take supplements for no reason. Talk to your doctor about what supplements will make your diet well-rounded before taking what you may think you need. Also be aware of the vitamin or mineral’s unintended effects. Calcium is a popular supplement taken to prevent osteoporosis. According to Harvard Medical School, recent research studies have found substantial evidence that calcium supplements increase the risk of heart disease. Although nothing is proven, people with heart problems would be wise to stay away from calcium supplements. It is important to know what the supplement is and what it does in order to safely consume it.

BE CAREFUL PAIRING SUPPLEMENTS WITH MEDICATIONS Some supplements can counteract medications, which can be dangerous for people with certain conditions. Vitamin K is known to interfere with blood thinners, and calcium supplements are known to interfere with thyroid medication. Always ask a doctor before pairing a supplement with prescription medication.

BUY LOCAL WELLINGTON

GETWELL HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU “SHOP LOCAL.” RESEARCH SHOWS that for every $100 you spend at locally owned businesses, $68 will stay in the community. What happens when you spend that same $100 at a national chain? Only $43 stays in the community.

Local businesses are better at creating higher-paying jobs for your neighbors. When you shop locally or use local health and wellness facilities, you help create jobs for teachers, nurses, doctors, firefighters, police officers, administrators and many other essential professions.

Buying from a locally owned business conserves energy and resources in the form of less fuel for transportation and less packaging, giving you, the consumer, a lower cost when buying.

Local business owners know you, and you know them. Studies have shown that local businesses donate

to community causes at more than twice the rate of chains.

Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance and more money available to beautify your community. Also, spending locally instead of online ensures that your sales taxes are reinvested where they belong—in your community!

Locally owned businesses pick the items and products they sell based on what they know you like and want. Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products, because they buy for their own individual markets.

You are their friends and neighbors, and locally owned businesses have a vested interest in knowing how to serve you. They’re passionate about what they do. Why not take advantage of it?

As the business owner of two medical practices, Florida Interventional Pain Management and Palm Beach Anti-Aging, I am constantly making purchases for items including office supplies, promotional pieces and medical equipment.

I also have a need for professional services such as insurance brokers and lawyers. I am able to purchase all of my equipment, supplies and professional services for both practices from other businesses right here in Wellington. It is so nice when I make the calls to place my orders that they know me as well as know my needs. The patients that visit us at our practices are the same faces I see when shopping locally.

Creativity and entrepreneurship are what the American economy is founded upon. Nurturing local business ensures a strong community.

The more interesting and unique our community, the more we will attract new neighbors, visitors and guests. This benefits everyone!

LIVE IN WELLINGTON

When the Mall at Wellington Green launched its Live 360° Studio, in 2016, its first dance class attracted four participants. Four years later, when the program went on pause due to the coronavirus, that same instructor was teaching some 75 dancers— a testament to the rising demand of this family-friendly initiative.

“Live 360° was created to try and make the mall a neutral gathering spot for consumers, retailers or the community in general to try something new—like a new class, a new event, a new experience,” says Meghan Buser, consultant and community liaison for Live 360°. “Retail centers have moved beyond only retail, and I’d like to see the mall be that gathering spot to rethink what retail centers are.”

To that end, Live 360° has brought everything from art classes, car shows and fitness events to “Music & Me” experiences for

toddlers and a “Drive-thru Boo” Halloween gathering to the mall’s customers and beyond. Many of these events take place in the 5,000-square-foot Live 360° Studio inside the Mall at Wellington Green, though the initiative has had a presence in the mall’s common areas and at off-site venues as well.

After a lengthy, mandated closure during the spring and summer of 2020, Live 360° has been continuing apace since September 2020, with new safety protocols and an appreciative clientele. As Buser says, “We don’t need to stop living; we just need to rethink the way we live. I’m rethinking the way we distance, our signups, and capping off events, whether outside or inside.

“We’re very forward thinking, and can move forward in a safe way. Now more than ever people need engagement.”

EQUESTRIAN COMMITTEE

EQUINE THE PRIMARY PURPOSE

of the Wellington Chamber

Equestrian Committee is to promote, enhance and support the equestrian industry in Wellington. According to the Palm Beach County Business Development Board, the equestrian industry annually brings in more than $180 million to Palm Beach County.

Wellington has long been the flagship for the equestrian industry in Palm Beach County. With the beginning of Palm Beach Polo in 1978, the equestrian impact has flourished to bring the very top international competitions in polo, hunter/jumper and dressage to Wellington.

This winter being an Olympic qualifying season for the postponed summer Olympics of 2020, we anticipate being busier than past seasons, with some of the top competitors from all over the world vying for spots on their country’s team.

Wellington’s International Polo Club (IPC), host of the U.S. Open Polo Championship, is the permanent home for the foreseeable future. Wellington boasts the most complete range of polo competition anywhere, with a robust schedule for low-goal, medium-goal and high-goal competitions.

Enhancing the polo community, Grand Champions Polo Club was the only club in the nation to stage two USPA-sanctioned 20-goal fall tournaments in 2018, and again is hosting two 20-goal tournaments this season.

The Grand Champions Fall Invitational League is geared toward improving players’ polo skills at every level. Roster lineups change from tournament to tournament featuring amateur and professional players. It’s also a great opportunity for players and sponsors to prepare for the winter season.

With a mission to provide individuals opportunities in polo at every economic and ability level, Grand Champions Polo Club and Santa Rita Polo Farm’s expert staff can customize a complete playing experience including horses, professionals and certified umpires in addition to lessons and practice sessions as part of its Polo On Demand program.

Adding to the thriving polo community, fans are able to view polo through CHUKKER TV’s state-of-the-art technology featuring live polo and instant replays. Whether you are here in Wellington or somewhere else wishing you were here, you can watch live polo on the CHUKKER TV Network.

The Winter Equestrian Festival offers the greatest prize money in the world’s

86

WELLINGTONCHAMBER.COM

largest and longest-running international hunter/jumper events, as well as the top dressage venue in the world.

The Global Dressage Festival series has combined to host an unprecedented series of FEI competitions to its roster of great events, offering unprecedented prize money and drawing top European riders to Wellington.

The Wellington Classic Dressage Challenge Series features USEF/USDF-recognized dressage shows hosted at the Palm Beach County Jim Brandon Equestrian Center, located in nearby West Palm Beach. The series runs from January through April, with plans for additional shows based on rider demand.

The Wellington Chamber and the Wellington Chamber Equestrian Committee continue to promote and protect the economic interests of the equestrian community in Wellington.

We look forward to continued growth, and we will continue to enhance and support Wellington’s equestrian community as well as to bring its economic impact to the entire Wellington community.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email our Equestrian Committee Chairperson, Jane Garifo-Springer, at Janepspringer @gmail.com, or contact our executive director, Michela Green, at info@ wellingtonchamber.com.

Q&A WITH MICHAEL STONE

OF EQUESTRIAN SPORT PRODUCTIONS WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO MOST DURING THIS YEAR’S WINTER EQUESTRIAN FESTIVAL? The return of all the world’s top riders. As the European winter season is shutting down due to the virus, we are expecting a large number of Europeans to travel to Wellington this season. We have worked with the United States Equestrian Federation, the US Paralympic and Olympic Committee, and the Department of Homeland Security to get visa waivers for the top riders and their teams so there will be great competitions.

to Wellington, and the competition will be of the highest level. Unfortunately due to COVID restrictions we will not be having any public spectators at either of our venues, so that will be disappointing, but we want to be sure that we do not create an outbreak that could close down the whole season.

HOW IS THE POLO SEASON GOING OVER AT THE INTERNATIONAL POLO CLUB PALM BEACH (IPC)?

It is looking really good. We are working on continuing last year’s success with the extra teams and hopefully being able to finish the season. As in the other disciplines there is great interest in coming to Wellington this winter, and we are certain that the sport will be excellent.

WHAT OTHER NEW UPDATES ARE TAKING PLACE AT IPC THIS YEAR? We are working on a COVID plan to enable tailgating this year as well as some hospitality for Sunday Polo. Luckily there is a lot of room at IPC to spread out, so we are hopeful of being able to have as many public events there as safely as possible.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHT EVENTS THIS SEASON? As always the four FEI 5 star events and the Nations Cup are the competition highlights and, of course, the Great Charity Challenge, which has never been more needed than at this time.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE ADEQUAN® GLOBAL DRESSAGE FESTIVAL? It is very similar to the jumping; many of the top riders will be coming

Q&A WITH MICHAEL STONE

HOW CAN THE WELLINGTON BUSINESS COMMUNITY GET INVOLVED IN ALL THIS EQUESTRIAN ACTIVITY? The key is to be flexible. Equestrians start early in the morning and often finish late, so understanding that is important. As we are reducing the night classes this year due to the restrictions, we believe this is a great opportunity for bars and restaurants in Wellington to live-stream the Grand Prixs on Saturday nights and get all those customers that would have been at the event to come to their businesses.

WHAT CAN PEOPLE EXPECT WHO MAY NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT EQUESTRIAN SPORT? A lot of people in breeches and boots walking around Wellington!

Unfortunately this year, with very limited spectator opportunities, the best way to watch and learn will be through our free live stream of the events.

WELLINGTONCHAMBER.COM

HOW DOES THE EQUESTRIAN INDUSTRY IMPACT THE VILLAGE OF WELLINGTON AND PALM BEACH COUNTY? Our latest figures show another increase in the economic value of our industry to Wellington and the county. The 2020 Winter Equestrian Festival contributed $286 million and 3,063 jobs to the Palm Beach economy.

This resulted in labor earnings of $88.1 million.

HOW DO WE FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION? Our websites, www.pbiec.com and www.ipc.com, have all the latest and updated information.

“ WHY I LOVE WELLINGTON: I LOVE THAT OUR VILLAGE SUPPORTS THE ENDEAVORS OF ALL PROFESSIONALS, ENTREPRENEURS AND BUSINESSES. WE STAND BEHIND ONE ANOTHER AND WORK THROUGH THE UPS AND DOWNS TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY STRONGER.”

GRAND CHAMPIONS POLO CLUB

DEEPLY IMBEDDED IN

the fabric of the South Florida polo scene, Grand Champions Polo Club (GCPC), established in 2007 in Wellington, Florida, has become a household name and a fixture of innovation in the Florida Circuit. Set on more than 100 acres between the two properties of GCPC and Santa Rita Polo Farm, the club’s 11 fields host a wide range of tournaments up to 26-goal polo during the winter, spring and fall seasons. Offering polo opportunities as diverse as the international flags which line the roadside, GCPC has made it its lifelong mission to promote low, medium and high-goal polo, creating and developing new players at all levels of the sport.

While active in the high-goal environment as the home base for pro teams Audi and Flexjet, GCPC equally makes a point to cater to the needs of men, women and youth players of varying levels with The Polo School’s unique ‘Polo on Demand’ program. In keeping with the club’s vision, The Polo School is dedicated to giving anyone interested the opportunity to play polo from beginner on to the highest level they aspire to reach. GCPC’s expert staff can customize a complete playing experience including horses, pros and certified umpires in addition to lessons and practice sessions.

played at Grand Champions Polo Club. No decision has yet been made regarding COVID restrictions for the WPL season, as measures will depend on conditions in January.

While admission is traditionally open and free to the public at Grand Champions, the continuing COVID-19 pandemic will see the play closed to the public for the foreseeable future. Over the summer, sister club Aspen Valley Polo Club completed a successful high-goal season while following strict health and safety protocols, and those same protocols will continue at Grand Champions throughout the fall season.

Grand Champions Polo Club co-founder Melissa Ganzi says,

“Obviously, we really missed our fans over the summer, and we’ll miss them this fall. Even though Florida has opened up, we are acting, we are acting out of an abundance of caution. We’ll continue to regularly test for COVID and strictly follow all local and state guidelines.”

Although Grand Champions will be closed to spectators, ChukkerTV will livestream the entire 2020 polo series so fans can still enjoy the best polo the U.S. has to offer. ChukkerTV was the first to introduce state-of-the-art live streaming technology and instant replay in January 2014 at Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington, Florida.
