A helping hand

Last month, resident Angie Hawthorne was treated at Doctors Hospital. She wanted to personally thank the nurse who helped her during her stay.Doctors Hospital arranged a surprise presentation last week, during which Hawthorne presented nurse Lisa Cherry with flowers and a “Bravo” award, which recognizes hospital employees who go above and beyond.

“She took care of me,” Hawthorne said. “If she wouldn’t have done what she had done, I would have been dead.”

Gift that keeps on giving

Boys & Girls Club Board Member, Irv Naiditch and wife, Marilyn, recently made a $100,000 planned gift to benefit the 4,000 children served by the Boys & Girls Clubs throughout Sarasota County. Boys & Girls Club President and CEO Bill Sadlo is thankful for the donation. 

“Irv and Marilyn Naiditch continue to provide leadership and give generously not only supporting the children and youth we serve but many youth throughout the county and beyond,” Sadlo said in a release. “Their gift will leave a legacy that will benefit generations of children and youth."
