- Building Portico Failure Hallandale | sun-times
Building Portico Failure Hallandale By Hallandale Beach Mayor, Joy Cooper Apr 9, 2026 Hope Everyone Is Enjoying Passover And Had A Blessed Easter. Last Week, Our City Was In The News Due To A Structural Building Collapse. I Reassured Residents And Businesses That The Incident At 1250 East Hallandale Beach Boulevard Only Impacted The Portico That Covers A Walkway Between The Building And Garage. Both The Building And The Garage Structures Remain Safe. Fortunately, No Injuries Occurred, Though Two Empty Cars Were Trapped Under The Debris. I have not yet received the complete report about the cause of the collapse. The building successfully passed its 40- and 50-year inspections, but factors like age, maintenance, heavy rain, roof drain issues, and nearby construction may have contributed. An engineering firm has been hired, and the building department inspected the site on Monday. Following the incident, I want to clarify the city's role in the Building Safety Inspection Program. The BSIP is not new, it has been law for years. Since the Surfside collapse there have been changes made. Inspection now begins at 25-year with milestone re-inspections every ten years have been introduced. BSIP covers both commercial and residential buildings based on their size. Champlain Towers needed repairs, but the condominium board and residents chose not to fund them in a timely manner due to cost. This prompted the change in law that requires reserve study and the funding of reserves. City building departments oversee the BSIP but do not conduct inspections. Each property must hire a licensed engineer or architect to inspect and report on structural and operational components. Required repairs are identified in these reports, which are then submitted to the city for review. If the report identifies a deficiency at risk of imminent failure, our staff will contact the building to confirm that repairs are underway. They will also inspect the condition to determine if it’s necessary to red tag the building. Not all cases of imminent failure require evacuation. If the affected component is not part of the main building footprint—such as a parking structure—the garage may be red-tagged until a certified engineer addresses the issue by stabilizing the components at risk. Balconies are another good example. If remedial work is recommended in the report, the condominium should initiate corrective action. Our staff will monitor compliance with the report, and if the building fails to address the deficiencies, the case will be escalated to code enforcement. This situation presents significant challenges. While many buildings comply with the BSIP, others do not. Some attempt to delay repairs by changing board members or canceling contracts to secure better pricing. Contract regulation does not fall within our purview. Provided that permits have been issued and work is progressing, we refrain from referring to the magistrate hearing. However, lack of progress will result in referral to the magistrate, where additional time may be granted or fines imposed until repairs are completed. In some cases these items can take years. Olympus Condominium finally completed their work after being the first and only building that was red tagged for their garage. I encourage very unit owners to understand that these projects do take time and plenty of money. The worst thing to do is delay the work. I have seen many voting boards disrupt progress in hope of stopping the costs. In case after case overall, it ends up being more costly and buildings are put at risk.

- Caring For A loved One During The Holiday Season
Caring For A loved One During The Holiday Season December 20, 2023 Share The DOs And DON’T’s For Families Who Have A Loved One With Dementia. With the holiday season in full swing, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) is offering tips to help the millions of Americans caring for a loved one with Dementia to celebrate the holidays with their loved one in a Dementia-friendly manner. “People with Dementia can still, and should be encouraged to, enjoy and participate in the spirit of the holiday season. Because of the way Dementia-Related Illnesses impact the brain, they may not be able to do it exactly as they did prior to the onset of Dementia,” said Jennifer Reeder, LCSW, AFA’s Director of Educational and Social Services. “By being adaptable and sensitive to the person’s needs and wishes, caregivers can help create a joyous, Dementia-friendly holiday season for their loved one with Dementia.” AFA offers these dos and don’ts for creating a Dementia-friendly holiday season: Do: Keep decorations simple. Decorating is part of the holiday season fun, however, too much stimulation may be challenging for someone with Dementia. Keep decorations festive, but simple. Instead of elaborate decorations, choose a few favorite items. Phase in decorations over a period of days so that changes to the person’s environment are less confusing. Don’t: Over decorate or use dangerous decorations. Too many flickering lights or noisy items could overwhelm someone living with Dementia. Changes to the person’s environment might cause disorientation, which may then lead to wandering. Be aware of safety issues: fragile decorations can shatter into sharp fragments and decorations that look like food or candy could be mistaken for edible treats, creating a choking or dental hazard. Do: Adapt past favorite traditions or create new and viable ones. Build on old traditions when appropriate, such as enjoying favorite music or movies, or looking at pictures of past holiday celebrations. Adapt past traditions as well; if the person always sent out holiday cards or baked holiday cookies and still wants to do so, do it together with them. If they can no longer shop for gifts for their loved ones, invite them to help with wrapping the gifts so that they feel involved. Start new traditions that center on activities and events the person enjoys and can do, such as touring neighborhood holiday lights; plan to do it together. Whenever possible, ask what traditions are important to your loved one—it keeps them engaged, and helps you prioritize and plan appropriately. Don’t: Dwell on past practices. Take a strengths-based and person-centered approach and incorporate what the person can do and what they choose to do now, rather than dwelling on what they used to do. Focus on those things that bring joy and let go of activities that seem too stressful. It is normal to feel some sadness about changes and losses, especially during a holiday. Acknowledge these feelings and then move on to new ways to celebrate. Do: Create a safe and calm space. Create a space where your loved one can sit comfortably during a holiday gathering, and where guests can visit in small groups or one-to-one. To the greatest extent possible, maintain the person’s normal routine when scheduling visits or holiday gatherings; disruptions in routine can be difficult for someone living with Dementia. Don’t: Neglect safety. Be very mindful of potential tripping hazards on the floor, such as wires for decorations, as Dementia can cause changes in vision, depth perception, and gait. Securely hook Christmas Trees to the wall to avoid falls and use Menorahs or Kinaras with electric candles to reduce fire hazards. Alzheimer’s Disease, which is the most common form of Dementia, affects more than 6 million Americans. The number of people in the U.S. with Alzheimer’s Disease is expected to more than double by 2060, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The AFA Helpline is available seven days a week to help provide additional information about creating Dementia-friendly holidays or any other caregiving questions. Connect with a Licensed Social Worker by phone at: 1 (866) 232-8484. Via Web Chat: www.alzfdn.org - Or Text Message: (646) 586-5283. The Web Chat and Text Message features can serve individuals in more than 90 different languages. Holiday Gift Guide for People Living with Dementia Holiday shopping and gift-giving can often be challenging, but even more so when shopping for a person living with dementia. Depending on the stage of disease, some well-intentioned gifts may no longer be appropriate or practical for the person. For the holiday season, the Alzheimer's Association released its 2023 Holiday Gift Guide, offering gift ideas for individuals living in the early, middle and late stages of Alzheimer's Disease. The guide also includes gift suggestions aimed at keeping those living with Dementia engaged and involved in everyday tasks, as well as gift ideas for the 11 million family members and friends across the country serving as unpaid caregivers for these individuals. 5 gifts for people living with Alzheimer's - in the early stages • Sticky notes or an erasable white board to list reminders or the day's activities. • Baskets or trays that can be labeled within cabinets or drawers. • Gift cards for ride-sharing services or a favorite activity (golf, movie, restaurant) allowing the person to remain active. • GPS trackers (bracelets, watches, small trackers) or enrollment in a safe return program to keep the person safe. • A "memory" calendar featuring family photos - write in special family occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. 5 gifts for people living with Alzheimer's - in the middle-to-late stages • Music playlists that include the person's favorite artists or songs. • Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that is easy to put on, remove and wash, such as sweat suits, slip-on blouses/shirts, non-slip socks, Velcro shoes, wrinkle-free nightgowns, nightshirts or a fluffy bathrobe. • Framed photographs or a photo collage created specifically for your loved one. Insert the names of the people in the photos to help with identification. • Soothing gifts that can help with anxiety like a handheld massage ball or a soft blanket. • Adaptive dining equipment such as no-spill cups, plate guards and silverware with specifically designed handles that enables greater independence during meals. 5 gifts to help with everyday tasks and keep the person living with Alzheimer's engaged: • A memory phone that can store pictures with the names and contact information of family and friends. • Nightlights that activate automatically when it gets dark. • A digital clock with large type to indicate date and time. • An outing to a movie, play or concert, sporting event, museum or possibly an organized holiday shopping trip with friends and family. • Engage your loved one in making homemade gifts for the family, painting ornaments, decorating stockings, table setting, scrapbooking or other activity gifts. 5 gifts for dementia caregivers • The most important gift you can give a Dementia caregiver is the gift of time. In fact, just a 20-minute break each day can help lower a caregiver's stress and help avoid burnout. • Self-made coupons for cleaning the house, cooking a meal, mowing the lawn or shoveling the driveway. • Gift cards and certificates for restaurants or meal delivery, laundry/dry cleaning services, lawn care services, computer/technology support, maid services, and personal pampering services such as massages and pedicures. • Books - in addition to giving novels on the caregiver's "must read" list, there are a number of books on caregiving and maintaining self-health. • Self-care items such as a bundle of personal care items (moisturizers, bath bombs and soaks, foot creams, scrubs, soaps). For more tips on how families affected by Alzheimer's and other dementias can safely enjoy time with family and friends during the holidays, visit the Alzheimer's Association website. The Alzheimer's Association provides information, programs and services at no charge to help families facing Alzheimer's Disease or another Dementia.

- Prominent Urogynecologist Peter Rosenblatt, MD Joins Holy Cross Medical Group | sun-times
Prominent Urogynecologist Peter Rosenblatt, MD Joins Holy Cross Medical Group South Florida Sun Times Jul 23, 2026 South Florida Urogynecologist Peter Rosenblatt, M.D. Has Joined Holy Cross Medical Group, A Multi-Specialty Physician-Employed Group Of More Than 180 Physicians Providing Services Throughout Broward County. He Brings 35 Years Of Subspecialty Experience In Treating Pelvic Floor Prolapse, Overactive Bladder And Incontinence Issues, Common Conditions That Are Often A Source Of Embarrassment And Cause Women To Suffer In Silence. Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and tissues that support the uterus, bladder and rectum weaken or loosen, and gravity causes the organs to drop. Women are frequently diagnosed as a result of vaginal childbirth; long-term pressure on the abdomen due to Obesity, chronic coughing or strenuous bowel movements; aging; and family history. Research has also indicated that the condition is especially prevalent among athletes. Although women of any age can experience pelvic organ prolapse, it is more common during peri or post-menopause than in younger women. “My goal is to make our patients feel comfortable sharing their concerns and become part of the decision-making process since there are often many different solutions to pelvic floor disorders,” Dr. Rosenblatt assured. “I am excited to work in the same community in which I now live and provide high-quality care for women in the area. I can already feel the commitment of the staff to providing care for patients of all denominations and for those who are underprivileged or disadvantaged.” Dr. Rosenblatt is an expert in performing laparoscopic reconstructive surgery for pelvic organ prolapse and minimally invasive surgery for urinary and fecal incontinence. He has also developed innovative surgeries for fecal incontinence using a mesh sling and pelvic organ prolapse without the need for hysterectomy. Additional conditions he treats are overactive bladder, genitourinary fistulas and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). In addition to practicing medicine, Dr. Rosenblatt has pioneered new technology and taught fellows, residents and medical students at prestigious institutions including Brown University School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School. “One of the last taboo subjects that women find it difficult to discuss with their health care providers is accidental bowel leakage, also known as fecal incontinence,” he explained. “This condition affects literally millions of women and there have been limited options for treating women until relatively recently. Although many women may be effectively managed conservatively, I developed a minimally invasive surgical procedure called TOPAS that has been shown to be very effective.” Dr. Rosenblatt graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor of Arts in Biopsychology and earned his medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine. He completed an internship and residency in obstetrics and gynecology at University of Massachusetts Medical School, as well as a fellowship in urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery at Brown University School of Medicine, Women & Infants’ Hospital. He was drawn to specialize in this field during his training because he discovered pelvic floor disorders are underreported by women and underrecognized by clinicians, and he wanted to provide the solution. “There’s a large demand for urogynecology services in our community. The addition of another skilled Urogynecologist ensures that women have access to the much-needed care they deserve. Dr. Rosenblatt’s surgical training and outcomes are outstanding. He conveys confidence yet is humble. His approach is calming and reassuring,” said Kimberley Graham, Service Line Director at Holy Cross Medical Group. “Urogynecologists combine the expertise of a urologist and gynecologist. The volume of women in our demographic area that need his services and expertise will organically grow and elevate the image and quality of our Women’s Service Line.” Dr. Rosenblatt previously worked at Mount Auburn Hospital, Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center, Newton-Wellesley Hospital and New England Medical Center in Massachusetts, as well as Catholic Medical Center in New Hampshire. An innovator and industry leader, Dr. Rosenblatt has written research papers and is a sought-after speaker regionally, nationally and internationally. He has served on the Board of Directors for both the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) and the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons (SGS) and was President of SGS from 2019 to 2020. Patients may visit Dr. Rosenblatt at the Urogynecology & Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery office within the Holy Cross Medical Group – Women’s Center, located at 1000 Northeast 56th Street, Fort Lauderdale 33334. He will also be seeing patients at the new Holy Cross Health Center, located at 340 South Federal Highway, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33441. To schedule an appointment for Fort Lauderdale, please call: (954) 229-8660. For Deerfield Beach, call: (954) 542-0001. Or visit: www.holy-cross.com .

- Broward Children's Center Introduces Animal-Assisted Therapy Program With Certified Therapy Dog | sun-times
Broward Children's Center Introduces Animal-Assisted Therapy Program With Certified Therapy Dog South Florida Sun Times May 28, 2026 Broward Children’s Center (BCC) – A Nonprofit Organization Dedicated To Serving Infants, Children And Young Adults Who Are Developmentally Disabled And Medically Fragile And Their Families – Is Proud To Continue Its Commitment To Delivering The Highest Quality Of Care To Medically Fragile Children And Has Launched A New Animal-Assisted Therapy Program At Its Children's Comprehensive Care Center (Compcare). The Animal-Assisted Therapy Program Is Anchored By Wrigley, A One-Year-Old Boston Terrier Certified Therapy Dog And Marks A New Chapter In The Facility's Approach To Whole-Child Care At The Only Freestanding Sub-Acute Pediatric Skilled Nursing Facility In The Southeast United States. CompCare, located in Pompano Beach, is a 36-bed, Freestanding, Pediatric Skilled Nursing Facility that serves children and young adults from birth to 21 years old who have medically complex conditions and are medically stable. The newly renovated 15-bed nursery serves newborns to eight-year-olds. The Animal Assisted Therapy Program grew from an idea by CEO Marjorie Evans and CompCare Director of Nursing Meghan Nesom, MS, BSN, RN, who recognized the profound impact Wrigley's informal visits had on residents, especially an eight-year-old boy named Sam. Wrigley is the pet of Nesom, who would frequently bring him to visit the children. Once she realized the human-animal bond helped improve the children’s WellBeing and quality of life, Evans encouraged Wrigley’s formal certification as a therapy dog. Sam arrived at BCC’s CompCare after a terrible car accident changed everything. Sam was left with a spinal cord injury that took away his ability to move his arms and legs and breathe on his own. What followed were months in a pediatric intensive care unit, where machines hummed constantly and days blurred together. When he was finally stable, he moved to rehab, only to return to the ICU again for complications. By the time he was cleared for Long-Term Pediatric care, Sam had learned something no child should learn so young: how to protect himself by shutting the world out. In 2025, Sam was flown from Texas to BCC’s CompCare. He arrived with a small collection of belongings and a heart that had quietly decided not to hope too much. The BCC Staff was ready to welcome him and help him heal and grow into this new version of life, but Sam was not ready. He was quiet, withdrawn, and his answer to almost everything was a simple, automatic “no.” That was until the day he met Wrigley. Now, Sam is not the quiet, guarded boy who arrived with “no” as his shield but a child full of humor, preference, curiosity, and joy. Nesom now manages BCC’s Animal-Assisted Therapy Program and personally funded all of Wrigley's training. Wrigley officially joined the program in January 2026, after completing his training as an AKC Canine Good Citizen, having been trained and tested through a private dog therapy company. He visits the facility three to five days per week, and all visitations are supervised. Wrigley is current on all vaccinations and receives regular veterinary care. His parents were temperament tested prior to breeding. BCC’s mission centers on maximizing the potential of every child in its care, and the Animal-Assisted Therapy Program reflects that commitment in action. Animal-Assisted Therapy addresses Emotional Support, Anxiety Reduction and Trauma Recovery, needs that are especially acute among CompCare's medically complex population. Dogs offer something clinical interventions alone cannot: unconditional acceptance. Wrigley does not distinguish between a child in a wheelchair and one who is developmentally delayed. He simply offers love, and that nonjudgmental presence has proven transformative for residents. Animal-Assisted Therapy contributes to individuals’ Well-Being, supporting Physical Health and improving Cognitive, Emotional-Affective, and social aspects, leading to enhanced Emotional Well-Being, Reduced Anxiety, and Decreased Stress Levels. “Sometimes healing doesn’t come from medicine or machines. Sometimes, it comes on four small paws, with bright eyes and a wagging tail and the simple, life-changing gift of being seen, exactly as you are,” said Nesom. “Wrigley has given our residents something that no clinical intervention can replicate: the feeling of being loved without condition. For children who have faced significant medical challenges, that unconditional acceptance from a Therapy Dog like Wrigley is profoundly healing. It builds their courage to try, to engage, and to want more out of each day.” CompCare offers Long-Term Care to some of the most medically fragile and technologically dependent infants, children, and young adults in the nation. The highly qualified and experienced staff delivers State-Of-The-Art Medical, Educational, Therapeutic and Recreational Care to residents based on individual needs. Each child’s needs are addressed through individual treatment plans, and care is provided until the child is medically stable and can be moved to a less restrictive environment. The goal upon discharge is to send the child home with a network of care and support services to help maintain the child’s health and happiness in their own home environment. By partnering with clients and their families, Broward Children’s Center’s CompCare has been able to pioneer the development of Community-Based Medical, Educational, Social, Psychological and Recreational Programs for those it serves. Its mission is to deliver field-leading programs that promote the greatest quality of life for infants, children and young adults with special healthcare needs. The facility features Nursing, Respiratory Therapy, Intravenous Therapy, Ventilator Weaning Program, Assistive Technology, Diaphragmatic Pacing, Pediatrician, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy, Rehabilitative Services, Social Work, Recreational Activities, Educational Services, Certified Nursing Assistant, Case Management, Nutrition, Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), Pharmaceutical, Transportation, Cultural Needs, Discharge Preparation, Transition Preparation, Behavioral Therapy, Family Strengthening and Advocacy. About Broward Children’s Center: Since 1971, Broward Children’s Center, a private, 501(c)(3) NonProfit, has been providing Medical, Educational, Therapeutic, Recreational, Daily Living and Advocacy Services through its network of care to infants, children and young adults who are Developmentally Disabled and/or medically fragile.
