POSTPONED - DUE TO ISAIAS: State of Local Healthcare - a Commerce & Coffee event

DUE TO RECOVERY EFFORTS FOR HURRICANE ISAIAS, ALL EVENTS FOR OCTOBER 15-19 HAVE BEEN CANCELED.

Join the Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce for Santa Rosa County’s largest monthly networking event and a very special October program: State of Local Healthcare.

Healthcare touches every family, every business and every part of our growing community. As the Navarre area continues to grow, so does the need for accessible, high-quality healthcare services close to home.

Similar to our recent Breakfast with First Responders, this special Commerce & Coffee will feature a panel of local healthcare providers serving the Navarre area for an informative conversation about where healthcare in our community stands today - and where it is headed.

We’ll discuss topics such as access to primary and specialty care, healthcare workforce needs, mental and behavioral health resources, gaps in local services, new technology and services, the effects of population growth, and what residents should know about navigating healthcare options in our area.

Special Thanks to Our Sponsor

This month’s Commerce & Coffee is proudly sponsored by EcoWaste Solutions-formerly Adams Sanitation. We appreciate their support of the Navarre Chamber and their investment in programs that keep our community informed, connected and engaged.

Healthcare Member Showcase

We are especially excited to invite Navarre Chamber members in the healthcare field to be part of this month’s Member Showcase!

The Chamber’s Member Showcase is a great way to increase exposure for your business or organization, introduce attendees to your services, announce new products or programs, share valuable resources and connect face-to-face with members of our community.

Member Showcase tables are limited, so healthcare-related Chamber members are encouraged to reserve early.

A Light for Strength & Remembrance

As part of this special State of Local Healthcare program, attendees will have the opportunity to purchase a luminary for $5 in honor of someone who is currently facing a health battle or in memory of someone they care for.

This tribute is not centered around any one illness, diagnosis or cause. It is an opportunity for our community to come together and recognize the people and families whose lives have been touched by health challenges of all kinds.

Each luminary will represent a name, a story and someone who matters. Together, they will create a beautiful display of light on the Commerce & Coffee stage, shining in strength, in remembrance and in support of one another.

Proceeds from the luminaries will be donated to a health-related charitable organization, to be announced.

Luminaries: $5 each
