Written by Jacksonville Business Connections Tender Care is a prescribed pediatric extended care facility (or PPEC for short). We take care of medically complex and fragile children from birth to 21 years of age in a daycare-like environment staffed with nurses,, CNAs, and therapists. Tender Care was the FIRST independently owned PPEC in the State of Florida with our initial center opening in 1988. This means we have 33 years of experience in the provision of loving care to this special pediatric population. Our goal is to enhance the development of each child in every aspect possible, through collaborative relationships between families, physicians, nurses, and therapists. This holistic approach to care is carried out in an environment that allows the child to engage in social interactions with their peers, meeting not just physical and medical needs but also their social and psychological needs as well. This results in thriving children, well-positioned to achieve their greatest potential. We also provide transportation to and from the facility, complete with handicap accessibility at no cost. Each one of our vans is accompanied by a nurse or escort for the child’s safety. While attending, Tender Care also provides nutritious meals throughout the day. For our children that receive their nutrition through a G or J tube, our nurses are proficient in administering these feedings as well. What sets us apart is that we care, we have passionate hearts for our children and desire to see them succeed. Tender Care Medical Services is "A loving daycare for children with special medical needs" Here is a short video about us as well. https://youtu.be/1wspuFIsXxw 👉Visit our website for more information https://www.tcms.care/ 👉Follow Tender Care Medical Services on Facebook Thank You Tender Care Medical Services for sponsoring the Polar Express Holiday Event & Movie #tendercaremedicalservices #babystationcovers #jaxbizconnectionssponsor #supportinglocalbusiness #eventsponsor #jaxbizevents #jaxbizconnections

Article written by Blog Post Contributor jacksonvillentdental Have you been going above and beyond in hopes of getting a promotion? Do you have an interview on the calendar for your dream job? In today’s world, it’s not only about your experience and schooling, it’s about your personality and soft skills. Fortunately, you have a powerful tool in your arsenal you may have forgotten about: your smile. To learn four ways a confident smile can help your career, read on! #1. Your Smile Is One of the First Things People Notice About You Did you know that your smile is one of the first attributes people notice? With less than a split second to make a good first impression walking into an interview or meeting a new boss, time is of the essence! Since a healthy, beautiful smile is associated with positive attributes like trustworthiness and capability, it’s worth flashing your pearly whites when entering the room. (If your teeth are looking a bit discolored these days, then ask a skilled cosmetic dentist in Jacksonville about professional whitening). #2. Your Smile Can Boost Your Confidence Once you land the job, there will be plenty of other people to meet, from the HR department and the owners to your coworkers. If misaligned, chipped, or otherwise imperfect teeth leave you feeling insecure, then you may not feel confident enough to introduce yourself (or talk to them at all). On the other hand, if your bright, straight, flawless smile adds to your self-esteem, you’ll be able to summon the courage to make important connections and friendships. #3. Your Smile Communicates Positivity and Confidence When asked, hiring managers shared that hard skills, like specific training, are certainly important. However, soft skills, are equally as crucial. In fact, 46% of those interviewed look for someone confident and a whopping 72% look for someone with a positive attitude. Luckily, your smile helps in both of those regards. While healthy teeth and a beautiful smile help you feel confident in your appearance, the mental effects of smiling consistently create a positive aura around you. #4. Your Smile Can Lead to Better Networking Networking isn’t just about who you know… It’s about who you know and how they feel about you. After all, knowing all the right people won’t help if you consistently make a bad first impression. The good news is that smiling when being introduced to someone and during the subsequent conversation can create a ripple effect of positivity, making them more inclined to build on the relationship. In short, a memorable, healthy, beautiful smile can help your connections get stronger over time. Don’t worry – if you aren’t happy with your smile, our skilled dentist in Jacksonville can help! Now you know a few of the many ways your smile can boost your professional success. If you have some career goals on your to-do list, then don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with our dentist’s office. The sooner you do, the sooner you’ll have the healthy, confident, beautiful smile you deserve! *** Ready to get in touch?

Written by Jacksonville Business Connections Thank You Dr. Cristina Padilla with Thrive Family Chiropractic for sponsoring the Wall Ball Squats for Tots Fundraiser. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Dr. Cristina Padilla spent her childhood and teenage years involved in sports, primarily volleyball, where she had her first experience with Chiropractic care. As a young girl, she expressed great interest in science and healthcare. The University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus is Dr. Padilla’s alma mater, where she received a Bachelor’s in Biology and had the opportunity to attend summer internships at both University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. These experiences sparked an interest in Dr. Padilla to continue to pursue studies in women’s and children’s health. In 2011, Dr Padilla relocated to Seneca Falls, New York to begin her Chiropractic education at New York Chiropractic College (NYCC), where she had the opportunity to expand her knowledge in Nutrition, Rehabilitation, Pediatric and Prenatal care. Following her passion, she began a 2-year program provided by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) that further trained and certified her in the Webster Technique for Pregnancy (certified in 2012), along with very specific care for infants and children through several different Chiropractic techniques (certification to be completed in 2020). Dr Padilla also received a certification in levels 1 and 2 in Kinesiotaping from KT International. In the summer of 2015, Dr. Padilla made warm and sunny Jacksonville, FL her home, relocating to be closer to family. Thrive Family Chiropractic, LLC was founded by Dr Padilla in the fall of 2017 with the idea that Chiropractic care should be convenient and accessible to all, with a focus on facilitating care for families, women during pregnancy and children. Throughout her years of practice, Dr Padilla has seen how challenging it can be for families to incorporate Chiropractic into their lifestyles and make it a priority rather than a luxury. With this thought in mind, Dr Padilla wants to provide the best, most personalized and individualized Chiropractic care to women during pregnancy and to children of all ages, to help improve their lifestyle, prevent chronic illness and allow them to express their full potential in life, sports, school. Since creating Thrive Family Chiropractic, Dr Padilla has focused on expanding her education into specific Chiropractic techniques like Craniosacral work (CST), pregnancy and post-partum rehab and preconception and pregnancy nutrition, in order to create a supportive and educational space for women and their families. Dr Padilla’s mission is that Thrive Family Chiropractic becomes a place where families come to receive education, learn about informed-choices for their children and that they feel respected and safe living the Wellness and Chiropractic lifestyle they desire and best fits their family dynamics. This practice welcomes parents from all backgrounds and beliefs and promotes healthy, educated discussion of public health and wellness topics related to pregnancy, childbirth, mother/fatherhood and overall healthcare. During her time off, Dr. Padilla enjoys traveling, especially to Puerto Rico, exploring new cities across the US, reading, cycling, training for half-marathons and the beach. To date, she has completed 3 half marathons. Her favorite quote is: “the goal is to die with memories, not dreams Contact information: Dr. Cristina Padilla 904-437-4546 thrivefamilychiro@yahoo.com https://www.jaxmobilechiropractor.com/ Help me support this cause - Find out more about how you can help in raising funds!

Written by Jacksonville Business Connections Thank You Jill Vickers with Southern Style Insurance for sponsoring the Wall Ball Squats for Tots Fundraiser. I was raised on sweet tea and Jesus in South Georgia. After college, I spent some time in Tennessee before settling down in sunny Jacksonville, Florida. Now, you know why my business is Southern Style Insurance! Growing up, I had chronic asthma and allergies that made me a regular patient of the emergency room and my pediatrician’s office. I took pills, inhalers, breathing treatments and allergy shots year around just to have a somewhat normal childhood. All of this was without health insurance… I watched my family do without so I could have what I needed..." Help me support this cause - Find out more about how you can help in raising funds!

Post by Melissa Lampugnano Realtor with Momentum Realty In today’s housing market, the number of homes for sale is much lower than the strong buyer demand. As a result, homeowners ready to sell have a significant advantage. Here are three ways today’s low inventory will set you up for a win when you sell this season. 1. Higher Prices With so many more buyers in the market than homes available for sale, homebuyers are frequently getting into bidding wars for the houses they want to purchase. According to the latest data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), homes are receiving an average of 3.7 offers in today’s market. This buyer competition drives home prices up. As a seller, this certainly works to your advantage, potentially netting you more for your house when you close the deal. 2. Greater Return on Your Investment Rising prices mean homes are also gaining value, which increases the equity you have in your home. In the latest Homeowner Equity Insights Report, CoreLogic explains: “In the second quarter of 2021, the average homeowner gained approximately $51,500 in equity during the past year.” This year-over-year growth in equity gives you the ability to sell your house and then put that money toward a down payment on your next home, or to keep it as extra savings. 3. Better Terms In a sellers’ market like we have today, you’re in the driver’s seat if you make a move. You have the power to sell on your terms, and buyers are more likely to work with you if it means they can finally land their dream home.' So, is low housing inventory a big deal? Yes, especially if you want to sell on your terms. Moving now while inventory is so low is key to maximizing your opportunities. Bottom Line If you’re interested in taking advantage of the current sellers’ market, let’s connect today to determine your best move. "I believe every family should feel confident when buying and selling a home."

Written by Jacksonville Business Connections Hi, my name is Melissa Munsell, and I am the owner and founder of Cover It. I invented a baby product called The Disposable Baby Changing Station Cover. It is a Patent Pending product that is a must have in every parents diaper bag. This product covers the entire public restroom changing station so that parents do not get any of the icky germs that are on public restroom changing stations on their baby while they are being changed. This is the only product like it on the market in that it does cover the entire changing stations because as we all know babies do not lay still during a diaper change and they want to touch everything with their sweet little hands. This is made of a printed, non woven fabric on the top with a PE Film on the bottom so nothing can permeate through to the top where baby lays. On the back there are also 4 tape tabs that secure the cover to the station. And you simply throw it away with your diaper when you are done. No taking any germs home with you in your diaper bag anymore. No more fears of having to change your baby on a changing table that you have no idea what was there before you got there.
