Wishing you a Happy New Year!

Have you seen Baptist Beaches lately?

Everyone knows the beach has great restaurants, beautiful sunrises and a laid-back lifestyle. Not everyone realizes the beach is also home to a nationally recognized, award-winning 146-bed hospital.

Baptist Medical Center Beaches is an accredited Chest Pain Center and a Primary Stroke Center, meaning our cardiologists and neurologists are trained to provide life-saving care when you need it most. And, our recently renovated ER gives you even quicker access to safe emergency care. In fact, Baptist Beaches received an “A” for patient safety from The Leapfrog Group for the past two years. All of this care comes from our outstanding physicians, team members and volunteers who will make you feel right at home.

With more than 58,500 outpatient visits a year, you might be surprised at all that’s happening at Baptist Beaches these days. Learn more at baptistbeaches.com.

Dear DTC Visitors,

Deck The Chairs (DTC) is an exciting, monthlong, holiday celebration using the iconic red lifeguard chairs of Jacksonville Beach. Free and open to the public, the festive light display attracted over 40,000 visitors in 2015.

The goal of DTC is to promote community pride, foster private and public relationships, and provide a wholesome and lively destination in heart of downtown Jacksonville Beach during the holidays. Additionally, net proceeds from DTC benefit the Volunteer Life Saving Corps of Jacksonville Beach. Those funds are needed for training and outreach programs, and maintenance for its oceanfront facility.

The Volunteer Life Saving Corps of Jacksonville Beach is the only organization of its kind anywhere in the world. In three short years, DTC has made a direct and positive impact on the Corps and on thousands of residents, companies and service employees throughout the Beaches.

DTC is a gift for the beaches community and its visitors. We support diverse groups pulling together in a celebration of giving and hope.

On behalf of the DTC family, we look forward to sharing “Shine, Hope & Peace,” a first-of-its-kind outdoor digital light and music spectacular. We are also excited to provide ten Community Chairs that will dot our First Coast landscape during the holiday season.

Sincerely,

Kurtis W. Loftus, DTC Executive Director

The Volunteer Life Saving Corps (VLSC) was founded by Jacksonville physician Lyman G. Haskell, M.D. and Jacksonville Playground Director, Clarence H. MacDonald. Since inception, the corps has provided uninterrupted voluntary service every Sunday and holiday.

The American Red Cross joins with the Jacksonville Beach volunteer corps to form the American Red Cross Volunteer Lifesaving Corps (ARCVLSC).

The ARCVLSC builds a new lifeguard station with a boat room and second dormitory later being added in 1927.

The “Walters’ Torpedo” buoy is accepted by the American Red Cross as standard life saving equipment. The buoy was the invention of lifelong friend of the corps Henry W. Walters.

Construction on the current lifeguard station is completed. Fifty years later a large remodel project added new bathrooms, meeting rooms, central heat and air.

Bandi Moore is the first woman to join the ARCVLSC. The American Red Cross redefines its mission with the life saving corps requiring new funding sources to be identified. DTC shares new revenue with the VLSC.

The VLSC has provided more than 1,300,000 hours of volunteer service. Lifeguards provide life-saving services 7 days a week from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
