The coast boasts a ton of recreational activities including: hiking, boating, golfing, and of course, fishing!

If seafood is your choice cuisine, be sure to stop in at the Fish Tale Grill or Lobster Lady Seafood Market & Bistro. And don’t worry, if all of the amazing seafood the coast has to offer flares up some gout aka gouty arthritis, an online visit with the doctor can offer instant remedy and relief!

The Cons:

Florida is home to many insects, including mosquitos, spiders and scorpions. Fortunately insect bites are common complaints which are easily handled via telehealth! The Saharan dust blowing over Florida in the summer months has caused a lot of new or recurrent allergies and sinusitis in individuals. Fortunately allergies, upper respiratory tract infections, and sinusitis are common complaints which are also easily handled via telehealth!

Regarding Health and Wellness

Many things nowadays, especially with the assistance of smart technology can be addressed safely, effectively, and conveniently via telehealth or virtual care. For example, many individuals now have automatic blood pressure cuffs, smart watches which monitor the heart rate and even the rhythm, pulse oximetry, blood sugars monitors, and more in their home. These self assessment resources aid the individual, and also help to facilitate the remote health care experience you have with your online doctor or provider. 

However, when health really isn’t going as planned, and individuals need hands-on acute or specialty care which cannot be provided via telemedicine, I like to recommend reputable and reliable resources in the community.

Some Activities I Personally Suggest:

• A stroll through the Historical Society Museum including the astounding rose garden
• Some time on the Coral Oaks Golf Course
• Hiking at Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park
• Have a picnic at Jaycee Park
• Tour Cape Harbour for dining and shopping
• Explore Fort Myers
• See the manatees at Sirenia Vista Park
