TELEHEALTH IN NAPLES, FLORIDA
Obesity is a leading cause of the decreasing life expectancy in the U.S. Collier County is focused on fostering a healthy lifestyle with plenty of emphasis on healthy eating and many options for fun outdoor activities.
While Naples is a beautiful part of the world to reside, 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.
Women’s Healthcare
Naples, has the highly ranked Women’s Healthcare Physicians of Naples for that. They offer general obstetric and gynecology services for anything from endometriosis treatment to management of pelvic organ prolapse, including minimally invasive surgeries.
Some Activities I Personally Suggest:
- A walk through Naples Botanical Garden, a 170 acre tropical paradise
- Kayaking among the manatees and mangrove tunnels
- A relaxing afternoon picnic at Cambier Park
- A walking tour of Everglades National Park
- Paddle boarding on the coast
- An electric moped tour of the city
- A traditional Greek cooking class
- Beach games!
- Fogg Cafe, for a quick and healthy bite
In need of specialty, acute or emergency care? No problem.
