Grantee Spotlight: Dovecot Farm

June 9, 2021

Palm Health Foundation supports Dovecot Farm’s Barn to Bedside Retreat, a unique equestrian experience led by Chief Compassion Officer Sarah Palmer and tailored specifically for nurses. Local healthcare heroes come away from the retreat feeling truly relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to continue their compassionate care for our community.





“Everyone comes back from the retreat with the same relaxed and renewed expression and cannot rave enough about all the things Sarah is doing out there. She really has a special gift. I feel fortunate and blessed to have been able to offer this after what has been a stressful year for all but especially healthcare workers.” 

– Ruth Schwarzkopf, RN, MHM, Chief Nursing Officer, St. Mary’s Medical Center

Aspen Institute spotlighted BeWellPBC , a Palm Beach County behavioral health movement supported by Palm Health Foundation, and their Community Connectors , a group of advocates that help improve the health and wellbeing of their neighborhoods by serving as a bridge between residents and private and public health services.  These Community Connectors are deeply trusted and have helped their communities navigate complex health challenges – like when one neighbor didn’t know what to do when her husband was admitted to a nursing home as his dementia worsened.
