"Feeling relaxed"
I was very nervous when I got there, but in a short amount of time, I felt more relaxed. All the nurses were great and very attentive. I left feeling good and that everything was going to be fine, and it was.

Dr.Punuri HOSPITALIST
“Our family is thankful for Dr. Punari and her medical expertise as she helped my father recover from his illness. Dr. Punari provided guidance every step of the way. My father talks to us about how happy and grateful he is, and we are equally as grateful to Good Samaritan for giving us the wonderful gift of enjoying time with
our father.”
Deb RESPIRATORY THERAPIST
“I met Deb during my recent admission and was impressed by her professionalism and empathy. She helped me participate in my own care plan and anticipated my needs for a speedy discharge. Her ability to facilitate the process in advance was appreciated not only by me, but by her colleagues as well, who took notice of the effort she made to put things in order.“
Pat REGISTERED NURSE
“Pat is a warm smile, friendly conversation, and a warm blanket for someone anxiously waiting for surgery. I deeply appreciate the wonderful care my 91 year old mother received as she was prepared for surgery by Pat. I am deeply grateful to her for her compassionate ministry of caring. Pat embodies God’s love. Thank you.”
Liz & Belle REGISTERED NURSE & THERAPY DOG
“My husband has Alzheimer’s which has changed his ability to communicate and show emotions. However, when he sees Belle, he immediately becomes the man I know and love. He smiles, laughs, and maintains eye contact and has increased communication. Belle has connected with him on a deeper level and is able to bring my husband back, even if only for a short while, and for that I am grateful.”
Highly skilled SRMC security guard protects and saves - Featured in Vero News
Hospital security guards are often described in online ads as “someone who does not provide treatment to patients, but is a very visible hospital employee, often greeting patients when they enter the facility. Their main duty is to protect people, property and information as well as the hospital’s reputation.”
Sebastian River Medical Center security guard Matt Ferraro more than lives up to that description, especially the part about protecting people.
Hospital’s dietitians battle epidemic of malnutrition - Featured in Vero News
Sebastian River Medical Center registered dietitians Brittany Robinson and Laurie Beebe just dropped a bombshell on this Mecca for retirees.
Malnutrition, they say, is far more commonplace on the Treasure Coast than most people realize – especially among hospital patients in general and seniors in particular.
“I would say 70 percent of our patient population are patients that aren’t eating because they’re sick or have decreased energy and are losing weight, but not knowing why,” says Robinson, the hospital’s clinical nutrition manager.
