Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the extraordinary courage of the first responders, healthcare professionals, firefighters, police officers, military personnel, and ordinary Americans who stepped forward to help others.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives taken that day, the families who carry their loss, and all those whose lives were forever changed.

We also remember the unity, compassion, courage, and strength Americans showed in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

At Coastal Primary Care, we join our patients, families, and community in honoring their memory.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

⚠️ Florida is one of eight states that received recalled imported ready-to-eat pork guanciale (dry-cured pork jowl) contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.

Consumption of food contaminated with Lm can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected.

Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and persons with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. Persons in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food.

FSIS is concerned that some products may be in food service and retail refrigerators and freezers. Food service and retail locations are urged not to serve or sell these products. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. 👇

⚠️ As of the latest available reporting, Florida has reported 12 confirmed cases of Vibrio vulnificus in 2026, including one death. Recent reports indicate the total increased from 11 to 12 after the Florida Department of Health's July 23 update.

Vibrio vulnificus is a naturally occurring bacterium found in warm saltwater and brackish water, especially during the summer months. People can become infected by:
- Exposing an open wound to warm coastal water.
- Eating raw or undercooked oysters or other shellfish.

The risk of severe illness is highest for people with:
- Liver disease.
- Diabetes.
- Cancer.
- Weakened immune systems.
- Other chronic health conditions

To reduce your risk:
- Avoid entering salt or brackish water with cuts, scrapes, recent tattoos, or surgical wounds.
- Cover wounds with a waterproof bandage if water exposure cannot be avoided.
- Eat shellfish only when thoroughly cooked, especially oysters.
- Seek immediate medical care if a wound becomes rapidly painful, swollen, blistered, or if fever develops after coastal water exposure.
