🩱Swimsuit color impacts how easily you're seen in a pool or open water.
Choose colors that stand out so you or your loved ones stay safe.

Best for open water: Neon orange, yellow, lime green. 🧡💛💚
Best for pools: Neon orange & pink. 🧡🩷

❌ Avoid dark or pale colors. ⚫🔵⚪
They can blend into the water or be mistaken for shadows or reflections.

Yesterday, we officially signed a partnership with Operator Solutions to strengthen our emergent response and enhance how we care for patients in the most critical moments.

Improving the health and wellness of the communities we serve means preparing not only for everyday care, but also for the most complex and high-risk situations. By combining the expertise of our trauma teams and the resources of Health First—including Brevard’s only Level II Trauma Center at Holmes Regional Medical Center—with Operator Solutions’ advanced field rescue capabilities, we are reinforcing one of the most critical moments in patient care: the transition.

Since day one, we have been aligned around a single priority: saving lives. This partnership is uniquely positioned for Florida’s Space Coast, where commercial spaceflight, maritime activity and coastal risks require seamless coordination between rescue teams and hospital medicine.

Officials with Health First and Operator Solutions Tuesday gathered to formalize and celebrate a strategic partnership heralding a new era of specialized trauma response and critical care.
