ShorePoint Health (Gold)
Congratulations to Melissa Coppola RN in ICU, who won today’s Daisy Award at Shorepoint Health Port Charlotte. Her nomination was a glowing commendation of her spirit. It read;
I would like to first of all thank my nurse whole heartedly for going above and beyond the standard care I anticipated receiving yesterday. I was given the diagnosis of “PE” in a very impersonal way via a phone call by a doctor who was caring for me. Upon
receiving the news I was extremely scared and felt like I had nobody for moral support. But soon I told my nurse my fears and how terrified I was to go home because I didn’t fully understand what was going on with me. She immediately stepped into action and contacted all the appropriate people to help me advocate for myself and to insure that I wouldn’t be discharged in my current state of health. I have never known a kinder nurse or more caring person. She genuinely listened to me and took immediate steps to let me know she heard my concerns and fears. She did her very best to console me and help me calm down….

Beware of Fake Websites Imitating Official County Services
CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. (May 21, 2024) – The Charlotte County Community Development Department would like to inform citizens about recent attempts to create malicious websites with URLs that closely resemble the official Citizen Access Portal address. The Citizen Access Portal provides online access to the county’s permits, licenses, plans review, code violations, and site plan review system. These fraudulent sites are designed to mimic Accela products and redirect users to unauthorized locations, potentially compromising personal information.
To ensure your security and protect your personal information, please verify that you are using the correct URL when accessing the Citizen Access Portal: https://aca-prod.accela.com/
If you have any further questions or need assistance, you are encouraged to submit a support case through the official support portal. Please visit: https://success.accela.com/s/
For additional information, call 941-743-1201. We appreciate your attention to this matter and your ongoing cooperation in maintaining the security of our community.
