Hope, Health & Community Connections

March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and on this episode of Suncoast View, we’re highlighting the life-saving importance of early detection with insights from Lakewood Ranch Medical Center. We also take a heartfelt look at grief and healing. When a child dies—no matter the age—the loss can feel overwhelming and isolating. Betsy Garner Wyant, leader and facilitator of Compassionate Friends of Sarasota, joins us to share how this organization supports families through unimaginable loss. Plus, the arts come alive as The Sarasota Ballet gives us a special preview performance of “Still Life at the Penguin Cafe.” Looking to stretch your budget? We’ll show you how to cut your grocery bill in half with tips from Sunflower Market Discount Grocery Store. And in the Rice’s Appliance Kitchen, we’re cooking up something special with friends from 81 Oaks Senior Living Bistro. Chef Pedro Flores and Executive Director Meghan Houlihan join us to prepare a delicious Key Lime Crab Avocado Napoleon. It’s a full hour of inspiration, community, and creativity—right here on Suncoast View.
