On our cover are local philanthropists John and Julie Kime, who have been deeply involved in the Wellington community for decades. They are also graduates and longtime supporters of Palm Beach State College and were recently honored by having their name attached to the new Dental and Health Innovation building on the Loxahatchee Groves campus. Learn more about them in this issue.
Keeping with our healthcare theme, we take a look at Wellington Regional Medical Center, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. The hospital has grown by leaps and bounds since opening in 1986. Meanwhile, if life has you stressed out, you might want to look into the new Mindful Meditation Club meeting at South University in Royal Palm Beach, also featured in this issue.
Our Palm Beach County cultural series continues in this issue with a look at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, where Japanese culture comes to life through programs, exhibits and its signature 16 acres of Japanese gardens.
Our Wellington Philanthropy series continues this month with a look at the Crowned Pearls of Wellington. This amazing group of women can be seen at nearly every volunteer initiative in the village and lead their organization with the aim of improving the lives of those in the community. In Wellington Today, Village Manager Jim Barnes looks at all the ways to create summer memories. Finally, Wellington Table visits Hausmash in Wellington Green Square, which offers a new, high-quality take on a classic burger joint.
We hope you are enjoying a leisurely summer. We will be back next month with our annual education-themed issue.
