Tucked along Savannah Road in Fort Pierce, Heathcote Botanical Gardens stands as a testament to the enduring power of community vision and green space preservation. Established in 1986, this nonprofit garden has grown from a modest idea into a vibrant cultural and educational hub serving the Treasure Coast.
In downtown Fort Pierce, a historic landmark has found new purpose as one of the Treasure Coast’s most memorable event destinations. 500 Orange Event Center, owned by Stan and Jean Synkoski, blends timeless architecture with modern elegance, creating a setting that feels both rich in character and alive with possibility for life’s most meaningful moments.
In the quiet intensity of a hospital emergency room, Colby Bechtold often wondered what happened to patients after they left. As an ER nurse, he saw many seniors return repeatedly, not because their conditions couldn’t be managed, but because they lacked support at home.

In the heart of Fort Pierce, a dental practice with deep community roots continues to redefine what patient care looks like. At Rowe Family Dentistry, a legacy that began more than six decades ago continues to thrive — built on a foundation of trust, compassion and genuine connection with every patient who walks through the door.
