LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The spirit of giving is alive and well in the Beaches community. Throughout December, volunteers from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, North Florida Chapter, and teachers from Ocean Palms Elementary School, offered free holiday gift wrapping for local residents. And, for the third consecutive year, Betsy’s Hallmark and Five Below provided paper and supplies. Shoppers far exceeded with their generosity, contributing nearly $3,000 in donations from Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve. Those donations will go toward research, and help provide services and assistance to North Floridians living with or affected by MS. Kudos to Judy at Betsy’s Hallmark and Rob at Five Below for allowing our organization the opportunity to move closer to a world free of MS.

Mary Daniel is a longtime Beaches resident, founder of local company ClaimMedic, passionate volunteer with organizations like K9s For Warriors and a dedicated fan of the Georgia Bulldogs. Mary Daniel

By Jon Blauvelt Can you please briefly tell us about your background? I was born in Jacksonville Beach and have lived in the area my entire life. After college I started working for Dr. Lewis Obi in medical practice management and have never looked back. I have had the pleasure of being the administrator for several beach practices including Dr. John Harris, Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery and most recently 24/7 Pediatric Care Center, which is owned by my sister and her husband, Anna and Nor- berto Benitez. What’s the story of your company, ClaimMedic? What makes it different? After so many years in practice management, which has included overseeing medical billing departments, I knew that medical billing can be confusing and frustrat- ing for so many patients. My husband and I are Mayo Clinic patients, and I have personally experienced medical billing errors from their billing department several times. I began to realize that others were also experiencing the same problems and that I could help. So, two years ago I started ClaimMedic to help seniors, caregivers and others with their medical bills. We are only one of five medical billing advocates in the state of Florida. We simplify the process to save our clients’ money, time and frustration. Our goal is to provide our clients peace of mind knowing that they’ll never again pay a medical bill that they don’t owe. What makes volunteering so important to you? I have volunteered all my life for so many great organizations, but the work I’m doing right now as a puppy raiser with K9s For Warriors is the most gratify- ing work I’ve ever done. As a puppy raiser, you get an 8-week-old puppy and keep him/her for 10 months. The job is truly 24/7 because the puppy goes with you everywhere, so it can be socialized and taught obedience. We’ve taken our pups to football games, to The Masters and THE PLAYERS Championship, truly everywhere we go. When the puppy turns 1, he/she returns to the K9s For Warriors campus for his/her official service dog training, and then he/she is matched with a veteran who suffers from PTSD. Twenty-two veterans are commit- ting suicide every day, so these pups will truly save a veteran’s life. To have this amazing organization in our own backyard is such a gift to this community. I would encourage everyone to volunteer in one of the many ways available, including becoming a puppy raiser. There is currently a year-long waiting list for veterans to get a dog. The puppy program allows K9s to fun- nel more dogs into the program, so we can serve these Photo by Jon Blauvelt warriors before it’s too late. There is truly nothing better than giving back to the men and women who have As a lifelong resident of the Beaches, what’s been the most are a house divided: He’s a Gator, and I’m a happy given us so much, sometimes at a huge sacrifice. noticeable change you’ve observed in the community?

Yes indeed, it is a difficult balance to accomplish, which is why I suggest we apply The Goldilocks Principle to this remarkable, problematic issue. For those of you not familiar with the well-known children’s story, “The Story of the Three Bears,” there was a little girl named Goldilocks that tasted three different bowls of porridge, and she finds that she prefers porridge that is neither too hot nor too cold but has just the right temperature. In other words, let’s not spend too much or too little, but just the right amount. Sure, that’s easy in theory but incredibly difficult, which is why this topic is often contested. Nevertheless, look at the chart on the right provided by Stockholm Inter- national Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
