Description

Vero was the name selected by Henry Gifford to establish a post office on his homestead in 1891. It served the six families that lived in the area. By 1913, the Indian River Farms Land Development Company had purchased 50,000 acres of land adjacent to the Gifford homestead and laid out a town site for Vero west of Mr. Gifford's land. The Town of Vero was incorporated in 1919, but not until 1925 did the name change to Vero Beach. By ballot, Vero Beach became the county seat of the new county of Indian River in the same year. Today's population is approximately 18,000.

Treatment: Your medical information may be used to provide you with medical treatment or services. This medical information may be disclosed to physicians, nurses, technicians, and others involved in your care at the facility, including employees, volunteers, students and interns at the facility. This includes using and disclosing your information to treat your illness or injury, to contact you to provide appointment reminders or to give you information about treatment options or other health related benefits and services that may interest you. For example: A physician treating you for a broken leg may need to know if you have diabetes because diabetes may slow the healing process. The physician may need to tell the dietitian about the diabetes so appropriate meals can be arranged. Different departments of the facility may also share medical information about you in order to coordinate your different needs, such as prescriptions, lab work and X-Rays.

Another fishing village on the mainland side of the Indian River, Grant is three miles south of Valkaria. Its post office was established in 1891 and served the mainland community and the families across the river at Mullet Creek. The Couch Company at Grant was instrumental in directing the construction work that finally opened the Sebastian Inlet and commercial fishing became an important industry in the part of the Indian River Lagoon. Grant is considered the seafood capital of the county, with the annual Grant Seafood Festival founded in 1966. This small town, with a population of 800, is the center for crab and oyster houses and a number of marinas.
