Congratulations to Moultrie Creek Nursing and Rehab Center on its photo, “Rudine,” becoming the Third Place Winner of the 2026 Long Term Care Photo Contest!

Ms. Rudine spent her life riding horses, and she co-stars in the photo with her beloved horse, LELE. Ms. Rudine and the staff always look forward to the days when her friend brings LELE to the center to visit, instantly filling everyone with light.

The photo was snapped by Activities Director Michael Losiago, who is known for tailoring residents’ activities and engagement to their individual life stories.

Congratulations, Moultrie Creek Nursing and Rehab!

Wildfires and Equines!

Emergency Equine Assistance

For Equine Emergency Assistance:

Please contact your county Emergency Operations Center.

Mutual Aid and action must be documented through your county EOC.

St. Johns County Horse Council are working with SJC Emergency Operations Center.

In closing, let us take a moment to pray for safety and protection for our equine community amidst the wildfires. May our horses and all animals be shielded from harm, and may our barns, stables, and pastures be spared from the flames. May the firefighters and first responders be guided and protected as they work to contain the fires. May we all stay safe and calm.
