Florida’s sun doesn’t take days off. For our outreach teams, staff, and community partners, staying hydrated isn’t just a comfort—it’s a safety essential. This summer, Integrated Healthcare System (IHCS) received a helping hand from 4imprint’s One by One Grant, which awarded IHCS $500 worth of promotional products.
With those funds, IHCS selected 100 reusable Halcyon Water Bottles—small but mighty tools that carry a big message: health, sustainability, and gratitude.
Hydration as a Form of Care
In Florida’s intense heat and humidity, dehydration can quickly lead to serious health concerns such as exhaustion, fainting, and heat stroke. These risks are especially high for the people IHCS serves—senior citizens, individuals with chronic conditions, and those experiencing homelessness.
For our Homeless Outreach Team, hydration is more than a wellness tip—it’s part of our commitment to harm reduction and preventive care. Every day, our outreach specialists spend hours outdoors building trust, delivering hygiene kits, and connecting people to housing and health services. Adding water bottles to those kits is a simple, practical way to care for both body and dignity.
A Gift that Keeps Giving
The reusable bottles do double duty. For staff and volunteers, they’re a thoughtful gesture of appreciation for the long hours spent serving Palm Beach County’s most vulnerable residents. For clients, they’re a health and sustainability tool—helping reduce single-use plastic waste while promoting hydration and energy.
By distributing these bottles, IHCS also supports its broader mission of wellness through education and prevention. Each bottle will feature the IHCS logo, helping spread awareness of the organization’s integrated approach to healthcare across the community.
Why the One by One Grant Matters
Since 2004, IHCS has served more than 25,000 individuals, providing behavioral health, primary care, case management, and supportive housing to people facing mental health challenges, substance use disorders, or homelessness.
The 4imprint One by One Grant celebrates organizations that make a measurable difference in their communities. By choosing IHCS, 4imprint recognized a model of care that looks beyond symptoms to address the whole person—mind, body, and environment.
Integrating Health, Housing, and Hope
IHCS’s team of licensed professionals works closely with patients to create personalized, trauma-informed treatment plans. Services include:
- Behavioral Health: individual and group therapy, psychiatric care, and substance use recovery programs.
- Primary Care: chronic disease management, preventive care, and wellness education.
- Supportive Housing: stable homes for those transitioning out of homelessness.
- Community Outreach: providing essentials, healthcare, and connection on the streets.
In 2024 alone, IHCS supported over 4,100 people, conducted 1,600 mental health screenings, facilitated 1,300 group therapy sessions, and provided 190 case management services.
Every number represents a person who found stability, healing, or hope—and small gestures like these reusable bottles make that work a little more sustainable.
A Ripple of Gratitude
IHCS extends heartfelt thanks to 4imprint for this meaningful partnership. Through their support, we can continue our mission to create healthier communities—one person, one service, one simple act of care at a time.
