The pair promoted their upcoming National First Responders Day celebration, set for Oct. 28, an event dedicated to honoring the men and women who serve and protect the community. Longtime Citrus County residents Drs. Nancy and Carl Irven stopped by the CapTel booth, where they chatted with representative Audra Hudson about captioned telephone services for those with hearing loss. “We’re retired and wanted to get out, be social, and reconnect with the health field again,” Nancy said. Local healthcare providers were also represented by Robin Holloway, nurse practitioner and owner of Inspired Functional Medicine in Inverness. She was joined by her team, including Holly Holloway, LPN, and Kamryn Corlew, member coordinator. The clinic, founded in 2022, focuses on a functional medicine approach that addresses the root causes of illness through personalized care and prevention. Holloway noted this was the clinic’s second year participating in both the spring and fall shows.
