Flappin’ in from afar…

Yes, I’m a penguin—in sunny delight, Flappin’ through Florida, what a sight! From icy waves and winds that blow, I dreamed of warmth, so off I go. I slid, I paddled, left the snow—For sunshine, smiles, and hearts aglow. I didn’t melt, I found my place, In love, in care, in warm embrace. We penguins stick through thick and thin, With loyal hearts and goofy grins. And here at IMA, I truly see, A waddle of joy—my kind of family.

Waddle I do?

As the IMA mascot, I love visiting our seniors to bring warmth, companionship, and a little extra fun. Whether it’s sharing helpful health tips, celebrating milestones, or offering a friendly hug, I’m always around to spread good vibes.

And did you know? Spending time with animals like me can help lower stress, lift your mood, and even encourage physical activity? But there’s more to it—why a penguin? Penguins represent loyalty, unity, and heart. We stick together and look out for one another—just like we do here at IMA.
