Dry, Dull Skin?

Dry, dull skin is the #1 patient complaint this time of year.

Harsh winter elements challenge our skin barrier, leading to discomfort and a lackluster complexion.

WICH. When thinking of ideas for our Arts + Makers issue, we were inspired by the talented local creatives who beautify our community with their work. Whether it’s local theater performances, the arts scene or handmade goods from local artisans, we were inspired by the creative culture our city is bursting with.

Some of our favorite arts-related things to experience around the area include the Bruce Museum, Samuel Owen Gallery, and Greenwich Arts Council. We love enjoying everything there is to find at Ada's, The Drawing Room and Back 40 Merchantile.

And if you’re on the hunt for a Valentine’s Day gifts for your sweetie, we recommend checking out Hat Attack, Dudley Stephens, and Welden Bags for something unique they’ll always remember.

LORCA COFFEE BAR THE INSPIRATION BEHIND OUR FAVORITE LOCAL COFFEE SHOP

WHEN THINKING ABOUT OUR FAVORITE LOCAL COFFEE SHOPS, LORCA IS THE FIRST PLACE THAT COMES TO MIND. Located inside Fleisher’s in Cos Cob, they serve up amazing coffee, an assortment of breakfast and lunch options, and the best baked goods. We spoke to Lorca’s owner, Leyla Jenkins, and discovered the inspiration behind Lorca!

Lorca has locations in Cos Cob and Stamford. Go for the coffee and stay for the delicious food! Each location has unique offerings in addition to their core drinks and baked goods menu.

I was inspired to open Lorca when I found myself overworked and unhappy with my job as an architect during the recession in 2008. I caught myself dreaming about what I was going to cook for dinner or bake that weekend. After quitting my job, I signed up for free business classes through the city of NY, worked part-time at a cafe, and nannied part-time. I pieced together some experience at several cafes, developed recipes, and put together a business plan to pitch to investors. Lorca was opened in 2011 in Stamford just 10 minutes away from where I went to middle and high school after moving here from Spain.

Growing up in a Spanish household, we would all congregate around the kitchen island and help my mom chop, stir, and sauté every night. Almost every significant moment as a family was spent in the kitchen.

16

Greenwich Lifestyle | February 2020

In Spain, an after school snack typically consists of something sweet. When we were living in Granada, I’d get home from school and my mom would come up with baking projects that were simple enough for a 6 year old to help her with. One of those recipes is the original version of one of Lorca’s staples: the orange olive oil cake.

GIVING BACK

GREENWICH H O S PI TA L F O U N DAT I O N GREENWICH HOSPITAL FOUNDATION’S MISSION IS TO SECURE FUNDING FOR GREENWICH HOSPITAL SO THEY CAN PROVIDE THE SAFEST AND MOST ADVANCED MEDICAL CARE. Since the beginning, Greenwich Hospital has been dedicated to delivering innovation and excellence in patient care, teaching, research and service. Greenwich Hospital is a member of Yale New Haven Health. The facility consists of 206 beds and serves lower Fairfield County and Westchester County. The hospital is a teaching institution and proudly represents all medical specialties and offers a wide range of medical, surgical, diagnostic, and wellness programs.

In October 2019, the hospital held a special ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating a generous donation from the Lindemann family in honor of physician James A. Brunetti, DO toward the refurbishment of the ICU Waiting Room. “This gift,” said Frayda Lindemann, PhD at the unveiling of the new space “is but a small

SUPPORTING A WORLD-CLASS HOSPITAL CLOSE TO HOME

testament to the exceptional quality of care and warmth Dr. Brunetti provides to all his patients and to Greenwich Hospital which enables such excellence.” The Lindemann family made this generous donation as a thank you to Dr. Brunetti for his expert treatment and compassionate care of their beloved husband and father, George Lindemann, who was a well-known community member and business leader in Greenwich.

GIVING BACK (CONTINUED)

In December 2019, the foundation received another notable donation, $3 million in support of Pediatric Services. The gift will help establish a new Pediatric Ambulatory Care Center and will name the Pediatric Emergency Waiting Room.

The new ambulatory care center will make patient transfers between the emergency room and the Center for Pediatric Care much easier.

Greenwich Hospital is embarking on a multiyear clinical growth plan, securing its position as the region’s leading medical center and healthcare provider. Areas of growth include pediatrics, oncology, heart and vascular, neuroscience and private rooms. By 2020, all patient rooms will be transformed to private rooms and plans are underway for a brand new 70,000 square foot Smilow Cancer Center Greenwich.

These stories show the impact that Greenwich Hospital and its doctors have on our community.

We encourage you to visit their website (giving. greenhosp.org) to learn more about the clinical growth plan and how you can get involved.

“Our mission is to provide exceptional health care and grow our clinical programs,” said Noël Appel, SVP and chief development officer of Greenwich Hospital Foundation. “A multitude of investment opportunities exist to partner with Greenwich Hospital for the future.”

WHAT IT IS Antique Chest STYLE IT Coffee Table PRO TIP Revive solid-wood pieces with little actual value by refinishing the wood to your liking.

Don’t be afraid to do something different, and don’t take things too seriously. If the piece you’re working with doesn’t have any real value, you have so many options to liven it up, including paint, finish and hardware.

Make your piece multi-purpose by turning the lid into a game table or by storing your cocktail accessories inside for an easy-access mini bar!

Spread the vintage love. Use antiques strategically and as accent pieces to keep your overall aesthetic from coming off as too dated.

Everything was absolutely perfect! I couldn’t have imagined it any better. The next day, every single guest sent a text saying how amazing the caterers were. You did such a great clean up you would have never known there was a party. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job and making my job so easy. It was such a treat to be a guest at my own party!
