Skincare for Winter

Luxe Aesthetics delivers exceptional service and results through a strategic personalized approach.

ARTICLE BY HEATHER WHITSITT

As the hustle and bustle of the holiday season fade away, it’s important to slow down and take care of yourself.

At Luxe Aesthetic Center, you can check your worries at the door. Feel your stresses melt away from the moment you enter the soothing, tranquil environment, and leave with an enhanced appearance and rejuvenated spirit.

Since its inception in 2006, Luxe has provided the latest, medically advanced skincare treatments for women and men in North Orange County.

By staying at the forefront of the industry, the skilled staff is able to offer innovative skin care solutions with caring customer service.

According to Luxe founder Dr. Beth Haney, nurse practitioner (NP), the team strives to deliver exceptional service and results through a strategic, personalized approach.

“Our goal is to create a world-class and personalized experience for our patients from when they schedule their appointment all the way through to a beautiful, natural-looking treatment result,” she says. “Our providers do their best to customize

patient treatment plans for the patient’s skincare goals and budget.”

The Luxe staff certainly knows what they’re doing. With a combined 45 years of experience in the industry, they’re experts in offering a menu of highly effective skincare options, including non-medical treatments such as chemical peels, micro-needling, and dermaplaning, and medical treatments such as VI peels, dermal fillers, photo rejuvenation, and more.

Their collective expertise includes the role weather and environmental conditions play in your skin’s health. Particularly during the winter season, it’s no secret that the colder, drier temperatures can wreak havoc on your skin.

“The winter months are considered ‘laser and peel season,’” says Beth Haney. “This is because laser treatments can leave your skin temporarily photosensitive—or hypersensitive—to sun exposure. We recommend laser and IPL treatments are done in the Fall or Winter months when daytime hours are shorter, and less time is spent outdoors. We have treatment options ranging from the skin resurfacing CO2 laser treatment to a milder superficial exfoliating treatment like Dermaplaning,” she explains.

In addition to gifting their patients with remarkable results, Luxe Aesthetic Center is passionate about the greater good of the community as well.

As Dr. Haney, NP, notes, “Luxe loves to serve the beautiful city of Yorba Linda and the surrounding cities. Luxe continually supports the community by donating raffle/silent auction skincare baskets to local organizations, charities, and causes. Luxe is also a proud member of the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce.”

In the beauty and skincare business, customer satisfaction is key. This is a principle the Luxe team doesn’t take lightly—they’re dedicated to delivering the desired results every time.

“We draw inspiration from the culture, the team. Our team truly enjoys coming to work and loves what they do,” says Dr. Haney, NP. “The outcome of a happy team is a very loyal patient base. There is nothing more fulfilling for our team than when we provide a 5-star experience and patients are over the moon about their treatment results.”

ASSISTING HANDS IN YOUR HOME

Whatever challenges life may bring, there’s nothing like the peace of mind and comfortability that comes with being in your own home.

When a loved one needs special care, the ability to receive trusted, attentive services in familiar surroundings is truly priceless.

Assisting Hands is a nationwide home care brand that has been in business for over 20 years. The Placentia location is a small business that prides itself on being just that, a benefit that allows them to provide active, hands-on service.

“We are a 24/7 operation,” says Dr. Shana Koh, owner, and president of Assisting Hands in Placentia. “We treat our clients and caregivers like family, and we take business ethics and

integrity seriously by making sure our services, commitment, and attention to detail reflect those values at all times.”

Assisting Hands provides a wide range of services, including Senior In-Home Care, Elderly Care Services, Fall Prevention, Personal Care & Companion Services, and Coordination of Care.

“We accommodate those needing non-medical care by maximizing their health and wellness in the privacy of their home. Home care services are delivered one-on-one, assuring more private attention than a nursing home or a facility,” says Dr. Koh.

Services include things like meal preparation, light housekeeping, bathing and grooming assistance, pet care, medication reminders, and much more.

While Assisting Hands welcomes those of all ages, they especially focus on servicing veterans and individuals with special needs.

“The positive feedback we have received has been authentically rewarding,” she says. “We are veteran advocates and assist families to fill out the application sitting side by side.”

Assisting Hands believes that “health is wealth,” which starts by getting better at home.

“Home care promotes authentic healing, and research shows that patients heal more quickly and comfortably at home versus in an institutionalized setting,” says Dr. Koh. “There's nothing more valuable than being in your own space and living freely. Home care supports family involvement and leads to a higher quality of life, even when physical frailty is an immediate factor.”

The Assisting Hands team is driven by a strong sense of faith and a drive to serve those in need in the greater North Orange County community.

“Being around elderly friends and family has inspired the home care business, as we recognize and embrace the growing elderly demographics in our local communities,” says Dr. Koh. “We want to be the first to help them in times of need. With our home care services, we provide the caregivers to look after the well-being of our clients, because no person, regardless of age, should be alone.” assistinghands.com/99/california/yorbalinda/

HEALTH FROM THE INSIDE OUT

ARTICLE BY HEATHER WHITSITT

East Canyon Chiropractic has state-of-the-art, evidenced-based chiropractic treatment options to get the best you.

Total health starts from the inside out, and when you feel good, every aspect of your life improves. Your energy levels, mood, and zest for life exponentially increase when you’re taking great care of yourself.

If you’re dealing with issues affecting your spinal health like pain, or feeling out of alignment, or just want to boost your overall health, East Canyon Chiropractic in Yorba Linda has state-of-the-art, evidenced-based chiropractic treatment options to get you back in fighting form.

Dr. Terry Wilson, a longtime resident of the Yorba Linda area, has provided exceptional chiropractic care to residents at East Canyon since 1992. Dr. Wilson and his staff, which includes his wife and office manager, Carolyn Wilson, licensed massage therapists Paula Green and Judy Barbosa, and insurance specialist/accountant Pandora Byrd, consider each patient a blessing.

“Our business is all about improving the health and wellness of all the people we are fortunate to put our hands-on,” says Dr. Wilson. “We seek to recommend individualized treatment programs that are tailored to the needs of the patient.”

One of Dr. Wilson’s specialties is a decompression technique called Cox Flexion Distraction Decompression, a treatment that allows the clinic to help people suffering from different types of disc injuries, spinal stenosis, and difficult lower back conditions.

East Canyon Chiropractic patients seek care for everything from whiplash and auto-related injuries to

non-surgical pain relief, spinal adjustments, and even athletes looking to improve their performance.

Additionally, clients may benefit from massage therapy, custom foot orthotics, cold laser therapy, kinesiotaping, SolaJet Dry-Hydrotherapy massage, and therapeutic exercise services. Their CBD clinic options are used for treating issues like anxiety, insomnia, and different types of chronic pain.

The East Canyon team readily recognizes that no two patients are alike and that their road to recovery can be just as unique.

“We are a patient-centered, evidence-informed practice,” says Dr. Wilson. “My goal is to provide each patient with a rational treatment plan that addresses their individual needs. We also offer top-notch massage therapy with our massage therapists, who have had extensive experience providing massage services at the Disneyland Grand Californian Hotel and the Total Woman Gym.”

With over 30 years of dedicated service to residents of the Yorba Linda community, Dr. Wilson and East Canyon Chiropractic settle for nothing less than making a lasting positive impact in the lives of every patient in their care.

“We are committed to this community,” he says. “We strive for excellent customer service and want each patient to leave feeling that they have received more than they were expecting.” www.eastcanyonchiro.com/

SHAPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF HEALTHCARE LEADERS

KETCHUM HEALTH IS HERE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITIES THROUGH PATIENT-CENTERED CLINICS.

ARTICLE BY HEATHER WHITSITT PHOTOGRAPHY BY ART CORDERO, CORE MEDIA PHOTOGRAPHY

Students and faculty come from all over the country to be a part of Marshall B. Ketchum University—and who could blame them? With a world-class healthcare curriculum, sunny climate, and gorgeous scenery, Ketchum has plenty to offer.

As an independent, private, non-profit educational institution, Ketchum University is deeply invested in shaping the next generation of healthcare leaders—and their purpose is crystal clear.

“The work of the University is two-pronged,” says Dr. Julie A. Schornack, Marshall B. Ketchum University President.

“We educate and develop healthcare providers for the future in the areas of Optometry, Physician Assistant, and Pharmacy. Our attention focuses on delivering a curriculum that will equip our graduates for the realities of the healthcare system.”

Ketchum’s efforts to give back to local communities are an extension of their passion for providing mutually beneficial healthcare experiences.

“We operate a number of clinics in optometry and family medicine that serve their [respective] communities and provide educational opportunities for our students in all of our programs,” says Dr. Schornack. “We are fortunate to have these clinics, where the lessons that our students learn in the classrooms and labs can be further illustrated by serving patients in our community.”

The network of clinics includes Ketchum Health in Anaheim and Los Angeles, as well as the Family Medicine Clinic at Ketchum Health in Anaheim. Ketchum also has a presence in several community-based clinics in Orange County, increasing their reach.

According to Dr. Schornack, what makes Ketchum unique is the dual emphasis on both education and community outreach through healthcare.

“When you receive care at a teaching institution, the students and supervising faculty are wholly committed to providing comprehensive care that is grounded in contemporary practice,” she says. “We want our patients to be well-educated about their options and conditions so they can truly partner with us in moving toward healthy practices and outcomes,” she says. “We provide services to all ages across a wide variety of eyecare specialties in our clinics.”

Promoting health and wellness throughout the greater community is something the Ketchum University family considers to be an honor. “We are constantly grateful for their trust in us and the support they show us each day,” says Dr. Schornack.

As far as educating the next generation of healthcare professionals, that responsibility is not one the University takes lightly. “The work of educating health providers is a solemn responsibility, “says Dr. Schornack.

“We provide the extensive educational background necessary for each profession, but what’s just as important is developing the spirit of professional responsibility and obligation associated with health care providers. We take that role very seriously.”

Dr. Schornack encourages residents to take advantage of the valuable services offered by the network of patient-centered clinics. “We feel like we’re one of the best-kept secrets in the communities where we provide patient care. We are often overlooked as a healthcare option because we’re perceived as just an educational institution. We want people in our communities to know that we are here to serve.” www.ketchum.edu/

A transition in leadership offers a unique opportunity to honor the traditions and initiatives of past administrations and cast a new and focused eye on the future.

TRANSFORMATION HEALTH & WELLNESS BRINGS INNOVATIVE, PERSONALIZED HEALTH AND HEALING CARE.

ARTICLE BY HEATHER WHITSITT

“If you don’t get along well in the sandbox, build your own sandbox!” These words of wisdom inspired Dr. Jacquelyn Sammons to bring a longstanding dream to fruition.

In 2019, Dr. Sammons opened her own practice, Transformation Health & Wellness, a Medical Spa and Gynecology practice in Anaheim Hills, after growing frustrated with the confines of traditional medical care.

“I broke away from the conventional medical model when I envisioned a better way to approach patient care,” says Dr. Sammons, a practicing physician since 2007.

“At Transformation Health & Wellness, we treat each patient as an individual, with their own factors contributing to their health, or lack thereof. We take time with each patient encounter to ensure they are heard and that their individual needs are met.”

Along with her team, which includes Dr. John Zamarra and Nurse Practitioner Amelia Harman, Dr. Sammons brings innovative, personalized, genuine health and healing care to the Orange County community.

A BETTER WAY TO APPROACH PATIENT CARE

As a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist, Dr. Sammons understands that the mind, body, and spirit play a pivotal part in the recovery process and the essential need for balanced nutrition, exercise, and mineral supplements in achieving overall health.

“Health and wellness are so important to us that we literally put it in our business name! Our core belief is that the body has a fundamental ability to heal itself if given the right tools,” she says.

“The body is always trying to achieve its best health and functionality. Amelia [Harman] and I are here to help identify hurdles and set the body back on a path to healing.”

Transformation Health & Wellness specializes in a broad spectrum of services catering to individual patient needs, including regenerative medicine, exosome therapy, NAD therapy, IV hydration, hormone and thyroid balance, gut health restoration, dementia, neurologic disorders, post-viral syndromes, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, hair loss, weight loss, and more.

Beauty treatments such as facials, peels, fillers, permanent makeup, and waxing are available to boost patients’ confidence, as well as concierge medical services, laser treatment, and general women’s health care.

Although building a thriving medical practice is anything but easy, Dr. Sammons considers her professional endeavors to be a most worthy undertaking.

“It has been my honor to build this practice to serve the community. I wanted to create a safe and hospitable practice focused on patient needs. My vision was to create one location where a patient can receive most of their care to address all aspects of their health,” she says.

A commitment to compassionate, comprehensive care keeps Dr. Sammons and the rest of the

Transformation Health & Wellness staff focused on their mission, keeping patient-centered problem-solving techniques front and center.

“My goal is to serve the members of my community with the most cutting-edge medical care possible,” she says. “I want to provide as many services as possible to allow my patients to restore their optimal health.”

As a new year unfolds, so does a renewed chance to nurture our personal wellness. According to Dr. Sammons, we should treat our health as a top priority, rather than constantly pushing it to the back burner.

“There is nothing more important than an investment in our most treasured commodity—our own health,” she says. “We place value on so many material pleasures yet compromise our personal well-being by limiting our care to the confines of conventional medicine. There are so many therapies available that can actually facilitate healing. We must break down barriers to allow ourselves to access this knowledge and restore ourselves to our best health.”  transformationhealthtoday.com/
