The most trusted Restoration company in the Temecula valley since 1989 Lic# 710901 Health Partners with Community Groups to Create the Autism Assessment Center of Excellence in San Bernardino Speaking at the January 6 Grand Opening of the Autism Assessment Center of Excellence in San Bernardino, Richard Chinnock, MD, says the center is a remarkable new resource for parents of autistic children. Loma Linda University Health joined 10 partner community agencies in the celebration of the Jan. 6 grand opening of the Autism Assessment Center of Excellence (AAC) in San Bernardino. Richard Chinnock, MD, medical director of Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) and AAC board member, said the center is designed for parents with autistic children. “It marks the culmination of five years of dedication and hard work,” Chinnock noted. “I am happy to report that this is one of the finest autism assessment centers in the nation, offering comprehensive diagnostic evaluation with multiple providers under one roof.” Angelica Munguia, the mom of an autistic child, spoke at the opening of the event and shared how she struggled to learn what was wrong with her son. After five frustrating years, she heard about the AAC and brought him in. Two brief sessions later, she received an accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations from professionals who understood what she had been experiencing as the parent of a child with a neurodevelopmental disability. The AAC is a collaborative effort of the following groups: • Autism Society Inland Empire • Children’s Network • First 5 Riverside • First 5 San Bernardino • Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) • Inland Regional Center • Loma Linda University Health • Molina Healthcare • Riverside and San Bernardino county behavioral health departments • Riverside and San Bernardino county schools, SELPS’s and pre-schools • Children’s Fund Kiti Freier Randall, PhD, medical director of the AAC, and behavioral health physician at LLUCH, applauds the coalition that came together to make the community a better place for children with ASD. “The agencies represented in the collaborative have, regardless of potential differences, remained committed to keeping the children at the center of the effort,” Randall reported. “The AAC is committed to continuing to work with the Inland Empire community to help maximize the quality of life for children.” About Loma Linda University Health - Loma Linda University Health includes Loma Linda University’s eight schools, Loma Linda University Medical Center’s six hospitals and over 900 faculty physicians located in the Inland Empire of Southern California.

February 2017 THE VALLEY BUSINESS JOURNAL www.TheValleyBusinessJournal.com Working Out Doesn’t Have to Be a Drag! 21 choose a few different Activities, and rotate them so that you don’t get bored You’ve heard it over and over: You need to exercise, not just to keep your weight in check, but also to strengthen your heart, lower stress, and prevent many diseases. But the idea of logging more treadmill time makes you want to hide in bed with a plate of nachos! Let’s face it: Some workouts are just plain boring, and it’s nearly impossible to stick with a daily routine that you hate. The solution is obvious (and no, it does not involve extra guacamole). You need to find a form of exercise that you enjoy, so that you can stick with your routine. In fact, you should probably choose a few different activities, and rotate them so that you don’t get bored. Contrary to common belief, working out doesn’t have to involve a gym membership or monotonous exercise machines. Try these activities for a more fun exercise routine that you’ll actually enjoy: Playing Frisbee. You can burn an average of 572 calories per hour playing Ultimate Frisbee. Look for leagues near you! Hula Hooping. This childhood staple actually makes for a fun, calorie-torching workout. Hula hoop classes are becoming more popular, and you could burn between 420 and 600 calories during a one-hour session. Rowing. If you enjoy water sports, check out rowing clubs near you. Rowing works your quads, glutes, shoulders, abs, and biceps, and burns 250-600 calories per hour (depending upon how hard you work). Salsa dancing. Look for a salsa dance class near you, and burn an impressive 393 calories per hour. As a bonus, many classes take place at local salsa clubs, so you can stick around and dance the night away after your lesson is over. Ice skating. While you might not make the next Olympic ice dancing team, you can still enjoy the challenge of learning a new sport. Plus, ice skating can burn around 500 calories per hour, making it both a fun workout and an effective one. Hiking. If you’re tired of doing laps around the neighborhood, head to a nearby state or national park for a hike. Strap on a backpack and increase your calorie burn to 500 calories per hour. These are just some suggestions for fun exercise options, but there are many more possibilities out there! The trick is to open your mindset about exercise, and be willing to venture beyond the local gym. Check online for Meetup groups, follow a few exercise blogs, or call that fitness-savvy friend for a chat. A little investigative work can help you identify fun, healthy activities you enjoy – and will keep doing for years to come. Steve Amante is the owner of Amante & Associates Insurance Solutions, Inc.
