THE VALLEY BUSINESS JOURNAL 22 www.TheValleyBusinessJournal.com May 2017 Loma Linda University Medical Center Awarded Advanced Certification for Comprehensive Stroke Centers Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) is the first and only hospital in the Inland Empire to earn The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Heart-Check mark for Advanced Certification for Comprehensive Stroke Centers. With this certification, LLUMC joins an elite group of health care organizations focused on highly-specialized stroke care. LLUMC underwent a rigorous onsite review earlier this year when Joint Commission experts evaluated compliance with stroke-related standards and requirements. To be eligible, LLUMC had to demonstrate compliance with stroke-related standards as a Primary Stroke Center and meet additional requirements, including those related to advanced imaging capabilities, 24/7 availability of advanced, specialized treatments, and providing staff with the unique education and competencies to care for complex stroke patients. Lyndon Edwards, senior vice president, adult hospital services, said this designation is a testament to the organization’s commitment to the health of the community. “At Loma Linda University Health we are committed to providing quick, innovative, compassionate care from the minute patients arrive.” The stroke program at LLUMC is an alliance of health professionals all working toward the common goal of protecting and healing stroke patients from when they have a stroke to when they go home and beyond. Collaborative care is delivered by specialty-trained physicians and nurses in neurology, emergency medicine, neuro-critical care, endovascular and cerebrovascular neurosurgery, interventional neuroradiology, vascular surgery and neuro-rehabilitation. Additionally, the multidisciplinary team is staffed with trained physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapists, as well as nutritionists, case managers and social workers. Education is a key element of the stroke program, which is committed to educating staff and patients and their families alike in the care and prevention of stroke. It is dedicated to the continual pursuit of the highest quality of health care by tracking significant outcomes to effectively evaluate its methods. According to Vincent V. Truong, MD, director, Loma Linda University Health Comprehensive Stroke Center, the stroke program strives to streamline an interdisciplinary effort to rapidly recognize and treat stroke patients with the highest quality of care. “When timing is critical you want a stroke center that is prepared to deliver the most advanced, comprehensive stroke care at any time,” Truong said, “and our recent designation proves we can do just that. From stroke prevention through rehabilitation, Loma Linda University Health is committed to caring for our community.” For more information on the stroke program, visit lomalindastroke.org or call 909-558-2880.

May 2017 Microdermabrasion Healthy Living by Tina Monique M. Gottlieb, deGroot D.C. THE VALLEY BUSINESS JOURNAL www.TheValleyBusinessJournal.com Microdermabrasions have been popular treatments for several skin concerns for quite some time now. It’s generally a treatment that many people have heard of but aren’t informed about. We regularly perform Microdermabrasions (also known as micros) here at Murrieta Day Spa and clients are pleasantly surprised with the results. A Microdermabrasion treatment is a non-invasive approach to skin care that removes damaged and dry layers of skin, stimulating the production of new skin cells. It is traditionally performed with a handheld tool/wand that gently removes the top layer of skin. The tool the esthetician utilizes uses has a rough diamond shaped head (they used to use crystals in the old days) that physically slough away dead skin and a light suction is applied to vacuum up the dead skin cells. There are several benefits to receiving a Micro. Firstly, there is no preparation needed and it is a convenient service you can receive whenever your schedule permits. It is also comfortable and virtually painless. Micros are suitable for all skin types and generally as soon as your Micro treatment is over you will see a difference in your skins appearance. It also improves the absorbability of quality skin care products so that you’re getting more “bang for your buck” from your skin care line. There are also long term benefits to receiving multiple micros every couple of weeks. Ongoing micros will keep you pores clean so blackheads and breakouts are less frequent. If you deal with acne scars or age spots, regular micro treatment will help to reduce the appearance of pigmentation. Also you will enjoy smoother skin regularly since micros also help treat fine lines and wrinkles. We have noticed that most clients enjoy purchasing a series of 3 to 6 Micros at a discounted rate. The goal is to come in monthly to ensure proper upkeep of your skin. Micros give years back to the face and neck by diminishing fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and sun damage. I highly recommend trying a Microdermabrasion or booking a consultation with an esthetician to assess your needs and recommend the best treatment for you. You will never regret taking care of your skin! Monique deGroot is the owner of Murrieta Day Spa which is located at 41885 Ivy St. in Murrieta. 23 If you deal with acne scars or age spots, regular micro treatment will help to reduce the appearance of pigmentation. Preventing Heat Exhaustion Healthy Living by Tina Dennis M. Petersen, Gottlieb, D.O. D.C. This summer, be aware of the dangers of heat exhaustion. Here are some suggestions for your safety. • Wear loose fitting, lightweight clothing. Dark or tight clothing holds in heat and doesn’t let your body cool properly because it inhibits sweat evaporation. • Do not get sunburned. If you’re going to be outdoors, wear a lightweight, wide-brimmed hat or use an umbrella to protect yourself from the sun, and apply sunscreen to any exposed skin. Having a sunburn reduces your body’s ability to rid itself of heat. • Stay in a cool place. Being in an air-conditioned building, even for just a few hours, is one of the best ways to prevent heat exhaustion. If your home doesn’t have an air conditioner, consider spending time at a library or shopping mall. At the least, find a well-shaded spot. Fans alone aren’t adequate to counter high heat and humidity. • Drink plenty of fluids. Staying hydrated will help your body sweat and maintain a normal body temperature. If your doctor has told you to limit fluids because of a health condition, be sure to check with him or her about how much extra you need to drink when the temperature rises. Avoid alcoholic beverages. • Understand the risk of some medications. Ask your doctor or pharmacist whether the medications you take make you more susceptible to heat exhaustion and, if so, what you can do to keep your body from overheating. • Watch out for hot spots. On a hot day, the temperature in your parked car can rise 20 F (about 6.7 C) in just 10 minutes. Let your car cool off before you drive it. Never leave children or anyone else in a parked car in hot weather for any period of time. • Be aware of your body temperature. If you travel to somewhere hot, or the temperatures suddenly jump in your area, it can take several weeks for your body to get used to the heat. You’ll still need to take precautions, but working or exercising in heat should become more tolerable. If you’re on vacation, you probably don’t have several weeks to wait, but it’s a good idea to wait at least a few days before attempting vigorous activity in the heat. It’s best not to exercise or do any strenuous activity in hot weather, but if you must, follow the same precautions and rest frequently in a cool spot. Taking breaks and replenishing your fluids during that time will help your body regulate your temperature. For more information on preventing heat exhaustion, contact Dr. Dennis Petersen at (951) 506-3112.
