ORNOA Milestone 

On the first week of January we celebrated treating our "500th" patient. Like many of the patients we have assisted in the last 18 months, this lovely lady underwent imaging, lab work, consulted with a specialist and received her first treatment within 24 hours of arriving in Miami.  The next day she was able to fly home. We are so fortunate to be working with such dedicated physicians and medical centers.  We wish our team the best in 2012.

stepping out of the car. She was a poor candidate for an open procedure due to severe swelling, poor circulation, and diabetes. Dr. Gregorio Caban, Reconstructive Surgeon of the Foot & Ankle performed closed reduction and external fixation of the leg and she was able to weight bear with the external fixator within 2 weeks. The fracture healed in approximately 4 months without complications from diabetes or circulatory complications. Mrs. Loria is recovering nicely and is undergoing physical therapy.

What on Earth is Shelly Up To?

Shelly has decided to get in shape and is going about it

in all the right ways. She has become a patient at Elite Health Group, under the direction of clinical director Dr. Perry Krichmar. She is participating in the BioFit program and is seen here undergoing a stress test. While she pedals the bicycle her oxygen intake is being evaluated. This along with a series of biometric tests (hormone, thyroids levels and other key indicators) will help her doctor and wellness team evaluate her biophysics, so that the correct nutrition and exercise program can be developed to fit her specific needs. In the next few months we will be sharing Shelly's wellness progress and successes with you. You Go Girl!

 

BIOFIT IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT:  

  • You can achieve permanent weight loss.
  • Each person needs to follow a personalized, custom made nutrition and exercise program that fulfills their needs.
  • Everyone needs to connect their medical care and their health and fitness lifestyle in order to truly reach wellness.
  • You are never too old to start living a healthy lifestyle.
  • You are never too sick to accomplish some type of benefit from exercising and eating well.
  • Hormones play a crucial role in weight loss and overall health.
