4 Celebrated with a near-unprecedented three awards, Pennsylvania’s AIDS Resource has evolved considerably since it was founded in 1988, but the commitment of this non-profit to supporting individuals with HIV has remained steadfast since day one. Initially, the services provided by AIDS Resource centred around delivering comfort and dignity to those dying from AIDS complications across the Lycoming County region. As medical treatments have evolved however, so too has this organisation,andweexplorethemultitude of essential, life-changing services it today offers below. In the late 1980s, HIV/AIDS was gripping the US just like it was the rest of the world, and the unknown nature of the disease unfortunately resulted in a lot of fear and stigma, particularly concerning the country’s gay communities. Thankfully, in the years since, those living with HIV have benefited from significant advancements in medical treatments, meaning that people whose HIV is discovered early can often live a life just as long and fruitful as the average person. However, this is far from the end of the story. Despite prospects improving over the past 35 years or so, one thing that unfortunately hasn’t is the attitude many people hold when it comes to HIV, particularly in certain areas of the US. Be it a doctor examining a HIV-positive patient from across the room, or another refusing to provide preventive medicine to a gay man due to a personal bias, the team at AIDS Resource have heard it all over the years, and this is why their services encompass everything from prevention and education to free HIV testing and community initiatives. One of the most notable programmes delivered by the company over its more than 35 years operating in this space came just last year, with the opening of AR Health. A healthcare practice clinic dedicated to serving those living with HIV as well as the wider LGBTQIA2S+ community, AR Health delivers its comprehensive primary care services in a judgment-free manner, allowing everyone to access these vital primary care services, which can potentially save lives, without the sense of fear that may be felt at a standard practice. From preventative care services to help managing everything from acute illnesses to chronic diseases, sexual health testing and advice, and even house calls, AR Health’s primary care services for those living with HIV are as comprehensive as they are inclusive. Moreover, for its LGBTQIA2S+ patients, the clinic also offers free HIV testing and prevention medication, as well as additional resources based around general safety and security for the community, be it from violence, homelessness, or help overcoming mental health troubles. Led by Dr Haussmann, who served on the AIDS Resource Board of Directors for more than two decades and has operated the organisation’s PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention) clinic since day one, AR Health is bolstered further by a team of diverse, talented, and multidisciplinary AIDS Resource staff. Leveraging several decades of combined experience to provide expert care in an accessible, welcoming environment, this team are taking a proactive approach to nurturing safer, happier healthcare. This is a mission shared by the wider organisation, which has really ramped up its efforts over the past six years or so to reach as many people as possible across Pennsylvania. For example, by the time 2018 rolled around, AIDS Resource was marking its 30th anniversary and had successfully introduced a variety of client support services, ranging from transportation assistance and financial aid to housing support programmes, alongside its ever-growing range of medical and care services for which it has become well known. Apart from expanding into the neighbouring Elk, Cameron, Clearfield, and McKean Counties, 2018 also saw the launch of a free PrEP programme at the organisation’s main office in Williamsport, with this major milestone resulting in HIV prevention services being made available to countless across the region. This is something that AIDS Resource has continued to do in subsequent years, and one of its upcoming projects even entails installing free harm reduction and public health vending machines across the state. Be it HIV tests, pregnancy tests, condoms, Naxalone (a medication used to reverse the effects of opioids in the case of an overdose), and drug testing strips, AIDS Resource providing these items free of charge in its vending machines both removes the barrier of cost and eradicates the stigma associated with purchasing or accessing these items in public settings. Ultimately, this sets AIDS Resource apart in this sphere, as its non-profit status means it is available to honour its care commitment to all, whether they are in a position to pay or not. Since universal health coverage is not available in the US, AIDS Resource and AR Health are both able to impact health in ways that the country’s more traditional, profit-oriented healthcare providers cannot. Of course, this approach does mean that, like with most non-profits, the primary challenge for the organisation is funding. Luckily, AIDS Resource’s staff and board of directors are always developing new initiatives and implementing meticulous plans to diversify and secure vital funding for the organisation. As Executive Director Kirsten Burkhart tells us: “We are confident we will be able to increase our programmatic and organisational sustainability through a combination of several strategies, and believe that, through a robust fundraising plan combined with an organisational culture of philanthropy, AIDS Resource will be able to sustain, expand, and scale these (and other) programmes to effectively serve the community for the long term.” Best HIV Testing Program 2024 - Pennsylvania & Excellence Award in Primary Care 2024 - Pennsylvania & Healthcare Practice of the Year - Pennsylvania AIDS Resource / AR Health
GHP Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards 2024 With 2024 quickly drawing to a close, AIDS Resource has its sights set on the next wave of these community-driven programmes, with one part of its strategy for the coming years including purchasing a van and fitting it with supplies, so that the team here can travel to rural communities where access to services is limited, and provide the people there with the care they need. As Kirsten explains: “By reaching marginalised and isolated populations, our van will further our commitment to reduce disparities in healthcare access.” As this highlights, the journey AIDS Resource has been on over the past few years has seen it branch out from just providing medical services relating to HIV, with this mantle having been taken up by the company’s own offshoot AR Health as a result of its free HIV and STI testing services. Rather, with AR Health to boot, AIDS Resource has been able to go one step further, and, as the above initiatives show, help the HIV-positive and LGBTQIA2S+ communities across Pennsylvania through encompassing support and social services. Ten counties across Pennsylvania already benefit from the multiaward-winning services of AIDS Resource and AR Health, and even more are sure to follow suit over the coming years. Having been recognised in this programme for the second consecutive year – previously being named as both the Most Innovative Healthcare Practice 2023 - Pennsylvania and Leading Provider of HIV Prevention Programs 2023 – Pennsylvania – it is our pleasure to once again celebrate this non-profit and its leading AR Health primary care practice.

All hair transplant procedures are overseen by Dr. Georgios Zontos, the clinic’s Founder and a distinguished Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and member of its Board of Directors. After working for more than 13 years as Medical Director of Haarklinikken Hair Transplant Clinic in Denmark, Dr. Zontos decided to replicate a similar standard for hair loss services in Greece. Beyond his position as a highly skilled hair transplant surgeon, Dr. Zontos is also an avid researcher and educator. The doctor has published numerous scientific publications on hair restoration techniques and the mathematical modelling of follicular unit extraction, which have advanced the understanding and optimising of hair transplantation procedures across the industry. In addition to being a Diplomate of the ABHRS, Dr. Zontos is also a Fellow of the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery, the two highest accreditations in the field. Such certifications not only speak to his expertise, but also his commitment to maintaining the highest standards of medical practice and innovation. An accomplished professional, Dr. Zontos has developed the FOLLYSIS© System, an innovative software designed to optimise hair transplant procedures and patient treatment planning. The proprietary system allows for accurate assessment of hair loss and the production of customised treatment plans to ensure the best possible outcome for all patients. Led by a world-renowned expert actively striving to shape the future of hair restoration surgery, Zontos Hair & Skin Clinic has successfully set itself apart in the competitive market through its combination of cutting-edge technology, world-class expertise, and patient-centred approach.

Our goal is not only to provide exceptional results, but also to offer hope and effective solutions to those who have faced challenges with previous hair surgery.” By promoting education and combating common misconceptions about hair restoration, Zontos Hair & Skin Clinic aims to create a more informed and supportive environment for those seeking to regain their confidence. Coupled with its patient-centric methodology of treating each patient as a unique case with personalised treatment plans, the clinic takes a holistic approach that truly sets it apart as a provider of top-tier patient care.

The doctor is deeply committed to facilitating the continuous development of his medical team and ensures that each member is up to date with the latest advancements and techniques in hair restoration.

GHP Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards 2024 our extraordinary ability to transform the field of hair restoration,” says Dr. Zontos, “by combining advanced medical expertise with a deeply personalised approach to patient care and the continuous advancement of research in the field.” Dr. Zontos’ dedication to advancing the field is significantly displayed in his extensive scientific work and global influence, having been a prominent figure at international conferences to share his research and innovations with the global medical community. Additionally, his roles as lecturer and educator for the ISHRS and participation as an examiner for the ABHRS further underscore his influence in setting the highest standards of practice across the industry. His commitment runs much deeper than this, however; the doctor has made tireless efforts to educate both the public and the medical community about the importance of maintaining ethical practices in hair restoration. Dr. Zontos has taken a strong stance against the rising number of illegal clinics and non-medical personnel performing hair transplants, which often come with devastating results for patients. “A growing concern of ours is the proliferation of illegal clinics and unlicensed medical personnel performing hair transplant surgery,” Dr. Zontos tells us. “These underqualified practitioners often lack the necessary training and expertise, leading to devastating results for patients, such as hairlines, extensive scarring, and other complications. As a result, the number of repair cases has steadily increased, placing an additional emotional and financial burden on those seeking to correct past mistakes.” Dr. Zontos is actively addressing these challenges through ongoing education and advocacy. The doctor is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of choosing certified and experienced hair restoration professionals and uses both digital platforms and in-person engagement to educate the public, provide accurate information, and debunk myths surrounding hair restoration. In addition to this, Dr. Zontos is also committed to correcting complex cases, especially those that involve botched surgeries performed by unqualified practitioners. His corrective endeavours, in combination with addressing bad practices in his lectures, publications, and public appearances, have positioned Dr. Zontos as an advocate for patient safety and ethical standards, further solidifying both himself and Zontos Hair & Skin Clinic as a trusted partner for all hair restoration solutions. Building upon the momentum of its past achievements, Zontos Hair & Skin Clinic has a promising and dynamic future ahead. Dr. Zontos’ expertise continues to attract clientele from around the world, including the United States, Spain, Denmark, Turkey, and the United Kingdom, demonstrating the global reach of his excellence. This international recognition underscores Zontos Hair & Skin Clinic’s reputation as a leading destination for high quality hair restoration and complex repair cases. What’s more, Dr. Zontos tells us that he aims to push the boundaries of scientific research with a new study focused on advancing the field of hair restoration. His role as a reviewer for prestigious academic journals has allowed him to contribute to the scientific community through evaluating and supporting groundbreaking research, but this dual role as both researcher and reviewer will position him at the very forefront of the industry, continually striving to improve techniques and outcomes for patients worldwide. “Looking ahead, we plan to expand our services and integrate the latest technological advancements to improve patient care and outcomes,” Dr. Zontos tells us. “My mission is to not only restore hair, but to change lives by helping patients from around the world regain their confidence and self-esteem. For the remainder of 2024, Zontos Hair & Skin Clinic will continue to make significant strides in both clinical excellence and scientific contributions, solidifying our position as a leader in the field of hair restoration.” Contact: Georgios Zontos Company: Zontos Hair & Skin Clinic Web Address: https://www.zontoshairclinic.com/

12 Sep24363 A company wholly committed to excellence when it comes to ocular health and wellness, the story of Island Eyecare, British Columbia’s premier optometrist clinic, begins with the distinguished authority of its very own Dr Anita Narang. Leveragingalmost20yearsofprofessional, first-hand optometry experience, this industry leader has carved out a name for herself as a dedicated expert in the field, a reputation which she today uses to guide her expert team across a journey of vision enhancement, in turn, fostering a better quality of life for her patients and the local community. o fully understand what makes Victoria’s Island Eyecare so impressive, it is first essential to know more about the visionary behind it, the aforementioned Dr Anita Narang. Even during her time in education, Dr Narang’s excellence was on full display, be it through her achieving a bachelor’s degree in biology with a minor in business or graduating at the top of her class at the world-renowned Pennsylvania College of Optometry, both of which she did with honours. Such a strong education has then paved the way for this storied career. Starting with her externships at the likes of Philadelphia’s Einstein Hospital and the national Seidenberg & Protzko Eye Associates, Dr Narang quickly became knowledgeable on a variety of ocular disease and trauma management aspects, information which she then used to assist in a number of complex procedures and patient surgeries. During the 18 months she spent externing at these institutions, Dr Narang was even fortunate enough to come across every condition listed in The Wills Eye Manual bar one extremely rare disorder – which she would come across and treat effectively at Island Eyecare some years later. With this knowledge to boot, Dr Narang secured tremendous results in both her Canadian and US board exams, going beyond the 95th percentile on both occasions. Such a comprehensive understanding in the field, on both an academic and a practical level, resulted in Island Eyecare being established atop a commitment to personalised care and boundless innovation. This drive permeates across every level of her exemplary clinic, which focuses on delivering lasting relief for every patient, not just offering them a simple quick fix. Because everybody’s eyes are totally unique, so too is the service provided by Dr Narang and the team at Island Eyecare. Although clinical excellence underpins this entire operation, it is the comprehensive and compassionate approach to patient care that really sets this clinic apart, with eye health and wellness being assessed holistically. This means that, in addition to detailed regular eye tests, Island Eyecare is also incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to a range of eye conditions, from dry eye syndrome through to ocular surface disease. Such expertise has even resulted in the opening of a dedicated dry eye treatment center, where the focus is on swiftly and accurately diagnosing and treating a range of common and rare chronic dry eye conditions. Delivering a range of advanced treatments – something that Island Eyecare more broadly is also renowned for – the solutions delivered in this setting bring long-term dry eye relief for clients on a sliding scale of symptoms and severity, as well as those in search of more generalised eye care services. Dr Narang herself explains: “We are uniquely positioned to help those who need relief from the dry eye symptoms that impact their daily lives, including individuals with ocular rosacea or those affected by environmental factors.” She continues, “Our clinic is one of the few dry eye treatment centers with a dedicated focus on restoring gland function through techniques that stimulate collagen production, providing a holistic approach that treats the root cause rather than just symptoms.” In this area in particular, many of the patients who seek out the services of Island Eyecare have tried a whole host of solutions for their condition, usually to no avail. With a track record of successful treatments in tow that speaks for itself, it would be fair to say that Dr Narang and co. have transformed the lives of hundreds of patients suffering from dry eye, freeing them from the constant irritation and distress the condition often brings about. This is not the only way in which lives are being transformed here however, with the encompassing Helix MedSpa allowing the team to go that one step further, elevating patient experiences even further through a suite of aesthetic wellness solutions. Offering advanced aesthetic care, Helix MedSpa sees eye health and aesthetics blend seamlessly through such tailored and specialised treatments as eyelid rejuvenation, with additional treatments also available for the rest of the face and neck. “Our approach is built on extensive experience and a commitment to measurable results,” emphasises Dr Narang, “especially in providing long-term dry eye relief through Island Eyecare and aesthetic enhancements through Helix MedSpa.” Doing so requires innovation on an ongoing basis, and it is for this reason that, alongside integrating advanced technologies and protocols on a regular basis, collaboration is also prized, with Helix MedSpa being just one of Island Eyecare’s many like-minded partners. Yet another defining element of Island Eyecare’s service is patient education. This ethos sees patients empowered to know more about their conditions and how they can best manage them, rather than them having to go online after leaving the clinic and carry out endless, often contradictory research themselves – as often happens. An extension of this empowerment is also seen through the personalised care commitment mentioned above, which the team employ to nurture sustained improvements and healthier lifestyles all round. For Dr Narang: “Our success stems from our commitment to achieving real, measurable results – whether it’s improved comfort Ocular Health Clinic & Treatment Center of the Year 2024 - BC T
GHP Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards 2024 for dry eye patients or enhanced confidence from aesthetic treatments.” She continues: “By building trust through authenticity and expertise, we continue to grow our patient base and solidify our reputation.” This brings us to the future of Island Eyecare, which has prepared itself for further expansion by implementing even more proven services into its leading dry eye treatment center. These services are just the beginning however, with the rest of 2024 and beyond set to hold more patient education initiatives, making the services of this leading ocular health clinic even more accessible. Other plans for Island Eyecare include continuing to leverage its partnership with Helix MedSpa, as well as collaborating with other such eye care and medical professionals to allow services of this calibre to reach more communities and nurture accessible care models in the process. A company operating at the very forefront of ocular health and wellness, Island Eyecare has recently received an award from InMode for completing more than 2,500 patient treatments. Dr Narang puts it best when she says: “Receiving the award for our patient care achievements from InMode underscores our commitment and solidifies our place in the industry.” This is just one of the many awards picked up by Dr Anita Narang and Island Eyecare over the years, and we are delighted to be adding to this acclaim by naming Island Eyecare as the Ocular Health Clinic & Treatment Center of the Year 2024 - BC.
