30 MAY 2020 By Ray Artigue In this time of upheaval, with concerns about the health and well-being of our families, it is most appropriate to introduce an Arcadian that provides care for the immediate neighborhood, not just now but year-round. Sarah Quinn is the founder, owner and medical director of Arcadia Wellness Center, a haven for those seeking a healthier way of life. The Center specializes in wellness medicine and personal care therapies. Their mission, “serving our patients better,” seems to say it all. “I treat every person like they are my most important patient,” said Quinn, “and we focus on the families that live in the area; people we know and can relate to. It’s localism with love.” Quinn was born and raised in Tucson, along with her two brothers and a sister. She knew early on that she wanted to go into the medical profession. “My mom was a nurse practitioner, so I got to witness her passion for caring for others.” After attending Grand Canyon University and earning both her bachelor’s and master’s degree in nursing, she worked at Honor Health-Scottsdale and St. Joseph’s Hospital. After that, Quinn returned to her alma mater to teach nursing as an adjunct professor. “That allowed me to give back as I’m passionate about health and wellness and people,” Quinn said. Her experience working in both hospital and clinical settings gave Quinn a perspective and understanding of the needs of various patients, and she has particular expertise in treating people with chronic pain and hormone imbalances and anyone wanting a healthier life. Among many accolades, Quinn was named to the prestigious “40 under 40” list by Phoenix Business Journal and So Scottsdale Magazine’s “People to Watch” in 2020. When Sarah isn’t tending to patients, she is caring for her growing family. A mother of three young children, she and her husband Ian stay extremely busy at home, juggling their careers with the responsibilities as parents and community volunteers. Sarah gives back by mentoring aspiring nurse practitioners and also serving as a Girl Scout troop leader and Hopi PTA board member. “Our family loves the Arcadia neighborhood and all that it offers. We are constantly riding our bikes with the kids, and of course, a stop at O.H.S.O. is always fun,” says the woman whose self-professed superpower is “juggling everyone else’s schedules.” Quinn also finds the time for personal adventures such as skydiving, competing in the New York Marathon and going on an African safari. “I believe in putting yourself out there,” Quinn said. When asked what advice she has for young people right now, she said, “Every crisis resolves.” Not bad advice for all of us these days. I’m passionate about health and wellness and people.” Sarah Quinn REPRESENTED BUYER 4 4 8 8 E L AFAYE T TE BLVD | $1,080,0 0 0 3745 E BE THANY HOME ROAD, PAR ADISE VALLE Y | $2,525,000 SOLD! eawhitwell@gmail.com www.fengshuibyemily.com www.EmilyWhitwell.com Laryn@LarynCallaway.com www.PropertyResultsAZ.com

31 MAY 2020 edwardjones.com Member SIPC Richard M Ross Financial Advisor 4350 E Camelback Rd #B100 Phoenix, AZ 85018 602-955-7654 I’m open for business, give me a call. Serving the Arcadia/Biltmore area for over 20 years Concerned About the Market? As a physician-scientist and your neighbor, I wanted to share some critical messages regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and what we can all do to minimize the risk of contracting the virus and keeping ourselves, our families and our neighborhood healthy. There is so much information out there coming from multiple sources that it is hard to filter it and know what to believe or take seriously. Here is a quick summary of what you can do, with some details below if you want to know more. 1. Continue to practice social distancing – it seems to be having an impact. 2. Wear a mask in public, wash your hands and avoid touching your face; teach your kids the importance of this as well. 3. Get tested if you have symptoms. 4. BE PATIENT. This too will pass, and it will take us all working together to make it happen more quickly. 1. Social distancing does seem to have an impact on the spread of the virus. But it means keeping our distance not only from people in public but also from those outside your immediate family and household, including friends. We can’t be sure who others have come into contact with, and unfortunately, many asymptomatic people can spread the virus. 2. Wear a mask when out in public, such as at the grocery store. There has been a lot of debate in the U.S. about wearing masks, and many people are stigmatized if they wear a mask in public. The data suggests it may reduce the risk of contracting the virus by more than 50 percent even with a home- made mask. Just be sure to wash or sanitize the mask and wash your hands after touching it. 3. Get tested if you have symptoms, which may include fever, cough, shortness of breath, loss of smell and/or taste, amongst other symptoms. Banner Health is one of the organizations offering testing, and information on how to get tested is available on their website (URL below). 4. Be patient. This situation is hard for all of us. It is taking a toll on all of us, socially, psychologically and economically. But it will pass, especially if we all continue to do our part. — For more: bannerhealth.com/ patients/patient-resources/covid-19 or cdc.gov/coronavirus. A message to the community Dr. Neal Jain
