AIM – ALUMNI – COMMUNITY We love our alumni at AIM and the work they do in their communities. We have decided to showcase our alumni and some of the great work they do in collaboration with other health providers or on their own. Watch for updates and see what our alumni, and your favorite LMT’s, are up too near you! BRA TO SPA Event! In collaboration with The Elizabeth Institute, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Glow, and two AIM alumni, Jennifer Vaughn, LMT, CLT and Juli Bossert, LMT, CLT, the third annual BRA (Breast Reconstruction Awareness) to Spa event was a great success this year! Complimentary spa treatments were provided for 45 women with a history of breast cancer. Approximately 50% of the attendees were past patients of Dr. Margo Herron, Plastic Surgeon, and the other 50% were women of all ages with prior or current diagnosis breast cancer. With the statistic showing breast cancer directly affects 1 in 8 women, events like this are important and positive. Jenn and Juli have both furthered their licensed massage therapy careers specializing in Manual Lymph Drainage and Oncology Massage, making this community event perfect for their specializations.
