Local Medicare Advisor Offers Free Annual Coverage Reviews
Posted by: Healthy Town USA | Posted on: September 8, 2026
With Medicare Open Enrollment approaching, local Medicare advisor Crystal Weise reminds beneficiaries to review their coverage before the enrollment period ends.
Open Enrollment runs from October 15 through December 7, allowing Medicare recipients to compare plans and make changes for the coming year. Even those satisfied with their current coverage are encouraged to review their plans, as insurers may change premiums, copayments, prescription drug coverage, provider networks, and supplemental benefits each year.
Many Medicare Supplement policyholders have experienced significant premium increases in recent years, while some Medicare Advantage plans have updated provider networks and drug formularies. Reviewing these changes can help avoid unexpected costs or disruptions in care.
Beneficiaries should watch for their Annual Notice of Change (ANOC), review their list of doctors and medications, and consider total healthcare costs—including deductibles, copayments, prescriptions, and annual out-of-pocket limits.
Crystal Weise offers complimentary Medicare coverage reviews. To schedule a review or learn more, call: 571-358-2553.

Introducing CARE® Esthetics at Palmer Distinctive Dentistry
Posted by: Healthy Town USA | Posted on: September 8, 2026
Palmer Distinctive Dentistry is proud to offer CARE® Esthetics, a division dedicated to regenerative aesthetic treatments that promote natural facial rejuvenation and healthy, radiant skin. Led by Katie Sino, DDS, CARE® Esthetics combines advanced technology with a personalized approach to help every guest look and feel their best.

PRF can be used alone or combined with microneedling to improve skin tone, texture, fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin quality.
CARE® Esthetics also offers natural bio-fillers created from PRF to restore subtle facial volume while encouraging long-term collagen production. The result is refreshed, natural-looking facial rejuvenation without the use of synthetic fillers.
Whether guests are seeking smoother skin, improved texture, or a more youthful appearance, every treatment plan is customized to their unique goals. Guests interested in learning more about PRF, microneedling with PRF, bio-fillers, or other regenerative aesthetic services are invited to schedule a complimentary consultation with Katie Sino, DDS, and the CARE® Esthetics team.

Wellness Center IntroducesCold Laser Therapy
Posted by: Healthy Town USA | Posted on: September 8, 2026
InsideOut Wellness Center is expanding its natural healing services with advanced cold laser therapy, giving patients a non-invasive option to support pain relief and accelerate the body’s healing process.
According to Owner and Practitioner Shay Hewitt, the effectiveness of cold laser therapy depends on the laser’s wavelength and power. “We use the MicroLight Smart Laser, which penetrates up to two inches into the body,” Hewitt says. “The light stimulates the mitochondria within the cells, helping them produce the energy needed to create new, healthy cells for faster healing.”
Hewitt says cold laser therapy works especially well alongside the center’s other wellness technologies. “When we combine cold laser therapy with our AmpCoil, PEMF, and red light therapy, we’re stacking therapies that work together to support the body’s natural healing process,” she says.
Cold laser therapy is commonly used to help relieve joint and muscle pain, support soft tissue healing, and promote cellular stimulation. Treatments are painless, take about 15 minutes, and fit easily into many wellness plans.
By adding this advanced technology to its holistic approach, InsideOut Wellness Center continues its commitment to providing natural therapies that help patients heal, recover, and improve their quality of life.
InsideOut Wellness Center is located at 1622 E. North St., Suite 4, in Greenville. For more information, call: 864-608-9984 or visit: InsideOutWellnessCenter.com.

Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach Elizabeth Adams is helping clients take the guesswork out of their daily supplement routines with her new Supplement Review Sessions, now available at an introductory price of $75 through November 30, 2026.

The review is designed to eliminate unnecessary products, identify potential overlaps, and help clients make more informed choices about the supplements they take.
