Welcome to bVital PC, the premier wellness, vitality and longevity center located in beautiful Park City, Utah. We are proud to offer not one, but two convenient locations for our valued clients during Sundance—our flagship location on 1755 Prospector Ave #100, and our location on 692 Main St. at the heart of Sundance.

At both of our locations, you’ll find the latest and greatest technologies for regeneration and life extension designed to help you live your best, most energetic life. One of our most popular treatments is our HBOT hyperbaric oxygen chamber, which uses pressurized oxygen to stimulate the body’s natural regeneration and healing processes. HBOT has been shown to reduce inflammation, improve sleep, boost the immune system, and may even help with weight loss.

But that’s not all we have to offer. Our ozone saunas are perfect for relaxing and detoxifying the body, while our EECP compression therapy sessions can help improve circulation and reduce soreness. And our team of skilled acupuncturists is trained in a variety of techniques to help you relax and rejuvenate.

But it’s not just about the treatments—it’s about the people. Our team of dedicated health professionals, including licensed Brain Frequency iTMS which is amazing for concussions, TBI’s, anxiety, depression, and addiction, are here to support you every step of the way. We’ll work with you to create a customized plan that fits your individual needs and health goals.

At our 692 Main St location, we’re excited to offer something extra special: a free NES health bioenergetic holographic voice scan. This cutting-edge technology uses your voice to create a holographic map of your body, providing valuable insights into your overall health and wellness. It’s a great way to get started on your journey towards vitality and longevity, and it’s our gift to you, absolutely free (a $197 value) when you visit us at our 692 Main St location from January 19^th to the 29^th.

Jenn Kikel-Lynn has embedded philanthropy in nearly every facet of her life. She has been in the philanthropy space for over a decade, and before establishing her philanthropy-based real estate brokerage, K Real Estate, she worked as Executive Director for three different organizations and has a unique understanding of both the business and nonprofit sectors. Alongside her boutique real estate firm, also known as “The Give Back Brokerage,” where agents and home buyers have the opportunity to give back every time a home is sold, Kikel-Lynn also has two active nonprofits of her own. 

The FMK Foundation was created after losing both of her parents to suicide. The mission is to share their story and promote suicide awareness, as well as to raise money for mental health support via a variety of art-based fundraisers. The foundation also trains individuals in QPR emergency response, designed to prevent suicide by educating the public on ways to help people in mental health emergencies. 

“I personally went through the QPR program,” Kikel-Lynn says. “It helped me to understand my childhood trauma from losing both of my parents, as well as, understanding their own stories of why they ultimately took their own lives. This cause is very important to me.”

MAKING CONNECTIONS

Across all of her roles, Kikel-Lynn is connected to 70+ charitable organizations, and her goal is to use her balanced experience to provide resources to groups working to give back. 

One method of fulfilling that goal is her “Give Back and Connect” group on LinkedIn, where organizations worldwide can connect to advertise their events and programming. Kikel-Lynn also organizes monthly networking calls via zoom, and quarterly lunch-and-learns to benefit the group’s 8,000+ members. 

“Nonprofits often don’t have a way to advertise, network, and connect with potential partners because they are so limited in funding,” Kikel-Lynn says. “My goal is to take that burden off of their shoulders through offering free methods for advertising, meeting space, and opportunities to meet other like minded individuals.” 

GET INVOLVED

Anyone interested in giving back around the state is sure to find a worthy cause through Kikel-Lynn’s networks. If you are shopping the real estate market, complete two goals at once by using K Real Estate as your Broker. Kikel-Lynn encourages all who want to give back to connect with her if they aren’t sure where to begin. 

“There’s always going to be a cause that I’m personally attached to that I could direct volunteers to,” Kikel-Lynn says. “Reach out, and I can help you find a cause that resonates with you personally, and learn how to give back your way.”

Mandi Schill’s pregnancy was healthy and uneventful, until she gave birth to her son and was diagnosed with preeclampsia, or high blood pressure during pregnancy. After receiving treatment, Mandi returned home to care for her newborn son and manage her blood pressure.

“I was diligent about taking my medication and checking my blood pressure day and night,” says Schill.

 One day, Mandi was preparing a bottle for her son when she suddenly felt as if she was going to faint. The feeling subsided but later that afternoon it returned and continued to magnify. She also became nauseous. Mandi’s sister Gina, who happens to be a nurse, called to check in with her and noticed something was wrong. She told Mandi to get to the Emergency Room (ER) immediately. Once in the ER, Mandi underwent testing that revealed she had suffered a stroke.

“I never expected the first night I spent away from my baby he would only be three weeks old, and that it was because I was in the hospital recovering from a stroke,” says Schill.

 For the next year, Mandi had 20 different visits to her obstetrician, neurologist and family physician to monitor her risks for another stroke, as well as other postpartum complications. Today, she follows a healthy diet, exercises regularly and continues to monitor her blood pressure.

Other mothers aren’t as lucky as Mandi. Pregnancy-related deaths have been on the rise in Utah for the last decade. In 2017, Utah experienced 17.3 deaths for every 100,000 live births in the state. Currently postpartum Medicaid coverage is only 60 days but according to the Utah Perinatal Maternal Mortality Review, 65% of Utah’s pregnancy-related deaths happen between 43 and 365 days after birth. Data collection also indicates that 92% of deaths were preventable. The American Heart Association believes all mothers deserve quality care and coverage before, during and after pregnancy. We must improve our systems of care to reduce these preventable deaths and protect families. Mandi agrees.

You’d be hard-pressed to find another healthcare system as mission-minded as Shriners Children’s. The 100-year-old organization has helped 1.5 million children worldwide with special healthcare needs, regardless of ability to pay or insurance status. At the Salt Lake City location, caregivers are leaders in orthopedics, treating everything from simple fractures to complex and rare orthopedic conditions. 

Shriners Children’s delivers a comprehensive range of treatments and services that help improve the quality of children’s lives and allow them to reach their full potential.

For example, a condition called arthrogryposis prevented Utah patient Claira from crawling, but the hospital’s Wheelchair, Seating & Mobility Department invented a baby wheelchair to help her move independently. Today, at age 2, she zooms full speed ahead in her toddler-sized power wheelchair. Claira’s mother, Shelby, reflects on her care: “You don’t have to walk to have a good quality of life. It makes my heart so happy to see her be able to play and get around.” 

The facility’s new Clinic Director, Natalie Raleigh MSN, RN, CCM, who has served the organization as Chief Nurse for the past two years, is poised and ready to help the organization grow. 

“I look forward to continuing to be a part of a team that provides the utmost exceptional care to our patients and their families for years to come. Shriners Children’s is a highly respected organization. I am committed to continuing this legacy as we work to enlarge our footprint here in Utah, reaching more kids in more places closer to home.” 

U.S. News & World Report ranked Shriners Children’s among its 2022-23 “Best Children’s Hospitals for Orthopedics,” and that goal is achieved through gifts of all kinds. Donations in any capacity help Shriners Children’s Salt Lake City deliver on its promise to provide “the Most Amazing Care Anywhere.” Every gift has an impact. Donations to the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization are tax deductible. To give, visit lovetotherescue.org or, for more information, contact Director of Development Nathan Clark at 801-536-3567.

“Our charity policy is deep and generous,” Raleigh says. “We’re driven to make lives richer, easier and less complex for children and families in Utah and beyond.”

THE MISSION 

The Subaru Love Promise Program is alive and well at Mark Miller Subaru. The retailer has two locations in the valley, but their impact extends far further. Through an open application process, Mark Miller Subaru annually selects from Utah’s litany of charitable organizations to find a lucky number of partners to support through events, donations, marketing, and other support. 

Together, Mark Miller Subaru and these organizations form quality collaborations with the unified goal of bettering Utah’s communities. 

“The idea behind Love Promise is that Subaru is more than just a car company,” says Jeff Miller, CEO. “We are part of the community and have a responsibility to make it better.” 

LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS

Among some $3.2 million in donations since 2010, one of Mark Miller Subaru’s most fortunate partnerships is with Discovery Gateway Children’s Museum. As part of their shared quest for promoting education, Mark Miller Subaru installed an interactive auto shop exhibit within the museum to teach youth the promising career path that can be found in the field of auto technicians. In turn, the museum’s teams revamped the kid’s rooms at Mark Miller’s locations for Subaru’s first-ever “in-store” miniature museums. 

“Rather than throwing a bunch of toys in a room and calling it a play area, we now have curated educational experiences,” Miller says. “We call them ‘satellite museums.’” 

It is prudent projects like this that have gained Mark Miller Subaru recognition on a national level: they have been granted the Love Promise Customer & Community Commitment Award several times in recent years and were named the National Love Promise Retailer of the Year in 2018. 

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

When making your end-of-year vehicle purchases, consider making a difference by purchasing from Mark Miller as part of the Subaru Share the Love Event, during which Mark Miller Subaru and Subaru of America will donate $500 for every new Subaru purchased or leased. The customer gets to select from participating charities, dictating where their contributed donation is allocated. And of course, Mark Miller Subaru encourages donations to their two hometown charity partners this year, Discovery Gateway Children’s Museum and Volunteers of America, Utah, during the Subaru Share the Love Event. Both organizations will be at the stores every Saturday during the campaign to interact with customers and share their goals. 

“Ultimately, we participate in Subaru Love Promise because it’s the right thing to do,” says Miller. “We want to encourage other businesses to do the same, to show that you can be successful while also being a great community member.”
