Collin County Living Well Magazine Summer 2014 | Seite 6

From the Publisher Find Your passion W elcome to the summer edition of LIVING WELL Magazine, your hometown resource for educational articles written by local leading medical and business professionals in the area. They provide you with relevant information on everything from cutting edge medical news and procedures to toptier financial advice to help you thrive past 50 and beyond. This publication wouldn’t be possible without our knowledgeable group of content partners. They are leaders in their fields and their efforts to bring you engaging, educational content are not lost on us. With that in mind, we want to thank each of them for sharing their knowledge with our readers. Helping baby boomers and their aging parents navigate life is one of our passions and one of the main reasons we started this magazine––we know our valued content providers feel the same way. On the subject of passion, sometimes what you’re meant to do with your life presents itself in the most unexpected of ways. In our cover story, find out how the love of sports and fitness helped drive OrthoCARE doctors Reggie Alexander and Nere Onosode to become specialists in orthopedics. Meanwhile, for Alex Trebek, our celebrity profile, he was driven early on in life to make it in broadcasting. Little did he know that his career path would lead him to become the host of Jeopardy! In this issue, read about how he landed this plum role on a celebrated game show to become one of the most recognizable television personalities. You never know how you’re meant to find what your passion is or what you’re meant to do later on in life. So, be inspired, and go try new things. But, before you do, pass along this issue to friends and colleagues and encourage them to read the educational articles inside.
