MEMBER UPDATES 2 1. As we begin a new year it’s time to make a list of to-do’s including your yearly physical exam. Cooper Wellness in Dallas, Texas is taking it a step further by offering overnight stays for two to six days.

After the exam, the client has phone access to one-on-one health guidance with a Cooper coach. 2. The Golden Door in Escondido, California appoints Kayla Roche as Executive Chef—the first woman in this position for nearly 20 years and its youngest ever at just 25 years of age.
