Happy June, SynerLINK friends,

This month’s lead article is a collection of highlights of my media appearances and writings over the past year, including articles about SynerGenius programs and services.  This collection is especially for those who may not be active in social media, because I wanted to make sure everyone in our community was up on the latest happenings.

Best wishes for your health and happiness,
Chanel Helgason, MD
