[ngg_images gallery_ids=”396″ display_type=”ds-nextgen_royalslider”]

When Project Mend-A-House (PMAH), a nonprofit organization based out of Manassas, learned that a disabled resident in the area was in need, they partnered with Twin Air to help.

The resident is a quadriplegic living in Woodbridge, who had been living in a home without a working heating and air-conditioning system, said a release.

PMAH provides repairs and home care services to residents in the area.

To get the system fixed, the organization reached out to Twin Air, who donates two free service calls a month to Project Mend-A-House clients.

They were able to replace the resident’s system, so that she can live more comfortably in her home.

”Providing this system is simply a way for us to impact the quality of her life and those that care for her.  We’re excited about our partnerships with PMAH, Tin Man, and Lennox as a way to continue making a positive difference here in Prince William County,” said Aaron Tolson, Operations Manager with Twin Air, in a release.

According to Jennifer Schock-Bolles, Executive Director for Project Mend-A-House, it is essential for their organization to partner with local business in order to help their clients.

“Without the generous support of Twin Air, Lennox Parts Plus and Tin Man, Ms. Parker would still be without a functioning HVAC system. We would not have been able to help her without their intervention. It is the support of companies like these that allows PMAH to help more people and have a bigger impact in our community,” said Shock-Bolles.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
