TITLE : PRESIDENT COMPANY : WELLNOW URGENT CARE
Melissa Rogne is the President of
Chapter Aesthetic Studio , which she originally founded as Rejuv in Fargo , North Dakota , and later rebranded under the newly formed TAG . When she opened Rejuv in 2005 , her vision was to create a unique facility that provides a positive working environment for like-minded colleagues in the aesthetic industry – those who had love and passion for the work they do and for the clients they treat . Since then , Melissa grew her practice to become the largest clinic in the Midwest , proudly ranked as an Allergan Top 100 clinic , a top 250 provider of Botox and dermal fillers , and the number one CoolScultpting provider in the Midwest .
John Radford , MD , founded
WellNow Urgent Care , formerly Five Star Urgent Care – opening its first location in Big Flats , New York – in 2012 . He positioned the company to provide communities with the kind of quality , walk-in urgent care he saw was lacking while he served as an ER doctor . Dr . Radford became committed to serving more communities and offering care that is faster , more accessible , and more affordable , while taking advantage of advances in technology . With new centre openings , and the acquisitions of MASH and Hometown Urgent Care , WellNow ’ s footprint has grown to 115 + locations throughout New York , Ohio , Illinois , Indiana and Michigan .
“ In creating Chapter , I wanted to offer skincare and aesthetics services to the broader population while offering the best customer service . When people feel more confident about the way they look , it changes their relationships with their spouses , children , friends – even their workplace habits . Chapter has the ability to change lives and transform families and communities through empowerment and self-esteem . Being able to offer that to patients on a broader level makes me so excited to become part of The Aspen Group family .”
“ I first started WellNow because I worked in the emergency department for many years and saw a need for more quality , walk-in care options . The ER was really your only choice for after-hours care , and it was expensive and not very convenient . I wanted to change things to focus on putting the patient first . So , we created a model to change that dynamic and make care easier and more accessible . Joining TAG has allowed us to extend that approach to even more patients in more places .”
