Jamie Slovenski RN, BSN
I started my journey in the Health care field in 2005 when I graduated from San Jose State University with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing. This is when I decided to make patient advocacy and available health care for all, a priority in my life.
I have spent the last sixteen years at a local hospital in the Intensive Care Unit. I have also dedicated the last six years to the Monterey County Health Department helping victims of sexual crime as a Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner.
During this time, I have noticed a need in the community that is not being met. Our Emergency rooms are filled daily with people who don’t require a hospital level of care, most times a simple IV drip gets them feeling better. The time, cost and exposure to those patients can be overwhelming. I hope to decrease this load on our health care system and I feel the knowledge I have gained over my career has prepared me to provide this service and education to the public.
This was the reason I founded Injected Artistry.
My mission is to provide a service that not only decreases the need for hospitalizations and other expensive medical treatments but helps to promote better health and wellness through injectables and education.
I feel privileged to have the ability to bring a product to the public that will not only assist with my mission but in turn help people look better and best of all, feel better.
I am a start-up company that is hoping to reach the masses by proving signature IV hydration drips and injectable solutions that cover a multitude of purposes for health, beauty and wellness.
Christine Rochon RN, BSN
Clinical Manager
I received my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from the University of Ottawa, in Ottawa Ontario Canada. As a new graduate I was given an opportunity to relocate to the central coast in 2008. Since then, I have become a critical care RN, and had the pleasure of working in several ICUs over the years. The fast pace of the unit and the constant changes of medicine have encouraged me to pursue medicine from a different, yet very exciting perspective. My passion is now focused on helping and providing the community with their personal health and wellness journeys.
I am excited to dive into a more therapeutic, and personalized aspect of the health care system, and looking forward to helping the community as the Clinical Manager of the IV Lounge.
