Kansas City Tennis Star Jack Sock

Based in Overland Park, Kansas, Scott Sjoberg has owned, operated, and served as partner at Right at Home since establishing the in-home care and assistance agency in 2010. He is also a partner at KCMetrogolf.com and Adastra Metro Golf, as well as a general sales manager with KCTV 5. In addition to his professional activities, Scott Sjoberg enjoys playing both golf and tennis. Kansas is home to Jack Sock, one of the most accomplished doubles players in recent tennis history. Sock moved to the Kansas City area at age 12 to begin his tennis training in earnest. He posted a perfect 80-0 record as a four-time state champion at Blue Valley North High School between 2008 and 2011. In just his sixth major tournament, Sock partnered with Canadian Vasek Pospisil to win Wimbledon in 2014, defeating Americans Bob and Mike Bryan (the most accomplished doubles team in tennis history) in the final. The teams faced off again the following year in a quarterfinal meeting at Indian Wells, with Sock and Pospisil again triumphing en route to the title. Sock has won a number of additional doubles titles of note, including Wimbledon and the US Open in 2018. Partnering with Mike Bryan that year, he also won the ATP Finals and finished the season as the No. 2 ranked doubles player in the world. He has experienced further success as a mixed doubles player, winning the US Open in 2011 (in his second grand slam appearance) alongside fellow American Melanie Oudin. In 2016, he partnered with Betthanie Mattek-Sands to win a gold medal at the Rio Olympics. He also picked up a bronze medal in the men’s doubles tournament with Steve Johnson. Sock’s success as a singles player has been less consistent, although he won the 2017 Paris Masters, reached the semifinals of the 2017 ATP Finals, and has ranked as high as No. 8 in the world.

Federal Government Increases Funding for Alzheimer's Research

A resident of Leawood, Kansas, Scott Sjoberg is an experienced business professional and a partner at Right at Home, a home care and assistance agency based in Overland Park, Kansas. Scott Sjoberg maintains membership with various health-focused organizations including the Alzheimer’s Association. Recently, the federal government signed into law an increased amount of $350 million to be provided for Alzheimer’s and dementia research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The inclusion of $10 million was also legally designated for supporting the Alzheimer’s Act’s BOLD infrastructure. This part of the Act provides direction to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on matters related to funding allocation and the establishment of public health centers for Alzheimer's and Related Dementias. Since the National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA) was passed in 2011 as a national plan to defeat the disease, congress leaders have increased research funding for Alzheimer’s and dementia by more than six-fold and made it a priority to expand access to support services and care. Alzheimer’s is the most costly disease in America with over 5 million people living with the condition.

Being Organized Can Positively Impact Your Health

Kansas-based entrepreneur Scott Sjoberg functions as a partner at home health provider Right at Home, and KCmetroGolf.com. Additionally, Scott Sjoberg is an owner of Bee Organized Enterprises, an organization service with locations in Kansas City and Dallas. It’s no secret that life can be chaotic. Balancing the responsibilities of work, family, school, extracurriculars, and home can be overwhelming. The demands and chaos of life can often overflow into our living spaces, creating cluttered, messy, disorganized environments that only add to stress and discord. Investing time and money in organizational efforts can impact a person’s overall health and wellbeing. Studies have shown that living in an untidy environment robs its inhabitants of the peace and rest they seek at home. Instead of coming home to relax, they simply exchange one brand of chaos for another. This continual stress and tension can have adverse effects on their health and can lead to lethargy and inefficiency. An organized, tidy environment on the other hand, can assist people in their efforts to calm their minds, providing clarity and insight that would otherwise be difficult to achieve. People who live in an organized environment have also been shown to eat better and exercise more regularly. Cooking can be an overwhelming task in a disordered environment. When a pantry and refrigerator are stocked and well organized, however, cooking a nutritious meal isn’t as painful or difficult. In addition, general organizational abilities can create a margin in one’s life, allowing more time to exercise. An organization service can help families or individuals make order out of the chaos of life. In addition to bringing greater tidiness to basements, attics, bedrooms, offices, and garages, an organizational consultant can also assist with training and maintenance.
