YRMC Health Connect
Prescott native JC Trujillo was born at Prescott Community Hospital, now Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC). He was just six years old when his father signed him up for the Yavapai Mounted Sheriff’s Posse Junior Rodeo.
“I hung on to the side of that calf and ended up winning second place,” Trujillo said. “I won $10.80 and didn’t think I would see another poor day.”
Trujillo grew into a football and track star at Prescott High School. He attended Arizona State University (ASU) on a rodeo scholarship where he participated in the rodeo team and the won the 1968 intercollegiate bareback riding championship.
Trujillo earned an elementary education degree from ASU, but his calling was the rodeo. For 13 years he traveled the country on the rodeo circuit, winning the Bareback World Championship. In 1994, Trujillo was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame.
When he “retired,” Trujillo settled in Colorado and combined his love of rodeo and skiing into the Cowboy Downhill in Steamboat Springs.
But Prescott came calling and in 2004 he returned to his hometown as General Manager of Prescott Frontier Days, Inc., the World’s Oldest Rodeo.
“It was a giant circle that I made,” said Trujillo. “I left as a college kid and after a really great and rewarding Hall of Fame career, to be able to come back to Prescott was very gratifying.”
Prescott changed while Trujillo was riding the rodeo circuit. One of the major changes was the expansion of YRMC, which Trujillo visited frequently during his days competing in the rodeo.
“Here in Prescott, we have all of the specialists and we don’t have to go to Phoenix,” he said. “It’s great to know we have this quality of hospital and quality of medical care.”
Trujillo believes in celebrating community milestones. In fact, the World’s Oldest Rodeo turned 130 in 2017
“Prescott has an impressive 150-year history.” And a bright future, thanks to residents like Trujillo.
The Vein Center at Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC) is the first provider in northern Arizona to offer VenaSeal™ ablation therapy to treat varicose veins, spider veins and other symptoms of the vein disease, chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
“Patients are very happy with VenaSeal ablation therapy,” said Anil Kumar, MD, FAAC, RPVI, Medical Director of the Vein Center at YRMC in Prescott Valley. “This new therapy does not require multiple injections to numb their legs, which can be painful or uncomfortable for people. Also, after VenaSeal ablation therapy, most people do not need to wear compression stockings.”
CVI occurs when the valves in the veins of the lower leg no longer function properly. This makes blood flow backward, which leads to enlarged or varicose veins as well as other painful symptoms.
“Chronic venous insufficiency can result in lifestyle-limiting lower leg pain, swelling, skin damage and ulcerations,” said Dr. Kumar. “It’s a serious condition that affects many people in our community.”
During VenaSeal ablation therapy, Dr. Kumar places a small amount of VenaSeal™ – a medical adhesive – into the vein through a narrow catheter. Once VenaSeal™ closes the vein, blood is immediately re-routed through other healthy veins in the leg.
“The procedure takes approximately one hour from the time the patient arrives at the Vein Center,” Dr. Kumar said. “Immediately following VenaSeal ablation therapy, the patient is ready to resume normal activities.”
Depending on the extent of the CVI, the patient may need to undergo VenaSeal ablation therapy a number of times.
“The good news is that VenaSeal ablation therapy works,” said Dr. Kumar, “and the patient is comfortable during and following the procedure.”
For more information about VenaSeal ablation therapy, talk to your healthcare provider or contact the Vein Center at YRMC at (928) 759-5890. The Vein Center at YRMC is located in the YRMC Del E. Webb Outpatient Building at 3262 N. Windsong Drive in Prescott Valley.
