Edge Magazine

Then vs. now

When Edge Magazine first featured Faith Crooks in Going for Gold, she was already making an impression with her dedication, discipline, and drive.

Years later, in A Strong Faith, we revisit her story and see the incredible growth — not just in athletics, but in confidence, leadership, and character.

It’s always special to watch young athletes continue to evolve and pursue their goals with the same passion that first caught our attention.

Follow Faith’s journey from then to now.

For more than 40 years, Jolene Palmquist, RN, CRNO, has guided patients through some of life’s most personal decisions. As Surgical Manager at Kugler Vision, she’s been a trusted source of comfort and expertise for countless individuals.

When it came time to make a vision decision for herself, Palmquist chose Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) with guidance from Kugler Vision CEO Lance Kugler, MD—a procedure that corrects both near and distance vision while permanently eliminating the risk of cataracts.

Now, she’s sharing her perspective as both a provider and a patient. https://edgemagazine.com/kugler-visions-surgical-manager-reclaims-her-vision/

At Edge, we’re intentional about every story we share.

We don’t aim to feature everything, we focus on what’s meaningful, relevant, and worth our readers’ time. Because of that, the businesses within our pages become part of something bigger than just visibility.

They become part of a trusted, local narrative.

Our readers turn to Edge for thoughtful content and a curated perspective on the community around them. And over time, that consistency builds trust — not just in us, but in the brands we choose to feature.

That’s something we don’t take lightly.

Ava's Army began with a simple but powerful dream: to make a difference in the lives of other children.

At just four years old, Ava Reinert was diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and underwent 800 days of chemotherapy and treatment.

Now, her journey is inspiring a mission to create change, especially in a field where standard pediatric leukemia protocols haven’t advanced in 25 years.
