Skye Canyon resident Cheri Dangoy Niemiec has been a registered nurse for more than 20 years, primarily working in an oncology unit.
But last year, however, she and a couple partners branched out to open Revitalize Wellness, with a mission to uplift the health of the community through a combination of preventive strategies and compassionate care.
They opened in May of 2023 at 8440 W. Lake Mead Blvd.
Revitalize Wellness offers a number of services, but it is one of the few in the Las Vegas Valley that administers IV Ozone Therapy.
This cutting-edge therapy is known as Major Autohemotherapy (MAH). MAH is a safe and effective form of ozone therapy that harnesses the power of ozone gas (O3) to support a patient’s overall well-being.
“IV Ozone Therapy has been beneficial for many of our patients who have a variety of health issues, from Lyme Disease to different autoimmune issues/ chronic and acute illnesses,” Nurse Cheri said. “Patients also do IV Ozone Therapy to prevent sickness and boost their health and wellness.”
Nurse Cheri said she had recent patient who had been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that had metastasized to her bones. Although she was described as high spirited, Nurse Cheri said she felt as if she was left to die, especially after losing all her hair right after an especially strong chemo treatment.
“She lost hope and fell into deep depression,” said Nurse Cheri. “A friend from Hawaii told her to do Ozone Therapy and referred her to us, Revitalize Wellness.
“Since then, she continues to improve, both with her tumor markers/blood lab values and her strength/energy.”
The patient is currently on a cancer treatment plan, but adds IV Ozone Therapy along with it. Nurse Cheri said the patient believes that while the cancer treatments are killing the cancer, the IV Ozone Treatments are helping strengthen her immune system so she can heal quicker and fight the cancer more effectively.
“I have seen her thrive. You would never have known she is fighting cancer,” Nurse Cheri said.
Besides IV Ozone Therapy, Revitalize Wellness offers Semaglutide weight loss programs, custom IV drips, High Dose Vitamin C infusions, NAD+ infusions, acute care consults and massage therapy.
“I have been an RN for almost 20 years,” Nurse Cheri said. “I have had the privilege of taking care of so many patients and their families during this time. I have laughed and cried with my patients, especially during the last five years that I was an oncology RN. I realized that the most important thing that many patients need during their personal journey back to health is HOPE.
“I believe that our clinic offers an alternative way to harness that hope and get you back to what you most desire: health and wholeness, for both you and for those you love.”
Revitalize Wellness also provides mobile services for regular vitamin IV services.
Nurse Cheri’s partners in this venture are Kimberly Barnett and Falicia Stock.
Nurse Cheri moved to Skye Canyon in 2020 because of the unobstrusive views, the fresh air and the quietness compared to other areas of Las Vegas.
“I love that the desert is so easily accessible and so I hike with my dogs frequently,” she said. “I also like the convenience of all the shopping in the area and the small-town feel although Skye Canyon has grown tremendously!”
