Dr. Arlene Rose, a medical professional and entrepreneur of over 25 years, has partnered with her tech-savvy son, Jason Johnson, to launch the Jamaica Center of Advanced Medicine (JCAM), the newest integrative medical center focused in functional medicine.
Dr. Rose’s journey to a holistic approach to medicine was not an easy one. It was born out of his personal struggle to find an effective treatment for a medical diagnosis he faced. When numerous visits to medical specialists and recommended treatments proved futile, she embarked on a personal quest to explore more holistic, root-cause-oriented treatments to find a long-term solution that would work. He discovered one, not through modern medicine, but through holistic practices preserved over the years and practiced across cultures. This experience has made her a passionate advocate for a holistic approach to medicine, and her life’s work is now dedicated to helping more people find effective treatment for their long-term illnesses.
Combined with her son’s passion for computing and her years of practicing functional medicine, Dr. Rose decided to officially launch her newest company, JCAM, to bring more attention to this growing approach to medicine. JCAM provides patients with the latest functional medical technology, healthy living guides and medical solutions to extend life and improve patients’ quality of life. JCAM was established as an evolution of the previous practice of Dr. Rose, Derma Kare, and includes an expansion of medical services and equipment.
A second-generation physician, Dr. Rose followed in the footsteps of her mother, a general practitioner, to whom she credits her desire to become a physician herself. In addition to earning his medical degrees from the University of the West Indies and his Masters from the University of Wales Faculty of Medicine in Dermatology, he also gained extensive training in anti-aging technology, aesthetic medicine and laser therapy in the United States and Europe. He then studied holistic nutrition. This training and knowledge helped form the foundations of JCAM.
“More people are looking for healthier approaches to traditional medicine with the guarantee of the highest quality of care and results. The first inclination is to try the traditional approach to medicine, and as such, we [JCAM] they are usually the last resort of our patients. Most of our patients have tried everything, seen numerous doctors, spent a lot of money, and experienced little or no relief from their medical conditions,” explained Dr. Rose.
Johnson, a web developer and digital marketer, led his mother’s digital transformation project to advance service delivery and patient care, one of the company’s value-added services. “Mother and I wanted to show the patients that they should not lose hope; there are solutions that go beyond traditional approaches. I have seen firsthand that this approach to health works, and I was delighted when Mom asked me to help her bring JCAM to every door in Jamaica digitally. It’s not just about treating people; it’s about improving their lives. The combination of technology with mother’s expertise was intended to provide more health education and treatment to those in need, a trend we hope to see grow in Jamaica and the Caribbean,” said Jason.
Health coaching, nutritional planning and individualized programs are standard offerings for each patient. The center’s medical services read like a list of ailments that many suffer to varying degrees; “Our approach is not only to treat the symptoms of a particular disease, but also to manage the root causes. The human body is so beautifully designed by God that He has also given us the natural resources to find solutions to our health problems. We are proud to provide patient-centered solutions that transform and improve the health of our patients through our compassionate approach, innovative solutions and world-class customer service to help them regain their confidence and vitality,” shared Rose.
Dr. Rose explained that this lifestyle-focused approach will lead to more positive long-term outcomes for patients. She said: “I wanted to provide services that didn’t just send people home with a bunch of pills to take, but instead I wanted them to think differently about healthcare and realize that how we live our lives is a big part of our overall mindset and physical well-being.
The treatments offered by Dr. Rose are not your grandmother’s home remedies, but are designed to be minimally invasive and provide maximum relief and support. Treatments include pain relief through biofeedback scanning and warm sculpting, which involves removing body fat using a combination of near-infrared light waves filtered through special liquids.
Dr. Rose’s love for family and God are her main motivators, and she loves making a difference in the lives of others. She is even more grateful to have collaborated with her son to impact the medical industry. The launch of JCAM is a showcase of professional collaboration and family ties coming together to provide superior patient care and community health education. Their story is an inspiration for generations to come, illustrating that at the intersection of love and experience lies the potential for transformative change.
