CATCHING UP | ALUMNI PROFILES More Than Bears | Linda Wrigley ’89, M.D. When Linda Wrigley ’89 pulled into the driveway of her home on the outskirts of Anchorage and saw a severed moose leg, she had one thought: Where’s the grizzly? But just as dangerous as wild animals in Alaska is the sun—and the lack of it. Summer’s rays hit people all day and into the night while they hike and garden. Winter’s darkness has them overdoing it on tanning beds and on vacations to sunnier locations. In 2003 a pregnant Wrigley returned from the Bahamas with a sun-caused skin condition called melasma. “I didn’t see anyone treating that in Alaska then, and I wanted to help my patients, too,” said the Anchorage-based obstetrician and gynecologist. Two years later she opened Alaska Body Aesthetics. Its laser technology, medical-grade skin- care products, permanent hair-removal treatment, and weight-loss consulting are now part of her dedication to women’s total health care. “Being a doctor was always something I wanted to do,” Wrigley said.
