Argyle and LenderLogix partner to embed automated income, employment, and asset verification at the start of the loan process

New integration gives mortgage lenders access to high-quality VOIE and VOA data within LenderLogix's LiteSpeed POS

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y., Aug. 5, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Argyle, a service provider automating income, employment and asset verifications for some of the largest lenders in the United States, today announced its integration with LenderLogix, a leading provider of mortgage point-of-sale (POS) and automation software for banks, credit unions, independent mortgage banks and brokers.

Through the integration, mutual customers of Argyle and LenderLogix can embed verification directly into LiteSpeed, LenderLogix’s modern point-of-sale platform. The result is a more automated, seamless experience for borrowers and more complete, accurate data for lenders from the very start of the application process.

Key integration benefits:

  • Embedded verification at the point of sale:
    Lenders can now request and receive income, employment, and asset verification within the borrower-facing LiteSpeed application experience with no emails, portals or manual uploads required.
  • Higher-quality loan files from day one:
    With real-time payroll and bank data connections, lenders gain access to structured income and transaction data, pay stubs, and W-2s with full consumer permission, reducing manual document collection and accelerating loan file completeness.
  • Automated data flow across systems:
    Verified data can be easily passed from LiteSpeed into downstream loan origination systems (LOS) and automated underwriting systems (AUS), supporting more confident credit decisions.
  • Improved borrower experience:
    Reducing friction and manual touchpoints means a faster, simpler loan experience for borrowers and fewer back-and-forth requests for paperwork.

“Embedding Argyle’s verification technology into LiteSpeed is a natural next step in helping lenders modernize their workflows,” said Patrick O’Brien, co-Founder and CEO of LenderLogix. “We want to give our customers the flexibility to choose the partners that fit their strategy, and Argyle offers a powerful combination of automation, data accuracy and borrower experience that aligns well with our vision.”

“Our integration with LenderLogix is about giving lenders a better way to verify income, employment, and assets that’s embedded, automated and available from the first borrower interaction,” said John Hardesty, vice president of Argyle’s mortgage division. “By combining LiteSpeed’s intuitive borrower experience with Argyle’s real-time data, we’re making it easier for lenders to build complete loan files faster and with greater confidence.”

“With Argyle embedded in LenderLogix’s LiteSpeed, we are able to verify income and employment instantly—right at the start of the application,” said Wayne King, EVP Corporate Relations of Encompass Lending Group. “It reduces our manual collection needs and improves borrower satisfaction. This kind of automation is exactly what we need to stay competitive and aligns perfectly with our concierge customer service mission.”

Arcasa introduces nationwide Energy-Smart DPA Program to Down Payment Resource platform

Program combines down payment assistance, regardless of income, with solar upgrades and a market-rate first mortgage all in one loan

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah and ATLANTA, Ga., July 8, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Arcasa, a provider of solar-integrated mortgage solutions, and Down Payment Resource, the housing industry’s leading technology for connecting homebuyers with homebuyer assistance programs, today announced that Arcasa’s Energy-Smart DPA program is now listed nationwide in Down Payment Resource’s DPA Directory. Energy-Smart DPA combines a market-rate home loan with energy-efficient upgrades, giving homebuyers a single, streamlined path to both homeownership and long-term utility savings.

Arcasa introduces nationwide Energy-Smart DPA Program to Down Payment Resource platform
Image caption: Arcasa introduces nationwide Energy-Smart DPA Program to Down Payment Resource platform.

Available for use with Federal Housing Administration (FHA) financing, Arcasa’s Energy-Smart DPA program is designed to help homebuyers access energy-efficient home improvements while eliminating one of the most common barriers associated with purchasing a home: saving for a down payment. The nationwide program, which can be white-labeled to suit a lender’s unique branding, offers homebuyers a market-rate first mortgage paired with either a forgivable second mortgage or a DPA grant. It has no geographic or area median income (AMI) caps and offers significantly lower fees than many DPA programs and traditional solar financing options.

“For years, the challenge has been finding a way to integrate energy-efficient upgrades into home financing in a way that works for both homebuyers and lenders,” said Cole Bestgen, CEO of Arcasa. “Arcasa’s deep expertise in both the solar and mortgage industries has allowed us to design a practical solution that lenders can deliver at scale while providing meaningful upfront and life-of-loan savings to borrowers.”

“The combination of broad program eligibility and attractive financial incentives makes Arcasa’s Energy-Smart DPA program a compelling option for today’s homebuyers, who are actively seeking creative ways to make homeownership more affordable,” said Rob Chrane, founder and CEO of Down Payment Resource. “It’s also a smart way for lenders to unlock more transactions in a market where every transaction counts.”

Solar installation, a required component of the financing package, takes place after closing and does not delay the loan process. Arcasa works with local installers to coordinate the upgrades, helping buyers avoid the high sales commissions and additional financing costs often associated with post-purchase solar projects.

By incorporating solar incentives at the time of purchase, Arcasa’s Energy-Smart DPA program allows borrowers to reduce upfront origination costs and potentially lower their monthly mortgage payments. Buyers may also be eligible for a 30% federal tax credit, subject to qualification, and monthly utility bill savings after installation is complete. According to Zillow, homes with solar sell for an average of 4.1% more than comparable non-solar homes, underscoring the potential long-term value for homeowners.

Full details on Arcasa’s Energy-Smart DPA program are available to Down Payment Resource enterprise customers through the DPA Directory. Down Payment Resource streamlines management of homebuyer assistance programs by making a lender’s DPA offerings available to underwriters, mortgage loan officers and consumers through role-based portals and direct loan origination system integration.

Lenders can also request more information directly from Arcasa at https://www.arcasa.io/loanofficers.

About Arcasa:

Arcasa is transforming homeownership by integrating solar upgrades directly into the mortgage process. The company’s innovative approach helps homebuyers qualify for better mortgages, lower their energy costs and unlock long-term financial benefits without upfront expenses. By simplifying solar for loan officers, homebuyers and builders, Arcasa makes affordable homeownership attainable and creates homes with lasting value.

Frank Residences Partners with the Alzheimer’s Association

July 10 Workshop Offers Tools, Connection Strategies, and Research Insights for Families Navigating Caring for Someone with Dementia

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 1, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Frank Residences, a non-profit senior living community known for its integrated memory care, is partnering with the Alzheimer’s Association to host a “Care for the Caregiver” Workshop on Thursday, July 10, from 4 to 5 p.m. at One Avalon Avenue, San Francisco.

Frank Residences, part of the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living
Image caption: Frank Residences, part of the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living.

The free event is designed to support family caregivers who are navigating the emotional and practical complexities of dementia. Attendees will gain effective tools for managing stress, hear about memory care options available at Frank Residences, and learn about the latest advancements in dementia research.

“This partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association reflects our shared mission to support both those living with dementia and the families who love them,” said Rob Sarison, executive director at Frank Residences. “No one should feel alone on this journey.”

Amy LaGrant, sales director and gerontologist at Frank Residences, will open the workshop with her TED Talk and share personal insights on maintaining connections through cognitive decline. Drawing from her own experience, including the story of creating a pretend business with her father as a way to foster purpose and engagement, LaGrant will illustrate how empathy and creativity can transform the caregiving journey.

Workshop Highlights:

  • Opening remarks by Amy LaGrant, sales director and gerontologist with Frank Residences
  • Emotional resilience tools and stress-reduction strategies for caregivers
  • Updates on Alzheimer’s research and care innovations
  • Overview of the integrated memory care model and newly expanded capacity

Memory Care That Feels Like Family

Frank Residences’ hallmark approach is integrated, inclusive, and relationship-centered. Memory care residents are not separated from the broader community; they participate in campus-wide activities and live in beautifully designed residences that feel like home.

This model is especially meaningful for couples navigating different levels of care. Frank Residences offers families a rare opportunity to remain under one roof—sometimes just across the hall from one another—without sacrificing elegance, dignity, or connection.

“This allows for spouses to commingle and be close by; in most other communities, they are in separate buildings, and it can be hard to be there every day,” added Sarison. “That kind of closeness brings peace of mind that’s hard to find elsewhere.”

EVENT DETAILS
Care for the Caregiver Workshop
Date:
Thursday, July 10, 2025
Time: 4-5 p.m.
Location: Frank Residences, One Avalon Ave., San Francisco

Maglite, Pedestrian Safety Institute, and Additional Partners Promote Traffic and Pedestrian Safety During National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month

Pedestrian Deaths Continue to Increase Unabated Year After Year - 2024 on pace to set new record (GHSA)

ONTARIO, Calif., July 1, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Maglite® brand partners with the Pedestrian Safety Institute (PSI) to support traffic and pedestrian safety during one of the deadliest times of the year, the first week in July. The days surrounding July 4th are perilous and are routinely referred to as the deadliest driving days of the year, and pedestrian deaths make up approximately 20% of those fatalities.

Maglite and Partners to Promote Traffic and Pedestrian Safety During National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month
Image caption: Maglite and Partners to Promote Traffic and Pedestrian Safety During National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month.

Drivers struck and killed 3,304 people walking in the United States in the first half of 2024, down 2.6% from the year before but up a staggering 48% from 2014. The 3,304 people killed in the first half of 2024, as reported by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), would make it one of the deadliest years for pedestrians since they started keeping and reporting these statistics as usual darkness played a significant role with 82% of all fatalities in the first half of 2024 happening in the hours of dusk, darkness or dawn.

National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month

The alarming increase in the number of pedestrians killed in October, November, and December continues. These are the months when it gets darker earlier and stays dark longer. The Pedestrian Safety Institute recommends that people do everything they can to be seen at night, especially by carrying a flashlight.

In addition to the Pedestrian Safety Institute, Maglite is proud to have the American Paramedic Association, Citizens Behind the Badge, the U.S. Deputy Sheriffs Association, the lead economist of the Drucker School, Jay Prag (who did a seminal white paper on the costs of pedestrian deaths to the U.S. economy) and America’s Criminologist Dr. Currie Myers joining in this mission to illuminate the dangers facing pedestrians and solutions.

National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month was created by the Pedestrian Safety Institute to educate and urge drivers to use caution during this time of year.

“There are simple ways to reduce the number of pedestrian deaths due to pedestrian traffic accidents – pedestrians should carry a bright flashlight, wear reflective clothing, and be cautious, especially around fast-moving traffic,” said Tony Maglica, founder and CEO of Mag Instrument, Inc., manufacturer of the Maglite® Flashlight.

About Mag Instrument:

Mag Instrument, manufacturer of the MAGLITE® flashlight, is a proud U.S.A. manufacturer. Each flashlight is a result of an obsession with fine engineering, craftsmanship and a commitment to perfection. Founder, owner, and President Anthony Maglica has guided his company’s growth from a one-man machine shop in 1955 to an enterprise that has proudly employed thousands of American workers since it produced its first flashlight in 1979.

Haier TV and Total Sonics Announce Addition of Award-Winning Total Cal Auto Calibration Technology to Next Generation of Haier TVs

Total Cal gives AV manufacturers a cost-efficient and easy-to-use system to improve the sound quality of their products in challenging acoustic environments

MILFORD, Mass., June 11, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Total Sonics® (a division of THAT Corporation®) is very pleased to announce they’ve come to agreement with global CE powerhouse Haier Multimedia on licensing Total Cal®, their innovative automatic room calibration system.

Haier TV and Total Sonics Announce Addition of Award-Winning Total Cal Auto Calibration Technology to Next Generation of Haier TVs
Image caption: Haier TV and Total Sonics Announce Addition of Award-Winning Total Cal Auto Calibration Technology to Next Generation of Haier TVs.

Total Cal’s groundbreaking approach both simplifies the room calibration process for consumers and keeps costs down for manufacturers. Using the homeowner’s smart phone or tablet, or a calibrated USB microphone, this advanced technology easily guides the user through measurements of a products’ audio performance in the room. Then in mere seconds, this room-response data is compared to the original frequency response of the product, used to generate a customized correction curve, and programmed into the product. The resultant sound quality is greatly improved: better clarity, tonal balance, and bass response.

According to Total Sonics’ Vice President, Timothy Brault, “We are thrilled Haier’s team of outstanding product development experts have seen fit to add Total Cal as a key feature in their product line.”

Total Cal is just one part of the Total Technology suite of smart audio processing and calibration technologies, which also includes Total Sonics speaker optimization, Total Volume® automated loudness control, Total Surround® sound field expansion, Total Bass™ psychoacoustic bass processing, and the Total Immersion™ height virtualization technology we’ve developed in conjunction with Psy(x) Research. Innovations like Total Cal are a direct reflection of THAT Corporation’s legacy of improving audio performance, going back over 40 years to THAT’s predecessor, dbx® inc. With Total Cal, better sound in the home can now be accomplished at more affordable price points.

For further information on Haier TVs and sound products or any of the Total Sonics suite of applications, please contact Richard Frank of Frank Marketing: C – 949-637-0700, e – rfrank.fma@gmail.com

Yiftee Enables Contactless ‘Tap & Go’ Payments, Teaming Up with Mastercard and Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens Bank

Collaboration Brings Added Convenience and Security when Redeeming Community Cards at Local Businesses

MENLO PARK, Calif., June 3, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) –– Yiftee, a leading provider of Community Cards that “Keep Local Dollars Local,” announced the launch of contactless Tap & Go capabilities for their virtual Community Cards that support over 700 communities and over 20,000 local businesses. Developed with Mastercard and Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens Bank, this latest innovation is expected to help drive spending to local shops and restaurants across the country, fueling the “shop local” movement.

Tap and Go payments are now available for Yiftee Community Cards and eGift Cards at over 20,000 local shops and restaurants
Image caption: Tap & Go payments are now available for Yiftee Community Cards and eGift Cards at over 20,000 local shops and restaurants, for added convenience and security.

Contactless payments today account for more than two in every three in-person transactions globally on Mastercard’s network as shoppers and merchants continue to prioritize faster, safer and simpler payments experiences. Now, Community Card (CommCard) recipients can enjoy this added convenience, increasing the cards’ already widespread applications. For example, employers buy them for employee recognition programs, non-profits use them for volunteer appreciation, and local governments distribute funds for programs such as “shop local” campaigns, disaster recovery, mitigating construction disruption, and tourism. The funds remain in the community, benefiting its local businesses in addition to card recipients.

Local businesses can join a Yiftee Community Card program in their area at no cost and with no special equipment required, which helps them access new digital payments opportunities to support their growth. Built on Mastercard In Control for Mobile Payments, which helps enhance commercial card programs leveraging tokenization, Yiftee’s CommCard program will benefit users by providing secure and convenient digital cards that can be used anywhere Tap & Go contactless payments are accepted. Additionally, this helps local businesses increase acceptance and stay top of mind for customers whenever they open their digital wallet. For innovative FinTech solution providers like Yiftee, Mastercard’s In Control for Mobile Payments enables the seamless integration of virtual card numbers into digital wallets. These virtual card numbers come with robust built-in security features, ensuring that transactions are secure and protected against fraud.

“Mastercard is thrilled to team up with Yiftee to bring the power of contactless payments to their Community Cards and neighborhoods across the country,” said Mary Beth Livengood, Executive Vice President, Corporate Solutions, North America, Mastercard. “By combining our Tap & Go capabilities and In Control for Mobile Payments technology with Yiftee’s solution, we’re delivering a secure, convenient digital card experience—one that supports local businesses and helps fuel vibrant, thriving communities.”

“Since launching CommCards in 2018, they have taken off as an efficient way to share the fun experience of unique local businesses in an area while giving back to the community,” said Donna Novitsky, Yiftee CEO, “With contactless technology, we expect our customers to find even more creative uses for CommCards given the added convenience and security at checkout.”

“Silicon Valley Bank is proud to support Yiftee with its Tap & Go rollout,” said Jon Oakes, Managing Director of Commercial Cards. “Yiftee’s work in helping local merchants access new technologies and revenue streams is key to building resilient and thriving communities.”

Communities across the country use their CommCards to attract visitors and keep their spending local. In Utah, for example, Park City has launched their Mountainkind CommCard as a booking incentive for hotels, events, and experiences, guiding their visitors through local attractions. The Mountainkind CommCard has driven more than $50,000 in spending into local businesses in its first six months.

The Tap & Go collaboration is helping reshape local commerce—simplifying transactions, boosting economic development, and driving foot-traffic to local businesses in neighborhoods, towns and cities across the country.

About Yiftee:

Yiftee is the leading provider of Community Cards (CommCards), empowering local economies by driving revenue and foot traffic to local businesses. Operating in over 700 U.S. cities and serving 20K local merchants, Yiftee’s digital cards keep millions of dollars circulating locally each year.

About Florida Coaches Coalition:

The Florida Coaches Coalition (FCC) was founded in December 2021 by Dr. Andrew Ramjit, then County Athletic Director of Brevard Public School to advocate for improved compensation and working conditions for high school coaches across the state. The coalition was founded in response to concerns over outdated supplemental pay systems, which have not kept pace with inflation and the rising cost of living. Beyond pay, there was a need in Florida to unify coaches across all sports and levels (high school, middle school, and youth).

The coalition began as a grassroots movement under the hashtag #PayFLCoaches, gaining rapid traction through social media. Dr. Ramjit’s initial tweet highlighting the issue went viral, amassing over 500,000 impressions and drawing national media attention. Since its inception, the FCC has grown into Florida’s largest coaching organization, boasting over 15,000 members representing more than 1,200 teams statewide. The FCC’s mission is to “fight for the rights of every Florida coach,” focusing on areas such as fair compensation, improved working conditions, and access to professional development resources.

Florida Coaches Coalition is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. https://www.floridacoaches.com/

Envoy Mortgage expands down payment assistance reach with Down Payment Resource partnership after successful pilot

Pilot results spark full rollout of Down Payment Resource tools to boost efficiency and expand access

ATLANTA, Ga., April 30, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Down Payment Resource (DPR), the housing industry’s leading provider of technology that connects homebuyers with homebuyer assistance programs, today announced that Envoy Mortgage (Envoy) will implement DPR’s suite of software tools across its national footprint. The move follows a successful pilot and reflects Envoy’s commitment to expanding down payment assistance (DPA) offerings while maintaining operational efficiency and reducing repurchase risk.

Founded in 1997 as First Houston Mortgage, Envoy has helped more than 200,000 homebuyers across nearly 49 states. With a 98% customer satisfaction score, the Houston-based mortgage company has long prioritized both service and innovation. As its lending operations continue to scale nationwide, Envoy recognized the need for a more robust, data-driven approach to managing DPA programs.

“Partnering with DPR allows us to accelerate our goal of making affordable homeownership accessible to more people without needing to add headcount,” said Katrina Cummins, senior vice president of strategic initiatives at Envoy. “Its platform helps us streamline DPA management, while giving our teams the tools they need to better serve borrowers at every income level.”

During the pilot, Envoy documented significant time savings and process efficiencies, eliminating the need for an additional full-time hire, saving an estimated $70,000 to $80,000 annually. Beyond cost savings, the integration supports more informed lending decisions and a lower loan-to-value ratio for qualifying borrowers and is key to increasing access for low-to-moderate-income buyers.

“Down payment assistance can make a critical difference for homebuyers, especially those just starting their wealth-building journey,” said Jesse Passafiume, president of Envoy. “DPR’s platform has been a game-changer, reducing risk and enabling our team to offer these programs with greater confidence.”

Envoy is currently rolling out DPR’s technology across its branches. Phase 1 includes training for loan officers and underwriters, while Phase 2 will focus on integrating DPR directly into Envoy’s Encompass® loan production system. Phase 3 will explore API integration to capture qualified DPA leads in real time.

“Envoy is known for its people-first approach and high-touch service,” said Rob Chrane, founder and CEO of DPR. “With this partnership, it’s expanding what’s possible for buyers across the country. We’re proud to support Envoy’s efforts to make DPA more accessible, efficient, and impactful.”

Redox Therapeutics Signs Exclusive License Agreement with The Curators of the University of Missouri to Create Filtration Technology to Address Healthcare and Environmental Needs

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Redox Therapeutics announces the signing of an exclusive license agreement with The Curators of the University of Missouri acting by and through the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) for a patented polymer nanoparticles technology designed for endotoxin removal from fluids such as water, protein solutions and plasma. Currently, it’s seeking partners in the healthcare and wastewater industries to bring this technology to the forefront of effective and affordable treatment for sepsis.

Image caption: Redox Therapeutics logo.

Sepsis is a leading cause of death. The World Health Organization reports that endotoxin is the main contributing factor in sepsis and septic shock, complex syndromes of multiorgan failure resulting in the annual death of more than 11 million people. And the Association of American Medical Colleges says that sepsis is the third leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals.

An abstract in the National Library of Medicine reports that despite all efforts of experimental and clinical research during the last three decades, the ability to positively influence course and outcome of the syndrome remains limited.

Redox Therapeutics is looking to close the therapeutic gap by developing a blood filtration system that features the licensed polymer nanoparticles, which proved to remove up to 100 percent endotoxin from water and protein solutions in experiments conducted at Missouri S&T and published in peer-reviewed industry journals.

It also seeks to address another area of global health concern – the presence of endotoxin in contaminated industrial and wastewater systems. The presence of endotoxin in food, water and manufactured biomedical drugs is a major concern for human health and safety.

Redox Therapeutics seeks to partner with water filtration industry leaders and implement the endotoxin removal technology in their product lines, so that it contributes to lowering the incidence of sepsis.

Leonard Neatu, MD, founder, president and CEO of Redox Therapeutics, says he’s excited to have the opportunity to license and bring to market this outstanding nanoparticle technology. He has more than 25 years of entrepreneurial experience in the healthcare industry and as an independent scientist is part of a collective effort to precipitate a major shift in understanding as it regards the human disease occurrence and healing process.

He adds that this technology is not only extremely effective in removing endotoxin, but it’s also cost-effective.

“We’re confident that this technology will help to save lives, many of them, and I’m grateful for having the opportunity to contribute to this prospect,” he says.

Kamal H. Khayat, Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation at Missouri S&T, looks forward to a long and successful relationship with Redox Therapeutics (Redox).

“S&T is thrilled to license this nanoparticle filtration technology to Redox so that its benefits can be used to help society,” he says.

NEPTUNE, N.J., April 16, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Cartus, a relocation service company offering cutting-edge mobility and real estate solutions, technology, and industry expertise, has partnered with Move For Hunger, a national nonprofit dedicated to reducing food waste and fighting hunger nationwide.

Move For Hunger
Image caption: Move For Hunger.

This collaboration aims to rescue and provide 100,000 additional meals to food insecure communities across the country. Hunger exists in every single county in the U.S., and with current cuts to nutrition programs, delivering meals is more critical than ever. Together, Cartus and Move For Hunger are committed to fighting against hunger and making a difference one move at a time.

“Our team at Cartus are incredibly excited to be partnering with Move For Hunger in 2025!  As huge admirers of the work they do to combat food insecurity, we’re delighted to play a part in supporting their work providing meals to families across North America.” – Andrew Conduit-Turner, Director: Sustainability & Strategic Development

Food insecurity continues to be a pressing issue, with millions of Americans struggling to access reliable, nutritious food. Meanwhile, 38% of food in the U.S. goes to waste each year. Partnerships like this ensure we can continue to do the work and bring surplus food to those who need it most.

“As a part of our wider ESG priorities, we’re especially thrilled to be enabling the option for the hundreds of clients and thousands of families we move in the region, to support via the direct donation of excess non-perishable foods. Not only providing meals to families for whom it will make a huge difference, but in doing so, also helping families to ship mindfully, reducing waste, and lowering the impact of shipments by reducing unnecessary volume – All in all, helping us support people with moving better!” said Andrew Conduit-Turner, Director: Sustainability & Strategic Development.

Since its founding in 2009, Move For Hunger has rescued more than 58 million pounds of food, providing over 48 million meals to food banks and pantries across the United States and Canada.

“We are elated to have Cartus as part of the Move For Hunger network,” said Adam Lowy, Founder and Executive Director at Move For Hunger. “With food banks experiencing an increased demand and 47 million Americans facing food insecurity, it’s essential to do what we can to reduce food waste and fight hunger. With our new partner Cartus, we can make even more of a difference!”

Simpson Communities Partner with Amba Technology to Enhance Resident Independence and Well-Being

WEST GROVE, Pa., March 12, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Simpson, a Pennsylvania regional retirement system that includes Simpson House, Simpson Meadows, and Jenner’s Pond, announces a groundbreaking partnership with Amba to provide transformative health monitoring solutions that empower its residents and equip caregivers with the tools they need to deliver exceptional care. This collaboration reflects Simpson’s ongoing commitment to fostering independence and ensuring the well-being of those in its care.

During the Amba pilot, Simpson saw care quality improvements
Image caption: During the Amba pilot, Simpson saw care quality improvements, including a reduction in falls, re-hospitalization rates, and psychotropic drug use.

Amba’s innovative approach combines state-of-the-art passive sensors with a focus on privacy and dignity. The system empowers residents by unobtrusively tracking key health indicators such as sleep quality, heart rate, and activity levels. Amba’s real-time alerts and responsive care also give families confidence that their loved ones are well-monitored and supported.

“Simpson builds communities and services for older adults to thrive, and that means continuously seeking new ways to support their independence and well-being,” said Carol McKinley, President and CEO of Simpson. “Our partnership with Amba is a reflection of that commitment-leveraging innovative technology to provide an extra layer of care while respecting the dignity and privacy of our residents.”

The Amba system operates 24/7 and provides real-time data that enables Simpson’s care teams to identify early signs of potential health issues, such as sleep apnea or infections—before they escalate. Clinically trained professionals regularly monitor information to determine if patterns like sleep cycles, bathroom visits, nighttime heart and breath rates, and/or activity levels are irregular. They use Amba’s monitoring to help spot any signs that residents might need extra support.

During the pilot, hospitalization rates for residents in Ruston, Jenner’s Pond assisted living community, dropped to 0% in July, thanks to better monitoring and early intervention. In addition, Amba allowed for an 81% reduction of psychotropic prescriptions, with residents receiving more personalized, non-pharmacological interventions.

“At Simpson, we are always looking for ways to ensure our residents’ well-being, independence, and peace of mind,” said Brandon Logsdon, Executive Director of Jenner’s Pond, which is the first site for Amba’s implementation. “We are integrating Amba into our communities to help our residents stay safe and healthy—without changing anything about their daily schedules. This discreet health safety net supports our residents’ health while respecting their privacy and improving care quality.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with Simpson communities to bring peace of mind to their residents and families,” said Stu Hamilton, CEO and Founder of Amba. “Our technology is designed to empower individuals to live independently while receiving the proactive care they deserve.”

Simpson is dedicated to creating vibrant, supportive environments where residents can thrive. By incorporating cutting-edge solutions like Amba, Simpson continues to set the standard for senior living innovation. Care teams appreciate the extra support Amba provides.

“With Amba in place, we’re able to deliver more personalized care to our residents,” said David January, MSN, RN, GERO-BC, Regional Director of Clinical Services at Simpson. “We’ve reduced falls by 67% through improved prevention and response, strengthened infection monitoring, and significantly lowered rehospitalizations.”

While it is currently being utilized at Jenner’s Pond, Amba will be rolled out in the next few months at the other Simpson communities, Simpson House and Simpson Meadows.

“I especially like the sleep pattern monitoring. It helps us detect changes in patterns, which could be an indicator of a greater issue,” Georgine Tracy, Nursing Home Administrator at the Preston Residence at Jenner’s Pond, which provides skilled nursing care.

About Simpson:

Since 1865, Simpson has built communities and provided services for older adults to thrive. Simpson has met the changing needs and desires of Philadelphia area seniors from diverse backgrounds as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit family of services consisting of three Life Plan Communities (also known as Continuing Care Retirement Communities, or CCRCs): Simpson House, Simpson Meadows, and Jenner’s Pond; three affordable senior living communities: Simpson Gardens I, Simpson Gardens II, and Simpson Midtown, as well as Simpson HomeCare and Simpson Rehabilitation.

Glancy Wine Education Foundation Expands to Become National Scholarship Organization

New partnerships with International Wine Center, American Wine School, and Association of African American Vintners broaden wine education opportunities across the US

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 10, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Glancy Wine Education Foundation (GWEF) is proud to announce its expansion to become a national scholarship organization through strategic partnerships with the International Wine Center in New York, the American Wine School in the Midwest, and the Association of African American Vintners (AAAV). Combined with the foundation’s existing partnership with the San Francisco Wine School, these collaborations significantly extend GWEF’s geographic reach, enabling more aspiring wine professionals across the United States access to high-quality wine education.

The Foundation’s new alliance with the International Wine Center brings GWEF scholarship opportunities to New York, while the partnership with American Wine School extends access to virtual and in-person classes across multiple Midwestern cities including Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. Additionally, following the January 2025 launch of GWEF’s collaboration with the Association of African American Vintners, AAAV members now have enhanced access to professional wine education through GWEF scholarships.

“These partnerships mark a significant milestone in our mission to make wine education more accessible to underserved communities nationwide,” said Ana Keller, President of the Glancy Wine Education Foundation. “By expanding our reach from coast to coast, we can now help a much broader range of students develop their careers through professional wine certifications.”

The expansion builds on GWEF’s strong foundation of educational support. Since its establishment in 2020, inspired by the vision of San Francisco Wine School co-owners, Master Sommelier David Glancy and COO, Kristin Campbell, the Foundation has focused on providing scholarships to underserved and minority communities to further their professional wine education, increase diversity in the industry, and raise earning potential.

Glancy notes, “The pandemic magnified areas where the wine industry needed to develop opportunities for educational support. Many communities in our industry were lacking access to the educational programs needed to advance their careers, and the Foundation was conceived to address that issue. It’s exciting to see that original vision expanded to operate on a national scale.”

“The wine industry benefits tremendously from diverse perspectives and backgrounds,” said Alder Yarrow, Vice President of GWEF. “These new partnerships mean we can now support aspiring professionals from many more communities across America.”

Scholarship recipients will have access to prestigious wine education programs through GWEF’s educational partners, including Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) qualifications, Society of Wine Educators certifications, Wine Scholar Guild programs, as well as other proprietary courses and certifications.

Professionals in need of financial aid are encouraged to apply for scholarships year-round at GlancyWineEducationFoundation.org. Awards are made monthly.

About The Glancy Wine Education Foundation:

Established in 2020, The Glancy Wine Education Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, not-for-profit organization dedicated to assisting underserved and minority communities with scholarships to further their professional wine education in the hopes of increasing diversity, raising earning power, and growing the knowledge base of tomorrow’s wine professionals. The foundation earned a Platinum Transparency certification from Candid’s GuideStar Charity Ratings system and a four-star, 97% rating from Charity Navigator reflecting its commitment to transparency and efficient use of donor funds.

Jenner’s Pond and University of Delaware Partner to Empower Seniors Through Interactive Healthcare Theatre Program

WEST GROVE, Pa., Feb. 18, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Jenner’s Pond, a vibrant Simpson senior living community on an 88-acre campus in West Grove, has forged a unique and impactful partnership with the University of Delaware’s highly-regarded Healthcare Theatre Program to bring engaging and informative communications and healthcare education to its residents.

Jenner's Pond - A Simpson Community

Launched in July 2024, this collaboration delivers critical health insights to residents through interactive theatre performances on-site. Held in Jenner’s Pond’s state-of-the-art auditorium, the program tackles essential health topics important to seniors, such as considerations for moving to a continuing care community, how to more effectively find resources to age in place, caregiver burnout, and resources to prevent it, as well as hearing loss and its impact on cognition and socialization. The performances are designed to be participative and engaging for the attendees.

The University of Delaware’s Healthcare Theatre program has existed for 15 years and is the only one of its kind in the country. The collaboration with Jenner’s Pond is successful because of its highly interactive nature and the residents’ willingness to participate. One benefit of this program is that it fosters innovation beyond the auditorium.

Mark Bendett, a resident of Jenner’s Pond and an Entrepreneur in Residence at the University of Delaware, saw a Healthcare Theatre performance and recommended bringing it to the community. He is integral to coordinating the performance and topics at Jenner’s Pond. The program is highly interactive and employs a “freeze frame” style of performance, which allows the audience to actively participate in the production by sharing their viewpoints and suggestions for improvement by pausing the interaction at any moment in the performance.

“It’s a novel way of providing information to people in an entertaining and engaging manner,” Bendett said. “This initiative empowers residents by giving them tools and information on how to ask for help and find resources, especially for those in independent living who may hesitate to reach out.”

Brandon Logsdon, Acting Executive Director at Jenner’s Pond, highlighted the program’s value. “It feels like a game changer as we present medical information to the residents. A lot of times, our residents may be hesitant to ask for help and may regress as a result. This program helps us address those challenges early and provide actionable resources.”

Jenner’s Pond resident Ellie Paynter has attended the first two Healthcare Theatre events at Jenner’s Pond. These events occur quarterly and are complemented by a monthly University of Delaware speaker series. Paynter shared, “Getting older is a new experience, and the presentations are another aid in coping and learning what is available to ease the process.”

Allan Carlsen, Co-Founder and Director of Healthcare Theatre and Assistant Professor of Theatre at the University of Delaware, says, “Partnering with Jenner’s Pond allows us to bring healthcare education to life in a way that resonates with seniors.” He adds, “Our interactive approach not only supports residents but also helps us better train the next generation of healthcare professionals. We are proud to be one of the leading simulation programs in the country.”

According to the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, theatrical performance can be an effective educational tool for understanding medication experiences from the patient’s perspective. Additionally, presenting medical information in an entertaining and interactive format, as Healthcare Theatre does, can illuminate barriers in an engaging and non-threatening way that patients face and can, in turn, open up conversations and ultimately lead to better understanding.

This game-changing collaboration comes on the heels of Mayflower Transit’s renewed commitment, showcasing the collective might of UniGroup’s 168 agents. Together, United and Mayflower are helping Move For Hunger combat food waste and food insecurity in every corner of the country.

“We’re proud to continue our partnership with Move For Hunger and build on the incredible impact we’ve made together,” said Vice President Corporate Communications Eily Cummings. “Through the dedication of our agents and the power of our network, we’re committed to fighting food insecurity and delivering hope to communities in need.”

In 2024 alone, the UniGroup family helped rescue and redistribute an astounding 147,000 meals, thanks to the dedication of 52 Mayflower agents and 116 United agents. With a combined legacy of impact—1 million meals moved by United Van Lines and 838,000 meals delivered by Mayflower Transit — the partnership has soared to an incredible 1.8 million meals for those in need.

“This partnership proves the power of people, purpose, and logistics,” said Adam Lowy, founder and executive director at Move For Hunger. “United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit are turning trucks into tools for change, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their commitment to delivering hope — one box of food at a time.”

Beyond trucks and manpower, the UniGroup network has gone above and beyond, donating time, equipment, and funding to fight hunger. Their generosity fuels a movement that ensures families across the country have access to nutritious meals.

The celebration of this transformative partnership will take center stage at the 2025 UniGroup Learning Conference, where we’ll honor the collaboration that continues to redefine corporate social responsibility in the moving industry.
