Natural Transplants Named a Top Industry Leader in the 2026 Global Hair Transplant Market Report

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., and WASHINGTON, D.C., March 6, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Natural Transplants, a specialized hair restoration clinic with surgical facilities in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and Washington, D.C., has been officially recognized as a major player in the global market according to the newly released Hair Transplant Global Market Report 2026 by The Business Research Company. The clinic was highlighted alongside a select group of elite legacy brands in an industry experiencing unprecedented worldwide demand.

According to the comprehensive industry analysis, the global hair transplant market size reached $10.51 billion in 2025 and is projected to surge to $25.72 billion by 2030. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.6%. The report cites the rising prevalence of hair loss conditions and an increasing preference for advanced surgical procedures as the primary drivers for this massive market expansion.

The report categorized the market by product, therapy, and procedure while specifically tracking the growth of advanced surgical techniques. Natural Transplants has built its national reputation on specializing exclusively in these high-demand procedures. To accommodate the growing volume of patients traveling for advanced follicular extraction and transplantation, the company operates a state-of-the-art Fort Lauderdale hair transplant clinic as well as a dedicated Washington, D.C. hair restoration clinic.

“Being recognized in a global report like this is a great honor, but our focus remains exactly where it has always been: on the individual patient in our chair,” said Dr. Matthew Huebner, Chief Medical Director at Natural Transplants. “We built this practice on the principle of doing things right by maximizing tissue yield and focusing entirely on dense, permanent results. Seeing our name alongside the biggest corporate entities in the industry simply validates our patient-first approach.”

The Business Research Company report notes that androgenic alopecia, commonly known as pattern hair loss, currently impacts up to 85% of men and 40% of women by the age of 50. As awareness of permanent and surgical hair loss solutions grows, patients are increasingly bypassing general plastic surgery centers in favor of specialized clinics.

To meet this demand while maintaining strict quality control, the clinical team at Natural Transplants limits the number of daily surgeries. The team is led by board-certified surgeons Dr. Matthew Huebner, Dr. Harold Siegel, and Dr. Kevin Blumenthal. This strict scheduling ensures each doctor can dedicate their full attention to a single patient’s follicular extraction and implantation process from start to finish.

By maintaining this singular focus on hair transplants across its Florida and Maryland-area locations, Natural Transplants has positioned itself at the forefront of this rapidly expanding healthcare sector.

Natural Transplants Named #1 Among Top Hair Restoration Clinics in Florida by Miami Living Magazine

Fort Lauderdale-based clinic recognized for its undetectable results, executive-level discretion, and industry-leading hair restoration methods

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 24, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As the demand for highly discreet aesthetic procedures continues to rise among executives and high-profile individuals, Natural Transplants, Hair Restoration Clinic, has been officially ranked the number one facility by Miami Living Magazine in its latest feature, “Florida’s Top 6 Hair Restoration Clinics for Natural & Undetectable Results.”

This top placement firmly establishes Natural Transplants as the gold standard for patients seeking elite, invisible artistry. To stand out among the Top Hair Restoration Clinics in Florida, a practice must move beyond simply providing a higher graft count. It requires achieving a level of refinement where even a patient’s own barber cannot detect the surgical intervention, effectively eliminating the historical fear of obvious linear scars or “pluggy” results.

“The discerning patient isn’t just afraid of looking thin, they are deeply afraid of the telltale signs of a procedure,” said Dr. Matt Huebner, Chief Medical Director at Natural Transplants. “Being ranked number one by Miami Living Magazine validates our core philosophy. Whether a patient is best suited for our signature high-yield method or a highly precise Follicular Unit Extraction procedure, our goal remains the same, we don’t just restore a hairline; we engineer a completely natural look with wall-to-wall density. Absolute discretion and surgical excellence are our baselines.”

Miami Living highlighted the clinic’s proprietary HUE (High-Yield Unit Extraction) method as a major market differentiator. While many facilities spread grafts out sparsely to cover a larger area, Dr. Huebner and Dr. Harold Siegel utilize the HUE technique to move the maximum amount of hair in a single session. This ambitious approach bypasses the “thin” look entirely, cementing the facility’s reputation as the premier Top Hair Transplant Clinic in Florida.

Beyond surgical precision, the publication praised the clinic’s distinctive “Executive Lounge” atmosphere. Designed specifically for discerning professionals who value privacy and efficiency, Natural Transplants eschews the traditional sterile medical feel for an unpretentious, highly focused environment. It is a space built for individuals who want the job done flawlessly the first time so they can seamlessly return to their boardrooms and lives with renewed confidence.

This latest acknowledgment by Miami Living Magazine adds to a growing list of lifestyle and aesthetic accolades for the Fort Lauderdale-based clinic, which routinely attracts a global clientele seeking the highest caliber of stealth and success in hair restoration.

Read the full feature in Miami Living Magazine. For more information on the proprietary HUE method, advanced FUE options, or to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Huebner or Dr. Siegel, please visit naturaltransplants.com or call 844-327-4247.

Serving Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, Florida, Natural Transplants provides world-class hair restoration services to patients worldwide.

3rd3rd Marketing and AgingIN Tackle Senior Living’s Workforce Crisis

Complimentary Webinar Addresses Care Team Retention and Resilience

SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 17, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As senior living communities continue to navigate workforce challenges that directly impact care quality and operations, 3rd3rd Marketing and AgingIN are partnering to present a timely webinar: “Workforce That Stays: Creative Strategies to Attract, Inspire, & Retain a Mission-Driven Team” on Friday, February 27, geared toward senior living executives, HR professionals, and community leaders looking to build a sustainable workforce.

3rd3rd Marketing and AgingIN present a complimentary webinar on strengthening care team retention and resilience in senior living
Image caption: 3rd3rd Marketing and AgingIN present a complimentary webinar on strengthening care team retention and resilience in senior living.

This practical session is designed for senior living leaders who are ready to move beyond short-term staffing fixes and build a culture where people choose to stay and feel proud to do so.

With the industry at a crossroads as it prepares for more than 15 million more people to join the 75+ age group, it is confronting a widening gap between the number of older adults and the shrinking number of available caregivers. The caregiver-to-receiver ratio, once more than six to one, will soon fall to four to one. At the same time, new construction for care settings continues to decline.

“The senior living workforce crisis won’t be solved by quick fixes or louder job postings,” said Cynthia Thurlow, President and CEO of 3rd3rd Marketing. “It’s solved when people understand why their work matters and feel genuinely connected to the mission. The webinar will provide tools and insights for communities to tell their story in a way that attracts the right people and gives them a reason to stay.”

Drawing on real-world experience, experts from 3rd3rd Marketing, which helps senior living communities globally, and AgingIN, an advocacy group focused on the evolution of eldercare, will explore how thoughtful storytelling, purpose-driven communication, and intentional culture-building can transform recruitment and retention outcomes. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to attract candidates who align with their mission, reduce burnout across care teams, and strengthen engagement at every level of the organization.

“Retention is built in the everyday moments around how leaders communicate, how teams are supported, and whether people feel seen and safe at work,” said Zoie Garza, presenter and Project Coach at AgingIN. “When organizations invest in culture with the same intention they invest in operations, burnout decreases and commitment grows. This session gives leaders practical tools they can use immediately.”

ATTENDEES WILL LEARN HOW TO:

  • Use modern storytelling to position their community as a place people genuinely want to work
  • Attract purpose-driven candidates instead of filling roles with “warm bodies”
  • Clearly communicate their organizational WHY so employees feel connected and invested
  • Build pride, belonging, and shared identity across departments
  • Create a culture where team members feel safe, supported, and heard
  • Reduce burnout, stress, and conflict within care teams
  • Understand the true financial cost of turnover and how retention protects long-term budgets

Registration is now open for this complimentary webinar.

Elder Care Reforms, Advances and Call to Action: AgingIN’s Elevate Eldercare Podcast Tackles Long-Term Care Challenges

BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 11, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — AgingIN, a global leader in long-term care culture transformation, released a special episode of the Elevate Eldercare podcast today, featuring a candid conversation between AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan and Susie Singer Carter, creator of the documentary “No Country for Old People.” The episode explores the film’s unflinching look at aging services and calls for a multilayered movement grounded in accountability, public pressure, and cultural change.

The “Elevate Eldercare” podcast brings together thought leaders, activists, academics, and advocates in aging services.
Image caption: The Elevate Eldercare podcast brings together thought leaders, activists, academics, and advocates in aging services.

Ryan and Singer Carter discuss the systemic challenges the elder care industry faces, while Singer Carter shares her experiences caring for her mother. Ryan also shares her past experience as a director of nursing in nursing homes and her path to advocating for culture change in long-term care. Throughout the interview, Singer Carter calls for help in developing alternatives to institutionalization, emphasizing person-directed care.

“This is a conversation we need to be having right now,” said Ryan. “Institutional care models were never built for human living, and it shows. If we want better care, we have to create cultures that respect the workforce and honor the humanity of every person who lives there. A human-first ethos isn’t radical, it’s necessary. And it doesn’t require a massive leap. Every care environment can start somewhere.”

Through its global advocacy work, AgingIN supports person-directed living and empowered cultures in the community of one’s choice through consulting, education, research, and a global network.

“We need a movement. We need the public to rally for real change and push back against the industry lobby that has allowed this crisis in long-term care to continue. Families across this country deserve better, and we cannot let this go on,” Singer Carter says.

The Elevate Eldercare podcast airs new episodes every Wednesday, led by host Susan Ryan, who brings together thought leaders, activists, academics, and advocates in aging services, providing a space for thoughtful discourse and diverse perspectives. In February, additional guests include Stu Hamilton, CEO and Founder of Amba, which offers personalized senior care technology solutions; Kim Brawley, Regional Vice President at AgeWell Solvere Living, which manages senior living communities across the U.S.; Mary Naber, President and CEO of PACE Southeast Michigan, a healthcare provider and insurer helping elders live independently; and Dr. Kelly Tremblay, advisor to AgingIN announcing a new microcast called “Brain Bytes.”

By 50, Your Future Healthspan Trajectory Is Already Visible – And It’s Not in Your Diet or Lab Work

Professor Fulton's latest book, 'FUNCTION' is a hands‑on guide organizing 44 simple self‑assessments into a five‑part functional portfolio

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Jan. 28, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Professor Scott B. Fulton distills five decades of functional aging research into a new practical self‑assessment framework that helps midlife adults see, and improve, their true healthspan trajectory.

'FUNCTION: Turn Your Blind Spots into Strength' by Professor Scott B. Fulton
Image caption: “FUNCTION: Turn Your Blind Spots into Strength” by Professor Scott B. Fulton.

New functional aging research following more than 700,000 adults over five decades shows that by about age 50, a person’s healthspan trajectory is already clear—not in blood tests, but in how they move, how much they have in reserve, and how fast they react. Healthspan is less about strengths, but is dictated by five functional domains, and which one(s) unknowingly fades decades earlier—our blind spot.

For years, large longitudinal studies have measured walking and running speed, strength, balance, recovery after exertion, and basic cognitive tasks—but the data sat in separate silos of various medical subspecialties. This is the first known research to look at them collectively to understand how all these data might predict longevity for normal healthy middle-aged adults.

By about age 50, healthspan is already clear, with future capacity more reliably foreshadowed by everyday functional measures rather than traditional, disease-focused lab work.

The findings give people with a direct way to definitively answer two key questions: “Where am I now?” and “Am I headed where I want to go?” As an example, a change in just 4 inches per second walking speed results in about a ten-year impact on healthspan and mortality – easily achieved without adding anything new to your day. Add a brain challenge to a simple walk and the dual tasking stimulates neural plasticity that improves short and long-term cognition.

Thankfully, blind spots are typically low hanging fruit and easiest to improve. The result is precise, personal insights that place aging in a more appealing and manageable light.

The work is captured in Professor Scott B. Fulton’s latest book, “FUNCTION: Turn Your Blind Spots into Strength” (ISBN: 979-8990275928; paper), a hands‑on, accessible guide that organizes 44 simple self‑assessments into a five‑part functional portfolio for adults of all ages and abilities.

Fulton is a healthspan and aging researcher, adjunct professor at three universities, and author of “FUNCTION” and “WHEALTHSPAN,” working at the intersection of practical longevity science and real‑world independence.

FUNCTION: The 44‑Test Healthspan Portfolio is designed for adults in midlife and beyond who want a clear, evidence‑based view of where they stand today and where their health is headed. The book has been recognized as a Top New Release on Amazon in multiple categories.

Dr. Harold Siegel Named #1 Traction Alopecia Hair Transplant Doctor in the U.S. for 2026

'Surgeon to the Stars' and Natural Transplants Senior Physician Tops National Ranking for Expertise in Ethnic Hair Restoration and HUE Method Excellence

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 27, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dr. Harold Siegel, board-certified Senior Physician at Natural Transplants, Hair Restoration Clinic, has been named the number one surgeon on the prestigious list of Best Traction Alopecia Hair Transplant Doctors In The United States In 2026. This distinction recognizes Dr. Siegel as a premier authority in the industry, celebrating his mastery in delivering permanent solutions for complex hair loss conditions.

Dr Harold Siegel of Natural Transplants
Image caption: Image caption: Dr Harold Siegel of Natural Transplants.

Traction Alopecia, a form of hair loss caused by constant tension on the hair follicles from tight hairstyles, requires specialized care to ensure graft survival and natural aesthetics. As the demand for effective Traction Alopecia Hair Transplant procedures grows, Dr. Siegel has emerged as the industry standard-bearer, particularly for his skill with textured hair and edge restoration.

A TITAN IN HAIR RESTORATION

Dr. Siegel brings a distinguished medical background to his Natural Transplants, including over a decade dedicated exclusively to hair restoration and 20 years of medical experience. A graduate of Nova Southeastern University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Florida, Dr. Siegel’s journey into hair restoration began under the mentorship of Dr. Matt Huebner, leading him to master the exclusive HUE (High-Yield Unit Extraction®) Method. This elite technique allows Dr. Siegel to move maximum hair density in a single session, providing life-changing coverage for both men and women.

His reputation for surgical excellence and discretion has earned him the title “surgeon to the stars,” notably chosen by multi-platinum, Grammy award-winning producer Timbaland for his own restoration journey.

EMPATHY MEETS PRECISION

Unlike many in his field, Dr. Siegel’s approach is defined by deep personal empathy because he has undergone hair transplants himself. This shared experience drives his commitment to delivering natural results for a diverse clientele.

“Being recognized as the top doctor for Traction Alopecia Hair Transplants is a profound honor,” said Dr. Siegel. “I understand the emotional toll hair loss takes because I have been there. My goal is to combine artistic precision with the HUE Method to not just restore hairlines, but to restore confidence. Whether we are treating a celebrity or a mother looking to repair damage from years of braiding, the goal is always the same: undetected, high-density results.”

SETTING THE GOLD STANDARD FOR 2026

The 2026 ranking highlights Dr. Siegel’s success in treating Traction Alopecia, a condition where traditional transplant methods often fail without specific expertise in angling and graft placement. His ability to recreate natural growth patterns in the temple and frontal hairline areas has made Natural Transplants the destination for patients seeking to reverse the effects of mechanical hair loss.

World Fertility Awards Make History as Global Fertility is Projected to Drop in 2026

NEW YORK, N.Y., Jan 20, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The World Fertility Awards (WFAs), produced by pregnantish, the first global, consumer-facing media event dedicated to celebrating the changemakers shaping the future of fertility, took place on December 1, 2025 at the Times Center in New York City. Unlike traditional industry conferences, the event was designed to reach beyond clinical and professional audiences, uniting advocates, clinicians, innovators, industry leaders, and media to spotlight progress, purpose, and possibility in reproductive health.

At a critical inflection point in 2026, when global fertility rates are projected to continue declining (according to Euromonitor, the 2025 rate is at 2.8 children born per woman vs 3.1 a decade ago), the World Fertility Awards brought together seven global regions to elevate voices and leadership to underscore the importance of Assisted Reproductive Technology.

The show’s tagline, “When Science Meets Family, the Possibilities Are Endless,” captured the spirit of the evening: a global community united in recognition of the individuals and organizations advancing care, expanding access, and reshaping how infertility is covered and understood.

Here are the 2025 award recipients and honorees: https://www.worldfertilityawards.com/honorees.

Founded by pregnantish, the award-winning fertility platform, the WFAs were created to meet a long-standing gap in the industry: a public-facing, media-forward event that centers real-world impact and human stories alongside scientific advancement. The evening unfolded in three acts, aligned with pregnantish’s pillars of Access & Awareness, Innovation & Technology, and Equity & Inclusion, honoring those shaping the future of reproductive care.

Since the event, the momentum has continued to grow, reaching millions worldwide through media coverage and digital amplification.

“For years, fertility innovation has been happening quietly, but changing lives every day…” said Andrea Syrtash, Founder of pregnantish and The World Fertility Awards. “At pregnantish, we know that when diverse perspectives come together, the landscape shifts.”

Dr. Thomas Molinaro, Chief Medical Officer of IVI RMA North America, early supporters of the WFAs, emphasized the importance of global collaboration in fertility care: “The World Fertility Awards unite visionaries who transform dreams into families. At IVI RMA, we honor this global movement — advancing science, equity, and hope so every patient can access the care they deserve.”

A defining aspect of the show was its focus on underrepresented topics and voices. One spotlight centered on male fertility, reinforcing the message that infertility is not solely a women’s issue.

With the support of Fellow and feedback from the global WFA adjudicators, the WFAs honored fitness and lifestyle influencer, Brian Mazza, with “The Champion for Male Fertility Advocacy Award”.

Molly Eaton, Fellow’s VP of Sales, shared, “Fellow supports the World Fertility Awards to champion action on male factor fertility, providing diagnostic-grade mail-in semen analysis that empowers men to test earlier and access answers from home.”

The evening also featured a powerful Legacy segment, honoring pioneers whose work transformed fertility care, including Professor Antonio Pellicer, founder of IVI RMA Global, which now operates more than 200 clinics worldwide; Jacques Cohen, Nobel Prize–winning embryologist whose laboratory breakthroughs, including ICSI, revolutionized IVF; and Elizabeth Jordan Carr, the first IVF baby born in the United States.

Additional standout moments included inspirational acceptance speeches from astronaut Kellie Gerardi, and social media star and singer, Loren Rosko, both long-time fertility advocates who were invited to the event prior to their pregnancies, and who shared messages of hope following years of struggle.

Another celebrated moment of the evening was “Fertility Center,” a satirical play on ESPN’s SportsCenter, hosted by broadcaster and speaker Jenna Wolfe, and kicked off on video by ESPN’s Nicole Briscoe. The segment highlighted professional athletes using their platforms to elevate infertility, and featured appearances by Olympic medalists and sports stars Carli Lloyd, Brittany Brown, Ken Daneyko, Samantha and Kyle Busch, Ali Riley, and Tara Lipinski, underscoring the growing role of athletes in advancing awareness and advocacy in reproductive health.

As the first consumer-facing media event of its kind, the World Fertility Awards signal a new era: one where fertility conversations are inclusive, visible, and grounded in both science and humanity.

This year’s landmark event will take place on Dec 9, 2026.

Hillcrest Raises the Bar for Senior Brain Health by Serving Residents the MIND Diet Program at Every Meal, Every Day

LA VERNE, Calif., Jan. 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As national attention increasingly turns toward brain health and healthy aging, Hillcrest, a nonprofit continuing care retirement community in Southern California, is translating research into daily practice by offering seniors brain-healthy foods at every meal, every day. Hillcrest is the only senior living community in the region to fully integrate the MIND diet, a science-backed lifestyle approach to maintaining cognitive strength through nutrition, into its daily dining.

Hillcrest in La Verne, Calif., offers MIND diet entrees at every meal, every day, as part of its overall wellness programs supporting cognitive health among its residents.
Image caption: Hillcrest in La Verne, Calif., offers MIND diet entrees at every meal, every day, as part of its overall wellness programs supporting cognitive health among its residents.

National media continue to profile how the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet protects the brain and might influence dementia risk. According to a recent article in The New York Times [1], studies show those who follow the MIND diet report better cognitive functioning, a lower risk of dementia and slower disease progression in people with Alzheimer’s. Research cited in the article indicates people may benefit from the diet regardless of whether they start it in midlife or later.

While many senior communities reference brain health in programming, Hillcrest distinguishes itself with its commitment to providing a research-driven, brain-healthy diet as part of the daily experience for its residents, one that is part of an overarching dementia-centered suite of initiatives adopted in 2019.

“We do not treat brain health as a trend. We treat it as a responsibility. When the research showed the MIND diet could meaningfully support cognitive health, we made the decision seven years ago to serve it every day at breakfast, lunch, and dinner,” says Ryan Harrison, PsyD, Certified Wellness Professional and Director of Resident Life and Wellness at Hillcrest. “Our residents enjoy delicious, thoughtful meals, and they also understand why those choices matter. That consistency is what sets Hillcrest apart.”

In addition to daily MIND diet menus, Hillcrest offers regular educational sessions to help residents understand the science behind brain-healthy nutrition and how food choices support overall wellness. Residents frequently report feeling supported, empowered, and satisfied by the variety and quality of meals offered.

“We understand the importance of nutrition’s role in maintaining cognitive longevity,” says Harrison. “I’m proud that Hillcrest’s health and wellness programs are committed to making brain health a priority.”

About Hillcrest

Hillcrest is an upscale 501(c)(3) nonprofit continuing care retirement community (CCRC) centrally located in the San Gabriel Valley, less than 30 minutes from Los Angeles, Anaheim, Pasadena, and San Bernardino and at the gateway to the Inland Empire. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood just off Foothill Boulevard in La Verne, California, Hillcrest offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing with an emphasis on wellness and health.

Pocatello Children’s Clinic Warns of Primary Care Pending Tragedy – Proposes Emergency Amendment to 2025 Idaho House Bill 345

Fallout could trigger a $400-$600 million annual budget overrun and loss of access to care for children on Medicaid

POCATELLO, Idaho, Jan. 7, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Pocatello Children’s Clinic is sounding the alarm regarding a pending statewide primary care crisis created by 2025 Idaho House Bill 345, and proposing an emergency amendment to avert tragedy. Idaho recently passed legislation to transition Medicaid to Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) by 2029. While the intent is to improve efficiency and cost control, interim changes over the next three years include eliminating the Healthy Connections Case Management program, well before replacement infrastructure is ready. The fallout could trigger a $400-$600 million annual budget overrun and loss of access to care for children on Medicaid.

Pocatello Children's Clinic
Image caption: Pocatello Children’s Clinic.

A PROPOSED SOLUTION:

To prevent this crisis, the Pocatello Children’s Clinic has drafted a formal Amendment to House Bill 345. The amendment seeks to re-establish the Healthy Connections Case Management program as a bridge until the MCOs are fully ready to accept the handoff. This ensures a seamless transition, protects taxpayer dollars, and maintains the primary care infrastructure that has served Idaho for 32 years.

The Clinic has spent the last six months collaborating with state legislators, partner clinics, hospitals, other Idaho pediatricians, and the Idaho Academy of Family Physicians to build support for this measure. So far, the response has been positive; however, action is desperately needed.

CALL TO ACTION:

As the Idaho Legislature convenes on January 12, the Pocatello Children’s Clinic urges citizens to contact their state legislators. Reinstating the Healthy Connections Case Management program is a vital step in ensuring that Idaho doctors can continue to serve their communities.

BACKGROUND INFO:

Healthy Connections enables local physicians to coordinate care for Medicaid-insured patients. Approximately one-third of patients at Pocatello Children’s Clinic rely on Medicaid to access care. Loss of this long-standing program threatens access to vital health services and creates financial instability for community-based pediatric practices.

Healthy Connections benefits all patients – not just those on Medicaid—by supporting referrals, after-hours care, preventive care, and care coordination. Pediatric practices invest significant effort in reducing unnecessary emergency room visits through free nurse lines, overnight physician access, and extended clinic hours. These services do not generate revenue but are critical to keeping costs down and improving outcomes.

Rising healthcare costs are driven by technology, high-cost medications, chronic disease, and patient expectations—not by Healthy Connections Case Management. Short-term savings from eliminating the program will be eclipsed by higher emergency room utilization, delayed care, and reduced access to primary care, ultimately increasing costs to the state. Idaho Medicaid reimbursement to private practice is often already less than the cost of providing that patient visit.

Beyond fiscal impact, there is a human cost. Medicaid practices are central to the health and stability of local communities. The clinic’s Pediatricians, nurses, office managers, and support staff are community members who have served Southeast Idaho families for more than 60 years. The ability of practices like ours to continue providing that level of service is under threat.

ABOUT POCATELLO CHILDREN’S CLINIC:

Pocatello Children’s Clinic includes eight of the nine primary care pediatricians in the region (including Bannock, Power, Caribou, Bear Lake, Oneida, Franklin, and Bingham counties). Since 1962, the Pocatello Children’s Clinic has provided comprehensive pediatric care to generations of families in Southeast Idaho. As a historical medical training site for the University of Washington, Idaho State University, and Full Circle Health, the clinic remains dedicated to fostering the next generation of healthcare professionals and protecting the health of Idaho’s children.

AgingIN invites elder care leaders to the ReImagining Care Models conference for dynamic discussions on person-directed living, workforce culture, and operational design.

DESIGNED FOR OPERATORS READY TO REPOSITION

Many skilled nursing providers are actively exploring how to realign their communities with today’s market realities. The symposium offers practical guidance from concept to execution, whether that means shifting the skilled nursing model, redesigning assisted living for higher acuity, or evaluating a small-house approach such as THE GREEN HOUSE® Project.

The program centers on the pivotal decisions leaders are facing, including:

  • Sustaining or redesigning skilled nursing in a tightening financial climate
  • Repositioning assisted living to meet a changing customer profile
  • Understanding the full cost to develop and run a small-house model, and when it makes sense
  • Evaluate the long-term implications of exiting skilled nursing

Attendees will also learn from Poydras Home’s household model transformation, a living example of person-directed care paired with operational redesign.

“Leaders will leave with frameworks and tools they can apply immediately, including financial and strategic lenses for comparing pathways, real-world examples of successful pivots, and proven approaches to workforce culture and design feasibility,” said Ryan.

Cooking, Connection, and Care: AgingIN Spotlights the Person-directed Living Difference

Celebrating the Season of Care with Family and Community Caregivers

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 4, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As the holidays bring moments of connection, AgingIN is recognizing the caregivers and elders who preserve the comfort and continuity of home in long-term care. Caregiving touches nearly every family, with millions of Americans providing support to loved ones, often while balancing jobs, children, and their own health. AgingIN, home to THE GREEN HOUSE® Project and Pioneer Network, celebrates these families and the AgingIN-associated professional care teams that are built for person-directed living.

Green House and “small house” homes prioritize the needs and wishes of older adults and are considered the “gold standard” for long-term skilled nursing care. Green House homes’ household model embraces person-centered care, individual choice, and close personal attention. Homes are led by one or two “Shahbazim”, as the head of household, with a nurse supporting 10 to 12 elders with private rooms and baths, plus shared spaces that feel like a true home, not an institutional facility. This flips the medical model upside down and enables consistent, cross-trained care partners to cook, support daily life, and build close ties with elders and families who lead the households.

“Together, the deep relationship that exists between caregiver and resident is core to who we are, and the link between elders and care partners is an inseparable link. As a result, both elders and care partners benefit, grow and thrive,” said Susan Ryan, CEO of AgingIN.

At the Porter Hills Village Green House Home in Grand Rapids, Mich., a community of Brio Living Services, those bonds show up in everyday moments. Francisco Rivera, a certified nursing assistant and scheduling coordinator who has supported elders there for 16 years, remembers learning to cook alongside one resident who noticed his interest and invited him into the kitchen before his shift. Together they planned dinners, practiced new skills, and turned meal prep into a shared routine. Rivera still makes the acorn squash and meatloaf she taught him to make, dishes he had never tried before working in the home, and meals that now connect his own life to the elder who helped shape it.

HELPING DURING THE HOLIDAYS

Rivera says the holidays bring that same spirit of partnership to the forefront.

“We help elders contact their families and set up visits, reserve spaces in the house for larger gatherings, and make sure they are rested and feeling their best before company arrives,” he said. “We also ask elders what they want on the holiday menu and prepare it the way they like it. Families often bring their favorite dishes from home, and we all share the space together.”

As the season turns toward winter holidays and New Year’s celebrations, AgingIN encourages communities and families to support caregivers with the following tips:

  • Check in regularly and ask what would help most, not what you assume people in your care
  • Offer specific help, for example, taking a shift with errands, bringing a meal, or sitting with a loved one so the person providing care can rest.
  • Include caregivers in holiday plans, while also giving them permission to step back when they are exhausted.
  • Share gratitude out loud, in front of elders and families, because recognition reduces burnout.
  • If you are visiting a loved one in a care community, partner with the care team by communicating early about schedules, food traditions, and what will make the visit comfortable for everyone.

Ryan shares, “Caregiving is a relationship, and this support works best when it flows in both directions. These partnerships are the heart of quality care and the reason holidays in Green House homes feel like family, because in many ways they are.”

Communities like Brio Living Services, which operate small house and Green House homes, enjoy greater professional care stability because the settings are more personally satisfying. Francisco has worked with Brio for nearly two decades and likes providing person-centered care. “My coworkers and elders have taught me so much during my time at Brio. I love that here, we have a voice.”

New Cadence Healthcare Welcomes Dr. Jasia Hu, Expanding Its Growing Movement Toward Membership-Based Primary Care

LONG BEACH, Calif., Dec. 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — New Cadence Healthcare is excited to welcome Dr. Jasia Hu, M.D., who officially joined our team on December 1, 2025. A board-certified family medicine physician who has cared for the Long Beach community since 2010, Dr. Hu brings deep experience in preventive care, chronic disease management, and patient education.

Dr Jasia Hu of New Cadence Healthcare
Image caption: Dr Jasia Hu of New Cadence Healthcare.

Dr. Hu grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, attended UC Berkeley, and earned her medical degree from Drexel University College of Medicine. After completing her residency at Long Beach Memorial, she became board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine and is an active member of the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Throughout her career, Dr. Hu has been known for her unrushed, attentive approach to patient care. She builds long-term relationships with individuals and families, often caring for multiple generations. She explains, “My approach to medicine is centered around preventive care, education, and empowering patients to take an active role in their own health. New Cadence’s model allows me to practice the kind of thoughtful, patient-focused medicine I’ve always valued.”

A PRACTICE BUILT AROUND PERSONAL CONNECTION

New Cadence Healthcare is a membership-based primary care practice that centers healthcare around meaningful doctor–patient relationships. By limiting patient panel sizes, physicians are able to offer longer visits, same or next-day appointments, direct access, and individualized care plans.

Since opening just one year ago, New Cadence has seen remarkable growth. Founder Dr. Cordelia Lieberman Sotelo reached her full membership panel within her first year, a milestone that reflects the community’s desire for a more personal, connected healthcare experience.

With Dr. Hu joining the team, New Cadence will be able to welcome a limited number of new patients under her 300-member cap. Interest in her panel has already been strong, reaffirming the need for a model of care that prioritizes time, access, and relationships.

Dr. Sotelo shares, “My mission is to deliver individualized and attentive care that corporate practices often do not support. The phrase I hear from patients about the value of this kind of service is, ‘it’s a no-brainer.’ That tells me we are meeting a real need.”

RESTORING WHAT PRIMARY CARE SHOULD FEEL LIKE

New Cadence was created in response to the limitations of traditional healthcare, where rushed visits, long wait times, and rules that limit meaningful interaction have become routine. The practice offers a different path: care that is personal, responsive, and built around the patient as a whole person, leading to better health outcomes and experiences.

Dr. Hu officially joins the practice this December, further expanding New Cadence’s ability to provide accessible, relationship-based primary care to Long Beach residents seeking a more attentive and individualized experience.

HealthSync AI Unveils Industry’s First Unified Digital Healthcare Platform (UDHP) to Transform Hospital, Medical Group, and Rural Health System Operations

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 19, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — HealthSync AI, a leader in healthcare automation and AI-native clinical intelligence, today announced the launch of the Unified Digital Healthcare Platform (UDHP), the first end-to-end, AI-orchestrated infrastructure designed to unify fragmented systems across hospitals, medical groups, and rural healthcare providers.

HealthSync AI
Image caption: HealthSync AI.

The HealthSync UDHP sits above existing EHRs and operational systems, connecting data, workflows, revenue cycle processes, and clinical intelligence into a single, secure, real-time ecosystem. The platform enables healthcare organizations to unlock unified operations without replacing their EHRs or core systems.

“Healthcare doesn’t need another standalone tool, it needs a new foundation,” said Chris Fisher, CEO of HealthSync AI. “Our UDHP architecture solves the systemic issues that EHRs were never built to address. This is the operational backbone that hospitals, clinics, and rural providers have been asking for.”

A NEW ARCHITECTURE FOR A FRAGMENTED INDUSTRY

Most hospitals and clinics rely on hundreds of disconnected applications, leading to data silos, errors, manual work, and multi-day delays in patient and billing workflows. According to a 2024 JAMA Network Open study, only 8–19% of U.S. family physicians report “ideal” interoperability across their systems, with rural providers experiencing significantly worse fragmentation.

HealthSync AI’s UDHP solves this by introducing a unified operational graph that connects data from EHRs, RCM systems, payer portals, telephony, lab systems, and specialty platforms. The platform automates cross-department workflows using a secure, healthcare-specific AI reasoning engine.

CORE COMPONENTS OF THE UDHP

  • Atrium™ – A HIPAA-native clinical reasoning SLM that powers documentation, coding, decision support, and multimodal understanding.
  • Voxr9™ – Ambient voice AI that captures clinician–patient conversations in the exam room and generates complete EHR documentation with optional real-time translation.
  • OmniSync™ – AI voice and chat agents that manage scheduling, intake, triage, and patient communication 24/7.
  • Pulse3™ – Real-time RCM engine that validates coding, checks eligibility, and drives clean-claim rates up to 98%.
  • OrchestrAI™ – Workflow automation engine that coordinates clinical and operational actions across systems.
  • Sentinel™ / EquiScan™ – Continuous governance, audit protection, and equity oversight.

DESIGNED FOR HOSPITALS, MEDICAL GROUPS, AND RURAL HEALTHCARE

The UDHP enables organizations of all sizes to achieve:

  • 30–50% administrative burden reduction
  • 1–2 hours/day returned to clinicians
  • 85%+ workflow automation
  • Faster revenue cycles and near-zero denials
  • Improved patient communication and safety
  • On-premise or private-cloud deployment for PHI control

“Rural and independent clinics have been left behind by traditional interoperability efforts,” said Fisher. “The UDHP levels the playing field by giving them access to the same unified infrastructure as major health systems, without the cost or complexity.”

ABOUT HEALTHSYNC AI

HealthSync AI is a healthcare infrastructure company specializing in AI-driven workflow orchestration, clinical reasoning models, ambient intelligence, and unified data automation. The company’s UDHP powers the next generation of healthcare operations for hospitals, medical groups, and rural health systems.

Caring for the Caregiver: Tips for Families During National Family Caregiving Month

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 18, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — During National Family Caregiving Month, Simpson is recognizing and supporting the millions of Americans who provide care for loved ones by sharing resources and guidance through its Confident Caregiving for Family and Friends webinar. Simpson, a nonprofit senior living organization serving older adults for more than 150 years, offers families guidance, resources, and reassurance that they are not alone. Whether helping a spouse with memory loss, coordinating appointments for a parent, or offering companionship to an aging neighbor, it is both deeply meaningful and emotionally demanding.

Simpson Life Plan Communities
Simpson Life Plan Communities.

Caregiving is a year-round responsibility, and as Dr. Carol McKinley, Simpson President and CEO, notes, “It can be one of the most challenging roles a person takes on, but also one of the most meaningful.”

In the U.S., 48 million adults serve as family caregivers, according to AARP, a role that can significantly impact their mental and physical health. As the population ages, the demand for caregivers, often spouses or family members, will continue to grow. The burden often includes medical tasks, such as administering injections or managing medications, that many are untrained to perform.

“Many caregivers don’t ask for help, or, in many cases, may feel the need to handle the weight of it on their own,” according to Dr. McKinley. A recent AARP study found that 50% of caregivers reported heightened emotional stress, with women experiencing more anxiety than men.

Caring for the caregiver is critical. “When caregivers are supported, both they and their loved ones thrive,” said Dr. McKinley.

KEY REMINDERS FOR CAREGIVERS AND FAMILIES

Care for Yourself While Caring for Others

Many caregivers neglect their own needs, leading to burnout. Taking time for rest, connection, and self-care isn’t selfish; it’s essential. A simple walk, an exercise class, or coffee with a friend can help replenish emotional reserves.

Start Hard Conversations Early

Families often wait until a crisis to discuss living arrangements, finances, or health preferences. Early, honest conversations can prevent confusion and conflict later. Approaching these talks with empathy and patience helps loved ones feel respected and heard. Even the way you speak matters; language, tone, and setting can make these conversations more fruitful.

Accept Help When It’s Offered

Caregiving can feel isolating, but asking for or accepting help builds a stronger support network. Dr. McKinley stresses the importance of caregivers accepting small gestures, such as sharing meals or handling errands, to help lighten the daily load.

Recognize the Emotional Side of Caregiving

Caregiving can bring moments of love, frustration, grief, and gratitude – all at once. Acknowledging those feelings, rather than suppressing them, helps caregivers stay resilient. Journaling, counseling, or connecting with others in similar roles can provide a valuable perspective.

Explore Resources and Person-Directed Care Options

If care needs increase, explore services that align with your loved one’s preferences and values. Simpson’s communities emphasize person-directed care, meaning each resident’s choices, routines, and individuality are honored. The right environment can bring peace of mind to both caregivers and those they love.

Shift the Narrative: From Directives to Dialogue

Experts recommend that families approach difficult caregiving conversations with empathy. Seek out education for both caregiver and patient on the best ways to initiate delicate conversations. Jenner’s Pond, a Simpson community in West Grove, Penn., partners with the University of Delaware’s Healthcare Theatre to present caregiving scenarios and possible responses. Attending a presentation like this can be a good door opener to a deeper conversation.

“Caregiving is deeply rewarding. Many caregivers feel gratitude for the opportunity to support a loved one. But it’s critical to remember: putting your own oxygen mask on first helps you be the best caregiver you can be,” says Dr. McKinley.

This month, Simpson encourages families to reach out for help and to remember that confident caregiving begins with compassion for others and for oneself.

ABOUT SIMPSON

Since 1865, Simpson has met the changing needs and desires of Philadelphia area seniors from diverse backgrounds as a not-for-profit family of services consisting of three Life Plan Communities: 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. The organization is dedicated to offering the highest level of lifestyle and care available in beautiful, dignified, and spiritual settings.

Neurology, Psychiatry and Balance Therapy Center (NPBTC) Launches New Website to Better Support Patients

The improved online presence matches NPBTC's personalized and leading-edge treatment approach

BLUE BELL, Pa., Oct. 15, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The team at Neurology, Psychiatry, and Balance Therapy Center (NPBTC) aims to treat the whole person, including the part that needs information or scheduling functionality online. With that in mind, the practice has retooled its website.

The new site delivers information patients and potential patients need. It’s fast, responsive, and easy to navigate so website visitors can clearly understand the care NPBTC offers and how to access it.

The now-launched NPBTC website puts an emphasis on the team’s areas of expertise. It has dedicated landing pages for all of the following services:

  • Neurology: Whether someone’s dealing with memory loss, a concussion, migraines, or another neurological condition, the NPBTC team packed this service page with information about both neurology in general and their treatment approach in particular.
  • Physical therapy: NPBTC offers physical therapy to help with safe movement, fall avoidance, and support for specific conditions like Parkinson’s disease. The new webpage makes it clear how the team approaches physical therapy, and how it ties into their neurology care. Their physical therapy team is led by Dr. James Barsky, a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy.
  • TMS therapy: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a leading-edge treatment for depression, OCD, and smoking cessation. This landing page explains how the FDA-cleared treatment works in the brain and what patients can expect if they choose it.
  • Psychiatry: This service page explains the mental healthcare that the Center’s team offers. Because Dr. Sonya Knight is board-certified in both psychiatry and neurology, patients at NPBTC have access to psychiatric care ranging from diagnosis to referrals to a talk therapist.

To provide patients a clearer idea of how the Neurology, Psychiatry and Balance Therapy Center can help, the site also features dedicated webpages for the conditions the team most commonly treats. People can find detailed information about depression, epilepsy, smoking addiction, and more.

Perhaps most importantly, if anyone decides they would benefit from care at the Center, the website makes it easy for them to get started. Contact information is prominently featured, and the site includes a form potential patients can submit to request an appointment.

With the new, informative, patient-focused site, the Neurology, Psychiatry and Balance Therapy Center has an online presence that matches the care its team provides.

ABOUT NEUROLOGY, PSYCHIATRY AND BALANCE THERAPY CENTER (NPBTC)

Neurology, Psychiatry, and Balance Therapy Center was founded in 2012 by triple board-certified neurologist and psychiatrist Dr. Sonya Knight. The practice was built with a single purpose: to treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

Located in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, NPBTC offers an integrated model of care that brings together neurology, psychiatry, and physical therapy under one roof. By combining brain-based medicine with personalized physical rehabilitation and mental health support, the team is able to deliver more complete, compassionate care for complex conditions.

With the scribe capturing exam findings, treatment discussions, consent details, and next‑steps, visits feel more personal and less interrupted by data entry. The result is clearer documentation of patient preferences and care plans, faster post‑visit follow‑up, and fewer administrative errors—helping patients feel heard, reducing repeat questions, and improving continuity of care.
  • Hello Annie — Annie AI automates appointment reminders, pre‑op and post‑op instructions, and follow‑up messaging to improve adherence and reduce no‑shows. The virtual assistant frees staff to focus on high‑value patient interactions and enhances continuity of care.

Global Changemakers Unite for the World Fertility Awards at The Times Center in NYC

The WFAs aim to transform the future of family building by spotlighting progress in reproductive health and honoring those driving change

NEW YORK, N.Y., Sept. 25, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Pregnantish, the first global media platform dedicated to helping people navigate their fertility, will produce the inaugural World Fertility Awards (WFAs) at The Times Center in NYC on December 1. With 500+ nominations from every continent except Antarctica, finalists were selected by a global committee and announced today at worldfertilityawards.com.

Pregnantish World Fertility Awards
Image caption: World Fertility Awards.

The WFAs aim to transform the future of family building by spotlighting progress in reproductive health and honoring those driving change across access, awareness, inclusion, and innovation. This global event will unite medical professionals, advocates, public figures, and industry leaders in support of millions facing fertility challenges.

Backed by international host committees and sponsors, the WFAs will amplify stories of perseverance, science, and hope—bringing visibility to a community often overlooked.

CELEBRATING ACCESS AND AWARENESS

Honoree, astronaut and Time100-creator Kellie Gerardi, is being recognized for sharing her IVF story with millions:

“When I started IVF, it felt like a secret, lonely club no one prepared me for. I share my story to break the stigma, make the invisible visible, and help others feel less alone. My hope is for a future where fertility care is accessible and met with compassion.”

Carrot, a global fertility and family-forming care platform, is sponsoring the WFAs to highlight the need to expand access:

“The World Fertility Awards is elevating critical conversations and advancing our shared mission to increase access,” said Brooke Quinn, Chief Operating Officer at Carrot. “We’re thrilled to join Pregnantish in recognizing the innovators and advocates who are breaking down barriers to make quality fertility care a reality for everyone, everywhere.”

Sarah Kennedy Ellis, VP of Global Growth and Demand at Google Cloud, is among the leaders involved. She emphasizes the value of support during infertility:

“One of the few things we have when going through infertility struggles is community—to laugh, to cry, to learn and everything in between. That’s why celebrating one another and giving more visibility is so important.”

ADVANCING EQUITY AND INCLUSION

The WFAs honors leaders promoting inclusion in fertility care. Former Weekend Today anchor Jenna Wolfe, made history in 2013 by coming out publicly, announcing she was expecting with her wife. She will speak on the need for representation.

In Asia, where infertility stigma remains despite medical advances, innovators are closing equity gaps. WFA sponsor GenPrime, part of Rhea Fertility, led by CEO Margaret Wang shares,

“We understand the hidden struggles many families in Asia face—long wait times, regulatory barriers, and the emotional weight of not knowing where to turn. GenPrime addresses this through a strong international network of fertility clinics that combines science with personalized care. In doing so, we’re creating pathways and opening doors to parenthood. Supporting the World Fertility Awards reflects our belief that Asia deserves fertility care that is inclusive, innovative, and within reach.”

HIGHLIGHTING INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY

Pharmaceutical leader Ferring Pharmaceuticals is offering support in recognition of advances in reproductive medicine.

“We are honored to recognize the meaningful contributions of the people and organizations who are helping to shape the future of reproductive medicine,” said David Powley, Vice President, Reproductive Medicine at Ferring. “The World Fertility Awards is a powerful illustration of our shared focus to help more people become parents—by advancing science, building awareness about the impact of infertility and expanding access to care. We applaud Pregnantish on this important endeavor.”

Prof. Antonio Pellicer, IVF pioneer and co-founder of WFA sponsor IVI RMA Global, will be celebrated for his contribution. With over 200 clinics in 15 countries, IVI has helped bring assisted reproductive technology into the mainstream.

“When we founded IVI 35 years ago, what we were doing in IVF felt almost like science fiction—cutting-edge medicine accessible only to few. It is deeply inspiring to see how those early innovations have become standard of care, and to know that thousands of families across the globe now benefit each year from once-unimaginable treatments.”

IVF trailblazer and Nobel Prize winner Jacques Cohen, being honored for his legacy, is known for breakthroughs in embryo freezing and more.

“When I began my career in 1976, just before Louise Brown’s birth, IVF was a bold experiment with little interest—400 patients, two births. Today, steady progress has transformed it into a reliable option. We’re halfway to our goal of 100% fertilization, healthy embryos, and successful implantation. The journey has been consistent, remarkable, and worth celebrating.”

Holzman Laser Vision and Dr. Andrew Holzman Introduce Wavelight Plus Technology to the DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia Region

MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 5, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Holzman Laser Vision, led by nationally renowned refractive surgeon Dr. Andrew Holzman, MD, FACS, is proud to be the first practice to bring the Wavelight® Plus procedure – the latest advancement in laser vision correction – to patients across the Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia area.

Photo caption: The Holzman Laser Vision family showing off the + with our newest technology — Wavelight Plus for personalized vision correction.

With more than 30 years of experience and tens of thousands of procedures performed, Dr. Holzman has built a reputation as one of the most trusted names in LASIK and refractive surgery. By introducing Wavelight® Plus technology, Holzman Laser Vision continues its commitment to combining world-class expertise with the most advanced technology available.

“Every patient deserves a treatment plan tailored to their unique eyes and lifestyle,” said Dr. Andrew Holzman. “Wavelight Plus allows us to achieve that with a level of precision and safety that truly represents the next generation of laser vision correction.”

ABOUT THE WAVELIGHT® PLUS ADVANTAGE

Each year, approximately 300,000 Americans choose laser vision correction. The Wavelight® Plus platform, designed by Wavelight Laser Technologies AG and acquired by Alcon Laboratories, Inc., represents a breakthrough in personalization and accuracy.

Key benefits include:

  • Personalized treatment planning using advanced diagnostic measurements and ray-tracing technology for each individual eye.
  • Speed and safety, with faster treatments that improve outcome predictability.
  • Active eye-tracking technology to respond instantly to natural eye movements during surgery, ensuring maximum precision.
  • Improved night vision outcomes, with an optimized treatment zone that reduces glare, halos, and other side effects commonly associated with older technology.

WHY PATIENTS CHOOSE HOLZMAN LASER VISION

At Holzman Laser Vision, every treatment is guided not just by cutting-edge technology, but also by Dr. Holzman’s deep experience and patient-first philosophy. Each consultation considers the patient’s unique eye health, visual goals, and lifestyle to deliver a truly customized solution.

“This project represents our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive, on-site healthcare that supports our residents’ dignity and independence,” said Jennifer Darnell, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Lutheran Life Communities. “Partnering with DaVita, a leader in kidney care, allows us to provide best-in-class dialysis treatment right here at home.”

“We bring 20 years of experience as a leading kidney care provider,” said Dan Viaches, president of DaVita SNF Dialysis. “We appreciate that Lutheran Home trusts us to deliver high-quality care to the patients they serve.”

Small Homes, Big Impact: CFI Conference Aligns with WHO’s Global Call for Social Connection

Movement Works to Combat Senior Loneliness through Community-Focused Design

ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 31, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As global recognition of loneliness intensifies following a landmark World Health Organization (WHO) report identifying loneliness as a public health crisis, the Center for Innovation (CFI) is convening leaders from across the country to showcase bold, evidence-based solutions. At the 2025 CFI Conference, held August 11-14 in St. Louis, senior care innovators will explore how small home models, including the nationally recognized Green House Project, are working to reduce social disconnection through intentional design and urban innovation.

Small home designs foster joy, connection, and purpose - key themes of the 2025 CFI Conference on combating senior loneliness.

The conference will explore how innovative, human-centered housing models, such as small homes, cohousing clusters, and shared neighborhood amenities, can help rebuild the social fabric in cities and suburbs alike. EverTrue Laclede Groves, in Webster Groves, MO, is an example of a traditional long-term care environment that has been converted into individual households and apartments, reimagining what it means to live and age with dignity, connection, and purpose.

“This report is a clarion call, but it’s not news to those of us in the small home movement,” said Susan Ryan, CEO of CFI. “For nearly two decades, we’ve seen how intentional environments—homes designed to foster community and purpose—can transform lives. The WHO findings validate what we’ve long known: connection is a cornerstone of health.”

According to the WHO report, loneliness and social isolation is on the rise, with one in six people globally experiencing loneliness, which contributes to over 871,000 premature deaths annually and significantly impacts both mental and physical well-being.

Dr. Kelly Tremblay, who is an advisor to the WHO and to CFI, says, “The WHO found strong social connections can lead to better health and longer life, and that’s what the small home movement is showing as well,” said Tremblay. “I’m heartened to see the serious attention being given to the health impacts of loneliness and isolation and to be part of meaningful, local efforts to foster real connection.”

Tim Dolan, who started Dolan Memory Care Homes over 30 years ago, explained, “People thrive in homes, not institutions. That’s why every one of our 17 memory care homes is intentionally designed to feel like a real home—with open kitchens, shared meals at a single table, and safe access to the outdoors. When people feel at ease, they connect more easily, and that sense of connection is essential to their well-being.”

About Center for Innovation

The Center for Innovation (CFI) is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming aging services through person-directed practices, community connection, and culture change. As the parent organization of The Green House Project and Pioneer Network, CFI brings together two leading voices in eldercare reform to create empowering, person-directed services and support for all older adults.

Legacy Dental Expands Services to Offer Customized Oral Appliances for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 22, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Legacy Dental is excited to announce a significant enhancement to its services: the introduction of customized oral appliances designed specifically for managing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This innovative treatment option is now available for patients seeking effective solutions for sleep-related breathing disorders, marking a substantial advancement in dental and sleep health.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a common condition affecting millions of individuals globally, characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions can result in severe health complications, including cardiovascular issues, increased stroke risk, high blood pressure, and daytime fatigue, adversely affecting overall quality of life. Traditionally, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines have been the standard treatment for OSA; however, many patients find these devices uncomfortable and difficult to use consistently. Recognizing this gap in patient care, Legacy Dental now offers a comfortable and effective alternative through its customized oral appliances.

“Our mission at Legacy Dental is to provide comprehensive dental care that meets the unique needs of our patients,” said Dr. Jonathan Campbell, DDS. “With the introduction of these oral appliances, we are proud to offer a personalized solution that can significantly enhance the quality of life for those suffering from sleep apnea. We understand that each patient is unique, and our approach reflects that by tailoring our solutions to fit individual needs.”

The newly available oral appliances are custom-fitted to each patient, ensuring optimal comfort and efficacy. These devices work by gently repositioning the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, thereby reducing the frequency of apneas and improving overall sleep quality. Designed with the latest technology and materials, these oral appliances ensure durability and comfort, making them an ideal choice for those struggling with traditional CPAP therapy.

Patients interested in these customized oral appliances will undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including a thorough assessment of their dental health and review of any information provided by their physician. This evaluation allows the dental team at Legacy Dental to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses the specific needs of each patient, ensuring the best possible outcome.

In addition to providing oral appliances, Legacy Dental is committed to educating patients about the importance of sleep health and the impact of obstructive sleep apnea on overall well-being. The dental team will work closely with patients to monitor their progress and make necessary adjustments to their treatment plan.

For more information about the new oral appliance options or to schedule a consultation, please visit legacydental.com or call (801) 278-4223. Legacy Dental invites the community to take the first step toward better sleep health and overall wellness.
