Spodak Dental Group Celebrates Earth Month with 11th Annual Beach Cleanup

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Spodak Dental Group team participated in their 11th Annual Beach Cleanup as part of Earth Month, with a goal to help rid waste on Delray Beach's local beach. The cleanup was held Saturday, April 6 at Delray Beach, South Tower 3, and a team of 67 volunteers picked up more than 200 pounds of trash.

It is estimated that a garbage truck's worth of plastic enters the ocean every minute. With plastic use expected to double by 2040, the team feels that it's imperative that continued action is taken to both remove as much waste from the community as possible, as well as educate community members on the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling.

"The beach cleanup is more than just picking up litter. It's about creating awareness in our community. It's about partnering with other local organizations that have an Earth-conscious mindset, and it's about sharing the importance of taking care of the planet with our younger generation," said Dr. Craig Spodak, general dentist at Spodak Dental Group. "We are proud to continue our commitment of taking the very best care of our community, and look forward to continuing to do so every chance we get."

Spodak Dental Group partnered with Trashy Mermaids, a Delray Beach-based volunteer organization that is passionate about protecting the beach and its inhabitants. The beach cleanup event was part of the Great American Cleanup, which is a project of Keep America Beautiful. The Great American Cleanup events during the month of April include a massive removal of litter and illegal dumping from public spaces, including neighborhoods, roadways, waterways, parks, schools, and more.

"Patients should come to my office to help feel like their problems have been addressed and that their time was well spent," said Dr. Patel. "My goal is to always have patients leave with fewer problems than they came in with, and when at times that isn't possible, I want to help them leave with a plan of action in mind."

The group's expansion into Lake Nona exemplifies its dedication to bringing high-quality, patient-focused podiatric care to communities throughout Florida. Dr. Patel is eager to serve the thriving community and looks forward to building lasting relationships with her new patients.

Woburn Dental Office Offers Dental Emergencies Tips

WOBURN, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- Emergency dentist office, Woburn Dentistry offers comprehensive patient care and emergency dental treatment. When it comes to dental emergencies, urgent care can make the difference between a pain-free smile and serious, irreparable damage.

Some of the most common dental emergencies include:

1. Broken tooth: A broken tooth may require a root canal to prevent further damage. Crowns can also be used to protect the tooth for the future.

2. Mouth ache: TMJ, bruxism, and soft tissue damage can lead to mouth aches. If your symptoms are not resolved after conservative at-home care, you may require a dental emergency checkup to rule out more serious problems and identify the underlying issue.

3. Avulsed tooth: When a tooth gets knocked out, it must be treated as soon as possible. Avoid touching the root, and place the tooth in a glass of milk as soon as possible.

4. Painful tooth: Tooth ache can occur for a variety of reasons, including loose fillings abscesses or cavities. Prompt dental care can help prevent complications and the need for more invasive procedures.

5. Painful gums: Healthy gums should be firm, pink, and pain-free. Gums that hurt may be infected, abscessed, or irritated from food particles stuck between the teeth or under the gum line. If a salt-water rinse and careful brushing and flossing do not alleviate the pain, patients should seek dental care as soon as possible.

According to Dr. Jamie Chan, Dentist at Woburn Dentistry: "There are a number of precautions you can take to avoid accident dental injury - from wearing a mouthguard during sports to avoiding biting on ice, popcorn kernels, and hard candy, each of which can crack a tooth. The quicker you can get ahold of your emergency dentist, the better your chances of minimizing damage and reducing pain."

About Woburn Dentistry:

Founded in 2021, Woburn Dentistry is the best dental clinic serving patients in Woburn, Winchester, Burlington, and surrounding communities. The dental staff welcomes new patients and offers such services as crowns, root canal therapy, mouth guards, extractions, bonding, bridges, TMJ assistance, and dental implants. Those who wish to receive the best dental care in the area are welcome to schedule an appointment today.

Spodak Dental Group Offers $1,000 Off Invisalign Treatment for Patients of Now Bankrupt SmileDirectClub

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- The recent news of SmileDirectClub's bankruptcy has stranded current patients of their more than 2 million users without answers, aligners, and possibly still unhealthy and misaligned teeth. The Spodak Dental Group (SDG) team would like to help. If you are a SmileDirectClub patient and are not sure where to turn to next, SDG has some recommendations.

"The reason a person enrolls in orthodontic treatment is to achieve the health and function to maintain their teeth for a lifetime and the smile of their dreams. Not only do patients have to commit to months of treatment, it is also an added lifestyle expense," said Dr. Craig Spodak, general dentist at Spodak Dental Group. "What makes it all worth it is the patient enjoying their smile at the end of their orthodontic journey. So for all those SmileDirectClub patients who now don't have the straight and healthy smile they signed up - and paid - for, it's unfair. This is why my team has decided to step up to help serve."

SDG is offering complimentary smile assessments to any patient currently still in treatment OR dissatisfied with their results from SmileDirectClub. A no cost digital scan will be offered to determine the current oral health state of each patient and if there is the need for continued orthodontic treatment. If not, the team will provide night time retainers at a discounted rate. These retainers are essential for maintaining the proper alignment of the patient's teeth, as teeth continue to shift with time and use.

If additional orthodontic treatment is recommended, either to fix an issue with SmileDirectClub's treatment plan or to continue treatment, the SDG team will offer the Invisalign treatment method with a $1,000 discount.

Invisalign is the comfortable, safe and effective option for straightening teeth using custom, clear aligners. SDG is the only general dental office to earn the prestigious VIP: Diamond Plus status in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin Counties, meaning they have the experience to help their patients at the highest level possible.

The team urges all SmileDirectClub patients to at least schedule a consultation, so that any changes to their smile from the use of SmileDirectClub aligners can be expertly and properly assessed from a trained provider.

About The Spodak Dental Group:

The Spodak Dental Group, an Inc. 5000 honoree, has evolved to become South Florida's premier, comprehensive dental facility, and comprises a world-class association of dental professionals poised to provide full-service dental care second-to-none in both scope and skill.

Reimagining Wellness: At Charles E. Smith Life Communities The Age-Old House Calls Are An Innovative Approach To Healthcare

ROCKVILLE, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- Charles E. Smith Life Communities (CESLC) announced the recent promotion of Dr. Elisa Gil-Pires to executive vice president, medical affairs/chief medical officer and medical director of Charles E. Smith Life Communities. Dr. Gil-Pires leads a team of world-class doctors who still make house calls.

CESLC is one of the few senior living communities offering extensive medical care conveniently on their campus. Gil-Pires leads a team of five full-time internal medicine physicians who are employed by CESLC and specialize in treating older adults, along with a full team of medical consultants, including a psychiatrist, a physiatrist, a dentist, an optometrist, an audiologist and a dermatologist.

For Gil-Pires, providing such a comprehensive health and wellness care program for CESLC residents should be the standard instead of the exception. "At Charles E. Smith Life Communities, our medical practice focuses on treating the whole person, not just a set of diagnoses. We take the time to learn about the patient and their choices for the plan of care," she said.

Dr. Gil-Pires and her team are wholly committed to delivering top medical care for seniors. The on-campus Hebrew Home of Greater Washington has a five-star overall quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The Hirsh Health Center, a primary senior care medical practice, is open to the public and, unlike many medical practices, is still welcoming Medicare patients and making house calls to those living on campus.

"The approach we take to care at CESLC reflects my vision of person-centered care," said Dr. Gil-Pires. "I walk into a patient's apartment and see black and white photos - I see their weddings, families and careers. Their story unfolds through their photographs. Seeing people as people, regardless of their age, is central to our mission and so important to empowering our residents."

"What makes us unique on the CESLC campus is that I have a doctor managing each location - short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, outpatient, assisted living and memory care assisted living and our apartment residences. And there is a doctor on-premises six days a week," she said. "No senior living campus in the DC Metro area offers this level of medical services, and our doctors still make house calls. House calls are invaluable to our residents, especially those in memory care who struggle with going out to see community doctors."

Both residential and health services are spread across the 38-acre campus in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. Skilled nursing care is through their Wasserman and Smith-Kogod Residences, with the Slavin Post-Acute Care Center at the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington; independent living at Revitz House and Ring House; assisted living at Landow House; memory care at Cohen-Rosen House and geriatric primary care at Hirsh Health Center. Also headquartered on their campus is SmithLife Home Care.

Dr. Gil-Pires' interest in helping seniors started when she was 15, growing up in Connecticut, attending high school next door to a nursing home. As part of her National Honor Society service project, she volunteered in the recreation department at that nursing home. And one year later, they offered her a summer job. "I developed my passion for making a difference in the lives of seniors, and I wanted to pursue a career that would help me support that dream."

In her present role, Gil-Pires oversees all clinical and administrative aspects of the senior living community's medical services. She also serves as site director for the National Institutes of Health Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship program at CESLC, as well as site director for the Conway School of Nursing advanced nurse program at the Catholic University of America.

Board-certified in internal medicine, geriatric medicine and hospice and palliative care, Gil-Pires earned her medical degree from St. George's University School of Medicine and completed her residency at the University of Maryland Medical System in Baltimore. Before joining CESLC, she served as chief of geriatrics and palliative care at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford, CT.

U.S. News & World Report Names Hebrew Home of Greater Washington on the Charles E. Smith Life Communities Campus the Best in Maryland

ROCKVILLE, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- Charles E. Smith Life Communities (CESLC) is proud to announce that their skilled nursing health center, the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington, has been recognized as the Best Nursing Home in Maryland for 2024 by U.S. News & World Report. This is the fifth consecutive year that the Hebrew Home has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report.

Since 2009, U.S. News' annual Best Nursing Homes ratings have assisted consumers in need of either short-term rehabilitation or long-term care for themselves or a family member.

The Hebrew Home of Greater Washington earned its U.S. News Best Nursing Home status by achieving a rating of "High Performing," the highest possible rating, for Long-Term Care. U.S. News gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to those that satisfy U.S. News' assessment of consistent performance in quality measures.

"We are honored to be recognized and I applaud all associates at CESLC for their tireless dedication to delivering on our care promise. In addition to CESLC's numerous care providers, our long-term care team also includes a full-time medical director along with five full-time physicians dedicated to delivering award-winning quality and person-centered care and promoting the dignity of others," said Brenda Rice, vice president of operations at CESLC.

For the 2024 edition, U.S. News rated more than 15,000 nursing homes on patient and resident outcomes, such as infection rates; staffing levels; potentially inappropriate reliance on antipsychotic drugs; health inspection results and other indicators of quality.

"U.S. News' Best Nursing Homes ratings give patients, senior residents, their families and caregivers an objective assessment of quality, to help them choose the facility that best fits their individual needs," said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. "Nursing homes that have earned the recognition of U.S. News have a track record of achieving better outcomes for patients and residents, and maximizing the amount of care they receive from nurses and other staff."

To calculate the Best Nursing Homes ratings, U.S. News evaluated each nursing home's performance using a variety of quality measures obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The U.S. News methodology factors data such as resident care, safety and outcomes. Both short- and long-term ratings include data on nurse staffing, use of antipsychotic drugs and success in preventing ER and hospital visits. The long-term care rating also includes measures of whether a home changed ownership and how well they were staffed on weekends.

U.S. News and World Report recognized the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington in the categories of Best Nursing Home for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care for 2022-2023 and 2020-2021, and for short-term care additionally in 2021-2022 and 2019-2020.

She is relocating to Jupiter, Fla., to open the group's first clinic in the Palm Beach region.

"I love Jupiter," said Dr. Nemeroff. "I grew up in the area, so I know firsthand that it's a beautiful community filled with some of the best people."

Cosmetic Dermatology Practice Opens State-of-the-Art Facility in Northern Kentucky.

FLORENCE, Ky. /ScoopCloud/ -- Derm Aesthetics of Northern Kentucky, a cosmetic dermatology practice, just cut the ribbon on its state-of-the art facility aimed at serving the people of Northern Kentucky and the Greater Cincinnati area. The practice offers the latest, most advanced non- to minimally invasive aesthetic treatments available.

This new facility, located at 8275 Ewing Blvd in Florence, is the brainchild of board-certified dermatologist and aesthetic physician Susan Bushelman, M.D., F.A.A.D. She is proud to be a long-time partner of Dermatology Associates of Northern KY, recently named Best Dermatology Practice in Northern KY. Derm Aesthetics extends this same high standard to an expanded menu of cosmetic services.

Throughout her career of treating patients for a myriad of medical dermatological needs, Dr. Bushelman began to realize that there was a growing need for more professional cosmetic treatment options such as neurotoxin injections, laser treatments, and other non-surgical options to address the visible signs of aging and other skin concerns. As demand for these services increased, Dr. Bushelman developed a dream of opening her own practice to meet that demand.

"We realized we could make this bigger and serve patients better, but we needed more space to do it," Dr. Bushelman explained. "I wanted to provide a clinical cosmetic dermatology space to serve my growing number of aesthetics patients. When I came across the amazing space on Ewing Blvd, I knew it was the perfect place to house that dream."

Dr. Bushelman says she's very excited to provide treatments that help boost confidence and improve quality of lives overall, but she wants people to realize that, in most cases, there's no one-and-done solution to address a patient's concerns.

"I like to explain to my patients that aesthetics is a journey. There's not just one thing that we're going to do that's going to give you immediate optimal results," she said. "It's an ongoing process. That process and journey begins at Derm Aesthetics."

Dr. Bushelman went on to say she's still proudly affiliated with Dermatology Associates for the more medical side of her practice but providing more options for popular medical aesthetic treatments is something she specifically wanted for the people of this area.

"Whether it's wrinkle reducers, dermal fillers, chemical peels, laser skin-resurfacing, or any of the other beautiful options we have available, I want to help you choose what best aligns with your individual goals of looking years younger, or even just a bit more refreshed," she said.

Susan Bushelman M.D., F.A.A.D., is board-certified in Dermatology and also completed a residency in Internal Medicine. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, a member of American Society of Dermatological Surgery and the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery. She is a member of the American Medical Association, Kentucky Medical Association as well as Past President and long-time Board Member of the Northern KY Medical Society and Northern KY Foundation.

For more information on her cosmetic dermatology practice and its treatment options, call (859) 363-5394 or visit https://dermaestheticsnky.com/.

LA GRANGE, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- LTC News, a premier online destination for news and information on aging, caregiving, health, long-term care and retirement planning, announces the launch of an extensive online long-term care directory.

This new resource connects individuals and families to a host of quality long-term care providers across the country. The initial directory will include more than 75,000 listings spanning a wide range of care options. There are plans for directory expansion in the months ahead.

Users can explore listings for:

* Home Care Providers

* Adult Day Care Centers

* Assisted Living Facilities

* Memory Care Facilities

* Rehabilitation Centers

* Nursing Homes

* Group Homes

* Hospice Care Organizations

* Occupational Health Care Centers

"The LTC News caregiver directory bridges a significant gap and offers a comprehensive tool for families in search of the best care solutions," Matt McCann, president and CEO, LTC News, says.

This user-friendly directory allows people to conduct searches filtered by care type, distance and amenities. Unlike other platforms that might be restricted to specific care providers or require payment for access, LTC News provides a reliable, broad and inclusive tool for finding quality care options for free.

"There's a pressing demand for such a comprehensive service and LTC News has a solid reputation for providing resources to those seeking quality care solutions or help with planning for aging," McCann says.

As the aging population grows, so does the need for assistance with daily living activities and specialized care for conditions such as dementia. The LTC News directory serves as a crucial resource in these challenging times. It helps families search for caregiving support and facilities while also offering tools and resources to plan for the costs and challenges associated with aging.

The complete directory is accessible here: https://www.ltcnews.com/care.

Additionally, caregiver providers and facilities are invited to claim and enhance their listings at no cost. Additional enhancements can be added for a modest fee. Marketing and advertising options are available too.

McCann adds, "Securing access to quality care is vital for enhancing the quality of life for our aging population, whether it's for aging parents or for future personal needs. This directory is a significant step towards that goal."

LTC News has also combined efforts with Amada Senior Care, a leading in-home health care agency with locations throughout the country, to help individuals navigate long-term care insurance policies and claims. There is no cost or obligation for the service. Amada also assists with developing care plans and finding in-home care solutions.

Finally, the LTC News Cost of Care Calculator is an ideal tool that can help people to find the median cost of various long-term care services throughout the United States. It's also a good tool to use when designing a long-term care insurance policy.

Dr. Tiffany Dudley and Spodak Dental Group Offer Complimentary Telemedicine TMJ Consultations

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dr. Tiffany Dudley and the Spodak Dental Group team are now offering free TMJ phone and virtual consultations with a goal to help patients suffering from migraine and chronic headaches find relief. It is estimated that roughly 10 million people in the United States suffer from at least one TMJ disorder.

"It's important to offer this resource to our community members who are experiencing jaw, head and neck pain, as well as those who are suffering from migraines," said Dr. Dudley. "Because there are different types of TMJ disorders, it's crucial to speak with a medical professional who can properly diagnose the cause of the pain and then recommend necessary treatment to get the patient out of pain today, and in the future."

The temporomandibular joint is a hinge that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull, which are in front of each ear. This joint lets you move your jaw up and down and side to side so you can talk, chew and yawn. Problems with your jaw and the muscles in your face that control it are known as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ), and can cause pain and tenderness in the jaw joints and surrounding muscles and ligaments.

Symptoms of TMJ can include pain or tenderness in your face, jaw joint area, neck and shoulders, and in or around the ear when you chew, speak or open your mouth wide; jaws that get "stuck" or "lock" in the open or closed position; clicking, popping or grating sounds in the jaw joint when you open or close your mouth or chew; a tired feeling in your face: trouble chewing or a sudden uncomfortable bite, as if the upper and lower teeth are not fitting together properly; and swelling on the side of your face where you're experiencing pain.

TMJ can be caused by teeth grinding, jaw injuries, arthritis, and every day wear and tear. The pain and discomfort can be temporary, or can last many years. Women experience TMJ pain more often than men, and it's most common among people between 20 and 40 years old. TMJ treatment varies from person to person and may include medication, physical therapy, custom mouth guards and jaw surgery.

Free telemedicine TMJ consultation appointments are available Monday through Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and are held over the phone or virtually for 30 minutes. Current and future patients can schedule their consultation by calling/texting (561) 303-2413 or emailing inform@spodakdental.com.

Modern Foot & Ankle Welcomes New Podiatrist in Lake Mary, Casselberry

LAKE MARY, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Modern Foot & Ankle, Florida's leading provider of podiatric care, proudly welcomes foot and ankle surgeon Kristina Sikar, DPM, to the team.

Starting Monday, Dr. Sikar will begin seeing patients at the group's Lake Mary and Casselberry offices. She is replacing Dr. Tamara Nemeroff, who will be moving to Jupiter to open Modern Foot & Ankle's first clinic in South Florida. The new office is slated to open next month.

Dr. Nemeroff's former clinics are in good hands. The talented Dr. Sikar brings her knowledge, experience, and holistic approach to the Orlando suburbs, delivering high-quality care to her new patient base.

"What excites me about serving this community is the genuine sense of unity and the warm, welcoming nature of its residents," she said. "Being part of a place where people support and value each other fosters a strong sense of purpose and fulfillment in my role as a healthcare provider."

Dr. Sikar received extensive training during her surgical residency at Harvard Medical School and while in private practice in Palm Beach. She is skilled in all aspects of foot and ankle healthcare with a special interest in cosmetic foot surgery, wound care, sports medicine, diabetic foot care, and prevention of diabetes-related complications in the lower extremities.

"I approach patient care with compassion and empathy, understanding that even minor foot and ankle issues can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life," explained Dr. Sikar. "Throughout my career, I've acquired a profound understanding that no two patients are the same, no two medical problems are identical, and everyone brings unique social circumstances into their healthcare journey.

"This comprehensive knowledge allows me to provide essential support while tailoring each treatment to address not only patients' medical needs but also their unique individuality and specific social factors," she continued.

The opportunity to serve a diverse population was a draw for Dr. Sikar. Yet what she finds most appealing about Modern Foot & Ankle is its healthcare approach, which she says "embraces the modern advancements in healthcare while keeping the patient at the center of every decision."

"This approach not only ensures that patients receive the most current and effective treatments but also fosters a sense of trust and engagement by providing readily available assistance tailored to each individual's needs," she said.

Dr. Sikar offers evening availability at the Casselberry location to further accommodate her patients. To schedule an appointment with her, visit book.mfahealth.com or call 1-844-MODERN9.

Modern Foot & Ankle Celebrates Grand Reopening of Clinic, Welcomes New Podiatrist

ORLANDO, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Following extensive renovations, Central Florida podiatric group Modern Foot & Ankle is set to reopen its Orlando clinic next week-and with a new podiatrist to boot.

Located in the Kirkman area at 5690 Windhover Drive, the office recently underwent a two-month overhaul to modernize the space. The updates include new countertops and cabinetry and an enlarged X-ray alcove.

Taking over the clinic's reins is Jalpen Patel, DPM, a longtime Orlando-area practitioner.

"I have practiced in Orlando for the past six years, and I am excited to continue serving the community I have been a part of," said Dr. Patel. "My new clinic in Kirkman is centrally located and close to popular tourist destinations, which makes it easy for patients to find and access the care they need."

Dr. Patel is skilled in all aspects of foot and ankle care with a special interest in minimally-invasive procedures, trauma, diabetic limb salvage and wound care, and bunion and hammertoe correction. Yet he believes his strongest asset is his patient-centered focus.

"For me, empathy and strong communication skills are two of the most important qualities a physician possesses," explained Dr. Patel. "Empathy allows me to understand my patients' experiences, emotions, and concerns on a deeper level, which is essential for creating an environment where patients feel comfortable and trust my treatment plan.

"Communication skills are equally vital," he continued, "as they enable me to effectively convey complex medical information in a way that is easy to understand."

After completing his education and surgical residency in New Jersey and New York, Dr. Patel moved to Florida for the sunshine and population diversity. He decided to join Modern Foot & Ankle because he believes the group's core values and mission create a strong foundation for delivering comprehensive and personalized care.

"This practice allows me to provide the highest level of care with the help of the advanced technology utilized in the office," he said. "I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, including the group's involvement in continuous learning, and I hope to contribute to its success."

To schedule an appointment with Dr. Patel, visit book.mfahealth.com or call 1-844-MODERN9.

Silicon Valley High School Senior Works to Improve Cystic Fibrosis Research through AI

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Manasvi Pinnaka is a senior at BASIS Independent Silicon Valley in San Jose, CA. She's also the founder and CEO of Nysha.ai, a nationally-recognized nonprofit organization committed to raising awareness for cystic fibrosis.

For the past few years, Pinnaka has worked on numerous projects at the intersection of AI/ML and healthcare, including the detection of disease severity in cystic fibrosis patients using the lung microbiome. Ultimately, with Nysha.ai, she enjoys sharing her passion for biotechnology research while working to improve the standard of care for those with cystic fibrosis.

Pinnaka's goals are to create awareness about this disease in all races and ethnicities while empowering and educating students to explore the world of AI research to advance the finding of a cure for the disease. She's committed to fostering a passion for technology and innovation among young minds.

The nonprofit's advisory board includes Dr. Carlos Milla, professor at Stanford University; Dr. Beate Illek, professor at UCSF; and Dr. Jonathan Widdicombe, emeritus professor at UC Davis. Since its founding, Nysha has organized various research projects, including AI research and literature reviews, relating to cystic fibrosis and its complications with ongoing support from this board and from medical/engineering students. It's also offered more than $200,000 worth of in-kind mentorship services.

"Our volunteers are at the heart of all we do and we're committed to expanding nationally and internationally," Pinnaka says. "We're creating new chapters and working to grow every day."

At Nysha.ai, volunteers have the opportunity to organize presentations at various venues in their communities to raise awareness for cystic fibrosis. These presentations have reached more than 52,000 community members and have raised more than $27,000.

Other initiatives include partnerships with libraries across the world to distribute information about cystic fibrosis to visiting children and their families.

"Our volunteers have also made it possible to bring awareness to schools in their area and some have even started their own clubs that focus on awareness for rare diseases like cystic fibrosis," Pinnaka explains. "It's an exciting time."

Most recently, Pinnaka led Nysha's volunteers in cultivating the next generation of AI technologists, innovators and leaders at a one-day conference - the Youth AI Summit at Capital One Hall. More than 300 high school students, mostly from underrepresented backgrounds, attended and had unique opportunities to engage with AI experts from various fields. There was even a chance to enter into an AI Ideathon pitch competition.

The summit included notable speakers such as Christos Makridis, an economic advisor of the White House; Steven Wellner, associate judge superior court of the District of Columbia; and Dominic Delmolino, vice president of Amazon Web Services. Nysha.ai also delivered speakers such as Dr. Tushar Desai, a professor at Stanford University; and Dr. Steven Jonas, an associate professor at UCLA, to talk about the latest advancements in cystic fibrosis research.

"My primary goals are to encourage testing for cystic fibrosis in underdiagnosed communities, to encourage STEM education among today's youth and to ultimately help to further research projects focused on finding a cure for the disease," Pinnaka says. "To do this, we need to continue to grow our volunteer base."

Grace Gardens Dedication Ceremony at Town & Country Celebrates Two Years of Premier Memory Care in Santa Ana

SANTA ANA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Town & Country Life Plan Community celebrated the two-year anniversary of Grace Gardens Memory Care with a Dedication Ceremony on September 16. Dr. John Stumbo, the president of The Christian and Missionary Alliance, presided over the dedication, which was attended by city officials, business partners, residents, and their families.

"Grace Gardens Memory Care is a ministry that we are dedicating to God-we are setting it aside for Him and His purposes," said Dr. Stumbo. "Grace Gardens Memory Care is a community whose sole purpose is to care for those who cannot care for themselves."

"Our community was honored with the dedication, and we would like to thank Dr. John Stumbo and The Christian and Missionary Alliance, who have provided invaluable support over the years," said Town & Country CEO Rob Goerzen. "Town & Country offers a caring Christian environment designed to meet each resident's physical, social and spiritual needs at all care levels. We are proud to celebrate Grace Gardens and have it recognized as a leading memory care community in Orange County."

Grace Gardens opened in 2021 on the Town & Country campus and offers residency for approximately 70 residents with Alzheimer's and dementia in four distinct neighborhoods. The beautiful and innovative community provides ample access to the outdoors with natural surroundings, sunlight, and plenty of secure, open space to move around to promote physical, mental and social health.

Additional amenities include a bistro, a sun deck terrace, quiet rooms, a beauty salon, activity rooms, lounges and a media room. Families and residents can also have meals onsite at Rob's Garden Cafe. Grace Gardens offers 24x7 nursing staff and concierge doctor's office, medical appointment transportation and chef-crafted meals. Therapies include art, music, exercise and horticulture.

Town & Country offers a continuum of care that also includes independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing. The Medicare rated, 5-star skilled nursing center is convenient for all residents and is especially helpful should the need arise for memory care residents.

Couples who have different care needs live on our campus. Most couples have the option to continue to live together, while others may choose to live in different areas of the community knowing that they can easily visit each other and spend quality time together each day.

Town & Country is a non-profit organization, which means they put money back into the community. A non-profit organization is different than a for-profit community that needs to pay back investors.

Town & Country is a charitable 501(c)(3) nonprofit Christian retirement community in the heart of Orange County. Built in 1975, Town & Country was brought to life with the vision of showing God's love through the caring and serving of their residents. The 8-acre campus is full of outdoor courtyards, gardens and fountains with every residential apartment having a private patio. Town & Country offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and short-term rehab care.

Soberlink Launches ‘Addiction Care is Healthcare’ Campaign in Honor of National Recovery Month

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- In recognition of National Recovery Month this September, Soberlink, the 'Gold Standard' in alcohol monitoring, is proud to announce the launch of its 'Addiction Care is Healthcare' campaign. The initiative seeks to normalize addiction care and firmly establish its place within the larger umbrella of holistic healthcare.

"Soberlink celebrates National Recovery Month by showcasing the parallelism between healthcare and addiction care," reads the campaign's landing page. The company's mission is to break barriers, shift paradigms, and erase stigmas associated with alcohol monitoring and addiction care.

Joshua Cagney, M.A., an Addiction Recovery Professional, emphasized the importance of Soberlink's technology in the recovery journey. "External structures are critical for clients in early recovery from Alcohol Use Disorder. I'm not sure that I've found a better tool to create external structure outside of the treatment environment than Soberlink," said Cagney.

Recent studies underscore the urgency of the campaign's message. Research supported by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) reveals that nearly one-third of adults in the U.S. have experienced Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) at some point in their lives. Alarmingly, only about 20 percent of them seek AUD treatment.

Soberlink's state-of-the-art design and technology provide a modern, discreet user experience, rewriting narratives on alcohol monitoring. "Much like tools in traditional healthcare, such as glucose monitors for diabetes, Soberlink plays a pivotal role in addiction care by fostering connectivity, accountability, and progress tracking," the company stated.

The campaign's landing page, which can be found at https://www.soberlink.com/addiction-care-is-healthcare, offers more insights and resources on the importance of addiction care in the broader healthcare landscape.

For media inquiries or further information about the 'Addiction Care is Healthcare' campaign, please contact Thy-An Tran, Soberlink's Advertising & Marketing Director, at ttran@soberlink.com.

About Soberlink:

Since 2011, Soberlink has linked sobriety with technology to create the most comprehensive remote alcohol monitoring system. Recognized as the 'Gold Standard' in alcohol monitoring by healthcare professionals and clients alike, Soberlink continues to innovate and lead the industry in ensuring that addiction care is seen as an integral part of holistic healthcare.

In recognition of National Recovery Month this September, Soberlink, the 'Gold Standard' in alcohol monitoring, is proud to announce the launch of its 'Addiction Care is Healthcare' campaign.

Eye Safety and the Upcoming Solar Eclipse

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Doctors of optometry across Colorado are addressing the eye safety concerns that come with an Annular Solar Eclipse by teaming up with Eyes of Colorado and the Colorado Optometric Association (COA) throughout September 2023.

On October 14, most of Colorado will be able to witness up to 80% of obstruction from the annular solar eclipse. This rare event is when the Moon does not completely cover the Sun and what looks like a dark disc with a bright reddish-orange ring around it will appear. Looking at the sun without proper eye protection can cause eye injury.

There are many safe ways to view a solar eclipse, but if there are any doubts or concerns be sure to consult an optometrist near you to help determine the best options for viewing.

WAYS TO SAFELY VIEW THE SOLAR ECLIPSE ARE:

* Solar eclipse glasses -- Use expert-approved solar "eclipse glasses" to view a solar eclipse safely and without damaging your eyes. Eye protection must be worn the entire time while watching a solar eclipse.

* Pinhole projection -- This is the safest and most inexpensive way to watch a solar eclipse.

* Welder's glass -- Use number 14 welder's glass which can be found at a local welder's supply or home improvement store. Welder's glass will reduce the harmful rays that are emitted during the eclipse.

* Mylar filters -- Aluminized mylar plastic sheets are available as eclipse vision glasses or can be cut and made into a viewing box. Do not use it if there are any scratches or damage to the sheet.

* Additional options -- Viewing the solar eclipse on TV or at a planetarium are always great options.

With any of these methods, make sure that the products are not damaged, scratched or broken to ensure maximum eye protection.

To avoid unnecessary vision damage during the solar eclipse, do not use the following devices to view the upcoming natural phenomenon.

Do NOT use:

* Smartphone

* Camera viewfinder

* Unsafe filters

Unless specifically designed for viewing a solar eclipse, no filter is safe to use with any optical device (telescopes, binoculars, etc.). These options can cause an individual to accidentally look at the sun, damaging their eyes and also damaging the tool being used.

Solar eclipses are an exciting and rare event for most people to witness but be sure that you are properly prepared and protected when the time comes. Viewing must be done with caution to protect one's eyes from eclipse blindness", says Dr. Scott Middlemist, Board President for the Colorado Optometric Association.

The Colorado Optometric Association (COA) is the professional organization of optometrists in Colorado. Over 600 Colorado Doctors of Optometry are voluntary members of the Association. COA has also launched a public health campaign called Eyes of Colorado ( https://eyesofcolorado.org/ ).

Since 1892, the COA has assisted its members in providing the highest standard of professional care to their patients by sponsoring continuing education programs for doctors, advocating in local and state governments for programs and laws that represent patients' best interests, and providing information for the public.
