She joined Cooper & Walinski, which in 2007 became the largest majority women-owned firm in the country, became a partner within five years, and then was elected to the firm's Board of Directors.

A 20 Under 40 Award recipient, recognizing distinguished individuals in the community, Ms. Wilson has advocated on behalf of individuals with disabilities to obtain reasonable accommodations, and sought Civil Protective Orders pro bono for victims of domestic violence.

The Power of Sound to Heal: #1 hit book spreads awareness about how voice and sound therapy can improve health and well-being

MONTREAL, Quebec /ScoopCloud/ -- Sound Therapy expert Dr. Shelley Snow is launching her new book, "The Power of Sound to Heal" (IBSN 978-0228876915; June, 2022); the book hit #1 for 3 days in a row on Amazon's KDP charts. It introduces new audiences to the emerging fields of Sound Therapy and Sound Healing. "The Power of Sound to Heal" contains easy-to-learn tools that use sound to promote mental and physical health.

These tools are important because of the global mental health crisis that is affecting millions of people. The immediate and pronounced calming effects of sound on the mind are a key benefit available to people of all ages.

Very few people understand that their voice can be used to create sounds that can improve their mental and physical health, regardless of the quality of their voice. The book is not about singing, but rather about sounding one's way to better health and well-being. There are no notes or keys in this approach and making sounds in this way is a simple extension of breathing.

Easy-to-follow exercises with accompanying audio tracks will guide the reader to immediately experience the benefits of sound-based techniques for mind-body health. Listening to these sounds is also beneficial.

As part of a team of researchers from McGill University and Concordia University, Dr. Snow engaged in scientific research on sound using voice, which was conducted at the prestigious International Laboratory for Music, Sound, and Brain Research (BRAMS). This research forms the basis of many exercises shared in her book. Dr. Snow shares her journey with sound, along with chapters on trauma and sound, working with singing bowls, mindfulness and sound, mantras, and mental health - all steps along the path of this fascinating and rich journey into the world of healing sounds.

Established Knoxville ophthalmology practice expands its services with a new doctor

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor & Haun, a leading eye care provider in East Tennessee, recently expanded its team of skilled medical professionals with the addition of General Ophthalmologist Andrew Johnston, M.D., to offer its growing patient base even more options for top-rate eye care.

Johnston will work closely with the practice's 17 Ophthalmologists and Optometrists to provide a true comprehensive level of eye care that seamlessly aligns with the collective goal of the practice. From disease diagnosis, treatment, and management, Johnston does it all utilizing both surgical and nonsurgical technology. Aside from the fulfillment of monitoring, preserving, and improving the vision of his patients, Johnston is particularly excited about the opportunity to actively collaborate with other top minds in the field to provide next-level care using all the tools at their disposal.

"We've got our own surgery center, our own LASIK(r) center, a medical retina specialist, two cornea specialists, and so much more," Johnston said. "There is such camaraderie between the doctors. It really is everything that you could want in a practice. I really want to be a team player and do whatever I can to help both my patients and the practice. Those are the things that I really care about."

With the recent population growth in the Knoxville area, Practice Managing Partner and Ophthalmologist Kirk Haun, M.D., F.A.C.S., says Johnston's joining the team is further proof of the practice's dedication to meeting an increased demand for quality, neighborhood eye care.

"As more people are moving to East Tennessee, obviously the need for more medical services goes up, too," said Haun. "Dr. Johnston brings more knowledge and skill to the table in treating a wide range of eye conditions and diseases, and we never want to miss a beat in meeting our patients' needs. We couldn't be more pleased to have him join our team."

Dr. Johnston completed medical school at UT Health Science Center in Memphis followed by an internship at UT Hospital in Knoxville. He then went back to Memphis to complete his residency at the Hamilton Eye Institute.

Though he admits he's had a bit of a long educational journey that eventually led him to Ophthalmology, Johnston is quick to point out that so many things just seemed to click along the way and solidify that it is indeed the field he's meant to be in.

"It's hard to beat," he said. "Nothing came close to it really. I just realized Ophthalmology was the best fit for me."

Dr. Johnston will split his time between several locations of the practice to serve as many East Tennesseans as he can. To schedule an appointment, call 865-584-0905.

We Inspect Acquires Certified Mold Inspections and The Mold Guy: Customers Benefit

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- We Inspect, LLC, a global mold inspection, consulting and health technology company, recently acquired Certified Mold Inspections and The Mold Guy. Its acquisitional goal is to unify these individually-owned family businesses under one name and to better serve the community as a whole.

We Inspect was founded in 2018 by Corey Levy and Brian Karr; Certified Mold Inspections was founded by Steve Levy in 2004; and The Mold Guy was established by Mark Levy in 2005. As individual companies, the Levy family serviced different territories and were collectively known as the number one mold and biotoxin resource for medical practitioners across the country.

"These acquisitions have provided the company with the expertise and human capital needed to expand its educational and consulting capabilities, allowing it to fulfill its mission of empowering people everywhere with the tools and services they need to create healthy homes," Karr says.

Streamlining the family business under the one We Inspect name, will now allow it to serve significantly more mold-sensitive individuals by deploying its 42 years of experience across in-person home inspections, remote consulting and educational offerings.

Unlike other mold inspection companies that rely on antiquated inspection and testing practices which oftentimes dismiss the presence of mold contamination in homes, We Inspects' #FindProveRemove framework has been shaped by the most current scientific findings and proven by more than $20 million dollars of successful mold remediations.

"The majority of mold contamination in homes is hidden, but most mold inspection companies don't understand how to find it," Karr says. "They often rely on outdated testing methods that provide false negatives 70 percent of the time which is dangerous and gives occupants a false sense of security and perpetuates chronic illness."

Karr says that what sets them apart from other mold inspection companies is their ability to find the hidden sources of mold contamination in a home.

"Once we know where it's coming from, it can be remediated and the occupant can begin to heal in their home," he says.

Additional advantages of streamlining these businesses include free training and actionable resources for medical practitioners and their patients (bridging communication gaps), #moldfinders: RADIO podcast, scholarships, discounts for mold-affected people worldwide, DIY home screens and consulting services for anyone regardless of where they live or their financial situation.

About We Inspect, LLC:

We Inspect is a global mold inspection, consulting, and health technology company that helps mold-sensitive individuals regain their health through education and the environmental assessment and testing of their homes and buildings for mold, mycotoxins and other indoor pathogens. It has helped thousands of people across six continents to create homes that support their ability to heal from mold-related illnesses.

"We want to be a one-stop shop for all things aesthetics and wellness. Our providers that have come on have that same vision. That's how we ended up bringing everyone together, the same ambition and the same drive. Through Culture, we're bringing education, innovation, and products to Knoxville faster."

Docsnap Partners with FlexCare Digital Health to Expand Services to Members, Families, Employers, Veterans, Medicare, and Medicaid Patients

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Docsnap, the first nationwide Consumer Health Utility, supports consumers leveraging their HIPAA rights to take ownership of all their medical records. Docsnap announced today its partnership with FlexCare Digital Health to expand access to quality healthcare services for members, families, employees, veterans, Medicare, and Medicaid Patient services. This partnership allows docsnaps' members to benefit from Telemedicine & TeleDentistry virtually, 24/7/365. Docsnap and FlexCare will start their partnership immediately to begin providing digital health access to all docsnap members and enterprise customers.

"Docsnap is excited to welcome FlexCare Digital Health to our partnership family, filling a vital need for our members. As the founder of docsnap and the father of a daughter with a chronic health issue, having access to virtual care visits when it's needed and not when you are told you can have it is critical for the reduction of pain and suffering, stress and anxiety, and the high cost of avoidable urgent care and emergency room visits," said founder Dr. Anthony Mari.

According to UnitedHealth Group research, two-thirds of hospital ED visits annually by individuals in the United States - 18 million out of 27 million - are avoidable. By docsnap and FlexCare providing access 24/7 to compensate for the nation's shortage of Primary Care providers, docsnap provides members "peace-of-mind," knowing they have access to advice about urgent and emergent care when they need it!

"FlexCare is excited to partner with docsnap in providing virtual care services for their Consumer Health Utility," said Principal Lee Shoemake. "We view this as a tremendous opportunity to provide a valuable benefit to millions of docsnap members."

A virtual consult by a licensed physician or dentist from the comfort and convenience of a computer or mobile device can help members get the care they need when they need it.

FlexCare is committed to fulfilling this important member benefit, which will not only assist with providing on demand care, but it will also close the gap of availability to digital health providers.

About FlexCare

FlexCare Digital Health is a leading provider of online and on-demand healthcare delivery services to private and public employers, associations, brokers, school systems, and more.

Veteran Podiatrist Joins Modern Foot & Ankle, Serves Celebration, Kissimmee

KISSIMMEE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- For the past twenty years, Orlandoans in need of foot and ankle reconstruction, heel pain treatment, or help with a badly stubbed toe have heard the same refrain: Go see Dr. Talbert. Now the venerable doctor has joined Modern Foot & Ankle and is excited to serve new, growing communities in the area.

Board-certified podiatric surgeon Todd C. Talbert, DPM, came aboard the Central Florida healthcare group earlier this month. He practices primarily in the Celebration, Fla., clinic while offering evening availability at the group's brand-new location in Kissimmee, Fla.

"I was drawn toward Modern Foot & Ankle due to their up-to-date techniques, ideas, and equipment," said Dr. Talbert. "Their doctors, staff, and offices are vibrant with cutting-edge technology."

Specializing in sports medicine, trauma and fracture surgery and care, and reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, Dr. Talbert has also developed a Center of Distinction for Lapiplasty 3D bunionectomy in Orlando. He's been the recipient of Orlando Family Magazine's Top Physician award three times, including in 2022, for going above and beyond to move medicine, patient care, and outcomes forward, according to the magazine's website.

"I have developed myself into one of the most well-renowned podiatrists in the city," said Dr. Talbert. "I am best known for my outstanding bedside manner and making my patients feel comfortable in understanding their diagnoses and treatments."

Not only is he a veteran in his field-he's also a veteran. Dr. Talbert's storied career in medicine started when he served in the United State Air Force as a paramedic. He then put himself through college working as a surgical technician and podiatric medical assistant.

But his journey began even before that.

"When I was five years old, I fell out of a tree and broke my arm," he explained. "While I was getting the cast put on me, I remember telling my mother that one day I would become a doctor."

Dr. Talbert's time at the podiatric clinic as a young adult inspired him to become a podiatrist, and he later gained acceptance into the Temple Univeristy School of Podiatric Medicine in Philadelphia.

"After medical school, I received extensive training in traumatology, foot and ankle reconstruction, wound care and limb salvage, and elective foot and ankle surgery through AdventHealth East Orlando," he stated. "Since then, I have continued to give back to my profession by training surgical residents on a weekly basis."

Although Dr. Talbert says he misses his patient base in Oviedo, Fla., and Orlando, he is enthusiastic about his relocation to Celebration.

"I fondly remember Celebration being developed by Disney World under the concepts of EPCOT and have come to love its gorgeous architecture, focus on technology, sense of community, and, of course, annual snowfall!" he said. "I'm excited to be a new part of this spectacular and unique city where I will bring my expertise and one-on-one care and continue to treat every new patient like a member of my familiy."

About Modern Foot & Ankle(r)

Through Big-City Technology. Small-Town Care.(r) Modern Foot & Ankle is reshaping the patient experience and curating a progressive model for podiatric healthcare. Our physicians provide comprehensive medical and surgical solutions for foot and ankle conditions in clinics across Central Florida.

Tampa Bay Foot And Ankle Provider Promotes Conservative Options

LARGO, Fla /ScoopCloud/ -- A new podiatrist is making waves at Modern Foot & Ankle. Patrick Derby, DPM, joined the Central Florida podiatric group recently, invigorating the Tampa, Westchase, and Largo clinics with his surgical dexterity, expansive knowledge of conservative therapies-and love of surfing.

"Tampa Bay is fantastic," enthused Dr. Derby. "There is no shortage of activities to participate in, it's near the water - which is a big pull for me as a Florida native-and the opportunities to provide healthcare are abundant and exciting."

He added that the Tampa Bay community is friendly and diverse, making it an inviting area to work in as a provider.

"My goal is to be a resource for my patients, to educate them to prevent as much pathology as possible while building relationships and trust within the community," said Dr. Derby. "I always strive to approach pathology conservatively before considering surgical interventions whenever possible."

Before joining Modern Foot & Ankle, Dr. Derby completed his surgical residency in Michigan, where he was trained in treating a range of pathologies at varying degrees of severity. He focused on reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, diabetic wound care, and minimally-invasive bunion correction.

"My approach as a physician aligns with the philosophy and approach of the practice: patient-focused and centering on conservative treatment whenever possible before considering surgical options," said Dr. Derby. "The technology-based approach also streamlines patient care and affords many resources which really appeals to me as a physician."

Modern Foot & Ankle clinics feature advanced in-house diagnostic equipment, easy online booking and check-in, and evening hours. There are currently thirteen locations within Orlando and Tampa, making it a convenient choice for many of those suffering from foot and ankle conditions.

"I think what stands out about patient care at Modern Foot & Ankle is, first and foremost, the attention and care that is given to each and every patient," said Dr. Derby. "That, combined with the ease in which appointments can be booked or rescheduled as well as a host of resources available to patients, makes it a unique and positive experience overall for patients."

Since September, Dr. Derby has been busy ingratiating himself with the community and his patient base. Through Modern Foot & Ankle, he continues to take on new challenges daily.

"One of the things that keeps me excited in podiatry is the variability day to day," he explained. "Whether it's routine office work, trauma, inpatient medicine, surgery, or other aspects of the profession, every day is fresh and exhilarating."

Modern Foot & Ankle Launches Clinics In Orlando, Kissimmee

ORLANDO, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new podiatric clinic by Modern Foot & Ankle opens today in Kissimmee-the group's thirteenth clinic in Central Florida. Today also marks two months since the opening of the Kirkman office. Located at 5690 Windhover Dr. in Orlando, this clinic serves the Kirkman, Florida Center, Dr. Phillips, and Universal areas.

Felipe Peterson, DPM, a Brazilian native who comes to Modern Foot & Ankle from private practice in St. Petersburg, Fla., is treating patients at both locations. He was excited to make the move to Orlando, which he refers to as "one of the most multiethnical and transient cities in the world."

"I love how full of life and zest the area is," Dr. Peterson said. "The many attractions and the energy of the city makes people want to live their best lives."

Dr. Peterson says he is a "family man at heart" and enjoys the prospect of working in a culturally-diverse community geared toward families.

"Having the opportunity to serve families in need of the best foot and ankle care is my passion and lifelong dream," he explained. "Kissimmee is diverse and particularly full of Hispanic neighborhoods. As a Latino man who grew up in a similar kind of neighborhood, being able to maintain ties to my culture while providing care for a patient population I truly understand and appreciate is what drew me here."

Conveniently located at 3070 Loopdale Ln., Dr. Peterson is joined by Todd Talbert, DPM, in seeing patients at the Kissimmee clinic. Dr. Peterson also practices at a third Modern Foot & Ankle location in Celebration, Fla.

Modern Foot & Ankle is known for curating a progressive model for podiatric healthcare, using medical expertise, compassion, and technology as the foundation for care.

"I wanted to join Modern Foot & Ankle because our vision for patient care is in direct alignment," said Dr. Peterson. "My ultimate goal is to provide the absolute highest level of patient care without compromise, and Modern Foot & Ankle provides all the necessary resources to make that happen."

Dr. Peterson is a board-certified physician specializing in sports medicine, elective surgery, diabetic limb salvage, and gout management. He chose to pursue podiatry because it is "extremely hands-on and rewarding," as he is frequently able to offer immediate relief to patients.

"I am committed to providing unparalleled and uncompromised care, medically and surgically, for the foot and ankle," Dr. Peterson added. "I treat patients with the utmost care and with their overall well-being in mind."

Podiatric Surgeon Specializing In Pediatrics Comes To Lake Mary, Casselberry

CASSELBERRY, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- It's difficult for any parent to watch their child get sidelined by foot and ankle pain. Worse yet-finding a podiatrist who specializes in pediatric cases. But for those who live in Lake Mary and Casselberry, accessing a qualified provider is no longer an issue. Fellowship-trained podiatric surgeon Shruti Dosi, DPM, recently joined Modern Foot & Ankle, a Central Florida podiatric group, bringing her exceptional skills in pediatrics and reconstructive surgery to the Orlando area.

"My staff and I work as a team to create a unique experience that is comforting and innovative," said Dr. Dosi. "Patients are encouraged to take a leading role in their treatment and recovery, and I am devoted to getting them back on their feet with minimal disruption to their lives."

Pediatric foot and ankle healthcare-and specifically, correcting pediatric deformities-is a practice that is close to her heart. Born with clubfoot, Dr. Dosi said she received excellent treatment during her childhood and is now passionate about helping children who suffer from similar conditions.

"I can empathize with my patients on a deeper level due to my personal history of undergoing multiple lower extremity surgeries from infancy to adulthood," she explained. "Being fellowship-trained in pediatric and adult reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, I am dedicated to using the latest research and advanced technology to deliver exceptional care to my patients."

To that end, Dr. Dosi added she believes in using a doctor-patient team-based approach to get patients back on their healthy lifestyle as quickly and safely as possible.

"During my fellowship, I learned to incorporate technology-based practice with evidence-based medicine to enhance the patient experience and provide a comprehensive treatment plan to the patient," she said. "Modern Foot & Ankle emphasizes a focus on patient-centric care, which resonates with me. I feel that I fit in well with the welcoming and supportive work environment the group has created."

Modern Foot & Ankle is known for curating a progressive model for podiatric care, basing treatment plans on medical expertise, compassion, and technology. Located at 2500 W. Lake Mary Blvd. in Lake Mary and 178 Wilshire Blvd. in Casselberry, Dr. Dosi's clinics offer advanced in-house equipment, extended office hours, and easy online booking and check-in.

And the linchpin for it all is the patient.

"The family-friendly environment of this community provides a reliable support system for my patients," said Dr. Dosi. "This is helpful in achieving our goal of delivering a patient-centric experience with innovative and modern solutions."

BioBuilder and K2 Scientific Bring Synthetic Biology Programs and Laboratory Equipment to High-Need High Schools Around the Country

BOSTON, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- As a world-recognized program that trains the next generation of innovators and skilled workers in synthetic biology, the BioBuilder Educational Foundation announced new work with K2 Scientific to make high quality tools and equipment for life science research widely accessible. BioBuilder has partnered with K2 Scientific, who will donate industry-grade refrigeration units to four high-need high schools participating in the BioBuilderClub this academic year.

Consistent refrigeration of laboratory reagents is essential for a wide variety of biotechnology experiments and applications. Without precise temperature control and storage, materials and supplies for life science research degrade. Yet many high school educators, especially those in under-resourced school districts, rely on limited and unreliable cold-storage units. Many teachers forgo hands-on laboratory experiments without the appropriate cold storage equipment.

Recognizing that many high schools face financial constraints that limit classroom opportunities in the field of synthetic biology, BioBuilder annually runs the BioBuilderClub program. Since its inception in 2015, more than 1850 students from demographically and geographically diverse schools in 24 states and 7 countries have participated in a total of 202 BioBuilderClubs at low or no cost to the schools themselves. The BioBuilderClub supports real and meaningful student research, enabling high school students to take their ideas from concept to prototype to publication.

On November 9, 2022, staff and leadership from K2 Scientific and BioBuilder identified the first of four BioBuilderClubs to receive a freezer this academic year. The first recipient is the BioBuilderClub team from the Manhattan Comprehensive Night and Day High School (MCNDHS), a public school in New York City that serves students in grades 10-12.

Alfred Lwin, the MCNDHS BioBuilderClub lead teacher, said, "Our refrigerator is 20 years old, and sometimes we have difficulties using its freezer for cold storage. Thanks to the generous donation of a lab grade refrigerator by K2 Scientific, we will be able to use cold storage for our BioBuilder and other biotechnology labs."

Dee Jetton, COO from K2 Scientific, shared, "We could not be prouder to support this program. I am always so excited to see the great things the BioBuilder Program and its participants are accomplishing. We are thrilled to contribute to BioBuilder programs around the country. K2 Scientific is committed to equity and inclusion, so bringing medical and laboratory grade equipment to high-need schools is a perfect mission fit. It's nice for our team to learn about students' aha moments and accomplishments resulting from K2's support of young scientists in the field."

Founder and Executive Director of BioBuilder, Dr. Natalie Kuldell noted, "Our BioBuilderClubs are often the first - and sometimes the only - time high school students can engage in authentic research before they launch into college or careers. By making that research experience more accessible and more meaningful, we can effectively engage the next generation of scientific innovators and productively prepare our future citizens."

About BioBuilder:

Created by an award-winning team from MIT, BioBuilder empowers teachers and schools to better serve students and employers by elevating the skills that students are taught. Founded in 2011, BioBuilder has grown to partner with schools in almost every state and around the world. BioBuilder builds confidence in teachers to learn and apply the synthetic biology curricula, and provides laboratory kits and an openly accessible textbook that enable experiential learning.

BioBuilder also works directly with district and community leaders to identify potential roadblocks to narrow the gap between science innovation and science education - at least for biology - across the U.S., and better match the skill of our nation's workforce to the needs of the synthetic biology industry.

Native Tennessean Eric Sollenberger, M.D., expands Knoxville Ophthalmology practice as Cornea Specialist

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor & Haun, a leading eye care provider in East Tennessee, recently expanded with the addition of Ophthalmologist and Cornea Specialist Eric Sollenberger, M.D. Joining the practice, for Sollenberger, essentially means the continuation of an almost 70-year family legacy of eye care in East Tennessee.

As a Cornea Specialist, Sollenberger will work closely with the practice's 16 Ophthalmologists and Optometrists to focus on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of conditions and diseases of the cornea with both surgical and nonsurgical technology. Dr. Sollenberger is also well versed on all other eye conditions and diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and more.

"With the continued growth of our practice, we're glad to be expanding to meet the increasing demand for quality eye care in East Tennessee," said Dr. Kirk Haun. "Dr. Sollenberger offers valuable knowledge in treating a wide array of eye conditions and diseases, especially concerning the cornea. We're thrilled to have him on our team."

Dr. Sollenberger plans to introduce even more advanced vision-improving techniques to the practice, including a procedure called DSO (Descemet Stripping Only), a non-transplant cornea procedure to treat Fuch's dystrophy. Sollenberger performed the first two of these procedures ever done at Washington University in St. Louis, resulting in 20/20 vision for his patients.

Dr. Sollenberger was raised in Knoxville, the grandson of Dr. J. Ed Campbell, who founded the practice in 1952. Sollenberger's exposure to the field throughout his youth, thanks to his grandfather, his uncle Dr. Philip Campbell, and his mother Marilyn Sollenberger, Certified Ophthalmic Technician, played a crucial role in his decision to pursue a career in eye care.

But clinical rotations at University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis gave Sollenberger his first true feel of the profession. After completing his residency, Sollenberger carried out his cornea fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis, which enthralled him with the delicate procedure of cornea transplantation.

"Cornea transplants are an unbelievable surgery," Sollenberger said. "The degree of sophistication is amazing. Being able to transplant a hundredth-of-a-millimeter thick piece of tissue in 20-30 minutes and restore a patient's vision is incredible. It's such an elegant surgery."

Dr. Sollenberger is available at most locations for the practice. To schedule an appointment, call 865-584-0905.

New Animation Project Tackles Misinformation, Vaccines for Media Literacy Week

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Founded by two black doctors who tired of watching patients who looked like them die sicker and younger, Welfie is launching "Booster Troop," a fun health media literacy initiative that helps underserved children better spot misinformation. It launches October 24 for Media Literacy Week, and it includes a 7-minute animated episode in both English and Spanish, a lesson plan, and other classroom materials. Welfie provides culturally competent health and mental health education and care coordination to schools.

"Booster Troop" was made by Emmy Award-winning children's TV writers, educators, doctors, psychologists, and vetted by children, parents, teachers, school administrators, misinformation experts, psychologists, and former PBS and Sesame Workshop Executives. "Booster Troop" is free, and it features Welfie Pediatricians Dr. Nneka Edwards, MPH, who is also a Co-Founder of Welfie, and Dr. Jaime Deville, who worked on the COVID vaccine.

"Children are the most powerful agents of change in the universe," said Dr. Steven Moyo, MD and CEO and Founder of Welfie. "If we can help kids find joy and purpose in their own health, they will inspire the adults around them to do the same. But that can only happen if we help them understand how to tell accurate from inaccurate information."

The first episode of "Booster Troop" tackles the COVID vaccine and was made possible by The VaxUp Challenge, an initiative of the Innovation Studio at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Dr. Nneka Edward's segment was filmed at The Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital library in Toronto, Canada.

"Booster Troop" is currently creating a mental health program which will include self-assessments, interventionist content, health care coordination, and health fests that are culturally appropriate. Welfie was recently selected as a Google for Startups winner.

Dosaggio™ by SottoPelle® Partners with PatientNow

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dosaggio™ by SottoPelle® and PatientNow announced today that they have entered into a partnership that integrates the two companies' innovative technologies, to improve efficiencies and elevate patient care for providers offering bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

This collaboration offers medical providers a powerful and seamless integration of capabilities for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy practices.

This partnership brings together PatientNow's robust functional EHR with the advanced and powerful Dosaggio™ hormone dosing tool, enabling medical providers to expand their functional medicine practices into the bioidentical hormone therapy arena.

PatientNow is a functional, full-service EHR that offers customized and integrated scheduling, charting, billing, reporting, prescription management, and treatment plan solutions for medical practices. The PatientNow EHR offers flexibility for each provider's needs - all with fair pricing.

The Dosaggio™ bioidentical hormone pellet therapy dosing application allows medical providers to optimize their patient's hormone health through precise, individualized hormone dosing.

World Renowned Patient Safety Champion Joins CAREier Advisory Board

POTOMAC, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- CAREier, Inc., the revolutionary medical device communication company, is building an advisory board of patient safety and healthcare industry powerhouses. Its latest addition is world renowned, Peter J. Pronovost, M.D., Ph.D., F.C.C.M., a critical care physician and prolific researcher who has published more than 800 peer review publications; his scientific work has saved thousands of lives.

"We're absolutely thrilled that Dr. Pronovost has joined our advisory board," Ryan Bass, founder and CEO, CAREier says. "As a global thought leader who has influenced U.S. and global health policy, I'm confident he will help us to champion a new chapter in healthcare IT, patient safety and medical device communication."

When Bass founded CAREier, he sought to turn the world of medical device communication on its head. He didn't just want an incremental improvement to the processes used today, he wanted to change the system - and eventually the world's standards for patient level communication expectations. There's no other platform like it.

CAREier provides a framework for seamless communication across the entire medical device spectrum for an automated, immediate, and secure delivery of patient electronic device information, device recalls, standards of care reminders and more.

In 2005, Dr. Pronovost was involved in the launch of a leading solution to the medical device communication problem and since then, he says he hasn't seen any real innovation - that is - until now.

"Almost 20 years ago, I was involved in developing systems and processes related to the recalls experienced by health systems. Since then, innovation in this space has been slow and I was excited when CAREier approached me with their pioneering solution. CAREier is not an incremental improvement to today's workflows, but is a transformative approach to more efficiently and effectively manage recalls and improve safety."

About Peter J. Pronovost, M.D., Ph.D., F.C.C.M.:

Dr. Pronovost is the Chief Quality and Clinical Transformation Officer at University Hospitals. His entrepreneurial patient safety endeavors have earned him high-profile accolades - including being named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by "Time" magazine, receiving a coveted MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" in 2008.

In his current role, he fosters ideation and implementation for new protocols to eliminate defects in value to enhance quality of care; develop new frameworks for population health management for its more than 1 million patients; and manage the UH Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Network - one of the nation's largest. His primary focus is to keep people "Healthy at Home." In just 12 months, one of his concepts fueled a reduction in annual costs per patient in the UH ACO by nine percent.

He's also served as the senior vice president for Patient Safety and Quality at Johns Hopkins Medicine as well as the founder and director of the Johns Hopkins Medicine Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality.

NPA Announces Exciting DEIB Efforts During National Postdoc Appreciation Week

ROCKVILLE, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- The National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) announced two marquee programs designed to advance diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) in the postdoctoral community and beyond. During the highly successful National Postdoc Appreciation Week, the NPA shared details on both the finalists in its 2022-2023 IMPACT Fellowship Program, as well as the first NPA Race & Ethnicity Equity Summit, a free global event taking place November 17, 2022.

"Promoting diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging is not only at the heart of our strategic planning, it is one of our core values," explained Thomas P. Kimbis, J.D., executive director and chief executive officer of the NPA. "These ground-breaking activities not only help those directly engaged in the programs, but they push hard in difficult areas across the whole scientific and research communities."

The IMPACT Fellowship Program (IMPACT) was launched last year to empower postdoctoral scholars from underrepresented backgrounds to build skills, understand strengths and develop networks. Competition for program seats in the second year of the program was intense with more than fifty applicants from across the globe for only six positions.

IMPACT Fellows will interact with experts from a range of disciplines as well as learn from one another as they strategically build upon existing skills, recognize opportunities, and advance more confidently in their careers. Fellows will also use the knowledge, tools and resources they gain from the program to implement innovative activities or initiatives at their institutions that amplify the impact of the fellowship as they contribute back to home communities.

NPA IMPACT Fellows, Class of 2022-23:

* Camilo A. Duarte-Cordon, Ph.D., Columbia University

* Phyllis Kyei Mensah, Ph.D., Utah State University

* Caleb Muefong, Ph.D., Washington University in St Louis

* Kathryn Sanchez, Ph.D., University of New Mexico

* Ricardo Velasco Trujillo, Ph.D., University of Minnesota Twin Cities

* Liisa Veerus, D.Phil., Rutgers University

The first NPA Race & Ethnicity Equity Summit was created in recognition that scientists and researchers from underrepresented communities face additional challenges and barriers that are too often disregarded. Through a series of interactive online race and ethnicity discussions featuring more than twenty expert speakers from industry, academia, government, and nonprofits, the summit seeks to identify barriers - and find paths forward - in the greater postdoctoral community on the path to greater racial and ethnic equity. Hundreds of participating scientists, researchers, and academic professionals are expected to attend.

The NPA's DEIB activities are made possible through the generosity of its sponsors, including Gallagher Insurance and the University of Chicago.

Tens of Thousands of Researchers Celebrated During 13th National Postdoc Appreciation Week

ROCKVILLE, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- The National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) today kicked off the 13th annual National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW), taking place today through Friday. NPAW is the nation's largest celebration of postdoctoral scholars who serve at more than 300 institutions, acknowledging the significant contributions "postdocs" make to research, innovation and scientific discovery. This year's NPAW theme, "Finding Your Balance," recognizes the challenges postdocs face in balancing the rigors of their research positions with maintaining their health and wellness.

Postdocs are individuals holding doctoral degrees engaged in a temporary period of mentored research or scholarly training to gain needed skills to excel in their careers. These scholars conduct a large share of critical, cutting-edge research across all disciplines at universities, research institutions and industry members across the United States.

"Postdocs require exemplary discipline, focus, and balance to succeed in their challenging positions," said Tom Kimbis, J.D., executive director and chief executive officer of the NPA. "They are the backbone of science and research leadership in our country and deserve recognition throughout the year. Carving out a week to celebrate their remarkable work ethic and achievements is the least we can do."

The contribution of the roughly 70,000 U.S. postdocs, whose numbers are concentrated in the STEM fields and are instrumental to much of the early-stage research that occurs throughout the country, is often overlooked, as the academic postdoc is neither a student nor a faculty member. Yet, postdocs represent the highest-educated individuals in our society and drive innovation daily.

"Many don't realize that thousands of postdocs work in the social sciences - from economics to psychology - and go onto leadership positions in government, industry, and non-profit organizations," commented Stephanie Eberle, M.Ed., executive director of BioSci Careers at Stanford University. "Like those in the physical sciences, their roles are critical to societal growth and innovation."

Since its founding by the NPA in 2009, NPAW has grown into a truly national event, with universities, medical centers, industry members, and others hosting events this week to acknowledge the contributions of postdocs. Popular events during NPAW include professional and career development workshops, networking activities, and social events celebrating the immense contribution of postdocs to our nation's thought leadership. This year, roughly 40 free national events are open to all postdocs, in addition to local events happening on campuses across the nation.

NPAW 2022 is anchored by a kickoff event with opening remarks by Sharon Milgram, Ph.D., director of the Office of Intramural Training & Education (OITE) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and a panel discussion, featuring Robert Hable, Ph.D., innovation and product commercialization coordinator at BASF; Inge Hansen, Psy.D., clinical psychologist and director of well-being at Stanford University; and Yen Teng Tai, Ph.D., postdoctoral researcher at Penn State University College of Medicine. The discussion will focus on challenges early career researchers face, lessons learned from their own struggles, and a framework for postdocs to build better balance in their professional lives as they navigate their career progression.

A calendar of 2022 NPAW events can be found at https://www.nationalpostdoc.org/page/2022NPAW

This year, NPAW is made possible by NPA Distinguished Partner, Gallagher Insurance, and NPA Gold Partner, Proteintech.

The NPA is a national charitable and educational non-profit association headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, that seeks to improve the postdoctoral experience by supporting a culture of inclusive connection. At the individual, organizational, and national levels, the NPA facilitates enhanced professional growth, raises awareness, and collaborates with stakeholders in the postdoctoral community. Membership in the NPA is open to all organizations and individuals interested in advancing the interests of postdocs in the United States.

Affiliate membership in the NPA for most postdocs is free and available at https://www.nationalpostdoc.org/.

"BabyLiveAdvice's unique approach enables it to reduce these gaps and improve outcomes to enhance, not replace, the current standard of care."

BabyLiveAdvice had served over 40,000 parents, including Hispanic, Black, Navajo Nation, and other historically underserved populations. Through research and pilots, BabyLiveAdvice has demonstrated improved clinical outcomes, decreased emergency room use, reduced readmissions, and fewer postpartum complications.

Marmorstein explained how BabyLiveAdvice, "provides services that support marginalized, remote communities at a fraction of the cost with improved outcomes. We are the only company on the market that can support the entire pregnancy journey in one place from the comfort of the user's home without increasing the provider burden. With BabyLiveAdvice, babies now come with instructions."

Users have access to a network of resources and support for their journey to parenthood, including nurses, nurse-practitioners, doulas, lactation specialists, socialworkers, mental health providers, nutritional specialists, care coordinators, diabetic specialists, and virtual group education classes.

BLA provides users with virtual, live maternal education classes that support self-care and self-advocacy. Users receive significantly improved maternal-infant education in lactation, proper nutrition, mental health, weight management, blood pressure and blood sugar control, and other benefits.

"Maternal health is often overlooked and is an area of healthcare ripe for innovation benefitting both parents and children," said Melissa Larson Youngblood, BabyLiveAdvice Board Member and Co-Founder and Partner at Venn Ventures, which co-led the investment round.

Proteios Technology, Inc. Awarded $1.6 Million NIH SBIR Grant to Commercialize its Multivariate Cell Isolation Technology

SEATTLE, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- Proteios Technology, Inc. is pleased to announce it's received a $1.6 million SBIR Phase II grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to commercialize its multivariate (parallel) cell isolation technology. Grant funds will be used to extend Proteios' cell isolation kits to include up to 20 of the most common cell types currently used in cell therapy development.

Cell biology is complex. And conducting experiments on an isolated population of cells, rather than a heterogeneous mix, is a common approach to reduce experimental complexity. Cell isolation allows cell biologists to confidently attribute observed effects and responses to a particular cell type.

Specifically, Proteios' multivariate cell isolation technology provides high-performance, antibody- and magnetic bead-free isolation of cell types in fewer than 30 minutes. This is a big reduction in time compared to currently available methods, while meeting or exceeding cell yield, purity and viability.

Proprietary Proteios Chimeras will be designed and developed to bind to each of the 20 target cell types with high specificity and selectivity through a combination of robotic biological screening, Machine Learning (ML) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation.

Proteios will also incorporate Proteios Chimeras into its cGMP cell therapy manufacturing device - a bench prototype funded under contract by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The device provides end-to-end manufacturing of cell therapies in a closed and fully-automated system with concise control over the multiple cell types that form the basis of cell therapy formulations. Proteios Chimeras will be a major component of consumables for the cGMP cell therapy manufacturing device.

"It's believed that the effectiveness of cellular therapeutics can be improved by the addition/removal of certain secondary cell types," Bob Snyder, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO of Proteios Technology, says. "Proteios' cell isolation technology will provide for the parallel enrichment and/or depletion of any cell type as new cell therapy formulations are investigated, reducing the vein-to-vein time and overall manufacturing cost."

Proteios is also preparing for the immediate commercial release of its research-scale recombinant protein purification kits which will provide a viable alternative to His Tag technology, unusable with about 20 percent of proteins of interest.

Initially, Proteios will launch two kits based on a proprietary affinity tag and a silica-based resin for:

1 - high-expressing proteins; and

2 - low-expressing proteins.

Modern Foot & Ankle Opens New Clinic, Offers Evening Hours In Wesley Chapel

WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Modern Foot & Ankle is moving on up-to Wesley Chapel. Today the Central Florida podiatric group expands further into Pasco County by launching its eleventh clinic.

Ryan Haaksma, DPM, relocated from Chicago to bring his medical expertise to the group's newest location. He says he is excited to trade in the snow for a warm climate and friendly faces.

"Wesley Chapel is a rapidly growing community with a large family presence," said Dr. Haaksma. "There are a lot of outdoor activities. It's a challenging but rewarding opportunity to use the techniques I've learned to keep everyone walking pain-free."

Dr. Haaksma trained at one of the top orthopedic systems in the Midwest and under some of the most respected foot and ankle surgeons in the country at Rush University Medical Center. There, he learned a wide range of advanced options for conservative treatment and surgical intervention.

Now, by joining Modern Foot & Ankle, Dr. Haaksma has the support to deliver the highest quality care.

"Modern Foot & Ankle provides the infrastructure to allow me to practice with the most up-to-date technology to treat patients efficiently and obtain the best outcomes," he said.

From an early age, Dr. Haaksma knew he wanted to be in medicine. One of his first jobs was as a podiatric assistant.

"At the podiatry office I worked at, I had some wonderful mentors who took me under their wing," he said. "With their guidance, I realized how rewarding and beneficial a career in podiatry could be."

Dr. Haaksma says it's a great feeling of accomplishment to have worked his way from the bottom to the top.

"Besides my beautiful family, it is what I'm most proud of," he added.

The clinic is located in the plaza at 5841 Argerian Dr. in Wesley Chapel. Dr. Haasma offers evening hours because he believes creating an experience based on convenience and ease is a key component of a patient-centric approach, in addition to a welcoming demeanor.

"My greatest strength is listening to my patients and working together to come up with a treatment plan that works best for their goals," he said. "The most rewarding part of being a podiatrist is meeting a patient who's seen multiple providers without ideal results and being able to provide them with the results they've been wanting for years."

Patients who would like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Haaksma can book online at book.mfahealth.com or call 1-844-MODERN9.

Spodak Dental Group Earns Nationwide Invisalign® Provider’s Highest Honor, VIP: Diamond Plus

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Spodak Dental Group has been named a VIP: Diamond Plus Provider of Invisalign® for 2022, which is the highest honor on the Invisalign® provider rankings.

There are only about 30 general dentists in North America who have earned the VIP: Diamond Plus distinction, and this elite designation is rewarded to those practitioners who provide unparalleled results in terms of treating patients with the best braces alternative system in the world. There are more than 40,000 Invisalign providers in the United States, but only less than 1% of those perform well enough to be named a VIP: Diamond Plus provider.

"It's an amazing honor to earn this coveted distinction, but we are more so excited for our family of patients and partnering with them on their smile journey. We are proud to be able to provide unparalleled dental care and help them achieve the straight and healthy smile of their dreams, all by offering this comfortable, proven and effective teeth-straightening method," said Dr. Craig Spodak, general dentist at Spodak Dental Group.

VIP: Diamond Plus status is the Top 1% status that an Invisalign Provider can earn, as it requires that an office completes 200 cases every six months. The accreditation comes from Invisalign, and it gives a clear indication of an office's experience and expertise working with the Invisalign system. To date, the Spodak Dental Group team has successfully treated more than 2,300 patients.

Spodak Dental Group is the only general dental office to earn the VIP: Diamond Plus status in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin Counties. The team of dentists conveniently offers current and future new patients both Invisalign® Adult and Teen treatments, and provides virtual appointments for those patients who wish to avoid in-office appointments.

Invisalign® effectively treats a wide variety of cases, including crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite, and consists of smooth, comfortable plastic aligners instead of sharp metal, reducing irritation on your teeth and gums.

In addition to being a VIP: Diamond Plus Provider, the Spodak Dental Group uses the iTero® Digital Scanning System to provide great quality of care and comfort for their patients. The System eliminates the need for messy putty in the patient's mouth by creating a 3-D digital impression of his/her teeth. The System offers a faster and more comfortable experience with more accurate results, which delivers a more precise fit for the Invisalign® aligners.

Spodak Dental Group is currently helping patients begin their Invisalign® treatment for $0 down and $243 per month for 24 months, interest free. Average treatment time at the Spodak Dental Group is 10 months for adults, which is significantly less than traditional metal braces, in addition to being less expensive than braces.

The Spodak Dental Group, a 2017 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. The Spodak Dental Group team includes General and Restorative Dentists, Endodontists, Periodontists, Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Master Ceramic Artists and Anesthesiologists, as well as one of the nation's only in-office dental labs.

Spodak Dental Group is located at 3911 W. Atlantic Ave. Call or text (561) 303-2413 or visit https://www.SpodakDental.com/ for more information or to schedule a virtual or in-office appointment.

Innovative, Removable Mesh Sling Now Available for Exclusive Manufacture

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- California firm, ProNova Partners, has been chosen to handle the sale of the patent and rights to an easily removable mesh sling based on the natural encapsulation around monofilament wires or its interconnected narrow and flat strips. This encapsulation allows its easy removability.

15-year-old Mergers and Acquisitions firm, Los Angeles based ProNova Partners, has announced their commission to facilitate the sale of a new, patented technology for the repair of urine and fecal incontinence. This breakthrough has the potential to take over almost the entire incontinence repair market valued at billions of dollars.

"We are proud that our work worldwide has now enabled us now to assist in bringing a life-transforming technology to the market for manufacture," stated Rick Carlson CEO and founder of ProNova Partners.

In the almost two decades of its existence, ProNova Partners has overseen the sale of more than 400 opportunities in divergent areas. "This broad experience in multiple areas of the marketplace has been critical to our work in the medical and tech arenas," Carlson continued.

The patented "sling" technology available for rights purchase comes in 3 versions, all covered by patents: a weaved version, a detachable flat version, and an inflatable version for adjustment of the sub-urethral support.

The developer, an MD and a prolific inventor who owns more than 20 issued US and tens of International Patents says, "The weaved version of the sling we developed looks similar to the currently available synthetic slings and can be made from the same materials. However, there are some significant differences: differing from all the other available slings ours are not knitted, they are weaved making them more flexible and thinner."

"We are proud to be offering the full rights and ownership of this technological breakthrough into the marketplace for manufacture," concluded Carlson. "The offering includes all patents and will improve quality of life immediately for hundreds of thousands of patients, and once released those numbers will grow to millions."
