Bus rental platform and group transportation provider prepares for a strong rebound of the group travel industry.

MONTREAL (PRWEB) APRIL 20, 2020
The Bus.com Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Maxie Lafleur as CEO and Board Member. Ms. Lafleur joined Bus.com, a bus rental platform and group transportation provider as CFO in July 2019. The Board has made this appointment upon the resignation of former CEO and cofounder Kyle Boulay who remains an important shareholder of the company. This change comes as the company sets its eyes on accelerating the development of disruptive technology, strengthening its scaling abilities and considers making potential acquisitions.
Ms. Lafleur is a young and talented business leader who has quickly climbed the professional ladder with extensive experience in the digitalization, scaling, and transformation of businesses that were primarily B2B. She also comes with robust expertise in M&A and business expansion through joint ventures within large international companies. Most recently, she has been instrumental in her capacity as CFO at Bus.com, helping improve the company's unit economics and redefine the way that Bus.com positions itself in the marketplace. Her experience working abroad in Europe and Asia position the company well for expansion in new countries.
"Maxie is the right person to lead Bus.com into the future, given her strong command of our business and proven ability to drive results," said Josh Breinlinger, Board Member of Bus.com and Managing Director at Jackson Square Ventures, which invested in the company's last round. "Speaking on behalf of the Board, we look forward to working closely with Maxie as Chief Executive Officer."
"I am honored to lead Bus.com as Chief Executive Officer," said Ms. Lafleur. "I look forward to continuing to work closely with our exceptional senior leadership team. We feel confident the bus charter industry will recover and rebound. From this set back, we will emerge more resilient through the advancements of our technology and the tough and strategic decisions we have made and will continue to make."
Seen as the leading digital marketplace that is modernizing and building the connective tissue of the fragmented bus charter and group travel industry across North America, Bus.com comes off of a series B round in 2019 that saw Bus.com raise $15M USD, enabling the company to add seasoned professionals to the overall team.
Bus.com launches the Bus Angels Program.
Bus.com is also announcing an initiative to support its bus partners across North America called the Bus Angels Program.
"We are sensitive to the challenges our bus partners across North America are facing. They are in most part small operators that risk losing their livelihood because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, we have been compelled to act and have shifted a significant portion of our resources to actively support their families and them by providing advice, information and guidance as they take difficult decisions, renegotiate their financial obligations and navigate the many government programs and subsidies," said co-founder and COO Wolf Kohlberg. "I am also very optimistic for the future of this industry and to work on the next chapter with Maxie."
About Bus.com 
Bus.com is changing the way that groups travel by making it easier than ever to book a bus online. Through its unique technology, Bus.com is modernizing the charter bus industry to provide service across North America that is safe, easy, and affordable.

In the midst of the Covid-19 crisis, The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) -- the largest municipal fire department in the United States and the second largest in the world – has once again shown why its motto is so appropriate: "New York's Bravest."

STEVENSVILLE, MD. (PRWEB) APRIL 21, 2020
In the midst of the Covid-19 crisis, The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) -- the largest municipal fire department in the United States and the second largest in the world – has once again shown why its motto is so appropriate: "New York's Bravest."
In a city the size of New York, the scale of people and vehicles is enormous.

Link Manufacturing promotes veteran engineers Greg Hulstein and Joel Van Den Brink to new leadership positions and bids fond farewells to departing VPs Michael Hof and Bill Ott.

SIOUX CENTER, IOWA (PRWEB) APRIL 21, 2020
Link Mfg., Ltd., the leader in specialty-engineered suspensions, announced the promotion of Greg Hulstein to director of engineering and of Joel Van Den Brink to engineering manager. At the same time, the company is formally announcing the retirement of Michael Hof, Link's vice president of business development, and Bill Ott, its vice president of engineering.
"Greg and Joel embody the best of Link's engineering culture and bring decades of industry experience and strong OEM relationships to their new key positions," said Jim Huls, president of Link Manufacturing. "Michael and Bill have forged a legacy of leadership, hard work and professional excellence that will endure as an example for all of us."
In Hulstein's new role, he will lead all aspects of product development for the company. His departmental oversight will ultimately include Product Engineering and Design, Advanced Technology and Applied Technology. In June of this year, Hulstein will also begin sharing leadership responsibilities for the engineering team at Link Suspensions of Canada. He will co-manage the Canadian team with his in-country counterpart, Chris English, its managing director.
Over his 25-year career with Link, Hulstein has risen through the company's engineering ranks. His credentials include a master's degree in business administration from the University of Sioux Falls and a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Dordt University.
"I'm thrilled to be taking the engineering reins at this moment in Link's evolution," Hulstein said. "This is a vibrant and innovative company, and one that continues to establish new innovative technologies and trends in the suspension industry."
Reporting directly to Hulstein will be Joel Van Den Brink, in his own new role as engineering manager. Van Den Brink's duties will now include leading the company's product engineering staff in its Sioux Center facility. He will also guide product development teams focused on new customer projects and applications across Link's current product lines.
Van Den Brink started his engineering career with Link more than 20 years ago and brings this depth of experience with the company's processes and staff to his new post. He holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Dordt University.
"I'm excited to have this opportunity to lead our great engineering team and to help them grow professionally while helping Link continue to succeed in the process," said Van Den Brink.
In June, Link will be saying its goodbyes to retiring vice presidents in both business development and engineering. Each of the two retirees has made his own personal mark on the company he has served.
Having spent six of his nearly 30 years in the commercial vehicle industry at Link, Michael Hof helped bring consistency and continuity to Link's sales and marketing teams. First serving as director of sales and marketing and later as vice president of sales and marketing, Hof helped his team develop and hone skills and establish a tradition of professionalism in all the company's customer-facing activities. His sales and marketing duties have recently been assumed by Mike Leakey, Link's vice president of sales and marketing.
"I've sincerely enjoyed my time, the people and relationships I've built at Link," said Hof. "I hope I'm leaving it a slightly better place than I found it."
Bill Ott's engineering career in the heavy truck industry spans more than 40 years, and during that time he has helped develop many new technologies and has been awarded numerous patents. Since starting his tenure at Link in 2006, he has led its engineering department through substantial growth. Ott helped design and build Link's Applied Technology Laboratory and was at the conceptual forefront of the development of the company's revolutionary Road-Optimized Innovation (ROI) technology, featured on Link's award-winning ROI Cabmate Semi-Active Cab Suspension.
"With the avid support of management and ownership, this has been a wonderful company to work for," said Ott. "As June 30 approaches, I'm excited to finalize placing Link's considerable engineering responsibilities in the very able hands of my colleague, Greg Hulstein."
"I join everyone at Link in wishing Michael and Bill the best of luck as they embark on authoring the next chapters in their lives," said Huls. "In the meantime, we all look forward to a seamless transition and to continuing to recruit, grow and develop the talent necessary to propel Link forward."

No contact" service appointments lets owners maintain their vehicles without leaving home

BOSTON (PRWEB) APRIL 22, 2020
Zippity, the mobile automotive service and software company, is introducing at-home service appointments for car owners forced by the Coronavirus quarantine to stay at home. Until now, only employers of large companies have had access to Zippity's ultra convenient onsite car care program, offered by large employers as a perk. Now Zippity is extending the service to accommodate all Boston area car owners impacted by the quarantine. As an essential service, Zippity is able to continue operations at this time. There are no extra fees for at-home service appointments.
"We're happy to expand our coverage to accommodate anyone dealing with the difficulties of this outbreak," said Chief Executive Officer, Edward Warren. "We've all been asked to do our part by staying home and practicing social distancing, but essential services like car repair are still necessary for many customers. By making onsite car care available at customers' homes, we hope to relieve a potential stressor during this unusual time while adhering to public health recommendations."
Zippity performs these services with a "no contact" method. Customers request service online at Zippitycars.com. On service day, a uniformed technician arrives at the customer's home, retrieves the car key from a pre-arranged location, and performs all services on site. Technicians are trained on CDC guidelines for avoiding transmission of COVID-19, wear disposable gloves during the entire appointment, then spray and wipe down surfaces after service is complete. Customer communications are conducted online, so no face-to-face interaction between the customer and the service technician is required.
At-home service requires car owners to have a fairly level, off-street work area with sufficient room to safely move around the vehicle. Zippity service appointments are performed over containment mats, so there is no risk of oil or other vehicle fluids being spilled into the environment.
Zippity At-Home Services were initially offered exclusively to employees of companies that partner with Zippity for workplace services. These services have now been expanded to car owners across the Greater Boston area. Car owners can learn more about Zippity at-home services by visiting http://www.zippitycars.com/at-home

During these unprecedented times of the coronavirus pandemic, Rosco looks to support and contribute to the essential workforce with 3D printing and PPE supplies.

QUEENS, N.Y. (PRWEB) APRIL 22, 2020
Amid the coronavirus outbreak, individuals and businesses alike have joined together to support medical personnel, first responders, drivers, store employees, and all those who continue to work as the essential workforce. Rosco Vision Systems, an automotive vision safety manufacturer located in Queens, NY has joined initiatives to help supply much needed PPE and equipment to medical workers. New York State is the hardest hit state in the U.S. with the most positive cases of COVID-19 and the most deaths resulting from COVID-19.
Before the pandemic hit New York earlier this year, Rosco formed a Coronavirus Committee within the company to stay ahead of emergency situations, and to help protect health and job security for all employees. Weeks ahead of the peak in New York, Rosco split the workforce into two shifts to create manufacturing social distancing, and implemented overtime hours for manufacturing employees to prepare for a shutdown when needed. "As a Member Partner of the Critical Manufacturing Sector of the Department of Homeland Security, we moved quickly to make sure that we maintained our operation for our customers who are critical to the Defense Industrial Base, the Transportation sector and so many other vital sectors," said Ben Englander, Rosco's CEO. Rosco is part of the essential workforce supply chain for markets including military, school bus, fire & rescue, transit bus, commercial bus, truck, delivery/work vans, etc. Rosco worked tirelessly to ensure all customers' needs were met before any potential shutdown.
As a preemptive measure during the projected apex of COVID-19 in NYC, Rosco shutdownmanufacturing facilities for 10 days from April 1st -10th, 2020 for a professional deep clean of the 150,000 sq. ft. location and offices. During this halt in manufacturing, Rosco concentrated efforts into 3D printing of ventilator splitters, assembling face shields, and working with suppliers to source and donate PPE for healthcare workers in the local community.
Rosco connected with Keep Breathing, Inc., a nonprofit founded by Angel Pai and Timothy Phillips, created in evolving response to provide COVID-19 relief. Keep Breathing is comprised of a team of multidisciplinary philanthropists, formed to provide open-source designs, as well as manufacture and donate 3D-printed ventilator splitters, intubation boxes, ear savers and PAPR(powered air purifying respirator) for medical staff on the front line. This fully volunteer-based, grassroots organization grew to over 300 individual volunteers and companies in less than 3 days, sparking world-wide initiatives in over 10 countries. Using 3D printer files designed by Philip Sweeting, the vast groups of volunteers were deployed for printing, including Rosco. "We could not have accomplished what we set out to do so fluidly and efficiently had the world not stepped up to join forces, unified in this one mission to help save lives", said Angel Pai. The ventilator splitters and ear savers have been donated to the NY State of Health, as well as directly to hospitals such as Elmhurst, Maimonides, Bellevue and Mt. Sinai for testing and made available for use in the case of emergency.
About Rosco: 
Rosco is a leading global manufacturer of automotive vision safety products to the bus and truck marketplace. Founded in New York City in 1907 as a safety product manufacturer for automotive and aeronautical markets, Rosco moved to its current location in Queens, New York in 1974.

Capistrano Mazda offering remote auto service, 100%-online buying and highlights Mazda COVID-19 financial aid options

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIF. (PRWEB) APRIL 22, 2020
California has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. As such, many restrictions have been put in place for the safety of the population. However, these guidelines make it much more difficult to obtain everyday items and services that most consumers have become accustomed to. This is particularly problematic when it comes to things like automotive maintenance, which accessing without social distancing and stay-at-home orders in effect wasn't easy in the first place. Capistrano Mazda has realized this and shifted its focus to cater to remote services.
Capistrano Mazda has taken numerous steps to ensure the safety of its customers and employees. The biggest changes come with new no-contact services. For instance, with at-home test drives, a member of the Capistrano Mazda sales team will deliver the desired vehicle to a customer's residence for a test drive and then return the vehicle to the dealership afterward. Vehicles can also be picked up for regular service appointments and will be returned to the owner's home after the maintenance has been completed. Capistrano Mazda has more services like these aimed at making automotive service easy to acquire and risk-free for its community.
The team at Capistrano Mazda wants current owners to know that Mazda is offering multiple forms of financial relief. Applicants may be eligible for vehicle loan assistance, lease payment assistance and lease-end extensions. Prospective buyers also can obtain 0% APR financing for up to 60 months with a 90-day payment deferral. Those who have owned or leased a Mazda vehicle immediately prior to getting a new Mazda will be rewarded a $1,500 credit towards another purchase or lease.

Study explores approaches to ensuring adequate power availability for growing electric vehicle fleets given limitations in increasing the power from utility grids in the near term

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. (PRWEB) APRIL 22, 2020
Today, Rhombus Energy Solutions is announcing the availability of its "Minimizing the Impact of the Utility Grid on EV Fleets" white paper. The white paper describes the challenges increasing the available power for electric vehicle (EV) fleet operators charging infrastructure, and the viability of different options to mitigate these challenges. Specifically, the white paper examines the impact that utilizing energy storage systems can have to reduce the impact of grid power delivery limitations on growing EV fleets, as well as reducing energy operating costs for fleet EV operators.
Today, the percentage of electric vehicles at most fleet operators, whether autos, delivery vans, or larger vehicles such as buses, short-haul trucks, and similar vehicles, typically are in the mid- to high-single digit percentages. As such, getting adequate power from the utility grid doesn't pose a large problem today for most metropolitan fleet EV operators. However, as the percentage of EVs in vehicle fleets continue to grow, grid power limitations are likely to become issues for more and more of these fleet operators. Given the difficulties adding a new megawatt power feed in metropolitan areas, it can take several years to increase the grid power available for a fleet EV charging infrastructure.
"Grid power availability will become a significant problem for fleets as they increase the number of electric vehicles they operate," said Rick Sander, CEO of Rhombus Energy Solutions. "Integrating energy storage with vehicle-to-grid capable chargers and smart EMS solutions is a quick and effective mitigation strategy for this issue. Moreover, it can significantly reduce fleet energy operating costs."
Building "top-down" solutions (more power plants, more distribution lines, bigger substations, bigger transformers, etc.) is very expensive, has huge (5-10 year) lead times, and doesn't easily adapt to changing needs over time. Using energy storage at the point of power consumption (the EV charging infrastructure) provides a fast, modular way to mitigate the demands of EV fleets on the grid, and can reduce the energy costs of EV fleets. Furthermore, energy storage resources at the point of consumption also enable the use of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV) solar power to further reduce energy costs.
"Solving grid power availability for fleet EV charging requires more than just connecting a bunch of batteries to a charger infrastructure," said Joseph Gottlieb, CTO of Rhombus Energy Solutions. "Solving the grid power availability issue requires a smart infrastructure that was built from the ground up to support energy storage, and allow for the integration of renewable energy resources as well. Rhombus' unmatched expertise with microgrids, fleet EV chargers, vehicle to grid, and energy management systems allows us to create complete solutions that solve the grid power availability issue effectively."
Rhombus has fielded hundreds of high-power, bi-directional, high-reliability fleet EV charging systems and inverters for energy storage and PV solar-based microgrid, for customers in a variety of demanding operational environments. Combining the best of these capabilities into an integrated solution for EV fleet charging solution represents an effective way to mitigate utility grid power limitations in the short- to medium-term, while also reducing energy operating costs for EV fleet operators. Our white paper describes a reference architecture for such a solution, and provides guidelines for sizing such a solution; you can read it at http://www.rhombusenergy.com.
About Rhombus Energy Solutions 
Rhombus develops and manufactures next-generation bi-directional electric vehicle charging infrastructure, high-efficiency power conversion systems, and energy management system (EMS) software for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capable electric vehicle fleet charging, energy storage, and microgrid applications.

A new flexible form of aerogel that can be made as thin as a human hair promises to revolutionize 5G antennas, apparel, reusable virus-proof PPE, and battery containment for electric vehicles

BOSTON (PRWEB) APRIL 23, 2020
Boston-based manufacturer Aerogel Technologies, LLC has been selected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to commercialize a new form of aerogel that is ultrathin, flexible, and dust-free, with applications ranging from 5G antennas to apparel to transportation.
Aerogels are a fascinating class of ultralight materials known for being the world's lightest solids and best thermal insulators. Composed of up to 99.98% air by volume, aerogels have previously been used by NASA to insulate the electronics of the Mars rovers from the extreme temperatures of the Red Planet. While commercial forms of aerogels have been available here on Earth for about 20 years, they have been primarily limited to brittle silica aerogels that must be combined with other materials such as fiberglass or resins in order to make them practical for commercial applications. In recent years, aerogel manufacturer Aerogel Technologies introduced a new class of aerogels based on organic polymers instead of silica, extending the range of applications that aerogels can address. Sold under the tradename Airloy, Aerogel Technologies describes these aerogels as being 3-15x lighter than plastics or composites yet exhibiting the durability expected of engineering materials while simultaneously offering 2-3x better thermal insulating performance than Styrofoam and up to 1000x better soundproofing than any other material. Polymer aerogels such as those made by Aerogel Technologies have so far only been available as rigid boards or molded 3D parts, however, and for some applications thin flexible sheets would be a better fit. Astronaut suits are one such application, calling for a material that can protect astronauts from the extreme thermal environments of space while also being thin and flexible enough to permit movement. In support of this, researchers at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, OH developed a way of producing polymer aerogels in flexible sheets as thin as a human hair, hoping the technology would one day work its way into commercial applications.
Now, NASA has announced Aerogel Technologies as its exclusive commercial partner for bringing this new form factor of aerogel to market. Aerogel Technologies says that it will begin production of rolls of flexible plastic-like polyimide and polyamide aerogel sheets, tapes, and films in thicknesses ranging from 125 microns (5 mil) to 1.5 mm at its pilot plant in Boston immediately, including novel water-repelling products based on a new patent-pending hydrophobic polyimide aerogel formulation developed by the company. Aerogel Technologies expects its new thin-profile aerogel products to find applications in high-gain 5G antennas, ultrawarm winter apparel and footwear, soundproofing, bulletproof vests, thin-profile thermal management for consumer electronics, and lithium-ion battery separators for electric vehicles, among many other potential applications. Additionally, thanks to air pockets 6x smaller than the diameter of the COVID-19 coronavirus, Aerogel Technologies says its new aerogel thin films can even serve as air-breathable virus-blocking barrier films for next-generation personal protection equipment.
"We are honored NASA has selected Aerogel Technologies to become the world's first commercial producer of aerogel thin films," said Dr. Stephen Steiner, President & CEO of Aerogel Technologies. "The combination of our unique aerogel manufacturing capabilities and NASA's materials innovations means that the exciting advances in aerogels made by America's space program will now be available for the benefit of all."
Steiner notes that other commercially available porous polyimide thin film products are sometimes marketed as polyimide aerogels but are in fact not actually aerogels, rather, porous polymer films with large multi-micron-sized pores. In contrast, Steiner says the new Aerogel Technologies products are the world's first truly mesoporous aerogel films, exhibiting average pore diameters on the order of only 10-20 nm. Steiner says this aspect of the company's products makes them 50% more insulating, significantly more durable and shatter-resistant, and lower in dielectric constant and loss tangent than competing porous polyimide thin film products, enabling a host of new technological applications.
"These new aerogel thin film products will solve important societal problems in industries ranging from communications to transportation to healthcare," said Steiner. "We're excited to finally get these disruptive new materials into customers' hands."
Aerogel Technologies plans to make its new aerogel thin film products available to the public for purchase through its ecommerce website BuyAerogel.com

TCA Profitability Program webinar focuses on Maintenance Procedures in Uncertain Times

GLEN ALLEN, VA. (PRWEB) APRIL 23, 2020
Decisiv, Inc., the industry leader in Service Relationship Management (SRM) solutions, announced today it has continued its ongoing support of the Truckload Carriers Association and the trucking industry during the COVID crisis. Recently, Decisiv President and CEO Dick Hyatt served as a speaker during a TCA Profitability Program webinar on Maintenance Procedures in Uncertain Times.
"While dealer service activity on our Service Relationship Management platform was initially down 13.6% it has stabilized, indicating that the trucking industry is still hard at work hauling essential goods and supplies, and that commercial vehicle service providers are dedicated to keeping the nation's supply chain moving during the ongoing crisis," Hyatt stated. "During these times we are working with the more than 4,500 service locations and 40,000 users of SRM to implement best service practices. Those include accelerating the move to a fully digitized service management environment and service process.
"We're working with our fleet, dealer network and OEM customers on digitization," Hyatt added. "For years, we heard "We will digitize that process later" but that has dramatically changed in the past few months as companies respond to the COVID crisis with effective practices. This is the time to get rid of paper files, to reduce face-to-face hand offs, and to eliminate sticky notes, job jackets, inspection forms, and other documents. This is an opportunity to meet an immediate need and implement paperless practices that are best for the long term."
Digitization, Hyatt noted, avoids unnecessary contact, speeds processes and creates a virtual paper trail. Best practices include digital tractor, trailer, in-cab and lease turn-in inspections; electronic estimates that enable review and approval; digital workflow processes for assigning and tracking internal and external tasks, and electronic archives for paperless service events.
Moderated by Jack Porter, TCA Profitability Program managing director and founder of GPorter Group, Maintenance Procedures in Uncertain Times featured Mike Gomes, vice president of maintenance at Bison Transport, and Kevin Bergman, director of fleet maintenance at Prime Inc., who shared strategies they are utilizing in their service operations. Topics covered included technician workforce procedures for safety and communication with shops; best practices for interacting with drivers; tractor sanitation protocols and products, and what to anticipate after COVID-19 to meet pent-up demand with new procedures.
Dick Hyatt also shared COVID Response actions that Decisiv has provided to help service locations ensure health and safety. Decisiv welcomes ideas for combating the spread of COVID-19 within the trucking and service domain at response@decisiv.com.

DECATUR, ALA. (PRWEB) APRIL 24, 2020
Despite interruptions caused by the coronavirus around the Decatur area, Toyota of Decatur has managed to continue operating and helping customers with their various needs. One of the functions that most of the dealership's product experts relish is customer education.

Like its traditional gasoline-only sibling, the 2020 Highlander Hybrid has been completely redesigned with a more modern and athletic exterior aesthetic as well as now offering the latest connectivity technology the automaker has available.
All four available 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid trims for sale or lease at Toyota of Decatur will be powered by a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine attached to the manufacturer's innovative hybrid system. It will produce 186 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque while also being able to record up to 27 miles per gallon in the city and 31 miles per gallon on the highway. Just because the 2020 Highlander Hybrid is designed to conserve fuel, that doesn't mean it can't work hard too. When properly equipped, the 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid can tow as much as 3,500 pounds.
In terms of standard features, each version of the popular crossover SUV will be equipped with keyless methods of unlocking the doors, starting the hybrid engine and opening the expansive rear liftgate. Additionally, all trims have the necessary technology to be compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Amazon Alexa. The XLE, Limited and Platinum models also offer wireless smartphone charging.

Compare-autoinsurance.org (https://compare-autoinsurance.org/) is a top auto insurance brokerage website, providing car insurance quotes online from trustworthy agencies all over the United States. This website presents how the coronavirus pandemic has changed the auto insurance industry.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) APRIL 24, 2020
Car insurance is essential financial protection for drivers in case they get into a car accident that makes them liable for damage, or in case their vehicles get stolen or damaged. As long as the premium is paid, the insurance is active and the drivers are protected. However, given the COVID-19 pandemic, many drivers are wondering how their car insurance policies will be affected or if they should drop some of the coverage.
When dealing with car insurance and with car insurance companies, drivers should know that many things have already changed. The most important things that drivers need to know are the following: 

How car insurance policies have changed during the coronavirus outbreak. Most of them haven't changed at all. However, many drivers can expect to get refunds or paybacks from their insurers given the fact that there are fewer cars on the roads and there is a decreasing number of accidents. Even though drivers are likely to travel less miles in this period, they are advised to keep their policies and do not make any changes in their coverages.

How to contact the insurance provider. In order to keep customers and employees safe during this uncertain time, many providers are enforcing new work from home policies. Depending on the insurance company, drivers have several options to contact them. Most insurers offer a 24/7 emergency hotline, or they can be contacted through their websites, mobile apps, email, and live chat.

How insurers are responding to the current crisis. Most insurance companies have already taken several measures to deal with this pandemic. Many of them are offering paybacks to their customers. Other measures include billing support, temporary payment extensions, decreased insurance rates, suspension of policy cancelation or text message only claims.

How to handle the current policy. Given the current coronavirus outbreak, most drivers are keeping their cars in a garage and they can be tempted to drop optional coverages like comprehensive or collision. However, drivers who still need to drive should consider that their cars could be damaged, stolen, or totaled in an accident, even if there are fewer cars on the road due to COVID-19 outbreak. Drivers who are planning on not driving at all for a long time, can put their vehicles in storage and keep only comprehensive insurance.

How to file a claim. Depending on the insurance provider, drivers can file a claim via the insurer's website, over the phone, or by using a mobile app. Once a claims adjuster is assigned, the drivers can work with them virtually. Usually, the adjuster will request a video call to survey the damage.

Compare-autoinsurance.org (https://compare-autoinsurance.org/) announces a new blog post, "What You Need to Know About Your Car Insurance in This Period of Coronavirus Outbreak"

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) APRIL 24, 2020
Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains how the current COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the car insurance industry.
For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/what-you-need-to-know-about-your-car-insurance-in-this-period-of-coronavirus-outbreak/
The effects of the coronavirus for the car insurance industry are already quite severe. Many drivers are quite concerned about their abilities to pay their next insurance bills. Fortunately, many providers have understood the severity of the current situation and are offering payment relief, halting insurance cancellations, and providing online claims processing. Some of them are even providing partial premium refunds because many consumers aren't driving very much due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
No one could have anticipated the damages done by the current crisis. For his reason, the car insurance industry and the drivers are adapting and are making a few changes: 

Failure to pay insurance premiums on time no longer leads to policy cancelation. Insurance providers and their regulators realize these aren't normal times due to the coronavirus outbreak. Insurance companies are offering new programs and procedures to assist drivers who may have suffered a job loss, reduced hours, or medical issues. Drivers who need assistance should contact their insurers for help and guidance.

Car Insurance companies are offering extended grace periods. Given the current situation, most insurance providers are extending grace periods and halting cancellations for customers who can't make their payments. Many car insurance providers have announced case-by-case programs to assist customers who have financial troubles.

Switching to a new insurer is not recommended. Drivers can't just simply switch to a new insurer and obtain cheaper premiums. However, in this involuntarily pause caused by the coronavirus outbreak, drivers can research their insurance options and check if they need to make changes to their coverages, insurance company, or deductibles.

Drivers who are no longer using their cars to drive to work can get a discount. Drivers should contact their insurers to see if they can dial back the declared mileage until the crisis is over. Many insurance companies have already announced automatic premium rebate programs.

Canceling coverage during this time should be avoided. Most drivers still need to drive their cars to grocery stores or to medical appointments. Cars can still get stolen or damaged by natural events like storms, floods, or tornadoes. Also, insurance providers don't like to see lapses in coverage, and they can raise their premiums after the crisis is over.

The current crisis doesn't affect the ability to file a claim. While the coronavirus pandemic is no reason for affecting the driver's ability to file a claim and get the car repaired, this crisis can cause some delays. Most insurance providers are offering online claims portals where drivers can upload documents, photos of the vehicle, and any property damage. Also, claims adjusters may ask drivers to shoot videos that highlight vehicle damages, so they can appraise the damages remotely.

Dealing with a collision or with a police stop has changed. Drivers should perform all of the duties that are required to do by law while trying to put as much distance between themselves and the other driver as possible. They can do that by placing their documents — driver's licenses, registration, and insurance cards — on the hood of their cars, then letting the other party photograph them with their smartphone, then doing the same with their documents. While being stopped by the police, drivers should do exactly what they are told to do.

Groundbreaking Effort Brings Public Health, Healthcare and Social Services Together to Advance Community Health

ALEXANDRIA, VA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
The Public Health National Center for Innovationsand the Center for Sharing Public Health Services(CSPHS), today announced grant awards totaling nearly $1.5 million to support collaborations between governmental public health, healthcare and social services. Provided as part of the Cross-sector Innovation Initiative (CSII), the funds will advance the efforts of 10 grantees to implement innovative multisector partnerships between governmental public health, healthcare, and social service organizations, along with the engagement of their communities, with the ultimate goal of aligning the three sectors' work to improve population health, well-being, and equity for all.
The initiative breaks new ground as it seeks to create an unprecedented effort toward achieving systems alignment between public health, healthcare and social services, supporting strategies that address both population-focused efforts and the social needs of individuals. Through their support of community-based efforts, the collaborations will elevate the focus on population health, thereby improving the health and well-being of the people they serve and the communities in which they operate.
"This new trend holds promise, and this initiative can be even more far-reaching and impactful with additional partners and long-term commitments," said PHNCI Chief Innovations Officer Jessica Solomon Fisher, MCP. "Bringing these three sectors together for this grant opportunity – along with the engagement of the community -- has the potential to achieve unprecedented improvements in health and equity, and innovative solutions to complex problems that impact the health and well-being of communities everywhere."
The grants, made possible with support from the Princeton, N.J.-based Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, provide up to $150,000 to each of the 10 grantees to implement alignment innovations over the next 24 months. The initiative will emphasize the role and value of health departments in cross-sector collaborations while increasing understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that these collaborations represent for health departments.
"The level and complexity of the work required to advance the health of communities is far beyond what any one sector can achieve alone," said CSPHS Director Gianfranco Pezzino, MD, MPH. "We can achieve far greater results by working together and using innovation to make lasting improvements in population health outcomes. Working together means not only working across sectors, but also ensuring the community is engaged as an equal partner."
The alignment innovations being implemented by the 10 grantees vary widely by focus, partner involvement, and level of collaboration. However, all involve high levels of partner trust, a shared vision and goals, community involvement, strong support from governance, and a specific goal to improve population health and achieve health equity. Funded initiatives will address a range of topics, including structural racism through policy, creating sustainable financing structures, and the root causes of inequitable birth outcomes. One initiative aims to develop a set of strategies to engage housing residents to improve physical and mental healthcare coordination, while another will work to infuse community voice in governance and leadership structures.
In addition to receiving funding to support their collaborative efforts, each grantee will also receive technical assistance and the opportunity to participate in a CSII Learning Community designed to facilitate peer exchange and share expertise. As learnings are captured, they will be evaluated and widely disseminated to the field through a variety of tools, resources, stories and other communication materials.
"This is a truly groundbreaking effort that will help us to better understand what facilitates or impedes cross-sector collaborations, the unique role of governmental public health in these efforts to align different sectors, and the value of this work to all partners involved," said Monique Shaw, MPH, Program Officer for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The 10 grant recipients and their project titles are: 

Better Health Together (WA): A Collaborative Approach to Communtiy Equity in Spokane County, WA

Team Novo Nordisk inspires millions of people around the world with their message

ATLANTA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
The wait is finally over. The first wild card for the 2020 Tour de Pologne has officially been assigned to Team Novo Nordisk. For years, this squad has been associating professional sports to a truly special project.
The group was originally formed with the aim of being the first team in the world made up entirely of athletes with diabetes. They decided to take on the ambitious mission to show that diabetes does not have to be an obstacle to pursuing your dreams and achieving your goals. By sharing their experiences and stories of their daily lives, the riders have become a source of inspiration for the 430 million people who live with this condition. Their program promotes the fundamental values of cycling, where determination is the real key to accomplishment.
CEO and Co-Founder of the team, Phil Southerland, says he is honored that the Lang Team is still supporting their project, which will provide their platform with international exposure during the race. "We do not take this wild card lightly," he added. "And we will arrive ready to light up the race and show the world what is possible when you have diabetes. In 2020 this will not change, and we will approach this event with the same drive and motivation as always."
General Manager Vassili Davidenko feels the same. He says: "For our team and sponsors, we feel the continued support from the Tour de Pologne shows a recognition of our growth and a belief in our team's unique message. Year after year, our project continues to grow, and we will show our appreciation by lining up with our best squad and racing aggressively at an event that suits the skills of our team. The route is really diverse and has something for every type of rider, meaning there will be lots of opportunities for us over the seven stages. With the squad we have, we will be looking to make the most of these opportunities, taking every chance we get to prove ourselves and building on the success we had at last year's race.
Czeslaw Lang explained his choice by saying, "This is a unique team that combines high sports performance with noble goals. During previous editions of the Tour de Pologne, Team Novo Nordisk riders have made a very good impression. The best example is Charles Planet, who last year won the Lotto Most Active Rider classification and was the leader of the Tauron Best Climber classification for four stages."But the boss also pointed out the importance of the values that motivate the entire team. "Inspiration and support for all people with diabetes is a message that should be promoted in Poland and around the world."
About Team Novo Nordisk – Racing to Change Diabetes 
Team Novo Nordisk is a global all-diabetes sports team of cyclists spearheaded by the world's first all-diabetes professional cycling team. In 2012, Phil Southerland, co-founder and CEO of the team, and global healthcare company Novo Nordisk, came together to create Team Novo Nordisk, based on a shared vision to inspire, educate and empower people around the world affected by diabetes.

New Baltimore-based company is bringing technology/development skills from New England and South Korea

BALTIMORE (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
The LaunchPort announced today that ExoRenal (http://www.exorenal.com) has moved into The LaunchPort medical device accelerator in Port Covington, Baltimore. The newly formed company is developing a novel pulsatile hemodialysis technology that is targeting the issues that must be addressed to manage increased demand for home dialysis treatments. The start-up company will be moving research functions from New England and will be adding engineering and R&D personnel from South Korea during the course of 2020.
Dr. Jake Lee, the founder of ExoRenal, has been conducting R&D for 17 years regarding blood purification including hemo and liver dialysis devices, and previously worked for LG Electronics, BHK and Fresenius Medical Care Korea. He came to the US to conduct research at the University of Michigan and the University of Vermont, and has most recently worked with the US Army under a $1M contract to develop a multifunctional blood purifying device that is rugged and readily useable under battlefield conditions to manage soldiers with multiple organ failure.
ExoRenal represented one of four South Korean technologies that were hosted at LaunchPort in 2019 during the Korean Bio I-Corps program – a dual-country customer discovery process sponsored by the Korean Innovation Center (Tysons Corner, VA) and the National Research Foundation (Seoul, South Korea) and taught by The MVR Company (Annapolis, MD). At the conclusion of the program, ExoRenal was selected to receive a commercialization investment from the NRF.
Dr. Lee commented, "I chose Port Covington as the home base for our new company, based on our experience this past summer at The LaunchPort. We were impressed at the concentration of medical innovation in Baltimore – especially the strong reception from physicians and researchers at Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland. Proximity to the numerous Federal agencies that are located in Maryland was also a critical factor for us."
Robert Storey, Managing Partner of LaunchPort, noted that ExoRenal is the fifth technology/company at LaunchPort that has relocated from elsewhere to Baltimore. "We've had companies from the Bay Area, Texas, Midwest and New England move to the site. It's just another statement that the Baltimore/DC area is a vibrant and growing Medtech hub."
ExoRenal will be occupying engineering prototyping space within LaunchPort's engineering suites at the Port Covington City Garage and is collaborating with anchor tenant Engineered Medical Systems on commercial manufacturing.
About ExoRenal (Baltimore, MD) 
ExoRenal is an early stage medical device company developing a novel hemodialysis unit – the xKidney– in which the entire dialysate compartment becomes disposable, addressing the need for the home care market for hemodialysis with simplification, lightweight, and significant convenience. Their patented active Piston Balancing (aPB) pumping technology integrates blood pump, dialysate pumps and the dialysate balancing chamber into a single disposable element, vastly reducing costs of operation and maintenance.
About The LaunchPort (Port Covington, Baltimore, MD)

CTL Amedica Corporation has been granted an official patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a screw offset blocking mechanism, which has been designed for and implemented in the company's newly released MONET Anterior Cervical Fusion System. CTL Amedica plans to implement the robust blocking mechanism in future cervical and lumbar plating systems and is looking at licensing options.

DALLAS (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
CTL Amedica Corporation has been granted an official patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a screw offset blocking mechanism, which has been thoughtfully designed for and implemented in the company's newly released MONET Anterior Cervical Fusion System. CTL Amedica plans to implement the robust blocking mechanism in future cervical and lumbar plating systems. The US Patent for the offset blocking mechanism – number 10,543,101 – was issued Jan. 28, 2020.
"Cervical surgeries make up more than half of all spine surgeries worldwide, and integrated technologies continue to flourish throughout the entire orthopedic implant sector, so we're particularly pleased to announce this new patent. The blocking technology can be utilized in current and future products and may have licensing possibilities down-the-road," says Daniel Chon, CTL Amedica Corporation president and CEO.

The newly patented, offset screw blocking mechanism can be found in the FDA-cleared, integrated MONET Anterior Cervical Fusion System, which features both titanium and PEEK cage options. The MONET also features integrated, anterior plating options, including low-profile, four-screw configurations, as well as zero-profile, two-screw assemblies. These construct options provide surgeons with the true intra-operative flexibility required to accommodate each patient's individual anatomy.
CTL Amedica Corporation is a forward-thinking medical device design, development and manufacturing company.

Rebecca Sklar, RPA-C with Advanced Dermatology PC, Offers Tips on Treating Fungal Skin and Nail Infections.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
Probably, the Clint Eastwood movie comes to mind first. "But 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'," says Rebecca Sklar, a certified registered physician assistant specializing in dermatology with Advanced Dermatology PC, "is also a great moniker for the millions of fungi that we share the world with. Most are harmless, even good, like those mushrooms on our pizza! However, some forms can cause common skin and nail infections about which we should be aware."
As we learned in high school biology, "fungi" is a kingdom of organisms that inhabit soil, water and air, as well as other living creatures, including humans. "There are different forms of fungi that make their home on our skin and in our bodies," explains Sklar. "However, health problems arise if there is an overgrowth, or if foreign fungi invade."
Fungal skin and nail infections affect millions. "One the most common forms is ringworm, medical name 'tinea' or 'dermatophytosis,'" notes Sklar. "As many as fifteen percent of us have ringworm on our feet, better known as 'athlete's foot.' Another common type is 'tinea cruris', also called 'jock itch.'"
Ringworm sometimes appears as a circle. However, with athlete's foot, the red, itchy rash typically shows up between the toes. In cases of "jock itch," a red, scaly, itchy rash affects the groin area.
In addition to ringworm, other species of fungi, including Candida, can cause skin infections, as well as fungal nail infections. The medical name for this is 'onychomycosis,' which may discolor and progressively damage the nail.
"Fungal skin infections," observes Sklar, "can appear similar to other conditions. A specialist's diagnosis is important so that the infection receives the distinct treatment it requires and is not mistreated. For example, steroid creams can exacerbate cases of ringworm."
"With fungal nail infections," continues Sklar, "the longer they progress, the harder they are to eradicate."
Most fungal infections respond well to treatment, including over-the-counter (OTC) applications, as well as prescription medicines. "In some cases," adds Sklar, "doctors may recommend interventions such as laser therapy."
"It's important for patients to understand the conditions that help inhibit fungal growth," emphasizes Sklar, "so that they can make choices that will support their treatment."
With that in mind, Sklar has the following suggestions:
5 Tips on Addressing Fungal Skin and Nail Infections:
1. Keep your cool: "Fungi love warm and wet," explains Sklar. "Infections typically occur in those body environments, like sweaty feet. We want to get out of damp footwear and clothing ASAP, as well as taking other steps, like applying drying powders."    
2. Keep it clean: "Fungi is contagious," states Sklar, "and can travel on personal items, like towels and nail clippers, as well as clothing that touches infected areas. Fresh, dry clothes, especially socks and underwear, are important, with more-than-daily changes if needed, for example after working out. Likewise, we want to keep nails trimmed and personal items disinfected."
3. Let it breathe: "Tight, 'unbreathable' materials can result in the wet, warm environment that fungi love," notes Sklar. "Cotton clothing – especially socks and underwear – and comfortable, 'breathable' footwear can help keep fungi at bay."
4. Some cases need more than OTC: "Ringworm such as athlete's foot and jock itch," says Sklar, "often responds well to over-the-counter products, such as terbinafine. But other forms, such as on the scalp, require prescription treatment. And nail fungus can be stubborn. A combination of prescription oral and topical medication may work. And in our practice, we're seeing excellent results with laser treatments, which have the benefit of avoiding medications' side effects."
5. Practice prevention: "The maxim 'sharing is caring,'" observes Sklar, "does not apply to fungi. Personal grooming items and towels should be personal. Likewise if we're at the salon, we want to be sure that pedicure and manicure items are disinfected between clients. At the gym as well, clean towels and shower shoes are essential."
"The dermatologist's office," concludes Sklar, "can put fungi in their proper place, so that we can focus on the good ones – like those on our pizza!"

1-800-PetMeds is sponsoring Bideawee through 2020 to help provide the support new adoptive dog and cat parents need to keep their new pet healthy.

DELRAY BEACH, FLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
To help make sure new pet parents have the support, products, and education they need to keep their new family members healthy, 1-800-PetMeds is teaming up with Bideawee by sponsoring the no-kill rescue organization from February 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021.
Adopting a pet is life-changing. Many pet parents are overwhelmed with new responsibilities like changing routines, learning how to care for their pet, and obtaining tools, toys, and supplies, all while bonding with their new best friend.
This feeling of being overwhelmed often leads to the pet being returned to the shelter or given away. According to the American Humane Society, about 1 in 10 adopted pets are no longer in their new home just six months post-adoption.
Bideawee's mission is to connect pets and people - for loving relationships that last a lifetime. Potential adopters are set up with a matchmaker who helps them find the perfect pet based on their personality, lifestyle, and the pet's special needs and quirks.
All animals in its care are given the medical, emotional, and behavioral support to help set them up to be well-rounded pets in their new home. Adopters who get their pet from either the Manhattan or Westhampton adoption center become a part of Bideawee's large extended family, and can continue to have a relationship with those who cared for their pet at the shelter.
"Bringing a new pet home for the first time can be exciting and daunting at the same time, especially if it's your first-ever cat or dog. We're so excited to be a part of Bideawee's mission to help new pet parents get the education and support they need so they can focus on falling in love with their new pet." says Larissa Schenck, Director of Marketing at 1-800-PetMeds.
"At Bideawee, we want to make sure our adopters have the right tools and products to provide their new animals with a long and healthy life. We are thrilled to be partnering with 1-800-Pet Meds who are experts in pet care and disease prevention," says Leslie Granger, President and CEO of Bideawee.
About 1-800-PetMeds 
Founded in 1996, Petmeds.com is America's Most Trusted Pet Pharmacy providing fast, easy and helpful service to over ten million customers across the U.S. by delivering prescription and non-prescription medications and pet supplies for less, direct to the consumer through its 1-800-PetMeds toll-free number, on the Internet through its website Petmeds.com, or with the 1-800-PetMeds mobile app available for free at Google Play for Android and the App Store for iOS.
About Bideawee 
Bideawee, which means "stay awhile," in Scottish, is one of the country's oldest and most respected animal welfare and pet adoption organizations. Founded in 1903, Bideawee's mission is to be Greater New York's leader in rescuing, caring for, and placing homeless cats and dogs with people who love them. Bideawee provides an array of high touch services including adoption centers, animal hospitals, pet therapy programs, and pet memorial parks that serve pets and pet lovers on their lifelong journey together. Bideawee is a not-for-profit 501(c) 3 humane animal organization and 100% of Bideawee's funding comes from private sources. Bideawee operates in New York City, Wantagh, and Westhampton.

INSPAN LLC is pleased to announce the successful results from a long-term follow-up clinical study of outpatient L4-L5 lumbar interspinous fixation for degenerative spinal stenosis using the Inspan interspinous fixation device (INSPAN LLC)

BOSTON (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
INSPAN LLC (a privately-owned company) is pleased to announce the successful results from a long-term follow-up clinical study of outpatient L4-L5 lumbar interspinous fixation for degenerative spinal stenosis using the Inspan interspinous fixation device (INSPAN LLC). Unlike extension block design, the Inspan device fixates the spine to allow for immediate stability, distraction, decompression, and fusion. Based on biomechanical studies, the Inspan device may be the strongest interspinous fixation device on the market and thus is being used for spinal fusion replacing the traditional method that uses pedicle screws and interbodies with laminectomies
The study was performed at the LESS Institute by Professor Dr. Kingsley R Chin, MD, a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon and coauthors Dr. Fabio Pencle and Dr. Jason Seale.
The study was a retrospective review of prospectively collected data under an IRB approved study cohort. The study evaluated 122 surgical cases of lumbar decompression with interspinous fixation from September 2011 to October 2016. A total of 56 patients had instrumentation at L4-L5. Total female population was 46%. The median age of the patients included in the population was 50.9+/-10.7 years with a median BMI of 24.8+/-11.4 kg/m2. Two-year VAS and ODI showed significant improvement form 8.1+/-1.2 to 1.5+/-1.1 and 42.9+/-14.3 to 14.8+/-5.1. All surgeries were completed in less than one hour. There was a total of one revision case with removal of Inspan and converted to an open hemilaminectomy decompression.
In conclusion, the long-term outcome of the study demonstrated improved outcomes in patients who underwent interspinous distraction decompression in an ambulatory surgery center using the Inspan device at L4-L5 for degenerative spinal stenosis. There were no complications or implant failures.
About INSPAN, LLC

BRONXVILLE, N.Y. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
The F.C. Sturtevant Company, America's first skin care company, announced that skincare industry veteran Scott Friedman has been named Vice President of the Professional Skincare Division. Friedman will be leveraging his 20 plus years of industry experience to support F.C.

The emphasis on quality product development and commitment to comprehensive brand support and product training is best in class," says Friedman. "Columbia Probiotics technology is the world's first strain-specific probiotics created for topical usage. These clinically-proven, multi-functional products for all skin types fill a need that currently does not exist in the professional skincare market."
Friedman's dynamic and diverse experience includes consulting with Coola Suncare and Fillerina USA and launching both in the physician and medical spa markets, building a successful startup suncare company, MDSolarSciences into a seven-figure sales company, and helping make MedSkin Solutions into a considerable contender in the Americas market.

While there is a lot of advice out there about how to stay healthy as we age, the importance of maintaining meaningful relationships is often overlooked. According to The University of Michigan's National Poll on Healthy Aging, more than a third of seniors surveyed said they sometimes experience a lack of companionship, with many also acknowledging feelings of isolation.
"Establishing positive social relationships with friends and family is vital to a person's physical, mental and emotional health," said Lakelyn Hogan, gerontologist and caregiver advocate at Home Instead Senior Care. "No matter what stage of life you are in, devoted friendships can have a real impact on overall quality of life." In fact, research suggests adults who remain socially active as they age often experience more mental stimulation and even increased physical activity, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation.
While regular social interaction is beneficial at any age, research has shown older adults are particularly receptive to the positive effects of spending time with family and friends. Family members and friends can increase these interactions as easily as calling an older loved one more regularly or getting together for a weekly meal.
Additionally, there are countless ways for seniors themselves to remain socially active and create new friendships later in life. For inspiration, Lakelyn Hogan suggests exploring the following opportunities: 

Embrace Passions. Reflect on your interests and consider ways to enjoy those pastimes with others. Many older adults find they have more free time, which is a perfect justification to immerse yourself in a favorite hobby. No matter what your passion is, there is likely a way you can share it with others and connect while doing it.

Stay Active. Joining a gym is a wonderful way to stay active while simultaneously meeting new people. Bring a friend as an accountability partner and use the time to build upon an existing relationship. If you'd prefer to stay closer to home, invite neighbors to join you on a leisurely stroll around the block.

Volunteer in the Community. Whether working at a food pantry, serving as a greeter at a local hospital, or helping at church – you can meet new people and form long-lasting relationships through volunteering. In addition to nonprofits, many local institutions like museums, zoos and other landmarks welcome older adults to apply for volunteer positions as welcoming guests or guides.

Continue Learning. You're never too old to benefit from learning something new. Explore continued learning opportunities hosted at local civic centers or community colleges. There is a variety of classes – from literature and history to cooking and painting.

There are many ways older adults can form meaningful connections with others, whether through joining a club, finding a new hobby or attending a class. Find something you enjoy that allows you to create new relationships and maintain current ones. These connections can help everyone, especially seniors, on the path to a happy and healthy life.

GreyCastle Security and iatricSystems have entered into a strategic relationship to combat the growing threat of cybersecurity in healthcare by delivering a complete suite of privacy and security solutions to their customers.

TROY, N.Y. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
GreyCastle Security, the industry's leading provider of risk assessment, mitigation, and certification-readiness services, and iatricSystems, Inc., a healthcare technology company dedicated to helping healthcare organizations enhance their IT investments, recently entered into a strategic relationship. By joining forces, iatricSystems and GreyCastle Security can now deliver, from start to finish, a complete suite of privacy and security solutions and support for those solutions to their customer base.
Cybersecurity is a growing concern in the healthcare industry. According to HIPAA Journal, the majority of companies are spending their budgets on network security and advanced technologies to increase the security of data transfers. However, the greatest challenge hospitals face is keeping up with the ever changing landscape of cybersecurity.
In addition to budget constrictions, 53 percent of surveyed healthcare firms revealed that the complexity of healthcare systems is the main reason they haven't upgraded security measures. iatricSystems and GreyCastle Security recognize that in order to create a robust security plan for hospitals, it often requires resources from multiple vendors and solution providers. By working together, iatricSystems and GreyCastle Security complete the legwork for their customers to find the best mix of solutions and providers.
"When it comes to a partnership that combines experiences in this competitive space, this relationship increases patient safety from a cybersecurity perspective," said GreyCastle Security's Director of Strategic Partnerships, Sean Phillips. "GreyCastle Security's risk-based approach to cybersecurity will help create the perfect blend of services to enable hospitals and health systems to increase the defensibility of their programs."
Working in tandem, iatricSystems offers the solutions to monitor patient privacy, secure remote access, and manage vendor risk, while GreyCastle Security completes risk assessments, builds incident response plans, prepares for OCR audits, and acts as an ongoing solution advisor.
"As hospitals implement new security solutions and checkpoints, cybercriminals are hard at work finding new ways to breach systems," said iatricSystems Executive Vice President Rob Rhodes. "That's why it is so important for hospitals to have partners that they can trust to put a good plan in place to protect themselves from breaches, meet regulatory requirements (i.e., HIPAA), and complete ongoing risk assessments."
With the continuous rise of security breaches, experts believe that, if not taken seriously, the healthcare sector could face a damaging financial impact and increased risk to patient safety in the next four to five years.The partnership between GreyCastle Security and iatricSystems is designed to strengthen security efforts and deliver peace of mind for healthcare organizations and their patients.
About GreyCastle Security 
GreyCastle Security is the industry's leading provider of cybersecurity risk assessment, advisory, and mitigation services. The company was established to help organizations establish effective cybersecurity programs, minimize the impact of security incidents, and simplify compliance.

At Care to Care, we guarantee that all providers will be speaking with an experienced and knowledgeable Radiologist during their peer to peer conversation, which assures that they know the values and limitations of the requested study.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
There are many reasons why Care to Care is a leader in its field of Radiology Benefit Management (RBM), but the service that truly raises us above our competitors is our true Peer to Peer process. At Care to Care, every physician reviewer and medical director is a board-certified Radiologist with years of clinical experience. We understand that it is impossible to create criteria to cover every clinical situation. This is why it is imperative that the referring provider is offered the opportunity to speak with a physician at least as knowledgeable as he or she, and to exchange clinical information efficiently and effectively.
Unlike most RBM companies, at Care to Care, we guarantee that all providers will be speaking with an experienced and knowledgeable Radiologist during their peer to peer conversation, which assures that they know the values and limitations of the requested study.
"When our physician reviewers speak with providers, the providers know they are speaking with a Radiologist," said Rachel Title, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Care to Care. "During my peer-to-peer conversations, providers frequently ask me general radiology questions and oftentimes end our conversation with, 'Thanks, that was really helpful!'".
No competitor can offer a level of service to compare! Care to Care's clinical matters are entirely physician controlled, physician friendly, and patient oriented. Our belief in the right test at the right time ensures better outcomes for all members.

San Diego skilled nursing facility recognized for performance in short-term rehabilitation

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
Reo Vista Healthcare Center has been recognized as a Best Nursing Home for 2019-20 by U.S. News & World Report. The home earned Best Nursing Homes status by achieving a rating of "High Performing," the highest possible rating, for Short-Term Rehabilitation. U.S. News gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to those homes that satisfy U.S. News's assessment of the appropriate use of key services and consistent performance in quality measures.
"Helping patients recover from a stroke, heart attack, or major surgery takes a great deal of expertise and coordination from multiple disciplines," said Curtis White, Administrator at Reo Vista Healthcare Center. "Our team gives their heart and soul to their patients daily and are incredibly proud to receive this distinction."
According to Census.gov, about 10,000 people per day are turning 65 creating a demographic shift often called the "gray tsunami." This shift will dramatically increase the demand for high-quality skilled nursing facilities like Reo Vista.
"For the aging population in America, a nursing home should meet the specific level of care based on the needs of each patient or resident," said Kim Castro, editor and chief content officer of U.S. News.
"The U.S. News Best Nursing Home ratings hone in on measurements like emergency room visits, quality of staff and proper distribution of medical and physical therapy to help families make an informed decision," she said. "These ratings help individuals and their families begin their search for senior care and should be used in consultation with a medical professional and in-depth on-site visits."
Now in its 10th year, the U.S. News Best Nursing Homes ratings and profiles offer comprehensive information about care, safety, health inspections, staffing and more for nearly all of the nation's 15,000-plus nursing homes. The Best Nursing Homes ratings reflect U.S. News' exclusive analysis of publicly available data using a methodology defined by U.S. News that evaluates factors that it has determined most greatly impact patient and resident care, safety, and outcomes.
About Reo Vista Healthcare Center
Reo Vista Healthcare Center is a 159-bed skilled nursing facility that delivers comprehensive, round-the-clock healthcare for patients in need of short-term rehabilitation or long-term care. Located in San Diego California, Reo Vista has been the recipient of some of the nation's most prestigious honors. Among the most recent include:

SureFire CPR, California's leading organization dedicated to educating people in first aid and other safety measures, is offering courses for hospital and other medical staff throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. Because hospital fire safety training is a requirement for medical practitioners like nurses, doctors, and other staff members, SureFire CPR designed a course that grants Hospital Fire Safety Cards—the city-required documentation that remains valid for four years.
The fire safety course can be brought into hospital spaces for onsite training or undertaken at the Los Angeles or Orange County SureFire CPR locations. Students enrolled in the course will learn how to control a hospital fire, how to execute proper patient rescue, how to handle various hospital fire protection systems and equipment, and how to evacuate a hospital safely. With SureFire CPR, students will be able to take lessons with experienced instructors in an outstanding learning environment—whether at the participants' own hospital or in SureFire CPR facilities.
"If you're required to take a hospital fire safety course, take it with the experienced instructors of SureFire CPR. They will not only allow you to earn your certifications, but they will be able to answer any questions that arise during the course," said Zack Zarrilli, Founder and Firefighter/ Paramedic. "Classes in Los Angeles and Orange County begin every week. Plus, SureFire CPR instructors can provide onsite training for any facility."
The Los Angeles Fire Department has approved all of SureFire CPR's hospital fire safety courses; they fulfill requirements as listed in the LA Fire Code. Because the course is required for all personnel who work in hospital settings in the City of Los Angeles—including skilled nursing facilities, psychiatric hospitals, clinics, and retirement homes—SureFire CPR is able to provide top-notch instructors who have experience in hospital settings.
The City of Los Angeles' certifications are due every two years for skilled nursing settings and four years for an acute care setting, which means that SureFire CPR keeps courses updated with the latest research and experience.

As part of the structural reorganization, Astro Pak appoints Todd Dean to the role of Chief Operating Officer.

COSTA MESA, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 11, 2020
As part of the structural reorganization announced by Astro Pak's president Ken Carroll in December, Todd Dean has been appointed to the role of Chief Operating Officer for the company. Mr. Dean had been previously serving as the company's Chief Financial Officer, a role he had held since joining the company in September of 2015. Prior to that, he had been a member of Astro Pak's board of directors for more than a decade. "As a board member I was captivated by Astro Pak's culture centered on meeting then exceeding their employee's and customer's expectations," Mr. Dean continued, " Coupling this culture with the very unique industry they work in was very intriguing so when given the option to join professionally, I jumped in."
Mr. Dean's professional career before joining Astro Pak can be described as both broad and diverse. He has been a CPA with KPMG, the Director of Finance for LG&E Energy and the COO of HomeWord, as well as the Executive Pastor of Coast Hills Community Church. Throughout that time, he has overseen large staffs and multiple departments, including accounting, finance, human resources and operations. As Astro Pak's CFO, Mr. Dean initially oversaw the finance and accounting departments. Soon afterwards, his portfolio expanded to cover corporate services, which included information technology, compliance, legal and human resources. In 2017, his responsibilities increased as he also took on oversight of Field Operations on a national level. With his new position, Cleanroom Services will join Field Operations under Mr. Dean's purview, uniting the company's two primary business units under a single leadership. To allow Mr. Dean to focus on his new role, Mr. Carroll has assumed control of the Accounting & Finance, IT, Legal and People & Culture departments.
"I'm extremely optimistic about Astro Pak and its future," Mr. Dean said. "I believe we're well positioned with the aerospace sector as they continue to grow as well as the ongoing opportunities with the food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries." He concludes, "We've assembled a very strong leadership team that will help guide the company as it continues its commitment to provide excellence to our customers."
