Dr. Gabrielle B. Davis

Her philosophy is that while aging is a normal process of life and scientifically we can not stop the process, we can definitely redefine the concept of “aging gracefully.”

Gabrielle B. Davis, MD is a practicing Plastic Surgeon in Beverly Hills. Dr. Davis redefines aesthetic medicine by implementing her unique research background in tissue regeneration into her medical practice to reduce the effects of aging on the body. Dr. Davis graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Houston with a degree in Biochemistry and minors in Chemistry and Spanish. Her academic achievement led her to be awarded as the student commencement speaker for the university. She went on to obtain her medical degree at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas, and subsequently relocated to Los Angeles to complete General Surgery training at the University of Southern California. During her General Surgery training, she was awarded a competitive 3- year research fellowship through the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine. The focus of her research was investigating the regenerative properties of stem cells derived from fat on tissue injury. She was awarded by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons the “Young Researcher Award” in Geneva, Switzerland for her research.

Upon completion at USC, she attended the prestigious Stanford University Plastic Surgery Program. At Stanford, she authored book chapters and peer-reviewed publications. She was also fortunate to become involved in ReSurge International, a humanitarian organization, founded by a former chair of the program. ReSurge International’s mission is to educate and empower physicians in developing countries to improve their medical infrastructure to create sustainable, high-quality surgical care. Dr. Davis was a member of the first team to travel to Cuba to establish an ongoing relationship with the teaching hospital in Havana.

After completion at Stanford, she traveled abroad to complete aesthetic fellowships in France and Spain. Dr. Davis’ mission is to create natural-appearing results implementing scientific principles of aging with the sound surgical technique. Her philosophy is that while aging is a normal process of life and scientifically we can not stop the process, we can definitely redefine the concept of “aging gracefully.” Dr. Davis was recently featured on Medium and Thrive Global, in their SHEROS series, recognizing distinguished women of influence in their respective fields.

“The passing of this bill directly addresses the lack of access to startup capital and operational resources that has resulted in insufficient diversity in ownership throughout the cannabis industry here in New Jersey,” said State Senator Troy Singleton.

TIMONIUM, Md. (PRWEB)
November 03, 2021

Curio Wellness, a cGMP-certified, vertically integrated medical cannabis company, announced the passage of New Jersey Senate Bill 2875 as signed by Governor Phil Murphy. The bill, which was passed on October 18, 2021, revises restrictions on ownership of medical cannabis alternative treatment centers and expands the scope of review of alternative treatment center permit applications and related materials.

Curio Wellness initiated the drafting and passage of the legislation, allowing the company to bring its Curio Wellness Investment Fund (the Fund) to the Garden State, which will expand medical cannabis dispensary licensees to diverse entrepreneurs entering the market.

The legislation was sponsored and championed by Senator Troy Singleton in collaboration with Curio Wellness.

“The passing of this bill directly addresses the lack of access to startup capital and operational resources that has resulted in insufficient diversity in ownership throughout the cannabis industry here in New Jersey,” said State Senator Troy Singleton. “We’re excited about the significant impact of this social equity program model and its ability to bring real economic empowerment among groups that are typically overlooked by investors.”

As stated in Governor Phil Murphy’s signing statement accompanying the legislation, “I applaud the bill’s sponsors for seeking to address what can be a major impediment to some prospective cannabis business owners: accessing the capital necessary to start and sustain their businesses. This bill will not only enable investors to support multiple businesses, but will also allow new entrepreneurs who have been historically underrepresented as business owners in the nation’s regulated cannabis industries to receive capital, training, and assistance in running a successful business.”

Announced in December 2020, the Curio Wellness Investment Fund aims to strengthen diversity and inclusion across the cannabis industry. In addition to anyone from a qualified state being able to apply to become a franchisee, the Fund also provides women, minorities and disabled veterans the opportunity to apply for startup capital and operational infrastructure, which sets these entrepreneurs on a three-year path to 100% ownership. The Fund’s goal is to provide up to 50 eligible applicants with the capital needed to open and operate a Curio Wellness franchise.

“The passage of Senate Bill 2875 is a real game changer for Black and other businesses seeking to participate equitably in the multi-billion-dollar medical cannabis industry,” said John E. Harmon, Sr., President and CEO of the African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey and former chairman of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. “Raising the requisite amount of capital to participate in this growth industry has been a barrier for many whom desired to take part. Thanks to the leadership of New Jersey legislature and Governor Murphy, more New Jersey businesses will have access to the many opportunities available in the medical cannabis industry.”

Under the new legislation, the Fund can provide up to 92% of the required capital to open and operate a Far & Dotter franchised dispensary to 7 licensees who qualify in New Jersey.

“This has been a long but important effort to bring our fund opportunity to the state of New Jersey through the passing of this bill,” said Jerel Registre, managing director of the Fund. “With a new round of cannabis dispensary licensees soon to be awarded, we hope to showcase the significance of the franchising opportunity and economic resources as a true testament to Curio’s dedication to support aspiring and diverse entrepreneurs in the industry. Our hope is that other states feel inspired to move forward on similar social equity provisions that create an equitable cannabis licensing program.”

New Technology being used in Assisted Living Community

The robot is a great asset to the community and dietary team, as it doesn’t replace anyone but adds to the quality of service.

OTTAWA, Ill. (PRWEB)
November 03, 2021

Heritage Woods of Ottawa is pioneering innovative technology in senior living with their new robot! This new robotic friend will provide enhanced engagement for residents and staff during the dining experience. Residents will soon be hosting a contest to come up with a name for the new dietary team member. This robot is a “runner”, so it will shuttle food from the kitchen to the residents. It’s helpful because dietary staff can remain in the dining room and interact with residents.

The robot works in the kitchen and dining rooms by sensors that are in four zones on the ceiling that are invisible to the naked eye. The dining room is mapped out for the robot, and it stops in the zone of the table’s location. It is on a timer, so when the time is up it returns to the kitchen. Also, if the robot needs more time to deliver the food you need to touch the screen to say that. There is a touch screen with the zones and activity right on the robot. It is very user friendly.

The cooks like the addition of the robot because the food gets delivered as soon as it’s plated, which improves the service time. The robot has three shelves on it so that many tables and residents can be served at once, saving time and steps for the team members. They noticed that the cycle of food service is going very smoothly between beverages, order taking, and order delivery.

The screen on the robot can be programmed with pictures as well. Currently it has a picture of the front of the building but will add pictures of entrees and other dishes. The administrator at Heritage Woods of Ottawa, Peggy Morgan, says, “We will be using it to sing happy birthday to residents, I believe our next birthday is on November 3rd, so we will have to take a video then!”

Residents have been enjoying this new concept. They, of course, have many questions about the robot, and it has provided them with great entertainment. The robot sings, talks, and dances! It’s a great tool to the residents to have in their community.

Heritage Woods of Ottawa is the first Assisted Living/Senior care facility that RichTech Robotics has used. They have used them in restaurants before, but not for Senior Care until now. The robot is a great asset to the community and dietary team, as it doesn’t replace anyone but adds to the quality of service.

David Dykeman to Present Webinar on Infection Prevention for Medical Products
