Joliet Oral Surgeon Dr. James Babiuk To Discuss Opioid Addiction and Dentistry

Leave a comment


“I developed TheWisdomToothDoc™ Technique in 2017 so that patients can have their wisdom teeth removed without opioids while experiencing as little pain, stress and recovery time possible,” states Dr. Babiuk. “Alone, I can only make a small difference in my local community, but if my fellow dentists and oral surgeons join forces across the country, we can help stop America’s opioid crisis from growing. I look forward to discussing this during my presentation.”

Dr. Babiuk is scheduled to be the fourth speaker on Friday, October 13, 2023, at the Action To Win Business Growth Summit in Chicago, Illinois. To learn more, visit https://actiontowin.com/bgs-oct-23.

Author of “What Every Parent of an Adolescent Needs to Know About Opioids,” one of the country’s best oral and maxillofacial surgeons and a Cook County Hospital instructor with over 25 years of expertise in private practice and anesthesia, Dr. Babiuk has removed over 234,737 teeth and counting. His offices in Joliet and Ottawa, Illinois use the safest techniques available based on a patient’s health history, state-of-art 3D scans, anatomy, and a pre-anesthetic evaluation, and offer immediate access to an onsite pharmacy and the appropriate follow-up care.

AmeriCare Medical Inc. Advances its Commitment to Health Equity and Inclusion for All Patients

Leave a comment


“At AmeriCare, our fundamental belief is that every one of our patients should have an equal opportunity to access the highest quality healthcare, regardless of their race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, geographic location, preferred language, or any other factors that may affect their access to care and health outcomes. Health equity, for us, signifies ensuring that every one of our patients has a fair and just chance to achieve their optimum level of health and well-being,” said Greg Jamian, AmeriCare Medical Inc. President and CEO.

With accounts of disparities within the healthcare sector, Jamian recognizes the urgency to address these concerns head-on within the network of companies of AmeriCare.

Jamian, a Board Member of the School of Nursing at Oakland University, met with Dr. Christopher Coleman, Ph.D., the Dean of Oakland University’s Nursing School, who is actively involved in the Big Ten Schools’ Diversity Initiative and has conducted extensive research on health disparities. This resulted in helping Jamian establish a research-informed health equity initiative that complies with the standards recognized by most of academia.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, individuals from marginalized communities are exposed disproportionately to conditions and environments that negatively affect health risks and outcomes and lead to higher rates of health disparities.

AmeriCare Medical Inc. aims to set a precedent within the home healthcare industry, encouraging others to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion as essential components of quality patient care.

“For he who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything,” said Jamian.

About AmeriCare Medical, Inc.
For more than four decades AmeriCare Medical, Inc. has provided integrated healthcare services to hospitals, assisted care facilities, and private homes throughout Michigan. AmeriCare Medical, Inc. is accredited by the Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP) for high standards of excellence in medical staffing, private duty nursing, durable medical equipment, and specialized pharmacy services.
