Though Sarah holds many records in open water swimming, in her words, she doesn’t swim to “be the first.” She swims large bodies of water because she loves seeing the beauty in each corner of the world.
“After my first visit to the Hoover Dam in February 2021, I knew I had to swim across Lake Mead,” said Sarah. “Water levels in the lake are in danger of dropping so low that a swim may not always be possible across this beautiful and important body of water.”
Sarah’s swim across Lake Mead will start in South Cove, where her favorite river, The Colorado, enters the lake. She will then follow the lake 50 miles until she runs out of water at the Hoover Dam.
Sarah hopes to raise money for Swim Across America through her monumental swims.
“I was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer in 2017 at the age of 35,” said Sarah. “It was a terrifying time and we didn’t know how much my treatments would impact my ability to swim in the future. Being able to partner with Swim Across America combines two of my passions: open water swimming and doing everything I can to fight cancer so that others won’t have to go through what I went through.”
Sarah has supported Swim Across America since 2018, when the inaugural Swim Across America – Denver swim was held in her home community. As a breast cancer survivor, she hopes to raise money for cancer research and bring hope and new treatment options to others.
“Cancer treatments tested me in a way I never thought possible,” noted Sarah. “Despite undergoing chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy, I never gave up on my dream of doing a swim that most people thought was impossible.”
A year after completing treatments, she did the impossible – becoming the first person to complete a four-way crossing of the English Channel.
Swim Across America was founded in 1987 with its first open water event in Long Island Sound. Since that time, the nonprofit organization has raised more than $100 million to fight cancer. In its 36 years of “making waves to fight cancer,” more than 100,000 swimmers and 150 Olympians have swum the circumference of the earth three times, uniting a movement to fight cancer that has created a groundswell of support spanning all generations. Today, more than 24 communities hold open water swims and charity pool swims each year, from Nantucket to under the Golden Gate Bridge, which support innovative cancer research, detection and patient programs.
Swim Across America’s funding of clinical trials for patients helped contribute to four FDA approved life-saving immunotherapy cancer treatments: Yervoy, Opdivo, Tecentriq and Keytruda. In June of last year, a clinical trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering was published in The New England Journal of Medicine that showed a 100 percent success rate in treating patients in a phase 2 clinical trial for advanced rectal cancer with dostarlimab, an immunotherapy treatment produced by GlaxoSmithKline. The clinical trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering was funded by early-stage grant funding from Swim Across America. More than 60 scientific grants are funded each year and there are now ten dedicated Swim Across America Labs at major institutions including: Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, John Hopkins Medicine Baltimore, Rush University Medical Center Chicago, Baylor Scott & White Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center in Dallas, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center New York, Infusion Center at Nantucket Cottage Hospital, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland and San Francisco, the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, The Swim Across America Pediatric Research Lab at Columbia University Medical Center New York, and at Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Swim Across America, Inc. (SAA) is dedicated to raising money and awareness for cancer research, prevention and treatment through swimming-related events. With the help of hundreds of volunteers nationwide and past and current Olympians, Swim Across America is helping find a cure for cancer through athleticism, community outreach and direct service.

“As lifelong learners, educators know that continued student growth depends upon supporting the professional growth of teachers,” said Don Rescigno, managing director of Teaching Channel. “We’re proud to offer a comprehensive platform dedicated to teachers’ growth—and the mentors, coaches, and leaders who support them—that is as robust as their commitment to student success.”
The new platform’s Resource Center offers the Teaching Channel Library of more than 1,600 exemplar videos, along with supporting materials to help educators observe and learn teaching strategies, instructional coaching techniques, and leadership lessons. Educators can create playlists, identify favorite videos, or access playlists curated by the Teaching Channel team. An institution can also use its own Account Library to collect and upload exemplar videos, links, lesson plans, and other resources.
The Teaching Channel Platform’s Activity Center is one central location where educators:
“Educators are busy working to prepare students for an ever-changing future,” said Mike Smith, president of Teaching Channel. “Their time is too valuable to spend finding the right materials and tools to enable their own professional growth. That’s why we’ve created a platform to provide the resources they need to coordinate and pursue professional development throughout their school or district.”
The platform’s extensive array of tools also empowers educators to:
The Resource and Activity Centers are designed to work together to support a wide range of stakeholders. Recording and sharing PLC meetings allows district-level personnel to improve district alignment to ensure efficacy and alignment with goals. The Teaching Channel Platform also helps coaches and administrators develop their own capacity and leadership skills, and supports administrators in performing formal or informal observations by reviewing videos teachers have created and uploaded to the platform. Lead teachers are able to create sample video lessons for distribution through the resource center to inform the lessons other teachers will share through platform workflows.
A dashboard allows all of these users to easily see recent statistics, access updates and to-dos, view updates to the Teaching Channel video library, and receive notifications. Reports for both administrators and individual educators provide rich data on general usage, videos watched, educator growth, and calibration and educator growth over time.
“Our district has seen clear and measurable benefits from the use of video coaching and exemplar videos,” said Dr. Errick L. Green, the superintendent of Jackson (Mississippi) Public Schools, under whose leadership the district has improved two letter grades on the state’s accountability system. “It’s helping our teachers and instructional leaders to improve their practice, which is leading to improved student outcomes. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Teaching Channel.”
Additional features will be released throughout the 2023–2024 school year. More information and the opportunity to demo the Teaching Channel Platform are available at TeachingChannel.com.

“in a digital era of electronic health records (EHRs) and patient portals, patient identification proves increasingly complex,” stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. “Effective information governance can improve accuracy while addressing common risks and challenges.”
Below are a few excerpts from the article, “Patient Identification Crucial to Patient Safety and Quality Healthcare.”
“For example, when registering a patient with heart complications, a hospital employee found two patient records associated with the same EHR. Assuming one of the records was a mistake, they ignored it. However, two records for patients with the same name and similar birthdates had been mistakenly merged into the same EHR.”
“Not realizing the mistake, the hospital prescribed medication based on the second patient’s information. Because they did not properly verify patient identity, the patient receiving the medication suffered a life-threatening allergic reaction. The problem would have been avoided with proper patient verification and matching.”
Prevent Errors with Standardized Processes and Training
“To begin with, healthcare organizations must define and enforce standardized policies and procedures around patient registration and EHR management. This includes collecting and updating data. It also includes the processes around resolving duplicates, as well as protecting and sharing information.”
Improve Access Management
“It also includes authentication processes to verify the identity of anyone accessing the EHR. Laws like the Cures Act mandate that healthcare entities facilitate the access and exchange of electronic health information (EHI). To balance access with advanced data security, however, systems need to definitively verify that those who access EHI are who they claim to be.”
Information Governance Experts
By providing a framework for managing information throughout its lifecycle, information governance helps healthcare organizations ensure data quality, security, and compliance. Implementing an effective information governance strategy requires blending policies and practices with technology and training. Providers should contact the information governance experts at Messaging Architects to start gaining control of critical patient data.

“The Trevor Project provides lifesaving resources and support for LGBTQIA+ youth and is an advocacy program that is dear to our hearts at GumGum,” said GumGum CEO, Phil Schraeder. “We are seeing tremendous success with brands using our new in-video ad units to capture consumer attention. The ad appears directly in the content they came to consume, therefore not triggering a commercial break check-out but attention and acknowledgment of the ad.

Speaking about the initial success of the campaign, Abie Peacock (she/her), Senior Director of Integrated Marketing at The Trevor Project said, “We’re thrilled that The Trevor Project’s life-saving work is resonating with the campaign’s audiences. LGBTQ young people need support now as much as ever, especially as we’ve seen a record number of anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in states across the country this year. Through this campaign, we’ve been able to reach new target audiences who are moved to take action in support of our mission to end suicide among LGBTQ young people.”
GumGum’s In-Video unit provides a way for advertisers to seamlessly connect with consumers without disrupting the viewing experience and extend reach utilizing existing creative for display ad units.
