Dr. Spencer spent four years at Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX to repay his year-for-year Army scholarship. He served all four years as an Army dentist and took over the continuing education courses taught there.

FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB)

The State Farm campus on Monocacy Boulevard in Frederick will soon to be buzzing with activity again thanks to Fitzgerald Realty Group’s assistance in helping Frederick Memorial Healthcare Systems (known locally as simply Frederick Health) acquire the site.

The newly named Frederick Health Village will allow Frederick Health to move its call center, home health care services and hospice, among other administrative offices to the site plus plan for further expansion in the future.

Frederick Health Hospital will not be moving from its location in downtown Frederick, but will gain some “breathing room” with the relocation of those units. Next year, the hospital plans to expand its cardiac catheter lab and upgrade both the ER and intensive care unit.

“This is a win-win for Frederick Health and the greater Frederick community,” said Jim Fitzgerald, Founder & President of Fitzgerald Realty Group who was directly involved in the negotiations. “Not only was this a smart business decision, it gives Frederick Health the opportunity to expand and refine its services to meet the growing health care needs of the local community far into the future,” he added.

“This was a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Frederick Health to acquire an institutional class asset in the rapidly growing north end of Frederick,” said Seamus Fitzgerald, Executive Vice President of Fitzgerald Realty Group.

Building off the success of a 100 year-long tradition, American Trust Retirement is a brand that illustrates the real representation of small to mid-sized businesses in America that have fueled this country and now deserve better retirement outcomes.

Following on the acquisitions of First Mercantile Trust and American Trust Retirement, EdgeCo Holdings, the parent company, embarked on a course to build a recognizable brand for its full-service record-keeping business.

“Our vision was to create a destination for Advisors and Third-Party Administrators (“TPAs”) to engage an authentic partner who will help their small to mid-sized businesses create a better retirement outcome,” says John Moody, CEO of EdgeCo Holdings.

This rebranding effort was coupled with a consolidation of recordkeeping software between the companies which will create a better experience for Advisors, TPAs, plan sponsors, and participants that are collectively serviced by American Trust Retirement. This was successfully completed in October of this year.

“Bringing together not only the technology, but most importantly the expertise of our talented staff in our various locations under one brand was an important step in our commitment to growth in the marketplace,” says Micah DiSalvo, Chief Revenue Officer for American Trust Retirement.

Behind the brand comes a Bill of Rights that promises to deliver to its Advisors and TPAs the following:

  • We will help you build your business, not take your business.

  • We will not overshadow your brand.

  • We will provide custom plan design expertise to help you win more business.

  • We will help you change the dialogue with plan sponsors.

  • We will show you how to grow your business beyond the plan.

  • We will always have your back.


“Having dedicated 35 years to this business, it is exciting to see this level of commitment to growth through a meaningful re-branding and investment into our platform. I see the engagement in our employees, TPAs, advisors and shared clients, which creates a renewed enthusiasm in our mission to create better retirement outcomes,” stated Phil Maness, Vice President of Client Management for First Mercantile Trust, now American Trust Retirement.

Dog Portrait Project Helps People with Dementia and Their Families Honor Alzheimer’s Awareness Month with Doggies for Dementia Photographs

Leave a comment


Doggies for Dementia with Judy and Maggie Moo

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for families to experience the photo session, receive compassionate photos, and raise awareness for Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias. Families become advocates and love knowing they help others,” Davailus says.


AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

Doggies for Dementia is a program that raises awareness for Alzheimer’s Disease and gifts special photo sessions to those impacted by Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias. The program founder, Carmen Davailus recognized the power of images to change the world after witnessing the isolation, loneliness, and stigma of dementia.

Photo Shoot Media Availability Interview Opportunities: Photographer Carmen Davailus (Buck), 95-year-old Carol Joyce Burns who has Dementia, Carol’s family and caregivers

Interview Opportunities: Photographer Carmen Davailus (Buck), 95-year-old Carol Joyce Burns who has Dementia, Carol’s family and caregivers

Photo/Video Opportunities: Premier of video/slideshow of Carol and her family’s session in the theater (surprise for Carol)

Date: November 15, 2019

Time: 3:30 pm

Free Doggies for Dementia Photo Shoots Provide Comfort and Ease Loneliness

Photographer Carmen Davailus Buck combines pet therapy and portrait therapy to bring peace to people who have dementia and their families. “A professional portrait of a loved one gives families something special to hold on to as they cope with a devastating illness,” she said. Davailus, a Texas native, has traveled all over the country to do these free portrait sessions. She noted, “My goal is to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s and other dementia diagnoses everywhere in America.”

While portraits capture precious memories, it can be uncomfortable or unnerving for someone with Alzheimer’s Disease to sit for a photo shoot, especially with a photographer they don’t know. Carmen removes roadblocks by inviting dogs into the portrait sessions. “This allows me to capture people in natural and spontaneous situations,” said Davailus. “A dog brings out their personalities in such a beautiful way that the portraits often move families to tears. They become treasured family keepsakes.” Davailus became passionate about helping people with Alzheimer’s Disease during four decades as a nurse practitioner. She noticed many patients and their families suffered from loneliness and isolation and wanted to find a way to bring them some joy. She knows that families dealing with dementia are often financially strapped. So, she never charges for her Doggies and Dementia portraits. She noted, “The program is designed to gift the family photos and an experience that they wouldn’t normally have.”

Community Support Needed to Continue the Program: The photographer relies on corporate sponsorships to offset the costs involved. So far, she has worked with skincare company Rodan and Fields and The Legacy at Georgetown Senior Living Center. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to help an individual and to help raise awareness for Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias,” she said.

About Carmen Davailus (Buck): Carmen Davailus Buck is an Austin-based photographer and former nurse practitioner who has extensive experience supporting people who have Alzheimer’s Disease. During four decades working in healthcare, she helped thousands of people who had dementia. They inspired her to write her award-winning book, Just See Me – Sacred Stories from the Other Side of Dementia.

Jerry Kaulius – Founder & Chairman
at JK Design

“It takes someone with a rare combination of talent, vision, and determination to build a business from the ground up, and make it a success for more than three decades,” said Martha Marchesi, CEO of JK Design.


HILLSBOROUGH, N.J. (PRWEB)

Creative marketing agency JK Design announced that founder and Chairman Jerry Kaulius has been named to the Advertising Hall of Fame of New Jersey. He will be honored along with three other inductees at a ceremony and dinner at the Highlawn Pavilion in West Orange on November 7.

Sponsored by the New Jersey Advertising Club, the Advertising Hall of Fame of New Jersey was founded in 1981 to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the creative and economic values of the advertising industry in the state.

This year’s nominees were evaluated on eight criteria: leadership, creativity, professional integrity, professional history, philanthropic activity, economic contributions, achievement of national significance, and personal efforts to advance New Jersey’s position in the national advertising community.

Kaulius founded JK Design in 1985 with his wife, Vice Chair Barbara Kaulius, from their home in Edison. The agency has grown to include a multidisciplinary team of more than 50 and is now headquartered in Hillsborough, with satellite offices in New Brunswick and New York City. Its client roster includes Philips Lighting, Marco’s Pizza, Quest Diagnostics, Ricoh, and Priceline, among many other major brands.

Kaulius’ design work has received national distinction in such publications as Print magazine and Graphic Design USA; his creative direction has also been honored with Telly, MarCom, Communicator, Hermes, Jersey, and other awards.

“It takes someone with a rare combination of talent, vision, and determination to build a business from the ground up, and make it a success for more than three decades,” said Martha Marchesi, CEO of JK Design. “Jerry has consistently seen where our clients’ needs were headed, and put together the right people and capabilities to meet them—creating a collaborative culture where every project is a new opportunity to go above and beyond.

“This is a well-deserved recognition of his creative thinking, professional integrity, and unwavering dedication to his clients, his community, and his employees.”

The nomination also highlighted Kaulius’ charitable work—including the agency’s “JK Gives Back” volunteer program and longtime pro bono support of New Brunswick-based Embrace Kids Foundation—and his commitment to nurturing New Jersey’s advertising talent through scholarships and other opportunities.

“I feel incredibly lucky to have turned my passion for drawing into a lifelong career, and to have had the chance to inspire other people’s creativity even as they’ve inspired me,” said Kaulius.

“I’m thankful for this fantastic honor—and grateful to my JK family for helping me achieve it.”
