Blumark, a leading boutique financial service and tax advisory firm, announced that Blumark Partner James Clark CFP®, ChFC®, MBA; has been appointed to the Board of Directors of Rochester Outreach and Charity for Kids (ROCKit), of Rochester, Michigan.

“I was happy to accept the invitation to join the ROCKit Board because the organization’s mission is so closely aligned with my personal philosophy and the Blumark community service philosophy,” Clark said. “In my life, I work to achieve a balance between career, social activities and family. As a father of young children, I naturally gravitate toward organizations that serve children because it allows me to combine important aspects of my life.”

Clark explained that the organization is dedicated to creating a safer and helpful world for local children in need. He noted particularly its focus on literacy and well-being.

“ROCKit believes that every child should have a access to books,” he said. “In support of that, they collect new and gently used books to distribute to underprivileged children, so that they have age-appropriate reading material to help them develop the language skills needed for school readiness and for success in life – including achieving financial acumen as adults.

“The well-being of children is important too,” he added. “Children live and learn better when they’re properly clothed, so another part of the ROCKit mission is to provide free gently used clothing to children who need it.”

“We want to welcome James Clark to the Rochester Outreach and Charity for Kids Board as our Treasurer,” said James Blundo – Board President. “James has been instrumental in helping to organize and expand our existing programs as well as plan for future endeavors. His financial expertise adds to the diverse background of our Board members. We couldn’t be more excited to see what the future brings.”

The ROCKit mission and values also align with the Blumark philosophy of community service. Blumark does business by combining traditional values and innovative financial solutions. That dedication to traditional values extends to the communities where Blumark does business through support of local charities through annual Holiday Fundraiser campaigns. Blumark has assisted Giving Tree, Care House of Oakland County and the Live Like Max Foundation.

Focal Healthcare’s Fusion Bx 2.0 Targeted Prostate Biopsy Solution Receives CE Mark


Fusion Bx Prostate Fusion Biopsy

Fusion Bx 2.0

Now urologists throughout the EU will have access to our Fusion Bx – providing them with a targeted biopsy system that is accurate, and simple to learn and use.

Focal Healthcare, an innovator of image-guided prostate cancer technology, announced it has received CE Mark for its Fusion Bx 2.0 prostate fusion biopsy solution. By combining information from multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) with a semi-robotic arm and user-friendly interface, the Fusion Bx 2.0 will give urologists across Europe the ability to perform targeted transrectal and transperineal prostate biopsies.

Earlier this year, both the European Association of Urology (EAU) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) released updated guidelines that recommend the use of mpMRI prior to biopsy, followed by a targeted biopsy when the MRI is positive. This diagnostic pathway reduces the number of biopsies while increasing the likelihood of finding significant cancers. These recommendations highlight the important role played by MRI/Ultrasound fusion technology and the need for an accurate and accessible device such as the Fusion Bx 2.0.

“We are excited to receive the CE Mark as it greatly expands the market for our Fusion Bx,” said Chicuong La, CEO of Focal Healthcare. “The results from last year’s PRECISION trial has changed the way in which prostate cancer is being diagnosed in Europe. Now urologists throughout the EU will have access to our Fusion Bx – providing them with a targeted biopsy system that is accurate, and simple to learn and use. This will make it easier for clinics and hospitals of all sizes to adopt the new guidelines.”

Focal Healthcare’s Fusion Bx 2.0 provides urologists with the ability to perform both transrectal and transperineal biopsies using a simple and intuitive interface. Fusion Bx 2.0 features:


  • A semi-robotic arm that keeps the probe steady to ensure consistent pressure on the prostate, limiting movement and deformation, thereby leading to increased accuracy
  • A 3D model that allows the urologist to visualize the prostate and MRI targets in real-time to guide the biopsy needle to the regions of interest
  • Automatic motion compensation which adjusts for patient movement to maintain image registration, allowing procedures to continue uninterrupted
  • A step-by-step guided workflow combined with semi-automatic segmentation that enables urologists to perform procedures in less time and with minimal training

Fusion Bx 2.0 will be available to European physicians through distribution. Fusion Bx 2.0 is also cleared for sale in Canada, USA and Taiwan. For more information, contact Focal Healthcare at sales@focalhealthcare.com.

About Focal Healthcare Inc.

Focal Healthcare is a Canadian-based medical device company committed to improving the lives of prostate cancer patients and their families through technical innovation. By developing imaging tools that emphasize accuracy, efficiency and accessibility, Focal Healthcare strives to advance prostate cancer diagnosis and management in clinics and hospitals of all sizes.

Sedation Dentistry of Charleston Provides Virtually Painless Dentistry to Charleston, SC with IV Sedation


Dr. Robert Carimi, Sedation Dentist in Charleston, SC

Dr. Robert Carimi Provides Virtually Painless Dentistry through IV Sedation in Charleston, SC

IV sedation offers complete relaxation, helping patients feel as though they slept through the entire visit.

Dr. Robert Carimi of Sedation Dentistry of Charleston helps ease patient dental anxiety and achieve nearly painless dentistry through IV sedation. Because administration requires additional training, many general dentists do not become certified to offer sedation dentistry. However, Dr. Carimi has undergone extensive hospital training to receive the certification needed to administer IV sedation at his Charleston, SC practice. Additionally, he and his team regularly attend continuing education courses to stay at the leading edge of sedation dentistry.

Dental anxiety causes millions of Americans to avoid visits to the dentist, often for years at a time. Dental anxiety can arise from a variety of concerns, including worries of pain or a negative previous dental experience. IV sedation provides significant relief for patients who experience dental anxiety.

Delivered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation works quickly. It leaves patients with little to no memory of the procedure, allowing patients to experience virtually painless dentistry. Because it is administered intravenously, Dr. Carimi can administer other medication through the IV as well when needed. IV sedation offers complete relaxation, helping patients feel as though they slept through the entire visit. After IV sedation, patients will require a ride home to ensure their complete safety.

Dr. Carimi works carefully with every patient to confirm that they are suitable for IV sedation before moving forward. If IV sedation is not the best option, he offers additional sedation dentistry options such as oral sedation and nitrous oxide.

Those looking to experience painless dentistry in Charleston, SC or surrounding areas are welcome to contact Sedation Dentistry of Charleston. To schedule an IV sedation appointment with Dr. Carimi, visit http://www.sedationdentistrycharleston.com or call the office at 843-471-1677.
