MCDONOUGH, Ga. (PRWEB)

Jean Barrett Groves, who has worked to help others with disabilities learn how to live and work independently in their communities, has completed her new book “Touch Me! I’m for Real”: an emotional work that unveils her experience as an African American woman with dual disabilities. In a deeply personal way, she attempts to put others in touch with what it feels like to be her.

Jean writes, “I summoned whatever I had in me, used my ghetto beginnings to push against, and then propelled forward. I completed my education, developed a teaching career in the NYC public schools, and bought a house. I felt like I was finally “somebody.” A health issue came along and gave me a one-two punch. I became unable to walk and speak. I had to climb back up to acceptance and respectability and achieve normalcy. I asked myself, could I find a voice and still make a difference? This book is how I answered that. It is a story about finding strength, hope, and a higher quality of life.”

Published by Page Publishing, Jean Barrett Groves’ inspirational tale hopes to give insight to someone walking where she’s been, or desiring greater social awareness and sensitivity.

Retracing her family’s journey, she shares what she’s been through and what she gained. She traces her spiritual pilgrimage also and recounts the blessings God bestowed on her beginning with the legacy of faith left by her elders. She believes old-time religion can still help people to overcome in these changing times.

Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase “Touch Me! I’m for Real” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Jefferson Health and Quick’rCare Pioneer Decision Making for Immediate Care

Leave a comment


“This is what people who feel bad need right now, right when they begin to feel sick,” said Stephen K. Klasko, MD, president of Thomas Jefferson University and CEO of Jefferson Health. “Working with Quick’rCare allows us to expand our commitment to healthcare with no address.”


PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB)

“By collaborating with the stellar team at Jefferson Health, we now have the medical and operational expertise to support our efforts in the creation of a world-class patient experience,” says Alex Guastella, CEO of Quick’rCare.

Jefferson Health has developed innovative techniques throughout its health system to better support the residents of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Combined with Quick’rCare, Jefferson will immediately be able to give patients the ability to decide between getting care in an emergency room or urgent care center or making a reservation to avoid a wait. Next, the collaboration will design and deploy an interface to help decide the best type of visit based on the patient’s needs.

After validation of the new collaborated process, Jefferson Health will offer JeffConnect video visits as an alternative form of care through Quick’rCare. “The ability to provide our community with personalized care tailored to their specific medical needs, location and preferences while eliminating waiting time represents a wonderful patient-centered advance,” said Dr. Judd Hollander, Jefferson Health’s senior vice president of healthcare delivery innovation.

“This is what people who feel bad need right now, right when they begin to feel sick,” said Stephen K. Klasko, MD, president of Thomas Jefferson University and CEO of Jefferson Health. “Working with Quick’rCare allows us to expand our commitment to healthcare with no address.”

A key element of the new strategy is simplicity. This collaboration will use LEAN methodologies to enhance the patient experience and not confuse sick patients with hard-to-understand technology. “Technology can become extremely cumbersome to patients and providers. Quick’rCare has prided itself on staying simple to use and understand. After spending many months with the Jefferson team, our technology thinking aligns well,” says Raghu Dhulipala, CTO of Quick’rCare.

About Quick’rCare

In 2016, entrepreneurs Alex Guastella and Raghu Dhulipala joined forces to solve digital problems that sick patients face every day. Through much deliberation, Quick’rCare was created to be a guidance platform that will help the 145 million people who end up in the emergency room every year. Since its inception, Quick’rCare has helped over a million patients, added over 20 team members, and brought on great investors. Whether it is through the technology created or the volunteer hours served, the people behind Quick’rCare have a mantra of always doing good for others.

About Jefferson Health

Jefferson Health, home of Sidney Kimmel Medical College, is reimagining health care in the greater Philadelphia region and southern New Jersey. Jefferson’s dedicated team of doctors, nurses, health professionals and staff provides a range of primary to highly-specialized care through 14 hospitals (seven are Magnet®-designated by the ANCC for nursing excellence), more than 40 outpatient and urgent care locations, the NCI-designated Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, Magee Rehabilitation and the JeffConnect® telemedicine program.

Weight Loss Surgery and a Bride Who Can Finally Wear Her Dream Wedding Dress Highlight Long Term Benefits, says Dr. Feiz & Associates

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Dreams can come true with a lot of work and, in some cases, with a little bit of surgical assistance.

While patients still have to work hard to change their lifestyles, without the constant hormonally-induced cravings for food, attaining and sustaining substantial weight loss becomes a great deal easier.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

An October 21 article on Yahoo Lifestyle reported on a New York woman who was able to lose 185 pounds through weight loss surgery and who has been able to maintain that loss since 2005. The woman spoke about her past struggle with severe obesity, from experiencing knee pain when she walked to being too large to wear the dress she’d always hoped to wear on her wedding day. Fourteen years later and several dress sizes smaller, the article reports that she is finally able to wear a dream dress as she prepares to renew her vows with her husband. Los Angeles-based weight loss surgery specialists Dr. Feiz & Associates notes that bariatric surgery is making these kinds of stories a great deal more common.

Dr. Feiz & Associates comments that, for those struggling with obesity, losing the weight is very hard but that’s not the only problem. It’s keeping the weight off and maintaining the new weight that is typically even far more challenging. The clinic explains that, while it is sometimes possible to slim down naturally through diet, exercise and strong self-discipline, success is short-lived in the large majority of cases. The clinic says that the body is wired to fight anything it deems a potential threat, including substantial weight loss which it takes as a sign of imminent famine. So, production of the hormone responsible for the nagging feelings of hunger that make weight loss so difficult – already present in larger amounts in overweight and obese people – goes into overdrive. Plagued by ever-increasing cravings which feel exactly like hunger, the clinic says that it’s no wonder why the vast majority of people who attempt to defeat obesity on their own eventually backslide and regain all of the weight that they have worked so to get rid of – sometimes with a few extra pounds attached.

What a weight loss procedure such as a sleeve gastrectomy does is reduce the size of the stomach, says Dr. Feiz & Associates. By removing a significant portion of the stomach, individuals are discouraged from overeating as it becomes uncomfortable, decreasing their appetite – but that’s only part of the story. In the process of reducing the size of the stomach, production of the primary hormone associated with hunger, called ghrelin, is also reduced substantially. The clinic notes that patients still have to work hard to change their lifestyles but, without the constant hormonally-induced cravings for food, attaining and sustaining substantial weight loss becomes a great deal easier.

Interested readers who would like to know more about Dr. Feiz & Associates and weight loss offerings can call 310-855-8058 or visit the clinic’s website at https://www.drfeiz.com.
