Kansas City University College of Dental Medicine Nears $30M in Fundraising

KCU College of Dental Medicine rendering

“The four-state area faces an oral health care crisis and a troubling shortage of dentists. Through this new college of dental medicine, we hope to expand access to oral health care for those who need it most.”


KANSAS CITY, Mo. (PRWEB)

In just four months since announcing plans for a new College of Dental Medicine (CDM) on its Joplin, Mo., campus, Kansas City University (KCU) has now secured three-quarters of its $40 million philanthropic goal. This fundraising includes a recently announced pledge of $10 million from the Joplin Regional Medical School Alliance (JRMSA); a $10 million gift from Harry M. Cornell; a $6 million gift from The Sunderland Foundation; and gifts from Neosho banker Rudy Farber, The Farber Foundation and Larry McIntire, DO. Additionally, the University Board of Trustees has committed $40 million towards the $80 million project. The KCU College of Dental Medicine will provide an opportunity to educate dental students to meet the critical oral health-care needs in the surrounding underserved region of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

“KCU is proud to have reached this milestone so quickly and is grateful to these generous benefactors for their support of this important effort,” said Marc B. Hahn, DO, president and CEO of KCU. “The four-state area faces an oral health care crisis and a troubling shortage of dentists. Through this new college of dental medicine, we hope to expand access to oral health care for those who need it most.”

In 2015, the community based foundation JRMSA helped to raise over $40 million to support the construction of KCU’s Farber-McIntire Campus (KCU-Joplin) and the university’s second College of Osteopathic Medicine location.

“Alliance members, donors and the community at-large retain a vital interest in the new medical school and its students,” said McIntire, president of JRMSA. “KCU’s recent efforts to develop a KCU College of Dental Medicine has been embraced as an important part of our mission. The success of KCU’s medical school campus in Joplin contributes greatly to the confidence that the College of Dental Medicine on the same campus will also be successful.”

A $6 million grant from The Sunderland Foundation was the lead gift to KCU to develop the CDM. This gift will be commemorated with The Sunderland Skyway Bridge, an elevated walkway connecting KCU’s future College of Dental Medicine with its current College of Osteopathic Medicine on the Joplin, Mo. campus.

“We focus on the bricks and mortar because they represent the rich history of our company, Ash Grove Cement,” said Kent Sunderland, president of the Sunderland Foundation Board of Trustees. “Yet we keep in mind the people who will be served in those facilities and we are happy to support an initiative that will result in people in the Joplin region living healthier lives.”

Mr. Cornell’s $10 million gift is the second donation to KCU in the past five years. His first gift of $10 million was instrumental in the development of the KCU-Joplin College of Osteopathic Medicine. Mr. Cornell’s generosity will be honored by naming the new College of Dental Medicine building The Harry M. Cornell Dental Education Center.

According to the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the majority of counties within a 125-mile radius of Joplin are Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas (DHPSAs). In Missouri, 376 dentists are currently needed to remove the DHPSA designation, with Arkansas needing 105 dentists, Kansas needing 103, and Oklahoma requiring 166. What’s more, there are currently only three dental schools in the region: two in Missouri and one in Oklahoma, with none in either Kansas or Arkansas.

“Two years ago, we answered the call to meet the growing primary care and rural health needs of the region by establishing a medical school campus in Joplin,” said Hahn. “We know that oral health profoundly impacts overall health. Having a CDM physically located next to our College of Osteopathic Medicine provides a tremendous opportunity to integrate oral health into overall health to make the broadest impact and improve the well-being of the communities we serve.”

KCU anticipates breaking ground on the facility in 2020, with plans to welcome the first class of 80 students in 2022. A nationwide search for a dean of the College of Dental Medicine is currently underway.

Skin Care Institute, Oklahoma’s Top-Rated Medical Spa, Now Offering Advanced Injectables Treatments with Microtox® and BeautiPHIcation™.

Leave a comment


Skin Care Institute is thrilled to expand its injectable service offerings with MicroTox® and BeautiPHIcation™, two advanced, state-of-the-art methods for administering age-defying injectables treatments.


TULSA, Okla. (PRWEB)

Renowned for their injectables treatments and one of the top 250 Allergan accounts in the country, Skin Care Institute is thrilled to expand its injectable service offerings with MicroTox® and BeautiPHIcation™, two advanced, state-of-the-art methods for administering age-defying injectables treatments. Skin Care Institute’s master-level injectors have undergone advanced training to administer these state-of-the-art injectables services.

MicroTox involves administering “micro” injections of a diluted form of Botox® into the shallow layers of the skin, as opposed to traditional Botox injections, which target deeper muscles. When Botox is injected into the shallow areas of the face and neck, it provides a “shrink wrap” effect to the skin, causing lines and wrinkles to tighten and smooth out for a younger-looking appearance within minutes. Botox typically takes four to 14 days to take full effect, but MicroTox affords immediate benefits, improving skin texture and radiance, smoothing horizontal creases, reducing vertical neck banding, shrinking pore size and more.

Pioneered by Dr. Arthur Swift, BeautiPHIcation is a precise method of injecting based on “phi,” a mathematical concept based on symmetry that was developed by Leonardo Da Vinci and is known as “the golden ratio.” Applying phi measurements to the face, Skin Care Institute’s master injectors can administer the most balanced and natural-looking dermal fillers to restore each patient’s unique ideal of beauty.

In addition to MicroTox and BeautiPHIcation, Skin Care Institute offers award-winning injectables treatments with Botox® and the complete suite of Juvéderm® dermal fillers, including Volbella®, Voluma® and Vollure XC™. For non-invasive body contouring, Skin Care Institute offers CoolSculpting®, the world’s most popular non-invasive fat reduction treatment, and Emsculpt® non-invasive muscle-toning. Other acclaimed treatments include Kybella®, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with SkinPen® micro-needling, PRP hair restoration, Ultherapy® skin tightening, Emsella® for urinary incontinence, Clear + Brilliant® skin rejuvenation, Fraxel® Dual laser skin resurfacing, HydraFacial MD® Elite, clinical-grade chemical peels, laser hair removal, photofacials, and Botox® and dermal fillers.

Skin Care Institute also offers a leading selection of spa treatments, including facials, body waxing, lash and brow services, physician-grade and organic skin care products and much more. For additional information about MicroTox, BeautiPHIcation or other treatments at Skin Care Institute Medical and Wellness Spa, please call 918.494.8300.

Four Chicago tenth-grade students honored for their powerful testimonies at Peer Health Exchange’s Celebrating Youth Voices

Leave a comment



CHICAGO (PRWEB)

Whether advocating for a friend, communicating about consent or making a real-time decision about their mental health—four Chicago tenth-grade students were celebrated for their powerful testimonies November 1, describing the very real choices they face as young people, and how Peer Health Exchange encouraged them to think differently about their health.

Celebrating Youth Voices brought together the city’s philanthropic, education, and youth advocate leaders, in support of Peer Health Exchange’s work throughout Chicago. The event featured remarks from CICS Northtown Academy student Yareli Avila, a Peer Health Exchange participant in the 2018-2019 program year.

“Consent is a broad term so it doesn’t necessarily only apply to sex,” said Avila. “I recently talked to a friend who explained how her boyfriend wanted to take things even further than just kissing. She said she wasn’t ready for that, but by her denying his request he made her feel like she didn’t actually love him. I immediately remembered my PHE class and how pressuring someone into doing something is abusing our consent.”

Avila went on to share how participating in Peer Health Exchange shifted her mindset, and encouraged her to advocate for healthy behaviors in her community.

The celebration held at Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, marked the beginning of Peer Health Exchange’s program year. Attendees also heard from Peer Health Exchange Chicago Board Member Dr. Candice Norcott, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Specializing in Reproductive Health.

“Essay writing and writing, in general, is a tool that is often used to facilitate learning and recovery,” said Norcott. “Narratives have power. In the telling, you can see perspectives and paths that you perhaps did not see before. They offer the opportunity for teachable moments that can enhance the understanding of your struggles, and help reduce stigma from others.”

Other students honored for their work included Ayobami Omidiji for her essay on mental health; Keshawn Price who wrote about gender identity in support of inclusive spaces; and Zaria Washington who described the importance of safe sex practices.

Since 2007, Peer Health Exchange has delivered effective skills-based health education to more than 36,000 ninth graders across Chicago. This year, we will provide our health curriculum to 3,600 students in more than 25 Chicago Public Schools high schools. Our valued partners are committed to bridging gaps youth experience in accessing high-quality, free, and affordable healthcare. Our partners include Northwestern University, University of Chicago, the University of Illinois at Chicago, CPS, and hospitals and community health centers across the city.

Peer Health Exchange is grateful for our event sponsor Kirkland & Ellis LLP.

About Peer Health Exchange

Peer Health Exchange’s mission is to empower young people with the knowledge, skills, and resources to make healthy decisions. We do this by training college student volunteers to teach a skills-based health curriculum in under-resourced high schools across the country.

Drivers Should Follow The Next Tips When Driving At Night

Leave a comment


News Image

“ Driving during night can be dangerous, so drivers should always be prepared to face any dangerous situation”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Autoinsurancequotesave.com has launched a new blog post that presents night driving tips that will keep the drivers safe and their car insurance policies intact.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit http://www.autoinsurancequotesave.com/tips-driving-night/

Driving at night can be dangerous. The dangers lurking on the roads are numerous and the possibility for tragic events to happen is high. Policyholders that drive at night should consider following the next tips:


  • Drivers should first check if their car is ready for night driving. They should check if the brakes and headlights are working properly, and see if the windows are clean.

  • Pay attention to incoming cars and adapt the headlights accordingly. Drivers should understand how the lights of their cars are used and how to adapt them with the incoming cars and the ones behind them. Drivers should know how to dim their high beams when another vehicle is approaching.

  • Adapt the speed for night conditions. When driving at night, policyholders should drive a little bit slower than they usually do in the daytime. Doing so, they will have more time to react if they spot a road hazard. However, they should avoid driving too slowly, as the drivers behind them would be annoyed and will attempt to tailgate.

  • Avoid tailgating. Tailgating at night is dangerous, because of the limited field of view.

  • Drivers should research the area they will be driving at night. It is important for a policyholder to know some info about the area before venturing at night. They should check for road constructions, repair projects, or how abundant is the wildlife in that area.

What Is Distracted Driving And How Does It Influence Car Insurance Rates

Leave a comment


News Image

“It is important to always stay focused on the road. Distractions of any kind should be avoided while you are driving”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains how distracted driving can affect car insurance rates.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/distracted-driving-and-car-insurance-rates/

Distracted driving comes in numerous forms. Not surprisingly, young drivers are the ones more likely to be distracted while driving. Besides endangering drivers’ lives, distracted driving can also affect their insurance costs.

Distracted drivers are making insurance companies to increase the costs of car insurance for everyone. American drivers that are using their smartphones and other gadgets while driving are getting involved in more accidents because of it. The use of smartphones while driving has always been considered a safety issue. With the ever-increasing number of social media apps, smartphone addiction is now considered a social concern. Many states have begun to take measures, and they ban the use of smartphones completely while driving.

Many surveys show that the majority of American drivers admit they are using their smartphones while driving. One survey has shown that 61% of drivers admitted they are using their phones while driving, while another study has shown an even higher percentage of 70% of drivers admitting using their phones while behind the wheel.

Young drivers (age 16 to 24) have been observed manipulating electronic devices at higher rates than older drivers,” the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports, noting that 10% of drivers ages 15 to 19 involved in fatal crashes were distracted behind the wheel.

Shriners Hospitals for Children and Spirit of Children Help Create Halloween Magic for Patients

Leave a comment

Batman at the Salt Lake City Shriners Hospital


TAMPA, Fla. (PRWEB)

This Halloween season, Shriners Hospitals for Children® and the heart of Spirit Halloween – Spirit of Children – are making a difference in the lives of children.

Since 2007, Spirit of Children has donated more than $4.6 million to Shriners Hospitals for Children to go toward their local child life departments – after this year, that number will be more than $5 million. Each year, the Spirit of Children crew also visits Shriners Hospitals throughout the country to help host Halloween parties for their patients that include free costumes, food, crafts and games.

These seasonal efforts make hospitals less scary for kids and their families through support of the child life departments at the program’s partner hospitals, which include Shriners Hospitals for Children. Since its inception, Spirit of Children has raised more than $55 million for hospitals across the United States and Mexico. Donations stay within local communities, and 100% of every dollar donated supports the partner hospitals’ child life departments.

Shriners Hospitals for Children — Salt Lake City hosts an extra special Halloween event for its patients each year, where wheelchairs are transformed into magical costumes during their annual wheelchair costume clinic. This year, with help from Spirit of Children, hospital staff and volunteers turned the wheelchairs of a record 32 patients into customized Halloween costumes. From Santa in his sleigh to Aladdin on a magic carpet, patients were all smiles at the hospital’s fourth annual event while transforming their wheelchairs into anything their hearts desired.

The Salt Lake City Shriners Hospital staff created the costume clinic in response to feedback from parents that door-to-door trick-or-treating poses challenges for children with physical disabilities. This event helps level the playing field for children in wheelchairs living with conditions such as spina bifida and skeletal dysplasia who come to Shriners Hospitals for care. Other costume creations have included a Batmobile, Millennium Falcon and boat to take Moana across the sea. The clinic is an example of Shriners Hospitals’ wrap-around care that goes beyond the physical needs to meet the child’s social and emotional needs, as well.

We thank Sprit of Halloween and their program Spirit of Children for their support of Shriners Hospitals for Children. Hosting these memorable annual Halloween events for patients is just one of the ways Shriners Hospitals for Children is helping to provide hope and healing to children every day.

About Shriners Hospitals for Children

Shriners Hospitals for Children is changing lives every day through innovative pediatric specialty care, world-class research and outstanding medical education. Our health care system provides advanced care for children with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate. All care and services are provided regardless of the families’ ability to pay.
