American Heart Association Recognizes CHC Wellbeing and Clients For Workplace Health Achievement

Leave a comment


News Image

We are honored to achieve Gold Level status with the AHA’s Index, and we are equally pleased to see several of our clients gaining recognition as well.


CHICAGO (PRWEB)

The results of the American Heart Association 2019 Workplace Health Achievement Index have been announced, and CHC Wellbeing achieved Gold Level recognition for taking significant steps to build a culture of health in the workplace. Based in Chicago, CHC works nationally to help individuals and organizations go beyond wellness to true potential.    

The American Heart Association created the Index with its CEO Roundtable, a leadership collaborative of more than 40 CEOs from some of America’s largest companies who are committed to applying evidence-based approaches to improve their employees’ overall health. The Index uses science-based best practices to evaluate the overall quality and comprehensiveness of their workplace health programs. Studies show that worksites with a culture of health with comprehensive, evidence-based policies and programs, and senior leadership support are more likely to have engaged employees and a healthier, more productive workforce.

A unique feature of the Index is that it calculates an average heart health score for employees of participating companies that securely submit aggregate health data. Companies receive benchmarking reports, which allow them to identify potential areas of improvement so that they can advance their annual performance and recognition.

CHC also assisted several clients with the submission process as well. In total, five CHC clients were recognized by the Index, including:

Gold Level

Silver Level

  • Chicago Cubs

  • Oak Lawn Park District

Bronze Level

  • American College of Healthcare Executives

  • Old Second National Bank

“We are honored to achieve Gold Level status with the AHA’s Index, and we are equally pleased to see several of our clients gaining recognition as well,” said Ramki Ramanarayanan, CEO with CHC Wellbeing. “Our daily business is centered on helping individuals thrive at work and at home. This is true for our own colleagues, as well as our clients. To see our efforts validated by such a prestigious and rigorous initiative is both exciting and humbling for our organization.”

RCare Accepts ‘What If’ Challenge at LeadingAge Annual Meeting & Expo

Leave a comment


Join us in San Diego

RCare at LeadingAge Expo, booth 1624

“This industry spends countless dollars catering to residents’ needs, wants and desires, but we are missing the boat on the most obvious problem: improving response times,” said Myron Kowal, CEO of RCare.


WEBSTER, N.Y. (PRWEB)

RCare, Inc., maker of award-winning nurse call and monitoring solutions, will be featured at the LeadingAge Annual Meeting & Expo in San Diego next week. This year’s LeadingAge theme is “What If…” RCare will be challenging communities to evaluate their own “what if” statements, in reference to improving quality, resident satisfaction and response times.

RCare will be showcasing their advanced nurse call and remote monitoring technologies as well as some new initiatives, including iCall, RCare’s new full-IP wired nurse call system, the HCube for affordable housing, and RCare’s new integration with Inovonics hardware. In addition, participants can get a sneak peek at the new RCare Mobile interface with multi-app support, and SafeKeeping, the new integrated engagement app that connects residents, families and clinicians.

Attendees can visit RCare in booth #1624 and learn how to improve response times, increase the quality of care, and guarantee better resident satisfaction. Attendees will also have the opportunity to take photos and post them on Twitter or Facebook with the hashtag #RMan or #RWoman for a chance to win great prizes, including JBL Bluetooth headsets and Go speakers, Amazon Fire TV Sticks, and more. Two grand prize winners will receive a personal pizza party for their co-workers and staff.

“This industry spends countless dollars catering to residents’ needs, wants and desires, but we are missing the boat on the most obvious problem: improving response times,” said Myron Kowal, CEO of RCare. “Residents expect an immediate response when a button is pressed. It’s clear that faster response times lead to better health and safety for residents, better peace of mind and better staff satisfaction.”

What if your nurse call system could help you with resident satisfaction? What if it could help with staff retention? What if you it could give you actionable data to help with QAPI? What if it could save your staff time by integrating with other systems you’re already using for wander management, door access, or records? What if it could save you money by working with your existing hardware? What if it could bring you powerful features, no matter what your size or budget?

What if your nurse call system could change the way your residents receive care, perceive and experience care? Visit RCare in booth #1624 and take your next step from “what if” to reality.

Paperless Solutions Group Along With Levinson & Associates Rollout Revolutionary Consumer Insurance Buyers Portal for All Agents

Leave a comment


InsureMeNowDirect delivers an instant solution to consumers and lets them quickly continue through the application process independently or with an agent’s assistance. It’s the first and only solution of its kind that satisfies the needs of both agents and consumers.


GAINESVILLE, Fla. (PRWEB)

Paperless Solutions Group (PSG),the premier provider of digitizing processes in the insurance marketplace, announced today that along with Levinson & Associates, Inc, one of the industry’s leading Independent Marketing Organizations, has brought to market a unique insurance portal, named “InsureMeNowDirect,” allowing consumers to quickly self- quote and apply for a variety of insurance products by multiple carriers.

Unlike other consumer insurance sites,”InsureMeNowDirect” provides a revolutionary, new feature that gives the consumer an option for instant access to a local agent in their very own neighborhood and gives the agents instant access to complimentary leads/prospects. It is estimated that more than 70% of on-line insurance applications are abandoned due to customer questions that could have been resolved by a quick, in-person meeting or call with an agent. “InsureMeNowDirect” taps into the vast Levinson network of 17,000+ producers across the country that easily solves that problem.

“As an Independent Marketing Organization, our goal has always been to help our producers protect more families by offering insurance products that truly meet their needs,” said Bill Levinson, Managing Partner, Levinson & Associates. We recognize that more and more consumers are trying to purchase insurance on-line, however most struggle with the lengthy application process, as well as identifying the best product for their needs. “InsureMeNowDirect” delivers an instant solution to consumers and lets them quickly continue through the quote-application-approval process independently or with an agent’s assistance. It’s the first and only solution of its kind that satisfies the needs of both agents and consumers.

Over the past decade, Levinson & Associates, Inc. has become a national marketing powerhouse amongst the insurance community. The organization will be expanding their reach in the direct marketing channel to engage end consumers with the “InsureMeNowDirect” site and automatically match visitors with the closest producer. The “InsureMeNowDirect” platform is yet another technology program that continues to build upon the Levinson & Associates guiding principle that the relationship with their producers and General Agents is their most important asset. And finally, at Bill Levinson’s insistence, “InsureMeNowDirect” was developed as a tool to help their producers and General Agents elevate their practices and make more sales by becoming the best and most efficient professionals as possible.

Jeff McCauley, President at Paperless Solutions Group, stated that “The team at Levinson & Associates have been longtime clients and friends. They’ve always been progressive when it comes to offering technology to the field. When Bill approached us about “InsureMeNowDirect” we were thrilled to bring the vision to reality. We’re very excited to continually bring on new insurance carriers and products to the platform.”

Heartbeat EVP of Marketing Janelle Starr Honored as “Agency Vanguard” Award Winner by DTC Perspectives

Leave a comment


I’m proud to be part of an agency that offers such opportunity and growth, that enables me to impact DTC advertising in a myriad of ways.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Janelle Starr, EVP of Marketing for leading healthcare marketing agency Heartbeat, has been recognized by DTC Perspectives as one of its annual Agency Vanguard Award Winners.

DTC Perspectives is one of the leading forums for direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising thought leaders. The Agency Vanguard award was created to recognize standout agency team members who are driving innovation and improving patient communications. Agency executives are selected based on their extensive accomplishments, vast influence on the future state of DTC launches or campaigns, and recognized contributions or service to patients as well as the DTC industry.

Ms. Starr was awarded this honor following 20 decorated years in the marketing industry, including a remarkable 15 years at Heartbeat, where she has helped guide the company’s evolution from a small digital advertising shop to the AOR marketing leader it is today. Janelle has led three unique disciplines within the agency: first the Production team, then the award-winning Technology department, and, finally, Marketing and Communications—all of which enabled her to see the development of DTC advertising from a new angle. In 2012, Janelle moved to Los Angeles to open Heartbeat’s West Coast office, aptly named Heartbeat West, where the company’s DTC partnerships surged under her stewardship.

“I’m proud to be part of an agency that offers such opportunity and growth, that enables me to impact DTC advertising in a myriad of ways,” said Ms. Starr. “It wouldn’t have been possible without the mentorship and friendship of my long-time Heartbeat colleagues Jen Campanaro, Bill Drummy, Nadine Leonard, and James Talerico.”

Janelle is the third Heartbeat executive to receive DTC Perspectives Agency Vanguard recognition. The agency’s President & Executive Creative Director, James Talerico, was awarded the distinction in 2017, and Hudson Plumb, Heartbeat SVP of Strategy, received the award in 2018.

Ms. Starr and other award recipients were honored at a ceremonial dinner on October 23, 2019 at the DTC Perspectives Forum on Social Media & Technology: East Coast Conference in Jersey City, New Jersey.

About Heartbeat

They house strategy, creative, media, and technology under a single roof for the tightest, most integrated campaigns possible. And Heartbeat looks to understand and extract maximum value from every dollar spent, constantly. All the necessary elements for Challengers to triumph.

This is dumb.’” Damn straight.

The Best Guide For Comparing Car Insurance Quotes Online

Leave a comment


News Image

“Online car insurance quotes are very easy to obtain and will help you get the right coverage for your needs and budget.” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that explains how to compare car insurance quotes online in a simple and efficient manner!

An auto insurance quote offers a price estimate for a selected policy. Clients can use multiple quotes to compare and review offers from different insurance agencies and then choose the right coverage plan for them. For more info and free quotes, visit http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/how-to-compare-auto-insurance-prices-online/

However, there are certain rules to follow when it comes down to comparing online quotes:


  • Make sure to get quotes for the same product. Do not compare prices for different products. For example, the price for collision will be totally different from the one for comprehensive because different factors are analyzed.

  • Use at least 5 quotes to compare prices. Make sure to gather a sufficient number of quotes for a fair comparison. If the quotes are for the same product and are accurate, the prices should not differ a lot.

  • Being honest is recommended when filling in the form. Sure, by lying or not providing the correct info, the client will get better prices online. But when the real negotiations start, the client will be closely analyzed by the insurance representatives. And the final price will be totally different from the ones obtained online.

  • Have important documents nearby when getting quotes. This will ensure that the data provided is correct. When checking prices online, make sure to have documents about car’s make and model, driving license and driving reports.

  • Clients should not be guided only by price. Drivers can surely sort the quotes by price and deduce quite easily which one is the cheapest. But the aim is to get the best for your needs, not the cheapest for everything. Check carefully what’s behind the numbers and what services are offered. And do not be afraid to contact the insurers and ask for additional explanations.

  • Diversify the sources. Get quotes from both aggregator website or directly from the companies. Compare results. If the quotes are good and the previous rules were applied, the numbers should not be that far apart.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.
