We’re so grateful to be collaborating with OhioHealth to improve the health of seniors in underserved Columbus neighborhoods.


COLUMBUS, Ohio (PRWEB)

OhioHealth, a nationally recognized health system based in Columbus, Ohio, and ChenMed, a nationally recognized physician-led primary care provider serving seniors in eight states, announced today the opening of the third, of three, primary care offices for seniors, called “Dedicated Senior Medical Centers.” The Dedicated centers bring the proven ChenMed approach to value-based care to underserved Columbus neighborhoods that have long needed personalized primary care to improve the lives of moderate-to-low-income, at-risk seniors. Plus, the three new Dedicated practices are a milestone for the healthcare industry. As the first time ChenMed has partnered with a health care system in opening primary care practices, the multifaceted partnership with OhioHealth could accelerate similar value-based care relationships involving hospital systems nationwide (watch VNR).

Making care simple – more time with patients means better outcomes

The Dedicated center concept is simple and vital to Medicare-eligible seniors, many of whom are living with major and multiple chronic health challenges. The more you see your patients, the better you know them. And the better you know them, the better chance you have of helping them stay healthy by catching small issues before they turn into big ones.

Dedicated primary care physicians (PCPs) spend up to TEN TIMES as much face-to-face time with their patients than a typical physician does. Instead of the national average of just 20.3 minutes of direct time with patients, Dedicated patients spend an average exceeding 200 minutes annually with the physician who knows them best.

“Doctors in our high-touch centers will serve approximately 400 patients each,” reports Christopher Chen, M.D., ChenMed CEO. “That’s roughly one-fifth the national average of 2,300 patients per doctor, so Dedicated primary care physicians are able to invest substantively more time with each patient, earning trust; detecting and managing high-risk diseases; and helping seniors enjoy more healthy days.”

Important personalized care benefits for each Dedicated patient include:

  • Door-to-doctor transportation, if necessary

  • Having the cell phone number for his/her Dedicated primary care physician for timely and informed help whenever a health concern might arise

  • Walk-in appointments

  • Unlimited visits

  • On-site cardiology, medication dispensing, imaging, labs, acupuncture, and more.

  • Healthy lifestyle classes

Making care affordable

Dedicated patients benefit from having almost all costs of care covered by fixed Medicare and/Medicaid reimbursements that are enhanced by Medicare Advantage supplemental insurance plans. In Columbus, Dedicated accepts Aetna, Anthem, Humana, and Medical Mutual of Ohio health plans.

Making care accessible

“The centers are ideally located to serve a population of people who have found it difficult just to see their doctor on a regular basis,” says Michael Krouse, OhioHealth senior vice president, and chief strategy and transformation officer. “This is truly transformational medicine and we are confident that our Dedicated center partnership will help seniors address routine health needs before they turn into major health emergencies.”

Center locations:

  • Columbus Westside – 50 N. Wilson Road (Grand Opening: 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM today)

  • Northland – 2260 Morse Road (opened September 03)

  • Whitehall – 5156 East Main Street (opened August 01)

Ribbon cutting and open house at the Westside center, Monday, October 21.

  • When:    VIP tour + official welcome w/ribbon cutting (11:00 to 11:30 AM)

  • Where: 50 N. Wilson Road (just north of Broad Street)

  • What:    Ribbon-cutting, dedication with physicians, patients and local dignitaries

  • Who:     Mayor Andrew J. Ginther, City of Columbus

  •              Stephen E. Markovich, M.D., President and CEO of OhioHealth

  •              Christopher Chen, M.D., ChenMed CEO

  •              Dedicated doctors, diverse community leaders and 150 to 200 seniors

Dedicated’s approach

“We honor seniors with affordable VIP care that delivers better health,” explains Gaurov Dayal, M.D., ChenMed president new markets and chief growth officer. “Our patients know their Dedicated PCPs want to help them thrive, and this is important because many of the seniors we serve are living with multiple and major health challenges. We’re so grateful to be collaborating with OhioHealth to improve the health of seniors in underserved Columbus neighborhoods.”

“For seniors, especially those living in underserved areas, there’s simply no substitute for the personalized primary care that Dedicated Senior Medical Center physicians provide,” says Bruce Vanderhoff, M.D., MBA, OhioHealth senior vice president and chief medical officer. “We’re delighted to be partnering with Dedicated in opening three senior-friendly medical practices in Columbus. It’s the way healthcare should be delivered to truly improve the health of our senior patients.”

Local economic impact

The five-year investment in Franklin County will exceed $60 million and provide intensive primary care for up to 8,000 seniors. Initially, the three Dedicated centers will employ about 60 full-time workers, including front desk, Medical Assistants, RN case managers, and physicians – the vast majority of whom will be hired locally. As the alliance grows, it’s possible that the partnership could expand to serve more than 20,000 seniors in central Ohio, with a total investment that could top $200 million.

“As I meet with community leaders and constituents, it is clear that more can be done to provide better care for seniors in Central Ohio,” said U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03). “That is why I am so excited about OhioHealth and ChenMed’s new partnership to improve upon the delivery and access to healthcare for seniors in underserved communities.”

EC-Council Announces CISO Award Winners at Black Tie Gala

Leave a comment


The award was given based on Mr. Naiyer’s immense contributions to growing the CISO and Certified CISO community in his region.


ATLANTA (PRWEB)

In a black-tie ceremony, EC-Council (https://www.eccouncil.org) honored leaders in information security by recognizing finalists and winners in four categories. The CISO Awards precedes both Hacker Halted (hackerhalted.com), EC-Council’s largest annual cybersecurity conference, and the Global CISO Forum (https://ciso.eccouncil.org/ciso-events/), EC-Council’s premier executive-level event. EC-Council’s CISO Awards recognize leaders making an impact by implementing security programs and security awareness programs that break the mold and address the root problems of modern breaches. These awards are decided by a committee in an anonymous voting process.

The first award given was the Presidential Award for Excellence to Farooq Naiyer (https://www.linkedin.com/in/farooqwahab/), the CISO of ORION, Ontario’s research and education network. The award was given based on Mr. Naiyer’s immense contributions to growing the CISO and Certified CISO community in his region. He just helped EC-Council host the first CISO Forum in Canada (, bringing hundreds of CISOs to the Niagara region and he’s led the charge to make Certified CISO the standard in Canada.

The next category was the Most Promising New CISO of the Year, an award given based on the strength of the nomination narrative, but all those considered for the award had to meet three basic criteria:


  • Work for one of the largest 500 companies in the world

  • Be younger than 40 years old.

  • Hold the role of CISO or be the budget controller for company-wide security program

There were two finalists for the award: Joseph Tso, Chief Information Security Officer for Scotiabank US, and Marco Tulio Moraes, Head of Information Security – Brazil, Banco MUFG Brasil S.A.

The winner was Moraes, chosen because he is experienced in a broad range of industries such as finance, insurance, e-commerce, entertainment, fashion, and aerospace and his command over the various disciplines required to be a CISO is tremendous. He also has a rare ability to partner with the business while looking out for the security interests of the organization.

The next award was the CISO of the Year award. This award, one EC-Council has been giving since the start of the CISO program, is designed to honor a CISO who is going above and beyond the already formidable duties of a CISO and making a difference in the industry with groundbreaking projects and outreach beyond his or her own organization. The finalists for the awards were Dave Summitt, CISO of Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute; Lauren Dana Rosenblatt, Executive Director, Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), The Estée Lauder Companies; and Abdulla Bader Al Sayari, Chief Information Security Officer, Department of Health Abu Dhabi.

The winner was Summitt, and he was chosen because he has demonstrated exceptional leadership within his institution and beyond. He single-handedly built his organization’s cyber security program from the ground up, and his team is recognized across the organization for diligence and thought leadership in an escalating threat environment. Moreover, through his outreach efforts and compelling message, there is now broad awareness of cyber security throughout all faculty and staff. He also has established credibility and respect with the Board of Directors and Executive Leadership team, relationships that are critical to harvesting support and funding for key investments.

The last CISO award is for the Certified CISO (https://ciso.eccouncil.org/cciso-certification/), or CCISO, of the year. The CCISO program has been an integral part of EC-Council and the security industry since 2011. It is a program specifically for information security leaders – those already in and those with the right experience and expertise to fill the role of CISO. By recognizing the best of this group of leaders, EC-Council highlights the elite members of information security leadership.

Two finalists for the award were able to travel and attend the Gala: Roota Almeida, Chief Information Security Officer Delta Dental of New Jersey and s Rob Johnston, Head of Operations, Integrated Financial Solutions at FIS.

The winner, Almeida (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rootaalmeida/), was chosen because ensuring that the safety of proprietary company and customer information for more than 1.7 million customers has been her number one priority. She has completely transformed the information security department in those four years by providing a level of structure and cohesiveness that centralized and refined programs, processes, and resources relied on to mitigate against various forms of risk and threat vulnerability.

About EC-Council

EC-Council has been the world’s leading information security certification body since the launch of their flagship program, Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), which created the ethical hacking industry in 2002. Since the launch of CEH, EC-Council has added industry-leading programs to their portfolio to cover all aspects of information security including EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (ECSA), Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator (CHFI), Certified Chief Information Security Officer (CCISO), among others. EC-Council Foundation, the non-profit branch of EC-Council, created Global CyberLympics, the world’s first global hacking competition. EC-Council Foundation also hosts a suite of conferences across the US and around the world including Hacker Halted, Global CISO Forum, TakeDownCon, and CISO Summit.

Dr. Rahal Becomes First Surgeon In Beverly Hills To Offer This Non-Invasive Treatment For Breast Implant Complication, Capsular Contracture

Leave a comment


The Aspen treatment has a 90% success rate in eliminating capsular contracture.


BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (PRWEB)

An ultrasound machine known as Aspen is the best non-invasive treatment for capsular contracture. Dr. Rahal is the first plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills to invest in this technology. The treatment uses a specific type of ultrasound to break up the hardening around the implant, breaking the capsule, allowing the implant to sit comfortably inside of the breast cavity and provides a soft and natural feel. “This is a very successful and non-invasive option for capsular contracture” says Dr. Rahal. He also stated “The Aspen treatment has a 90% success rate in eliminating capsular contracture.”

Patient Denise Olsen explains “My breasts started to harden and they raised & twisted causing some pain” after undergoing breast augmentation surgery with another plastic surgeon, just 4 weeks after her procedure. After only 4 treatments with the Aspen Ultrasound, she states “I can’t even explain the softness, it doesn’t hurt anymore, I don’t have any more pain in my breasts.”

Capsular Contracture is when a hard capsule forms around the implant. Doctors believe a “biofilm” forms around it and may be caused by bacterial contamination. The capsule around the implant makes the implant more firm, and can make the breasts’ shape look different and uneven.

Capsular Contracture cannot be prevented 100%. Dr. Rahal uses the most up-to-date, and best, practices to reduce its rate of occurrence. This includes not touching the implant, placing it underneath the muscle, and using antibiotics during surgery.

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you should be evaluated by your plastic surgeon. If the diagnosis is made of capsular contracture, you should explore treatment options. Fortunately, there are now non-invasive treatments for capsular contracture.

Symptoms Include:

  • The implant begins to feel hard

  • You are experiencing pain, tightness, or discomfort in your chest

  • The implant shape is off, like in the form of a ball.

  • You notice asymmetry after three months as one implant is higher on your chest

Dr. William Rahal is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with offices located in Beverly Hills, California and Los Angeles, CA. His specialties include Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery, Breast Augmentation, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift, as well as Surgical & Non-Surgical options to treat Capsular Contracture (Breast Implant Complications).

Additional information can be found on Dr. William Rahal’s website at https://drwilliamrahal.com. Consultations can be scheduled with Dr. William Rahal by calling his office at (424) 512-1902.

Grid Space Expanding to Accomodate Solar Energy Growth in the U.S.

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Nicki Zvik, Founder of Green Solar Technologies


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

As renewable energy becomes more and more prominent, it is essential to ensure the grid is prepared to take it on.

According to an article by Nate Berg published on GreenBiz, “Roughly 15 percent of the electricity generated in the United States comes from renewable sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower and biomass, amounting to 64 million of the 411 million megawatt-hours (MWH) of total electricity generated in July, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That’s a jump up from just 9 percent a decade ago. From large-scale wind farms to single panels installed on rooftops, renewable energy has gone from novel to commonplace.”

That being said, the electrical grid that brings power to homes and businesses will need to continue being updated in order to accommodate the ever-growing renewable energy industry.

Nicki Zvik, Founder of Green Solar Technologies, states, “If we’re going to get to a place where our country is powered by 100% renewable energy, we’re going to need a lot of grid space to do so. We as a country can’t quite support 100% clean energy yet, but we’re getting there, and as alternative methods of energy continue to rise in popularity, the methods by which power is brought to homes and businesses will continue to be modernized.”

The GreenBiz article continues, “Electricity producers and the utility companies that distribute that electricity to households and businesses throughout the country are working to make it easier for renewable sources to provide that power, according to John Jimison, executive director of Americans for a Clean Energy Grid, a non-profit advocacy group focusing on modernizing the grid. ‘The basis of the transition is the need to get off carbon-based energy and stop emitting greenhouse gases,’ Jimison says. ‘That’s a priority for everybody who understands the science.’”

“Because the need to switch from carbon-based energy to renewable sources is so widely accepted and celebrated, it shouldn’t be long before the rest of the country gets on board with states like California and Hawaii in committing to going 100% solar within the next few decades,” shares Zvik, “As long as every state has the ability to make the switch, and as long as Americans continue to see the importance of going carbon-free, there should be nothing holding us back from becoming a solar-powered country in the not-so-distant future.”

Nicki Zvik is the founder of Green Solar Technologies and Spectrum Properties LLC.

Bernadette Kolbeck’s newly released “Our Town Series Featuring Simon and Sophia” is an enjoyable narrative that brings some curious kids to a fun learning adventure.

MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Our Town Series Featuring Simon and Sophia: Our Founding Fathers and Town Services”: an illustrated children’s tale that follows Simon and Sophia and their two other friends as they seek answers about their town and roam the place—only to come across to an exciting series of unexpected adventure. “Our Town Series Featuring Simon and Sophia: Our Founding Fathers and Town Services” is the creation of published author Bernadette Kolbeck, a people person who enjoyed serving others and has sampled a variety of jobs and careers. She completed RN and MSN degrees and became the director of nursing at a large assisted-living/retirement facility. After retiring, she has written two large narrative photobiographies of her family.

Kolbeck shares, “What is a town, and how does a town get started? These are some of the questions asked by Simon and Sophia. They were joined by twin friends Ryan and Alyssa, who wanted to know more about Slinger.

“We visited the two most important services a town can offer which is police protection and fire safety. The children learned that the police officer carried most of their tools on their uniform, much as the military. They wear their pistols or handgun in a holster and the big guns close by.

“The tour of the fire department was so interesting. They were shown some of the tools firefighters use on the job, and then they were given a ride in a bright green fire truck.

“Suddenly, across the path of the children ran a dog with a bloody hip, running very fast. The four children ran after it to give the dog help. However, the dog ran into a broken-down building, and was nowhere to be found. Then the four children disappeared. What happened to the children? What happened to the dog? Can you solve this suspenseful mystery?”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Bernadette Kolbeck’s new book is an amusing and educational read for children that will take them into a thrilling adventure as four young friends explore their own town.
