Leave a comment


Village Health Partners believes that by empowering patients to explore recreation resources in their area, more patients will be able to thrive with lessened need for expensive medications and other burdensome treatments.


PLANO, Texas (PRWEB)

Village Health Partners has a rich connection to the North Texas community, building on local partnerships for the past 11 years. The physicians at Village Health Partners collaborate with a team of local dietitians, counselors, pharmacists, and many specialists to care for patients. In recent years, Village Health Partners has expanded its partnerships beyond a traditional medical scope and has teamed up with local businesses and nonprofits to promote whole-person wellness. Comprehensive healthcare takes a village, and Village Health Partners is committed to furthering these local partnerships to empower patients with additional options that elevate their care.

Village Health Partners is proud to announce its newest partnership with the City of Plano to actively promote Plano Parks and Recreation Services. In addition, with the City of Plano’s support, Village Health Partners providers will begin the regular use of park prescriptions to encourage an active and healthy lifestyle. Park prescriptions will include a map of City of Plano parks and suggestions for activities that patients can enjoy at parks throughout Plano.

“In today’s healthcare environment, too many patients are put in a position to receive care that is not on their terms,” Chief Operations Officer Patrick Figures said. “Village Health Partners believes that by empowering patients to explore recreation resources in their area, more patients will be able to thrive with a lessened need for expensive medications and other burdensome treatments.”

Providers at Village Health Partners will begin utilizing these prescriptions as part of the care plan physicians create for patients and will be used to supplement other recommendations from the physicians.

“Village Health Partners is promoting a care plan that every Plano resident has access to – regardless of financial means,” Figures said. “By helping to connect our patients to these services and encouraging increased time and energy outdoors, we believe we’re making the best possible investment in the future of our community.”

Playonwords.com Presents Their Fall 2019 PAL Awards

Leave a comment


News Image

You are a force for play (and toys and time with family that matter)! Thanks for all you do for our children.


ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (PRWEB)

Play On Words LLC, led by highly respected speech language pathologist Sherry Artemenko, announces 2019’s Fall PAL Award Winners, the toy industry’s only recognition directed by a credentialed speech-language expert recognizing the language learning edge in exceptional toys, games and media. Sherry’s 35 years of child development experience with over 17,000 hours working with kids empower her PAL selections, video reviews, popular blog, media appearances (NBC Connecticut, FOX News Milwaukee), and consulting practice.

I continue to be fascinated by the impact parents’ play with kids has on language development, a concept reinforced by recent research. What parents say and how they talk during play can make a difference. By simply using a strategy called “Toy Talk” where parents talk about the toys and give the toy a name, they up their grammatical models to their child and improve the growth trajectories of certain areas of their child’s language development. Toys are the tools for a child’s play which is why I’ve spent my career calling out the toys with the best language learning potential and coaching parents on how to play with their child to maximize learning.

Playonwords.com helps toy brands and consumers alike see the strategic value of language learning in play through its helping to build vocabulary, foster cooperation, express emotion, kindle creativity and expand descriptive and problem solving capacities. The PAL Award on the internet, packaging and in print media differentiates brands who know the marketplace now demands products that are not only fun, but also infused with learning potential. The gold seal with three smiley faces tells customers that more than great entertainment is to be found behind the box, book cover or app license.

EARLY DEVELOPMENT: Sherry’s experience in pediatric speech therapy has given her an eye for the best products to build attention, vocabulary and concepts through play, preparing children for their first sounds, words and sentences. While fishing in the bathtub for pop-up fish, opening and closing latches and doors to learn counting, vocabulary and colors, or playing a surprise game that grows bubbles on the back of a sneezing sheep, kids learn essential early language skills.

  • From Birth to First Words by Lynn Carson, Talking Together

  • Hape Double Fun Fishing Set

  • Latches & Doors Busy Board by VTech

  • Learn & Groove Shakin’ Colors Maracas by LeapFrog

READING AND WRITING: Building with letter blocks that access an electronic cube to teach pre-literacy skills, seeing your name repeated in print throughout a fun personalized book, or exploring the human body with an interactive video stylus that captures the workings inside, all help children pick up essential skills to advance reading and writing.

LANGUAGE STRUCTURE, CRITICAL THINKING AND REASONING: These outstanding products can build language structure, critical thinking and reasoning, often teaching vocabulary, concepts or grammar while delivering fun. Chase the eagle across the map of the United States, learning critical facts about parks, monuments and historical places while relating your own experiences, or put on your chemist cap and experiment with arctic options to make a chill thermometer, cold lava or glistening snow slime, analyzing and recording your findings to strengthen communication skills.

STORY-TELLING / PRETEND PLAY: Whether piloting a mighty jet command center to come to the rescue, captaining a pirate ship while loading the cannon or walking the plank, or serving up a tempting treat in a play kitchen with sink, range, oven and chalkboard to write your menu, children enter the world of pretend, creating their own stories with plenty of flexible props to guide their imagination. Oral story-telling precedes writing as kids learn the steps to create a good narrative.

  • Myla the Magical Unicorn by VTech

  • PAW Patrol Mighty Jet Command Center by Spin Master

  • Smart Sizzlin’ BBQ Grill by LeapFrog

  • Treasure Seekers Pirate Ship by VTech

SOCIAL LANGUAGE: Complementary to pretend play, social language blossoms when children play with toys and games and interact with media that encourage extended social interactions. Matching and identifying facial expressions to start the conversation about our own emotions and situations that sparked those feelings, or teaching a pretend plush friend how to be kind, brave, and help others, can equip kids to better name, understand and manage their emotions, leading to stronger EQ’s.

ABOUT PLAYONWORDS.COM

Playonwords.com was founded by well-respected speech-language pathologist, Sherry Artemenko. Her 35 years championing language rich play, esteemed PAL Award, popular blog, and insightful tips to parents set her apart as the leading advocate for the language component in toys.

Over 17,000 hours working directly with children has shown her that a unique set of the best toys, games and books have the capability to develop language while delivering great play. Studies show:

  • Kids with highest IQs at three, had the most words at one and two

  • Language learning is cumulative – early words => early sentences => language & reading

  • Most kids maintain their verbal advantage through childhood

  • Creative pretend play that sparks story-telling can advance future literacy

Sherry established the PAL Award to identify unique toys, games and books that through their design, quality and character, encourage play that advances language. PAL winners in the hands of kids, spark fun and creative play with lots of talk. Such toys, recognized on the basis of her child development expertise, are complemented by practical coaching in her blog, showing parents, caregivers and teachers how to get the most from toys, games and books to build language and underlying cognitive skills.

LiveWell TMS Brings Breakthrough Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Depression Treatment to Huntington Area

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Dr. Nina Greif of LiveWell TMS

We are already seeing a positive impact with NeuroStar TMS. It’s giving our patients a chance at remission from their depression and enabling them to live their best lives.


HUNTINGTON, N.Y. (PRWEB)

LiveWell TMS, a new depression treatment facility, announced today it will host a grand opening event on Thursday, October 24, in celebration of its new location and in honor of National Depression Awareness Month. Co-founded by doctors Nina and Eric Greif, LiveWell TMS specializes in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). According to a recent study by the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, depression diagnoses are rising in New York.

LiveWell TMS opened its doors in August 2019 to provide an innovative, non-drug treatment to Huntington residents struggling with depression who are not seeing relief with antidepressant medications alone. The practice uses NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy TMS, which uses magnetic pulses to awaken areas of the brain that are underactive in depression. , With its cutting-edge technology, NeuroStar Advanced Therapy offers doctors real-time feedback and delivers enhanced care with precise and accurate targeting, providing reliable and consistent treatment.

Dr. Nina Greif is a board-certified psychiatrist with more than 10 years of clinical expertise treating patients at clinics, hospitals, private practices and in a consulting capacity. Dr. Eric Greif is board-certified neuro-radiologist who focuses on interpreting neuroimages of the brain and spine. In their new roles at LiveWell TMS, they take a holistic approach to care and practices an integrative model of treatment for each and every patient.

“Depression is on the rise in our own backyard, and alternative treatments for those struggling and not seeing relief from antidepressants are in greater demand than ever before,” said Dr. Greif. “We are already seeing a positive impact with NeuroStar TMS. It’s giving our patients a chance at remission from their depression and enabling them to live their best lives. It is important to spread the word and educate about proven non-drug options like this one.”

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is widely covered by major insurance plans and is available by prescription. The treatment is typically administered daily in a doctor’s office for four to six weeks, with treatment sessions performed in as little as just under 19 minutes.* Unlike electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is non-invasive and allows patients to resume daily activities immediately following treatment sessions. It is also free from systemic side effects often associated with antidepressant medications.

LiveWell TMS’s upcoming educational open house event will take place on Thursday, October 24 from 4 to 7 p.m. at its facility located at 120 New York Avenue, Suite 6W, Huntington NY 11743. The event is open to the public and attendees will have the opportunity to learn about NeuroStar TMS, tour the office, speak with LiveWell TMS physicians, and hear patients share their testimonials about the treatment.

The practice is accepting new patients and is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST. To learn more and schedule an appointment in advance, call 631-944-3144 or visit http://www.livewelltms.com.

About LiveWell TMS

LiveWell TMS opened its doors in August 2019 to meet the vast growing need for innovative depression treatments on Long Island. Founded by Dr. Nina Greif and her husband, Dr. Eric Greif — a neuroradiologist who helps locate certain areas of the brain for improved accuracy — the practice strives to provide its patients with the highest quality of care and offers NeuroStar Advanced Therapy, a non-dug, non-invasive treatment for Major Depressive Disorder. To learn more, visit http://www.livewelltms.com.

About NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy

NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy is the market leader in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive form of neuromodulation. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is the #1 TMS choice of doctors for patients with MDD, and is widely available across the United States.

NeuroStar is widely reimbursed by most commercial and government health plans, including Medicare and Tricare. In addition, there are programs in place, such as NeuroStar Reimbursement Support, to help patients and providers obtain coverage and reimbursement for NeuroStar Advanced Therapy.

NeuroStar is indicated for the treatment of MDD in adult patients who have failed to receive satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode. In an NIMH-funded, independent, randomized controlled trial, patients treated with TMS using a clinical-trial version of the NeuroStar TMS System were 4.2 times more likely to achieve remission compared to patients receiving sham treatment (P = 0.02; odds ratio = 4.05). The most common side effect is pain or discomfort at or near the treatment site, which usually resolves within one week. It is contraindicated in people with non-removable conductive metal in or near the head.

NeuroStar® is a registered trademark of Neuronetics, Inc. (NASDAQ:STIM). For more information and full safety and prescribing information, visit http://www.neurostar.com.
