Chicago IVF Expands Fertility and Third-Party Reproductive Care to Europe

Leave a comment



CHICAGO (PRWEB)

Chicago IVF, through its Illinois Center for Surrogacy division, is now offering its award-winning fertility and third-party reproductive care to growing families in Europe. The practice has added personnel and cultivated strategic partnerships with local medical centers and third-party reproductive agencies to help expand its global footprint.

Chicago IVF was founded in 1997 by Dr. Joel Brasch, specializing in infertility and reproductive endocrinology with a vision of providing personalized care and expanding reach to patients in Europe and Asia. The recent European expansion marks the culmination of a years-long effort on behalf of the clinic, including the growth of The Illinois Center for Surrogacy. The clinic’s fertility services have allowed patients from France, Spain, and other European countries to grow their families through fertility treatments and third-party services, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), egg donation, and gestational surrogacy.

Making third-party reproductive care, originally offered at fertility clinics in Illinois and Indiana, available in Europe will provide added convenience for international patients. This growth will open up new possibilities for international families, allowing those who currently travel to the United States for top-tier fertility treatments to receive aspects of their care in their home country.

The Illinois Center for Surrogacy and Chicago IVF are committed to international patients, providing a wide range of services specially designed to simplify the process. The staff at both the clinic and its surrogacy-focused partner are multilingual and highly experienced in working with interpreters.

Intended parents are provided with a dedicated advocate from The Illinois Center for Surrogacy. These advocates are experts in navigating each step of the surrogacy process, including financial interactions, agency selection and matching, and legal issues. Intended parents are also provided with concierge transportation services to help ensure smooth, stress-free travel to and from their home country.

This coordinated expansion into Europe builds upon previous success in partnering with Medicess Medical (Shanghai) Co. Ltd in the People’s Republic of China. The clinic’s high standard of medical care, competitive costs, and concierge services for Chinese patients served as the model for the expansion of Chicago IVF care in Europe.

LFCS offers Accessible Mental Health Services to 4,625 children and families in Missouri

Leave a comment


The more awareness and financial support we receive throughout the state in honor of World Mental Health Day, the better we can serve these populations.


ST. LOUIS (PRWEB)

Lutheran Family and Children’s Services (LFCS) Missouri understands the significant correlation that exists among utilization of mental health services, the stigma of mental illness, and accessibility to mental health services. Through a variety of innovative programs, LFCS offers accessible mental health services to over 4500 children and families throughout Missouri. World Mental Health Day, observed on October 10, provides an opportunity for this community to join LFCS in the conversation about mental illness and serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for mental health care in Missouri.

According to the Missouri Department of Mental Health 2017 Prevalence Update, nearly 18% of Missouri adults experienced a form of mental illness that year, and more than 14% of Missouri adolescents (ages 12 – 17) experienced a major depressive episode. According to the St. Louis County Children’s Services Fund’s Behavioral Health and Substance Abuse Needs Assessment, the number of youth who receive psychiatric services has increased by 31% over the past few years in St. Louis County. Similarly, the St. Louis City Mental Health Board Needs Assessment found that 24% of children in St. Louis City are projected to have a mental health challenge that qualifies them for a diagnosis.

“Despite these staggering statistics, few will seek or can afford therapeutic services to address their mental health concerns or symptoms,” said behavioral health expert at LFCS, Michael Kreitler, MA LPC. “Data shows that there is a need for mental health services and that disparity in mental health care means that low and moderate-income individuals, couples, and families have challenges finding affordable, quality services.”

LFCS aims to combat this issue of accessibility by imbedding free or low-cost behavioral health services into schools, churches, and community spaces across the state. These programs include:

Counseling: LFCS offers outpatient therapeutic counseling services to adults, children, couples, and families regardless of their ability to pay. Counseling services are highly accessible, provided at 13 locations throughout St. Louis City and County, Franklin County, Jefferson County, St. Charles County, and Cape Girardeau. School-based counseling services are also available at over 60 schools. Treatment interventions address issues such as marriage, family, and social relationship problems, mood/behavior disruption, difficulties with work/school, and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.

Community Prevention: The school-based prevention program serves children and youth in third grade through high school at 19 schools in St. Louis City and St. Louis County. The program model is an evidence-based combination of curriculum delivered in a group or classroom setting and individual follow-up sessions designed to engage at-risk youth in activities to increase positive life skills and decrease the likelihood of risky behaviors such as bullying, drugs, alcohol, and violence which can lead to mental health issues.

“The individuals and communities these programs serve would not have access to this level of care without LFCS,” says Mike Duggar, President & CEO of LFCS. “The more awareness and financial support we receive throughout the state in honor of World Mental Health Day, the better we can serve these populations.”

Community members who would like to support LFCS’s ongoing efforts are invited to attend the organization’s 36th Annual Dinner and Auction on Saturday, September 21, 2019 at the Four Seasons in St. Louis. For tickets and more information: http://www.lfcsmo.org/event/2019-lfcs-dinner-auction. General donations to sustain funding gaps may be made at http://www.lfcsmo.org/donate-now.

Leave a comment


3dcart Logo

“With more and more customers conducting their shopping on their smartphones, having a high-performing mobile store is a priority for all online businesses. Our partnership with Sandbox Commerce makes that more feasible for our clients.” —Gonzalo Gil, 3dcart CEO


TARAMAC, Fla. (PRWEB)

3dcart, a leading eCommerce platform, announced today that their customers can now convert their stores into shopping applications through the platform’s partnership with Sandbox Commerce, an Austin, Texas-based software company. New and current clients will be able to integrate their online stores with Sandbox Commerce’s app builder, through which they can create apps that connect with their stores.

This connection extends to total synchronicity with the inventories of 3dcart stores. A store’s shopping app will accurately reflect product selection and availability. Store data is imported to allow easy drag-and-drop placement of marquees, collections, and featured items. This connection is possible because store owners must log into their 3dcart account with Sandbox Commerce before they can create an app.

“We couldn’t be more grateful to work with Sandbox Commerce,” said Gonzalo Gil, CEO of 3dcart. “With more and more customers conducting their shopping on their smartphones, having a high-performing mobile store is a priority for all online businesses. Our partnership with this company makes that more feasible for our clients.”

Another part of Sandbox Commerce’s services is their “Social” tier, which allows store owners to showcase images of their products through a curated Instagram feed. 3dcart clients can customize windows that can fit these Instagram posts into any app created through Sandbox Commerce, as well as their website and newsletter.

“This is a great opportunity to partner with a leader in the eCommerce space, and provide their customers a powerful platform to create an omni-channel shopping experience,” said Sterling Smith, Sandbox Commerce founder and CEO.

San Luis Obispo Dentist, Douglas Ng, D.D.S., Releases Dental Care Tips For The Holidays

Leave a comment


dentist San Luis Obispo

We all give in to temptation during the holidays, but following solid dental habits help keep our teeth healthy.


SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (PRWEB)

“Everyone enters the Holiday season with promises to not overdo it,” says San Luis Obispo dentist, Dr. Douglas Ng. “Most of us are going to give in to temptation, and the best insurance for keeping our teeth healthy is a good dental hygiene program and counterbalance sugary foods with healthy food.”

Dr. Ng has some tips to help people have a great Holiday season and stay on top of their dental health. Along with the usual, and very important, advice to try to minimize alcohol, sweets, and other rich foods, the following tips help keep everyone on the dental health path.

The report includes tips and information about the following topics Read the full report on Dr. Ng’s website.


  • Pack a kit to help stick to the daily dental care routine: The kit includes floss, mouthwash, disposable toothbrushes, and maybe even some breath-freshening strips. Disposable toothbrushes, or special tooth wipes, can be thrown away instead of storing a wet toothbrush that might become a bacteria trap. Floss picks are less effective for reaching below the gum line to remove plaque than regular floss, but they are better than nothing during a busy day.

  • Drink plenty of water: Staying hydrated is good for overall health, and helps avoid dry mouth that can lead to gum disease and tooth decay. The busier the season, the more important it is to stay hydrated. The American Dental Association (ADA) reports that even though sparkling water is slightly more acidic to teeth, plain water and sparkling water are “all just plain water to your teeth.”

  • Choose plaque-fighting food: Good news! Holiday turkey is good for your teeth! Healthy food is good for overall health and dental health. There are some foods that are especially helpful for creating saliva and for helping remove plaque. These include: Apples, celery and carrots. The protein, casein, in cheese prevents acid from attacking tooth enamel. Nibble on cheese between sips to help protect your teeth until you can brush and floss.

  • Sip and nibble: Definitely give yourself permission to enjoy the feasting and drinking during the Holidays. There are not too many people who have the will power to not indulge just a little. But, instead of drinking the wine or the cocktail, or crunching that piece of hard candy, consider sipping and nibbling.

  • Don’t open anything with your teeth: When scissors are not available don’t try tearing the gift ribbon with your teeth! “Get up and get the scissors,” says the San Luis Obispo dentist. Don’t pull the cork out of the wine bottle with your teeth. Don’t crack even soft-shelled nuts with your teeth or crunch down on hard candy.

  • Schedule a post-Holiday dental appointment now: Schedule a post-holiday examination and teeth cleaning early instead of waiting until after the Holidays. For one thing, scheduling early is one less thing on the list of things to do. And, the appointment won’t keep getting put off during that after-holiday recovery slump.

Simple Interact and Health1 Technologies Automate Data Push from Online Intake Forms to Centricity EMR and Centricity Practice Solution

Leave a comment


News Image

We are able to complete what used to be a 20-minute task in less than 5 minutes now.


BOSTON (PRWEB)

Simple Interact and Health1 Technologies announce the availability of a solution which automatically pushes patient intake forms from Simple Interact into Centricity™ EMR, a secure platform for capturing and storing patient and medical institution records and sharing them with other stakeholders. Data, including discrete medical history, demographics, contact information, and PDFs, is uploaded faster and more reliably.

With this new capability, medical facilities using Centricity Practice Solution and Centricity EMR report at least 75% reduction in data entry time. Instead of manually entering data, staff review patient-entered data before pushing it to the appropriate Centricity EMR forms in the patient chart. In addition, patient demographic and contact data, as well as PDF copies of the completed forms, are uploaded into Centricity Practice Solution.

“We have been using this new data push capability for several months now and are thrilled with the results!” said Nita Machado, Practice Manager at North Dallas ENT. “Our Medical Assistants are able to complete what used to be a 20-minute task in less than 5 minutes now. Within the Centricity EMR system, we can review the data entered by a patient in one jumbo form and approve each section to be copied over into our individual Centricity EMR forms. We finally have a streamlined, paperless patient intake process that has allowed us to increase provider utilization while reducing costs related to staff time, ink and paper.”

Simple Interact reports that its Integrated HIPAA Compliant Forms service results in:


  • Greater than 50% of new patients fill out forms ahead of time.

  • Greater than 75% reduction in data entry time per new patient visit.

  • Increased provider utilization.

“We are very excited to have partnered with Simple Interact on creating this solution,” said Rahul Patel, Partner at Health1 Technologies. “Improving patient and staff experiences is a central goal of our work and we think that automation of data upload to Centricity EMR will accomplish just that. This solution will provide our clients with a powerful tool which will help medical practices grow, while still providing their patient with the highest quality care.”

“Time is in short supply for healthcare staff and automating repetitive tasks is a huge value add,” said Ravi Kalidindi, CEO, Simple Interact. “Achieving data push capability for Centricity EMR requires deep system level expertise. We found a great partner in Health1 Technologies and are very proud of the robust data push framework we have built together. Centricity EMR users will be impressed with the amount of data we can push and the resulting workflow improvements.”

About Simple Interact

Simple Interact is a cloud-based front office automation solution which helps healthcare providers acquire and retain more patients, while also automating repetitive tasks to efficiently service a high patient load. We address front office concerns such as: Online Reputation, HIPAA Compliant Patient Intake Forms, Effective Marketing of ancillary services, and Patient Engagement including Automated Reminders. Our motto: More Patients. Less Paperwork.

About Health1 Technologies

Health 1 Technologies was founded over a decade ago in 2006 by Jennifer Monahan and Rahul Patel to fill a specific need in the small physician practice space. Our initial goal was to be the practice’s “one stop shop” for all issues or services. We felt practices were often caught in the middle of vendor “finger-pointing” and didn’t know to whom to turn. Rahul Patel’s technical & revenue cycle background and Jennifer Monahan’s clinical background blended perfectly to offer that solution. Both Partners are involved in the daily operations of the organization along with an extremely experienced and knowledgeable team.

Today, we host our client systems in our data center, provide medical billing services, and continue to expand on our range of services that are directly linked to the optimization of the Electronic Health Record and Practice Management into the physician practice, while providing direct leadership in the various quality program regulations. We look forward to the next decade of service to our clients and the healthcare industry as a whole.
