Northeast Delta HSA unveils Harm-Reduction Vending Machines; effort to reduce drug overdose, misuse


Northeast Delta HSA unveils Harm-Reduction Vending Machines; effort to reduce drug overdose, misuse

Northeast Delta Human Services Authority (NEDHSA) announces the launch of its innovative harm-reduction vending machines. These state-of-the-art machines are designed to provide critical resources and support to individuals at risk of substance abuse, promoting harm reduction and improving public health outcomes.

With the alarming rise in substance abuse and related health issues across the region, NEDHSA has taken a proactive approach to combat this crisis. The harm-reduction vending machines are an innovative solution to bridge the gap between vulnerable populations and the necessary resources to promote safer practices. By making essential harm-reduction tools readily available, NEDHSA aims to minimize the risks associated with substance abuse and promote a healthier community.

NEDHSA Executive Director Dr. Monteic A. Sizer said, “Our harm-reduction vending machines represent a critical step forward in addressing the challenges posed by substance abuse in our community.”

“We believe in meeting individuals where they are and providing them with the tools and resources they need to make healthier choices,” Dr. Sizer said. “Through this innovative initiative, we hope to save lives, reduce harm, and create a pathway to recovery.”

The first vending machine placement will be in the Phoenix Peer Support Center at 722 Adams Street, Monroe, LA 71201. The items placed in the machine are Narcan, Deterra, Fentanyl test strips, Rapid HIV tests, Pregnancy tests, Safe Sex Kits, Needle Cleaning Kits, Hygiene Kits, Wound Care Kits, and Period Packs.

The placement of this vending machine is in line with regional, state, and national harm reduction models. The primary goal is to save lives and protect the health of people who use drugs and those they interact with regionally. In addition to preventing drug-related deaths, NEDHSA’s vending machine strategy will help facilitate access to healthcare, social services, and treatment.

There is no cost associated with accessing any of the products, and it is free and open to the public to use. Those who wish to utilize the machine will also be provided confidential 1:1 peer-to-peer support on using all items.

NEDHSA recognizes that addiction is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted approach. These harm-reduction vending machines are just one component of a comprehensive strategy that includes counseling, education, and community outreach. By combining these efforts, NEDHSA aims to reduce the transmission of bloodborne infections, prevent overdose deaths, and foster a supportive environment for individuals seeking recovery.

Dr. Sizer added: “As I continue to say, our current drug and opioid crisis will only be mitigated when we learn how to effectively work across race, class, governmental silos, and political divisions. Additionally, various addictions will be mitigated once we develop enough compassion for those addicted and get them the evidence-based treatment they need, work to reduce those negative social determinants that drive their addiction, and help the people addicted to illicit substances find something to live for other than drugs. We intend to hold those addicted to substances accountable for their decisions and to help them heal through evidence-based strategies as well.”

Dr. Shervin Naderi Recognized as one of America’s Best Plastic Surgeons for Rhinoplasty in the 2023 issue of Newsweek


Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Shervin Naderi has been recognized as one of America’s Best Rhinoplasty Plastic Surgeons by Newsweek in 2023.

Dr. Shervin Naderi was distinguished in the rhinoplasty category in Newsweek’s prestigious second annual ranking of the country’s top plastic surgeons. He was recognized for his artistic mastery, innovative techniques, and commitment to patient satisfaction at The Naderi Center, which has two locations in the Greater Washington DC metro with offices in Reston Virginia, and Chevy Chase Maryland.

As a preeminent rhinoplasty expert, Dr. Naderi combines his extensive experience and perceptive eye to craft elegant, natural-looking results tailored to each patient. Unlike any other Plastic Surgeon in the United States, Dr. Naderi exclusively performs only one surgery – Rhinoplasty, making him a true Rhinoplasty specialist.

A Prestigious Honor Among the Nation’s Best

Earning a spot on Newsweek’s selective list is an exceptional achievement that denotes superior expertise and patient satisfaction. The America’s Best Plastic Surgeons ranking is based on a rigorous selection process involving thousands of medical professional recommendations and assessments of quality of care.

Out of about 12,000 plastic surgeons only 358 plastic surgeons across 20 states made the final list this year, which speaks to the highly competitive nature of this honor. Dr. Naderi was one of only 165 honored for rhinoplasty surgery.

This prestigious accolade affirms Dr. Naderi’s leading reputation and validates the consistently outstanding care he provides patients. His position among the top plastic surgeons world wide underscores Dr. Naderi’s commitment to achieving beautiful, natural, harmonious results and the highest levels of patient satisfaction through his rhinoplasty practice.

About Dr. Shervin Naderi

Dr. Shervin Naderi is renowned as an exceptional rhinoplasty surgeon and a leading authority on nasal surgery. Although The Naderi Center provides a full array of face and body cosmetic surgery procedures with several ultra specialist surgeons, Dr. Naderi is focused on the nose.

Almost a quarter century ago, after completing his residency in Head and Neck Surgery at Indiana University School of Medicine, Dr. Naderi pursued an intensive fellowship under world-renowned facial plastic surgeon Dr. Stephen Perkins. This advanced training allowed him to hone his skills and develop techniques to expertly handle the intricacies of nasal surgery. He has grown exponentially and innovated far more superior techniques since then.

With over two decades of experience performing thousands of rhinoplasties, Dr. Naderi has become one of the most sought-after rhinoplasty surgeons in the world. He is able to precisely diagnose structural issues and create customized surgical plans to optimize both form and function. A Naderi Nose is uniquely tailored for each patient with no cookie cutter noses and no telltale signs of plastic surgery.

His accomplishments and reputation for excellence have earned Dr. Naderi international recognition. Patients come from all over the United States and overseas for the opportunity to have their surgery performed by Dr. Naderi.

Dr. Naderi’s Prestigious Accolades and Accomplishments

Dr. Shervin Naderi has received numerous honors and distinctions that underscore his leading reputation as an elite rhinoplasty surgeon, including:


  • Double board certification in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery
  • Named one of America’s Best Plastic Surgeons by Newsweek (2023)
  • Recognized as a Top Beauty Doctor (2016)
  • Awarded the RealSelf 500 Award (2015)
  • Selected as one of Virginia’s Favorite Physicians by Vitals Patients’ Choice Award (2016)
  • Chosen as the Most Compassionate Doctor by his patients (2011)
  • Voted the #1 Top Rated Cosmetic Surgeon in Washington, DC
  • Listed in the Global Directory of Who’s Who
  • Named an Outstanding Cosmetic Surgeon by the National Institute of Cosmetic And Plastic Surgery Research

Dr. Naderi’s extensive expertise and commitment to patient satisfaction have earned him a reputation as one of the country’s foremost rhinoplasty experts. But his reputation for honesty and ethics is truly unique in a profession often known for too many sales pitches. Dr. Naderi spends many hours each week talking potential patients out of cosmetic surgery.

A Personalized Approach to Facial Harmony

During consultations, Dr. Naderi conducts a detailed assessment of the entire facial structure. He takes the time to understand his patients’ specific goals and address any concerns they may have. With this understanding, professional insight, and experience, Dr. Naderi crafts personalized surgical plans that aim to create a natural-looking nose, perfectly complementing the individual’s facial features.

Dr. Nader’s patients have the opportunity to see advanced computer imaging to demonstrate the potential outcome of their surgery.

In certain cases, Dr. Naderi may advise patients that rhinoplasty is unnecessary or recommend alternative treatments better suited to their objectives. Patient education and satisfaction take precedence over any other incentives.

Dr. Naderi’s thorough, honest communication and mastery of facial aesthetics have earned the trust of his patients. His focus remains on fulfilling their goals and creating a nose they will feel proud of for a lifetime.

About The Naderi Center

The Naderi Center was founded by Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Shervin Naderi who is an expert in revision rhinoplasty and rhinoplasty surgery. Patients from around the world seek his expertise. The Naderi Center for Plastic Surgery & Dermatology and Dr. Shervin Naderi have been featured in numerous media publications such as the Northern Virginia Magazine, New Beauty Magazine, Capital Files Magazine, Washingtonian Magazine, DC Magazine and Bethesda Magazine, among many others.

HCPro’s ACDIS presents CDI Week, September 18–22, 2023—an annual week of recognition to bring awareness to the clinical documentation integrity profession


CDI Week 2023

“Each year it’s our pleasure to recognize CDI professionals during this special week of festivities. We can never say enough about the essential work CDI professionals tirelessly contribute to improve documentation and patient care for healthcare organizations.” — Rebecca Hendren

The Association of Clinical Documentation Integrity Specialists (ACDIS) presents CDI Week, September 18–22, 2023. This annual week of recognition celebrates the clinical documentation integrity (CDI) profession with a series of complimentary learning opportunities and discounts. This year’s offerings include a free webinar, daily Q&As from the Furthering Education Committee, giveaways, and a deep dive into the state of the industry.

The theme for this year is “CDI success stories: Writing your next chapter!” While the career story of a CDI professional can be rather open-ended, ACDIS wants to focus on how its members can make the most of those blank pages and write the success they want to see, no matter if they area CDI specialist, educator, leader, physician advisor, or HIM professional.

“In many ways, this profession is like an unfinished book, with so much of its future unknown,” said Rebecca Hendren, ACDIS director of programming. “But it can be exciting to not have everything written out for you! Maybe you’ll write a new specialty or position into your next chapter or branch out your story into a whole new setting. The beautiful thing is that CDI professionals have the chance to decide for themselves and author their own careers.”

In conjunction with CDI Week, ACDIS has conducted its 13th annual CDI Industry Survey. This year’s survey examines topics such as provider engagement, professional development and staffing, outpatient CDI and risk adjustment, denial trends and CDI involvement, and workflow tools and technology. With the support of CDI Week’s partners 3M Health Information Systems and Nuance, ACDIS will conduct daily interviews with industry experts and post the interviews on the association’s website.

More information about CDI Week offerings and activities can be found at https://acdis.org/cdi-week.

ACDIS also provides year-round professional development opportunities, including:

British Swim School Dives into the Greater Anaheim Region


“There are many options for swim lessons, but the programs offered by British Swim School are unique and truly set us apart from all others.”

British Swim School, the nation’s leading “learn to swim” franchise company, continues its rapid expansion across North America with the opening of its newest franchise locations in Greater Anaheim’s City of Orange. Lessons will be held at the Embassy Suites at 400 N. State College Boulevard Orange, CA 92868 starting in early August and at the 24-Hour Fitness at 3600 W. Orangewood Avenue. in early September.

New British Swim School owners, Kris and Joanne Salas are no strangers to how businesses run. With extensive backgrounds in healthcare business operations, the couple is well prepared to take on the challenges of franchise ownership. They both specialized in client, resource, and operational management as well as cash application in the healthcare business.

The transition from healthcare to swim schools feels natural for the duo. As they were searching for a new business opportunity, the Salas’s trusted the mission that British swim school offered. “British Swim School offers a proven, gentle, and caring teaching method that focuses on water survival skills and risk mitigation,” Kris explained. “There are many options for swim lessons, but the programs offered by British Swim School are unique and truly set us apart from all others.”

For more than 40 years, British Swim School has been dedicated to teaching water survival skills by teaching infants, children, and adults of all ages the skills needed for water acclimation, water survival, and stroke development. Its mission — ensure that every person, regardless of age or ability, has the opportunity to become a safe and happy swimmer.

Across the nation, eleven people die every day from unintentional drownings, with nearly 4,000 deaths occurring each year. Research shows that participation in formal swim programs, such as those offered by British Swim School, can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children who are most at risk for deaths caused by drowning. However, the risk of drowning isn’t limited to children: a Red Cross survey found that more than half of all Americans (54%) either can’t swim or don’t have the basic swimming skills needed to save themselves in the event of a water emergency.

For Kris and Jojo, swim safety is a driving force behind opening their swim schools. “Swim safety is of utmost importance to us as it encompasses the knowledge, skills, and precautions necessary to minimize risks in water activities,” says Kris. “When I was growing up, swimming brought joy, freedom, and personal growth, providing memorable experiences and a sense of accomplishment. As adults, swimming became a means to maintain fitness, relieve stress, and find tranquility.”

“We’re thrilled to add Kris and Jojo to the British Swim School family,” said Ashley Gundlach, British Swim School President. “We know their first location in Orange will be a terrific addition to the community.”
