smarTours

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
October 21, 2019

Today, smarTours, the leading provider of value-driven international travel experiences to bucket list destinations, announced the launch of the company’s Battlefields of WWI & WWII tour. The tour will visit locations of world-changing events across five European countries spanning both world wars. The airfare-included tour is truly unique because it visits locations from both world wars, as opposed to other battlefield tours that only visit locations specific to one war, particular battle or geographical area and don’t include airfare.

The 13-day tour visits historic locations across England, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany. History buffs will enjoy highlights such as London’s Imperial War Museum, Churchill War Room and Bunker, Normandy Beaches including Omaha Beach, Dunkirk shores, The Maginot Line, and Ypres (home to the biggest battlefields of WWI and WWII), among many other notable historical locations. Fittingly, this tour ends in Germany, where WWII ended and the Cold War began. A Berlin extension is available where travelers will tour notable locations across East and West Berlin as well as travel to the location of the Potsdam Conference.

Timed to Veterans Day, smarTours is offering a 5 percent discount for veterans and active military. The discount can be used on any departing Battlefields tour.

“One of the top reasons our travelers give for wanting to travel internationally is to learn about the history of the destination. Our Battlefields tour makes it accessible and affordable for any history buff to reach often remote locations on their travel bucket list,” says Kendra Guild, smarTours Director of Product & Operations. “We feel it’s important to offer a discount to veterans and active military, so they can learn more about the history of those who served our country before them.”

The starting price for the airfare included 13-day tour is $3,999 or just $309 a day. smarTours is offering five Battlefields departures that depart April-October 2020. Each tour includes first-class accommodations, ground transportation, English speaking guides, fees for activities and many meals. A 3-day Berlin extension tour is available for an additional $799.

Rose Maljanian Chairman & CEO HealthCAWS and Chairman of the Board Population Health Alliance

Addressing consumers most basic needs as part of this holistic approach must be the first step of engagement rather than an afterthought if we are to make meaningful headway in delivering value to individuals and across populations”, says Rose Maljanian, Chairman and CEO HealthCAWS

FARMINGTON, Conn. (PRWEB)
October 17, 2019

HealthCAWS Inc., a consumer-provider engagement and population health advancement company, announced today that on October 29 2019, Chairman and CEO Rose Maljanian will provide the welcome address entitled “Achieving Value Targets by Addressing Social Determinants of Health as a Critical Population Health Management Strategy” at the Population Health Alliance Innovation Summit and Capital Caucus: Improving Health through Financial Security, the Common Denominator Across Social Determinants and Populations.

“Population Health Management, including a comprehensive and integrated strategy to address behavioral and Social Determinants of Health, is the single most important strategy to drive improvement in quality, consumer experience and cost. Addressing consumers most basic needs as part of this holistic approach must be the first step of engagement rather than an afterthought if we are to make meaningful headway in delivering value to individuals and across populations,” says Rose Maljanian, Chairman and CEO HealthCAWS and Chairman of the Board for the Population Health Alliance.

The healthcare industry at large is evolving to a more consumer focused, accountable system made up of evolved legacy organizations and new entrants all striving to achieve better quality more simply, conveniently and affordably. Community based organizations have for decades worked with health system partners to identify hard to reach individuals and provide a social and cultural context for accessing health care services. Today, substantial momentum has built to invest in greater availability of affordable housing units, more access to meal delivery especially after a hospitalization, transportation and support for combating issues such as financial insecurity and social isolation. While it seems obvious, more recent studies have documenting the link between addressing basic needs, now coined social determinants of health (SDoH), and health status and healthcare costs. This has given rise to new companies focused exclusively on SDoH, hundreds of millions in investments by large managed care companies and foundations, and traditional social service organizations partnering with healthcare organizations to build sustainable business models to systematically identify those with needs and develop capacity to provide services to the resultant larger cohort of individuals identified.    

“I am pleased to lead off this important event for the Population Health Alliance (PHA) and the industry at large as PHA members and partners share insights to fuel further progress on behalf of consumers amongst organizations that serve commercial employers, Medicare, Medicaid and communities at large,” added Maljanian.

By Combining Accountability With Support™ in an adaptable technology Platform along with advisory services, HealthCAWS mobilizes consumers and providers in a unified effort to achieve the common goals of better health, high quality and affordable care, and a differentiated experience-“the CAWS™.” For more information, please visit healthcaws.com.

CROWLEY, Texas (PRWEB)
October 17, 2019

Representatives with Vigorous Innovations announced today that it has launched the pro version of its Percussion Massager for Athletes.

“We’re very excited about the launched of the pro version of our Percussion Massager,” said Justin Robinson, owner and spokesperson for Vigorous Innovations. “It equips users with extended battery life; it’s extremely quiet but still powerful.”

Robinson revealed that the Pro version empowers users with the rejuvenating effects of the VI PRO Percussion Massage Gun without the noise and nuisance of most electric massage percussion devices.

“The VI PRO is trusted by athletes of all ages, personal trainers, physical therapists, chiropractors, and medical staff,” Robinson said, before adding that it also comes with four easy-to-change heads that allow users to quickly and easily swap out a different percussive head for different muscles groups or to spot-treat tired joints or scar tissue.

“The forkhead is great for your back, the bullet head is amazing for pressure points, and the flathead and ball head are great for large areas,” Robinson stressed.

Robinson went on to point out that the ultra-quiet design of the Pro version is unique because most percussive massage guns are extremely loud and can damage users’ hearing.

“The VI PRO features a brushless five-speed motor that delivers 1400-3200 strokes per minute that is so quiet you can use it anywhere (including the office) without bothering other people or pets,” Robinson said. “Each VI PRO comes in a hard shell carry case for total portability. Take it with you to events, competitions, work, or different rooms in your home. A quick charge cable is included along with easy to read instructions, bonus online instruction videos, and a digital eBook.”

To top it off, the newly-released product also comes with a 100 percent money-back guarantee and full year warranty.

As to how customers rate the product, one Amazon reviewer identified as Makai gave it all five stars and described it as an awesome massager.

“I’m a triathlete, and I’ve been thinking about purchasing one of these percussion massagers for a while,” Makai said, before revealing, “I was hesitant to spend that type of money for one and was planning to purchase a cheaper one. I’m so glad I spent the money. This item is powerful, quiet easy-to-use. It arrived on time, and when I open the box it was in its hard case. This massager really gets into hard to reach places and also takes out those knots. I recommend this item if you’re looking to purchase one.”

But he isn’t the only one. A second Amazon reviewer identified as Jeremy Taylor also gave it all five stars.

“I am a sports chiropractor, and this device is a must-have for any sports therapist/clinician as well as for personal use,” Taylor said. “I use it to decrease tone in tight muscles but also to activate muscles that aren’t firing due to injury, inflammation, overuse, or inactivity. I’ve used other therapy guns, but they are so loud and distracting in a clinic. This device is very quiet, and I can use it on patients all day without needing to recharge it. And the price is amazing.”

Set against the backdrop of this city’s ancient history is a thriving start-up culture of innovators and entrepreneurs who are at the epicenter of creating positive disruption through the intersection of healthcare, wellness and technology.

Singapore (PRWEB)
October 17, 2019

The Global Wellness Summit (GWS), the foremost gathering of international leaders in the $4.5 trillion global wellness economy, closed its 2019 conference by announcing that next year’s event will take place in Tel Aviv, Israel, a city bursting with historical and spiritual significance and bustling with innovations that intersect wellness, healthcare and technology. The dates for the 14th annual conference will be November 10–13, 2020. Registration for the 2020 Global Wellness Summit is now open; details can be found here.

A consortium of companies—both inside and outside of Tel Aviv—will serve as host sponsors for next year’s event. The first companies to sign on include Welltech1, a wellness innovation hub and microfund in Tel Aviv; Comtecgroup, an international event production company specializing in medical/scientific conferences; and Geneva-based L.RAPHAEL and R.RAPHAEL in Israel, a well-known luxury beauty brand and technological innovator in anti-ageing skin care.

In making the announcement, Susie Ellis, GWS chair and CEO, told delegates, “We’re thrilled to announce that the Summit will take place in this extraordinary location—one with deep spiritual significance and also firm roots in wellness, including its proximity to the Dead Sea, one of the earliest known wellness destinations.”

Nancy Davis, GWS chief creative officer and executive director, added, “Set against the backdrop of this city’s ancient history is a thriving start-up culture of innovators and entrepreneurs who are at the epicenter of creating positive disruption through the intersection of healthcare, wellness and technology.”

Davis noted that Israel, which is home to the highest concentration of start-ups after Silicon Valley and is known for its cutting-edge technology, is often referred to as “The Start-up Nation.” With this backdrop, the GWS announced plans for the 2020 Summit to include an Innovation Pavilion, which will give delegates the opportunity to meet with the many and varied start-ups working in the wellness industry in Tel Aviv and the wider world.

Welltech1’s co-founder Amir Alroy will play a key role in the Innovation Pavilion. Alroy said, “GWS delegates can expect a curated look at some of the very best wellness start-ups.”

“Israel is home to massive wellness and beauty innovations, and Israeli consumers are consistently among the earliest adopters of cutting-edge wellness-related products and services,” said Israeli-born Ronit Raphael, founder and president of Swiss-based L.RAPHAEL and R.RAPHAEL, which opened the world’s first-ever medical cosmetic center in Israel in 1986. “With a population that is expected to double over the next 30 years, Israel will no doubt lead future global wellness trends, making the country a perfect choice for next year’s Summit.”

The Global Wellness Summit is the world’s largest conference on the business of wellness and is an invitation-only event. Registration is now open, and first-time delegates should apply to attend as soon as possible.
