Shady Grove Fertility (SGF), a leader in reproductive medicine, will be hosting a complimentary patient seminar in the UK to discuss their renowned International Donor Egg Program. Shady Grove Fertility Founder and UK Program Director, Michael J. Levy, M.D. will outline the donor egg treatment process and discuss the specifics about this integrated program that allows patients to access exceptional services provided locally by multiple, local clinics and the donor egg registry available only at SGF.

Among the many benefits of SGF’s program, couples and individuals choose a medically, genetically, and psychologically prescreened egg donor who is ready to cycle and donate, without the wait. While SGF’s donor registry de-identifies the donors, the donor registry provides prospective recipients (the intended parents) with a wealth of information about the donor, including, in many cases, adult photos.

SGF, a pioneer in offering an IVF treatment financial guarantee for donor egg, makes treatment affordable through their exclusive Shared Donor Egg Program and Shared Risk 100% Refund Program for Donor Egg Treatment. With an IVF treatment guarantee, participants take home a baby or receive a 100% refund. Combined, these two programs offer patients up to six donor egg cycles for one flat amount at a 40 percent savings. SGF’s Donor Egg Program provides patients with a highly effective treatment to overcome infertility, with a 60 percent clinical pregnancy rate per embryo transfer.

Amanda Segal, SGF’s International Patient Liaison, will be onsite in London to discuss the benefits, success rates, and financial affordability of SGF’s program. Attendees of the free seminar will learn about traveling abroad for treatment, with only two trips required. In addition, former SGF patients will share their experience and journey to parenthood through this unique program.

The event will take place on 3 November 2019 at 18:00 (6 PM – 8 PM) at the Grosvenor House, a JW Marriott Hotel, Burlington Suite. 86-90 Park Lane, London W1K 7TN. Register for the seminar to learn more.

“We feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Levy. He is a wonderfully gifted doctor and so very calm and reassuring throughout the process. We are currently 5 months pregnant and have had such a positive experience with SGF,” shared a former Dr. Levy patient.

A nation-wide coalition of leading organizations, associations, trade groups and societies have come together in support of convenient care, urgent care, emergency medicine, retail medicine, worksite clinics, and telehealth. This coalition called the On-Demand Medicine Association Collaborative will discuss and address common industry challenges of the on-demand healthcare industry and to support more accessible healthcare across the country.

The inaugural meeting held on July 17, 2019 was attended by the senior leaders of six prominent organizations within this growing healthcare segment. Attending were: Larry Boress, Executive Director, the National Association of Worksite Health Centers (NAWHC); Tine Hansen-Turton, MGA, JD, FCPP, FAAN, Executive Director, the Convenient Care Association (CCA), Sabrina Smith, DRHA, Executive Director, Center for Applied Research in Telehealth (CART), ATA, Laurel Stoimenoff, PT, CHC, CEO, the Urgent Care Association (UCA); Juli Forde, Board Member, the Emergency Department Practice Management Association (EDPMA); and Bill Bruce, MBA, CAE, CEO, American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM). In addition to those who attended in-person Magna Dias, MD, President, Board of Directors, the Society for Pediatric Urgent Care (SPUC) will also participate in future endeavors.

“Our intent is to collectively address common issues and challenges associated with access to medical care and those settings where on-demand medicine is being offered,” stated Laurel Stoimenoff, UCA CEO. “Given the dynamic nature of the on-demand healthcare industry, we see our coming together as an important call-to-action to ensure we are staying abreast of key issues and trends of this important healthcare vertical which is meeting the needs of millions of patients and consumers every year.”

During the first meeting of the On-Demand Medicine Association Collaborative, the group initiated discussions on a number of timely subjects ranging from regulatory and reimbursement advocacy to the challenges of the opioid crisis. While each organization has a different strategic agenda, common areas where collective advocacy could be beneficial were identified. The participating groups intend to address this common ground with a unified voice, representing countless members and consumers across the country.

The collaborative will meet on a regular basis, and will prioritize the most relevant issues which may include reducing administrative costs, refining the role of on-demand care as a partner in the medical neighborhood, providing input on national standards for licensing, credentialing and scope of practice, and developing an educational platform to address the current opioid crisis. Current participants in the discussion are empowered by these initiatives which will yield improvements in care delivery, administrative efficiency and patient outcomes. Meetings are open to other organizations in the on-demand care space.

SILVER SPRING, Md. (PRWEB)
October 23, 2019

Each November, the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) launches a national campaign to raise awareness about pulmonary hypertension (PH), a progressive lung disease defined by high blood pressure in the lungs that can cause right heart failure and death.

In 2019, Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Month focuses on promoting risk factors and symptoms by featuring “PHaces of Hope,” courageous individuals who live with PH. The complex disease is thought to affect an estimated 25 million adults and children worldwide, and can occur among those with left-heart disease, along with other associated conditions such as sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or scleroderma, or from congestive heart issues among babies and young children. The disease is significantly underdiagnosed and misunderstood. For example, many people with PH are misdiagnosed with more common illnesses, such as asthma. Symptoms, including shortness of breath, fatigue and chest pain, are not necessarily specific to PH and can lead to dangerous delays in a correct diagnosis.

Although no cure exists, early diagnosis and proper treatment can extend and improve a patient’s quality of life. In addition, advances in treatment and a better understanding of PH have led to effective therapies, better quality of life and improved survival for many types of PH, once diagnosed.

“Although treatment options exist to help people with PH, early diagnosis is still a problem for many individuals and that is why awareness of the disease is so critical,” said Karen A. Fagan, M.D., PHA Board of Trustees chair, professor of internal medicine and pharmacology, and chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine at the University of South Alabama, Mobile, Ala. “Our campaign targets awareness among those in the medical community as well as patients, since early diagnosis can lead to better outcomes.”

The “PHaces of Hope” campaign celebrates a community of individuals with PH, along with their caregivers and health care professionals, who continue to inspire and empower others.

PHA asks that people in the PH community submit either a short written or video story by filling out a form at PHAssociation.org/ShareYourHope. Stories from the campaign will be shared on PHA’s social media channels and on the PHA website at PHAssociation.org/PHaces.

PHA’s outreach during November includes social media (including its special “PHaces of Hope” campaign), advocacy and educational components to drive awareness and ultimately a cure for PH. More information about PH, the campaign and how to spread awareness can be found at: PHAssociation.org/AwarenessMonth.

PHA is grateful for the sponsorship support provided by Actelion Pharmaceuticals U.S., Inc. for Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Month.

About the Pulmonary Hypertension Association

Headquartered in Silver Spring, Md., the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) is the country’s oldest and largest nonprofit patient association dedicated to the pulmonary hypertension (PH) community. Pulmonary hypertension is a rare, chronic and life-threatening disease of the lungs for which no cure currently exists. PHA’s mission is to extend and improve the lives of those affected by PH. To achieve this mission, PHA engages people with PH and their families, caregivers, health care providers, and researchers worldwide who work together to advocate for the PH community, provide support to patients, caregivers and families, offer up-to-date education and information on PH, improve quality patient care, and fund and promote research. For more information, visit PHAssociation.org and connect with PHA on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
