LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. (PRWEB)
September 20, 2019

Susan and Brian Graveno are pleased to announce the launch of their new senior- and family-focused business, Caring Transitions of Lehigh Valley.

Caring Transitions’ specially-trained professionals handle decluttering, organizing, packing, moving, resettling, in-home estate sales and online auctions, estate clearing and preparing homes for market. Caring Transitions of Lehigh Valley serves Allentown, Whitehall, Orefield, Macungie, Emmaus, Quakertown, Coopersburg, Center Valley and the surrounding areas.

“Brian and I have both been impacted by the kinds of situations our clients are facing and, because of this experience, we understand what it takes to get through those kinds of transitions. We know it is a stressful and difficult process, both for the senior and for the family. We are focused on providing high-quality services that help our clients get through those transitions as quickly and smoothly as possible. Our team will do whatever we can to help your family,” Susan said.

Brian is an only child and, when his mother passed away, he and Susan sorted through a lifetime of memories to clear her estate. Susan’s parents lived in an independent living community and, at the same time her father needed hospice and skilled care, her mother needed to be moved into assisted living. Those experiences led them to Caring Transitions and, after Susan’s father died, they made the decision to open their own local franchise.

“My father, Robert Zentz, was the President/CEO of Fellowship Community for more than 22 years. When he passed, I found myself thinking about the joy he got from working with seniors and the impact he made on so many people in our community. I wanted to make that kind of impact. That inspired us make the decision to bring Caring Transitions to this community,” Susan said. “We’re looking forward to providing a much-needed service in this area through a company that’s built on compassion and care.”

Caring Transitions’ services are perfect for managing the many aspects of a senior move or assisting with the process of downsizing to provide a safer living situation, as well as for busy families and people clearing out the home of a loved one who has moved into assisted care or passed. All of Caring Transitions’ services are customizable, so clients choose the solution that best fits their needs.

Susan and Brian are long-time Lehigh Valley residents who have been married for more than 30 years and have three adult children – Evan, Molly and Emily – who will also be involved in the family business. Susan has spent the last 30 years in healthcare sales and marketing. Brian has a background in technology sales and sales management. Throughout their professional careers, they always wanted to have a positive impact on others and their community.

Caring Transitions of Lehigh Valley is bonded, insured and their W2 employees have been background checked. For additional information call (610)904-8093, email SGraveno@CaringTransitions.com or visit http://www.CaringTransitionsofLehighValley.com.

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif. (PRWEB)
September 19, 2019

Boston Medical Group (BMG) of Florida has announced the opening of a new office in Altamonte Springs, Florida.

For 20 years, BMG has been a leading provider of treatment solutions for erectile dysfunction (ED), premature ejaculation (PE) and low testosterone (Low-T). For men who don’t respond to the common ED pills such as Viagra, Cialis, BMG offers its own proprietary treatment known as The Boston Method™ which has helped over a million men restore their sexual confidence to the fullest. The Boston Method™ uses a combination of FDA-approved medications formulated to suit the individual’s need and health conditions; it is proven to work regardless of age or causes. It is now available to men in the greater Orlando and surrounding areas.

In addition, BMG will be offering their newest therapy known as RejuvaPulse™ Therapy. RejuvaPulse™ sends a series of low-intensity, pulsed soundwave directly to the penile tissue and in the process clears out plaques and promotes the formation of new blood vessels necessary for a healthy erectile response. RejuvaPulse™ is completely non-invasive and it has no side-effects. After a series of 12 treatments of about 30 minutes each, RejuvaPulse™ results in stronger erectile function and increased responsiveness to sexual stimulation.

Another exciting technology is called Boston PRP™ which uses ultra advanced technology to collect Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from the patient’s own blood sample. Once activated, this PRP releases a cascade of growth factors that ultimately trigger the local stem cells to repair and rejuvenate worn-out tissues. The effects are heathier penile tissue, stronger blood flow and improved erectile function.

Boston PRP™ works synergistically with RejuvaPulse™ and dramatically increases the therapeutic effects of each treatment. Though not often needed, BMG can offer Stem Cell Therapy for hard-to-treat cases.

Boston Medical Group will be treating men with these therapies, and more, at their new office located at 106 Boston Ave, Suite 204, Altamonte Springs, FL 32701. Confidential appoinments can be made by calling (800) 337-7555 or visit http://www.BostonMedicalGroup.com

About Boston Medical Group: Boston Medical Group (BMG) is a global alliance of medical centers sharing research information and treatment methods for male sexual dysfunction. BMG offices can be found in locations across the United States and around the world. If you would like more information about BMG’s treatment offerings, please call Boston Medical Group at (800) 337-7555 or email usa@bostonmedicalgroup.com

Windsor Vallejo Care Center, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center located in Vallejo, California, recently held its’ annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, recognizing the valuable services their volunteers provide to the residents at the care center.

The program subsequently expanded to include a range of activities for residents, including: arts and crafts, exercise classes, one-on-one reading and conversation, entertainment (musicals, dances and other presentations), and discussion groups. Civic and religious organizations are invited for holiday events, and local and county officials volunteer as guest speakers for special events.

“Each year, we host a special Appreciation Dinner for all our volunteers,” says Cumay-Ao. “We feel it is very important to recognize the selfless efforts of these amazing individuals. This year, close to a hundred volunteers, special guests and staff attended the dinner. We presented volunteers an award and a Congressional Certificate from the Office of Congressman Mike Thompson. The Mayor of Vallejo, Bob Sampayan, was also present and addressed the attendees. And of course, we served great food and provided musical entertainment.”

There are currently over 100 active individuals from various religious groups who volunteer weekly at Windsor Vallejo.
