Caring Transitions of Central St. Louis Offers Full-Serve Solution for Senior Relocation

Leave a comment


The DeClues combine their extensive background in real estate investment with a heartfelt mission to assist seniors in managing life’s transitions. “Take care of those that took care of us” is their guiding mission. They bring over 20 years of experience and a personal touch to their work, stemming from their own experiences with family estate challenges.

“Throughout our careers, we’ve met many seniors burdened by a lifetime of possessions that complicate their ability to move and live comfortably. We’re here to alleviate that stress,” Bob DeClue states. “Our work is more than a service—it’s a promise to provide care and dignity during these pivotal moments.”

The DeClues recognized the necessity of a service like Caring Transitions in the area, as their personal journey with Bob’s parents’ estate was a three-year, daunting journey of preparing a home for sale and handling belongings. Mary also spent years in social work, where she saw patients enter the hospital but not be capable of returning to living independently at home.

“We personally understand the emotional weight of transitioning a family member’s home,” says Mary DeClue. “Having worked in social work, I’ve seen the challenges families face when a loved one can’t return home from the hospital. We’re here now to help families navigate these challenging transitions with ease and respect.”

Caring Transitions of Central St. Louis serves Kirkwood, Sunset Hills, Des Peres, Crestwood, Rock Hill, Webster Groves, Town and Country, Frontenac, Ladue, Creve Coeur, and Maryland Heights. Caring Transitions currently has more than 300 franchise locations serving families across the country.

“The DeClues will make a huge impact on the community by providing top-tier transition services from decluttering a room to helping families move their loved ones into a senior community,” said Ray Fabik, President of Caring Transitions. “Bob and Mary’s real estate investment experience and the family’s passion to serve their community make them perfect franchise owners. The St. Louis community is in great hands with the DeClues.”

Over 65% of Americans say they are comfortable providing feedback to their healthcare provider but believe their feedback does not lead to any change

Leave a comment


  • People reflect higher levels of trust in healthcare settings where they are more likely to know or have chosen the providers, such as primary care providers or specialists, than in hospitals or emergency/urgent care settings.•    People reflect higher levels of trust in healthcare settings where they are more likely to know or have chosen the providers, such as primary care providers or specialists, than in hospitals or emergency/urgent care settings.
  • People place greater importance on the relationship they have with their provider than on getting care when they need it, seeing the interactions they have with a doctor as more of a relationship than a transaction.
  • People want to provide feedback immediately, a majority within 24 hours, while they also prefer to provide feedback online. Yet, two-thirds of people feel their feedback has not led to any change.

“This issue of pulse reinforces that trust remains important to the US healthcare consumer. This is reinforced by the fact they see their healthcare interactions as relationships more than transactions,” said Jason A. Wolf, PhD, CPXP, President & CEO, The Beryl Institute. “They are also telling us they want to help make healthcare better by providing feedback but are not confident their voices are heard or their input acted on. Ultimately, they are telling us we still have work to do. Our hope is this data helps us think about where we can start in elevating our experience efforts in the US healthcare system.”

United States Air Force Deploys LANAP Protocol and Dental Laser Technology to Treat Periodontal Disease

Leave a comment


Used in conjunction with a specialized laser called the PerioLase® MVP-7™, the LANAP protocol selectively removes harmful bacteria and diseased tissue while preserving healthy tissue and regenerating alveolar bone, helping to save teeth from extraction. The no-incision, no-suture procedure will help airmen return to duty significantly faster, with less discomfort and without opioids for post-operative pain compared with traditional surgery.

The adoption of the LANAP protocol represents the first time the Air Force has implemented laser periodontal surgery at the Air Force Postgraduate Dental School, which is part of the 59th Dental Group at Lackland Air Force Base. The 59th Dental Group is the Air Force’s largest dental unit and is responsible for providing oral and maxillofacial healthcare while ensuring service members are medically ready for deployment around the world.

Periodontal disease affects up to 85% of adults and has been linked to many systemic conditions such as heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes, which can impact airmen readiness for deployment.

“Periodontal disease can be particularly problematic for members of the military, many of whom have limited time for lengthy, painful and invasive dental procedures that can impact readiness,” said Robert H. Gregg II, DDS, Founder, President and Chairman of the Board at Millennium Dental Technologies. “With the LANAP protocol, we can treat our military in a way that is less invasive and with faster readiness for deployment. In addition, our laser technology can be used for other procedures such as saving failing dental implants, preventing peri-implantitis and helping to ensure greater implant treatment success.”

As part of the implementation, 16 airmen including periodontists and residents were selected for initial training and certification through the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry (IALD), a non-profit education and research center. The training involved several days of didactic and hands-on, live-patient procedures using the LANAP protocol and PerioLase MVP-7.

“Calibrating Air Force faculty as IALD Instructors in the future will enable ongoing LANAP training and access within the Air Force Dental Corps,” said Dawn M. Gregg, DDS, Training Director, IALD.

Now that training and certification are officially completed, the Air Force joins the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy Dental Corps in adopting the LANAP protocol and laser dentistry to treat periodontal disease and other conditions among U.S. military service men and women.

Headquartered in Cerritos, CA, Millennium Dental Technologies, Inc., is the developer of the LANAP protocol for the treatment of periodontal disease and the manufacturer of the PerioLase MVP-7 digital dental laser. By providing a simple and comfortable experience with unique bone-building clinical results, the company’s FDA-cleared LANAP protocol removes the fear from gum disease treatment, offering a more comfortable and less invasive regenerative treatment alternative to conventional surgery. The Nd:YAG PerioLase MVP-7 has the power and versatility to perform a wide range of soft- and hard-tissue laser procedures including the LAPIP™ protocol to save failing dental implants and BLAST™ protocol to prevent peri-implantitis and enhance implant integration. The company’s founding clinician, Robert H. Gregg, II, DDS, continues to operate the company with the vision: To create better clinical outcomes in periodontal disease patients and to remain true to the guiding principle, “It’s all about the patient.” For more information, visit http://www.lanap.com.

The IALD is a non-profit educational and research center dedicated to providing evidence-based clinical training in advanced laser dentistry therapies. Formed in 1999, the IALD is nationally recognized for its continuing education programs as both an ADA-CERP and AGD-PACE recognized provider. For more information, visit http://www.theiald.com.

Daytryp Health Announces Partnership with Enthea for Groundbreaking Nationwide Availability of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy as an Employee Benefit

Leave a comment


Enthea’s announcement comes after the company recently released news surrounding positive one year data with Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps. Results showed that Dr Bronner’s employees expressed dramatic improvement with various mental health disorders using KAT. As an example, patients with PTSD and depression showed an 86% and 67% reduction in symptoms, respectively.

“Investing in the mental health of employees is absolutely crucial. Daytryp is proud to partner with Enthea to help future-thinking employers offer Ketamine Therapy which have long lasting, transformative outcomes,” said Chris Cohn, CEO of Daytryp Health. “Our team of clinicians and doctors deliver compassionate care while our data-driven approach will help accelerate the adoption of psychedelic therapy by proving the efficacy of these new, innovative treatment modalities.”

Ketamine is known to interrupt unhealthy thought patterns – and also to increase neuroplasticity, thus facilitating some positive rewiring of the brain. “Ketamine is the most effective medical treatment for depression that currently exists,” noted Quinn Snyder, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Daytryp Health. “When a patient’s defenses are lowered using ketamine, they are better able to explore the root of their problems. This can result in long-term relief – and not merely symptom suppression, as is too often the case with today’s conventional therapy.”

About Daytryp Health:

Daytryp is a Ketamine Assisted Treatment organization located in Phoenix, AZ. Daytryp utilizes legal psychedelic medicines, combined with psychotherapy, to treat its clients for many mental health disorders including depression, PTSD, anxiety and trauma. Currently, Daytryp Health offers Ketamine Therapy. They will offer additional psychedelic medicines such as MDMA and Psilocybin as they become legalized for therapeutic use. Daytryp also owns Bird Song 38, a wellness retreat center located in the Arcadia area of Phoenix, AZ. Daytryp Health combines legal psychedelic medications with an experienced team of Doctors, Psychiatrists and Clinicians, as well as data-driven coaching with the goal of continuously optimizing patient outcomes.

About Enthea:

Through Enthea benefit services, companies can cover this new and innovative treatment for their employees and families – leading to improved productivity, increased retention, lower medical costs, and a more engaged workforce. Enthea’s services currently cover ketamine-based treatments and will include MDMA and psilocybin-assisted therapies as they are approved.

Senate Finance Committee Work is Essential to “Real” PBM Reform at the Federal Level

Leave a comment


“NACDS urges Congress to continue to stand strong on a bipartisan basis to confront the middlemen’s ‘pharmaceutical benefit manipulation’ in healthcare and in the legislative process. Past is prologue, and the PBMs will attack and complicate this straightforward and necessary legislation in predictable and misleading ways. For all Americans and for all pharmacies, Congress cannot allow the derailing – or the sabotage – of necessary reforms.

“The legislation to be considered this Wednesday complements aspects of the Modernizing and Ensuring PBM Accountability Act passed previously by the Committee. Together, the two bills include the Medicaid reforms in the NACDS-backed Protect Patient Access to Pharmacies Act; the Medicare reforms in the NACDS-backed Neighborhood Options for Patients Buying Medicines Act – including the must-have ability to ensure ‘reasonable and relevant’ PBM contract terms in Medicare; provisions for strong CMS enforcement; as well as provisions related to Medicare quality measures and transparency.

“Further, it is imperative that the Committee and the Congress stay focused on preventing the ‘pharmaceutical benefit manipulation’ that middlemen achieve by blasting through loopholes in legislation and regulation. NACDS will continue to work with the Committee and with the Congress to identify and prevent well-intended policies that could lead to further manipulation by the PBMs, which harms Americans and pharmacies of all types and sizes.”

NACDS currently is advertising on the vital theme of “real reform.”
