“Protecting the health and safety of our most vulnerable residents is a top priority of the Arizona Department of Health Services, and we know that residents of long term care facilities are at a higher risk for serious complications and death from COVID-19.”

INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB)
June 15, 2020

Sonora Quest Laboratories (SQL) and hc1 have announced the expansion of their long-standing strategic partnership with the launch of hc1 CV19 Command Center™ for Sonora Quest, a comprehensive solution that integrates with SQL’s world-class lab testing services to systematically coordinate testing and deliver health insights to combat the spread of COVID-19. SQL is supporting the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and the State Health Laboratory by performing targeted COVID-19 PCR viral and serology antibody testing to protect residents and healthcare staff across Arizona’s 147 long-term care (LTC) facilities. The hc1 CV19 Command Center is serving a vital role by providing advanced analytics that support effective testing of those most in need. The solution will also generate insight on risk of infection based on the anticipated 25,000 tests SQL will be performing statewide, enabling healthcare and public health leaders to take immediate, proactive steps to contain future COVID-19 infections and save lives.

“Protecting the health and safety of our most vulnerable residents is a top priority of the Arizona Department of Health Services, and we know that residents of long term care facilities are at a higher risk for serious complications and death from COVID-19,” said Dr. Cara Christ, director of the Arizona Department of Health Services. “It is critical that we can test the residents of these facilities and the staff that care for them. With the help of Sonora Quest, Arizona has expanded the capacity to test more people and I appreciate their partnership.”

Sonora Quest and its community allies expect to utilize insight provided by the hc1 CV19 Command Center to implement and assess the impact of testing guidelines including the introduction of serological monoclonal antibody testing for healthcare professionals to determine whether they have been exposed and developed potential immunity to COVID-19. Eventually, the program could be expanded to include family members who are frequent visitors.

“Sonora Quest is uniquely positioned in the marketplace to be the only lab capable of conducting this testing given our current work with the long-term care facilities in the state, our testing capacity and our ability to successfully meet our objective of keeping our healthcare communities informed and well,” said David Dexter, Sonora Quest Laboratories President & CEO. “The hc1 CV19 Command Center will be instrumental to manage and respond to the testing we provide for this population.”

hc1 CV19 Command Center is an integral component of hc1 Workforce Advisor™, a return-to-work solution that enables organizations to effectively implement and monitor systematic lab testing and symptom checking guidelines consistent with national and local best practices. Using a secure, HIPAA compliant process, lab test results are organized and trends are displayed in easy to use dashboards sorted by employee and workplace location.

“Long-term-care and skilled nursing facility residents are extremely vulnerable to severe illness and mortality when they are infected and develop COVID-19,” said Brad Bostic hc1 CEO. “Due to our concern for the health and well-being of these communities, hc1 has partnered with Dave Dexter and his team at Sonora Quest Labs to help save lives. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with SQL and ADHS to serve this critical need for many of Arizona’s senior residents.”

Cyclebar Richmond Heights and Creve Coeur Reopens

Our CycleBar Richmond Heights and Creve Coeur members are like family to us, and it’s important to us to provide them with an environment where they feel safe and comfortable

ST. LOUIS (PRWEB)
June 15, 2020

In preparation for their re-opening on June 15, CycleBar Richmond Heights and Creve Coeur have focused on putting measures in place to help ensure the safety of members as they return to their indoor cycling sessions. A primary element of the studios’ safety plan includes the installation of iWave Purification Systems at both locations. CycleBar Richmond Heights and Creve Coeur are among the first fitness centers in the region to install the system, which have been tested and are already fully operational.

The iWave system emits ions that, when in contact with pathogens, bacteria or mold, remove their hydrogen molecules. In addition, the ions also attach themselves to allergens like pollen and other particles, causing them to band together until they are large enough to be caught by the facility’s ventilation system’s air filter. This creates an overall healthier environment without introducing harmful byproducts.

“Our CycleBar Richmond Heights and Creve Coeur members are like family to us, and it’s important to us to provide them with an environment where they feel safe and comfortable,” said owner Paul Schnapp. “Our staff has always taken great pride in the cleanliness of our studios, and we’re now taking that commitment to the next level. In partnering with St. Louis-based iWave, we can stay ahead of the curve and create the safest environment for members to pursue their fitness goals.”

CycleBar’s re-opening on June 15 will meet and exceed all of St. Louis County’s social distancing practices and cleaning protocols to ensure member health and comfort. Class sizes will be limited, but the number of classes available will increase to meet members’ needs.

About CycleBar:

CycleBar is the largest indoor cycling franchise in the world, offering riders a 45-minute full-body workout in an immersive concert environment with state-of-the-art tracking, audio and lighting. Its parent company, Xponential Fitness, boasts a variety of premium fitness brands including Club Pilates, StretchLab, Row House, Pure Barre, YogaSix, AKT, and STRIDE. Each location is independently owned and operated. CycleBar Richmond Heights can be found online at https://www.cyclebar.com/location/richmond-heights, and Creve Coeur is online at

MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB)
June 15, 2020

Zipnosis, leading telemedicine innovator since 2009, announced today a new, end-to-end return to work solution: ZipCheck. ZipCheck manages the ongoing COVID-19 screening, testing, treatment, and population management for employers looking to continue operations while mitigating risk and protecting their employees’ and customers’ safety.

Through ZipCheck, Zipnosis manages the complexities of healthcare behind the scenes so employers don’t have to. Like all Zipnosis products, ZipCheck is HIPAA Compliant, HITRUST certified, and built on best practice clinical guidelines and evolving recommendations from the CDC.

The employee screening and testing experience is accessible and seamless. There is no app download required, and both employers and employees can access the platform from any device with internet connection. Employees simply complete a COVID-19 screener on a regular cadence to check for symptoms and risk factors. From there, answers are carefully reviewed by certified providers. If appropriate based on their screening responses, the employee is cleared to work. Otherwise, an at-home COVID-19 test kit will be ordered and delivered to their front door via overnight shipping. ZipCheck offers both diagnostic and antibody tests for COVID-19.

“The reality is that until vaccination or herd immunity is reached, people are still at risk of contracting COVID-19,” said Dr. Lisa Ide, Chief Medical Officer at Zipnosis. “That’s why we felt it was critical to offer a solution to employers across the country that is built on a strong clinical foundation so they can keep their employees safe and mitigate the risk of spread.”

With the ZipCheck dashboard, employers can access insights into their employee populations’ health in real-time. The platform showcases how many employees are symptomatic and staying home and those who are ready to return to work each day. It is also customizable to employers’ unique HR policies and guidelines, helping employers make informed decisions and build trust with not only their employees, but customers.

“As employers strive to return to business they need to keep their teams and customers safe–while mitigating legal risk. Our platform is flexible, scalable, HIPAA compliant, and built on strong clinical content. Frankly, we felt an obligation to use the technology and healthcare expertise we’ve built over 10 years to help Americans safely return to work, which is how ZipCheck was born,” said Jon Pearce, Zipnosis CEO.
