Hallstein Water Donation to Hospital Clinica Benidorm Benefits Patients and Health Care Workers

Leave a comment


The Muhr Family

The Muhr Family

“Once the pandemic broke out, we immediately looked at where we could best be of service,” says Hallstein CEO Alexander Muhr.


OBERTRAUN, Austria (PRWEB)

Austrian water purveyor Hallstein Water, has donated 1000 5-gallon bottles (19,000 Liters) and 16 dispensers in support of front line health care workers and patients at Spain’s Hospital Clinica Benidorm. Hydration – and particularly high alkaline water – is a necessary wellness regime, but in this time of COVID-19, it is even more critical in the pursuit of boosting immune systems. Hallstein’s unique natural balance of high 8.3 pH alkalinity with low 0.15mg/l sodium makes it exceptionally rare sourcing from Dachstein Mountain at the base of the Austrian Alps, and therefore is available by subscription only.

“When we learned of the potential of receiving the donation of Hallstein Water we were both elated and deeply grateful,” says Ana Vasbinder, Hospital Clinica Benidorm’s Director of International Relations. “Here in HCB, especially in this difficult and stressful time, we really appreciate the possibility to improve the lives of our patients and employees.”

The donation was facilitated by Spain’s preeminent wellness clinic SHA. “We have a long relationship with the Muhr family,” says Fernando Rojo, General Manager. “When they contacted us asking where they could achieve the greatest possible impact, we immediately thought of our friends at Clinica Benidorm and their fight against COVID-19.”

Dedicated to being responsible stewards of the environment, Hallstein’s founding Muhr family first ensured their aquifer was self-sustaining and did not impact other water sources, then took steps to attain over 57 permits to protect the surrounding geological terrain. The water is captured directly at the source in BPA-free Tritan bottles and completely uncompromised.

“Once the pandemic broke out, we immediately looked at where we could best be of service,” says Hallstein CEO Alexander Muhr. “As Spain became one of the most severely impacted regions, we knew we could make a difference at least in one small way. And are humbled to be in a position to do so.”

About Hallstein Water:

In the spring of 1999, Austrian-born co-founders Elisabeth and Karlheinz Muhr decided their three children, Alexander, Phillip and Stephanie would no longer be drinking beverages with high sugar content like juices and sodas; they set out to discover what the “ideal water” would look like. And then find it. After working with a team of scientists and water experts over the course of several years, they tested – and drank – every commercially available water and discovered that almost every one had been engineered in some way. This launched a global search with the help of hydrogeologists to identify the precise terrain that would produce naturally pure water that met their eight factors for “perfection.” Six years later, it was discovered in their own backyard, the Austrian Alps, and is now available by subscription only. Untreated, Unfiltered, Uncompromised.

After initially losing 100 pounds using Isagenix products, Steve joined the IsaBody Challenge.

This is one of the most important times of our history to be vigilant with healthcare cybersecurity practices.


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB)

When we adjust to our “new normal” after COVID-19, is your healthcare organization protected against the increasing threats facing your new business operations? Emerging medical delivery models and changing consumer demands have increased vulnerabilities in data security and patient care. “The Future of Cybersecurity in Healthcare,” details these vulnerabilities and guides expectations for the years to come.

“Together with several highly respected partners in the healthcare industry, CyberMaxx has produced the most comprehensive report this industry has ever seen,” says Thomas Lewis, CEO of CyberMaxx. “This is one of the most important times of our history to be vigilant with healthcare cybersecurity practices.”

As healthcare technology evolves during the pandemic to make medical information more accessible to physicians, patients and administrators, bad actors are exploiting these new protocols to infiltrate healthcare institutions. Healthcare cyberattacks are more common than ever; some medical systems have reported billions of attempted attacks per year – a rate predicted to only worsen.

“As healthcare cybersecurity professionals, we must maximize our security posture while minimizing disruptions to ensure patients do not suffer the ramifications of healthcare IT vulnerabilities. This is difficult and complex, but we will rise to the challenge,” says Thomas Lewis.

“The Future of Cybersecurity in Healthcare,” investigates the current state of healthcare cybersecurity to uncover the most cutting-edge medical innovations and cybersecurity threats so you are prepared to triage risks as effectively as possible.

Republic Services Spreads Cheer to Healthcare Workers, Young Patients

Leave a comment



PHOENIX (PRWEB)

Through its charitable foundation, Republic Services supported the delivery of nearly 700 care packages to healthcare workers and hospitalized children in Atlanta, Boston, Phoenix, Seattle and St. Louis.

Republic Services provided the care packages to seven hospitals through a partnership with Cheeriodicals, which assembled the gifts and arranged delivery. Republic Services is Cheeriodicals’ first corporate partner to provide care packages to both healthcare workers and pediatric patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Republic Services is proud to be able to support our local hospitals and say thank you, from one essential services provider to another,” said Catharine Ellingsen, president of the Republic Services Charitable Foundation and executive vice president of Republic Services. “We are grateful for the opportunity to bring some cheer to the frontline healthcare workers who are helping take care of our communities as well as children who are facing illnesses during this time.”

The children’s care boxes, containing a plush toy, crafts, activity books and games were delivered to 328 pediatric patients at Banner Thunderbird Children’s Medical Center in Glendale, Ariz.; Franciscan Children’s in Boston; Mercy Children’s Hospital St. Louis, and Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Another 350 “Hospital Heroes” tote bags filled with comfort items including snacks, tea and bath goods were delivered to workers at Jamaica Plain VA Medical Center in Boston, Franciscan Children’s, Seattle Children’s, and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

The grandmother of a young patient in St. Louis shared a photo and message from the family: “My grandson received one of your gift boxes. He had just returned to his room after some tests. The smile on his face rivaled the sun! Great program!”

Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta shared thanks on behalf of its Emergency Department staff:

“The bags and items inside are of such quality and were very well received. It was great to watch the staff pick out a bag and get excited when they saw everything inside. It is clear a lot of love and thought went into these. It was a perfect treat to their day!”
