“Our continued success benefits from providing outstanding service to our constituents, and we look forward to collaborating with other independent radiology groups in Strategic Radiology to advance best practices.”


RICHMOND, Va. (PRWEB)

Radiology Associates of Richmond (RAR), one of the oldest, continuously operating private radiology practices in the United States, has aligned with the Strategic Radiology (SR) coalition of independent practices.

RAR represents the first member from the state of Virginia to join the SR coalition, which has 28 member practices in 20 different states. The Richmond practice is highly subspecialized with 60 radiologists, provides interpretations and department leadership for two health systems, and offers community access to medical imaging and interventions through four outpatient centers and an outpatient vascular center.

“With its deep community roots, sophisticated infrastructure, and commitment to independence, Radiology Associates of Richmond will be a great asset to our coalition,” said Arl Van Moore Jr, MD, FACR, CEO and chair, SR. “Every one of our practices adds to the rich and diverse gene pool that Strategic Radiology has developed, and we are excited to have RAR as the newest member of the Strategic Radiology family.”

RAR was founded in 1905 and has served the Central Virginia community since the early days of radiology. It currently provides radiology services to the Hospital Corporation of America and the Mercy Health System/Bon Secours. Members of RAR sit on multidisciplinary committees, spearhead radiation safety initiatives, and contribute to staff training at many service locations.

“Our group strives to practice world-class radiology at all times remembering that the needs of our patients, referring physicians, and hospital partners come first,” said Ray A. Beauchamp, MD. “Our continued success benefits from providing outstanding service to our constituents, and we look forward to collaborating with other independent radiology groups in Strategic Radiology to advance best practices.”

The Richmond practice has a well-developed quality and business infrastructure that includes a robust analytics-based quality program as well as a managed services organization that provides revenue cycle, IT, data warehousing, and financial services.

Productive Plastics Face Shield

Productive Plastics Face Shield

“We recognized that with our existing manufacturing expertise and resources we are in a unique position to serve our community in a time of need, especially the healthcare and essential professionals, by manufacturing these face shields,” said Hal Gilham, CEO of Productive Plastics.


MT. LAUREL, N.J. (PRWEB)

Productive Plastics, a leading heavy gauge plastic thermoforming contract manufacturer, announces that it is now manufacturing face shields to be used as personal protective equipment (PPE) to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. These face shields are single use, made to be worn by frontline healthcare professionals and for any essential professional (retail, grocery, food service, delivery) where personal interaction is necessary. All Productive Plastics face shields are proudly manufactured in the USA.

Productive Plastics’ face shield has an innovative design that maximizes protection, freedom of head movement, and comfort. Utilizing its over 65 years of plastic and manufacturing expertise, with assistance from various industry business partners, Productive Plastics was able to dedicate a portion of its existing manufacturing operation to begin producing a very high quality face shield at a cost competitive with both foreign and domestic suppliers. With the addition of new machinery and an anticipated hiring of a 10-15% increase in their workforce, Productive Plastics is estimating the production of 5,000 to 10,000 face shields per day to meet the high demand for PPE. Initial production runs will be donated to local hospitals, first responders, and other essential employees.

“We recognized that with our existing manufacturing expertise and resources we are in a unique position to serve our community in a time of need, especially the healthcare and essential professionals, by manufacturing these face shields,” said Hal Gilham, CEO of Productive Plastics. “We are extremely proud not only to be part of the solution in the response to this pandemic, but to also be able to offer employment to some of the people in other industries that were displaced by the economic effects of these challenging times.”

Features and benefits of Productive Plastics face shields include:

  • Reduced risk of exposure- extended forehead and side shielding provides full face protection, further reducing the risk of exposure from respiratory droplets

  • Greater freedom of movement – contoured design avoids impact with shoulders and chest

  • Spacious design – easily fits over other commonly used mouth and eye PPE

  • Increased visibility – anti-fog coating available

  • Lightweight and comfortable fit

  • Proudly made in the USA

Productive Plastics face shields are offered for sales in bulk quantities to hospitals and other medical, dental, or clinical businesses, as well as to distributors and companies in need of PPE. The minimum order quantity is 1,000. To inquire specifically about this product, please email: faceshields@productiveplastics.com.

Productive Plastics will continue to seek for new ways to bring its resources and expertise to bear in support of its valued customers, frontline heroes, and other communities in need during this challenging time.

The Productive Plastics Face Shield is authorized by the FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for use by healthcare providers as PPE and is only authorized for the duration of the EUA unless authorization is terminated or revoked sooner. This product has not yet been FDA cleared or approved. Body contacting materials include latex free elastic band, open cell foam padding, and PET visor.

SYDNEY (PRWEB)

Directors Mick McIntyre and Kate McIntyre Clere’s provocative tale of investigative journalism, KANGAROO A Love-Hate Story, is the critically acclaimed documentary that VARIETY compared to The Cove and Blackfish about the beloved icon’s fate in the largest mass destruction of terrestrial wildlife in the world. The multi-award-winning, controversial film is available globally on May 27th on all Digital/Streaming/Vod platforms. The comprehensive feature has made headlines due to the dramatic reaction.

#FitForTheFrontLine Challenge Unites Nation’s Top Medical Centers in Support of Front-Line Health Care Workers

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

As much of the country continues to self-isolate due to the coronavirus pandemic, medical centers across the United States are joining forces to start a country-wide movement of physical activity to honor and support front-line health care workers who have worked tirelessly to save lives. #FitForTheFrontLine is a national fitness challenge beginning Tuesday, May 26 and culminating on Sunday, June 14 (Flag Day). The event encourages Americans young and old to move, exercise, and get fit to increase awareness and raise funds to support our nation’s health care heroes.

“Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, the front line of nurses, doctors, scientists, and other support staff has met the historic challenge in the war against the virus,” said Richard A. Friedman, Co-Chairman, Mount Sinai Boards of Trustees and Chairman of the Merchant Bank-ing Division of Goldman Sachs & Co. “The #FitForTheFrontLine challenge empowers all Americans to take part during this still-challenging time.”

The call to action is simple: choose any activity; dedicate your activity to the #FitfortheFrontLine organization; post the institution donation link; and ask your network to pledge support. Gifts of any size make a difference and will support our frontline staff including our recently launched Center for Stress, Resilience, and Personal Growth—which focuses on the screening, treatment, and research of the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health and lives of frontline health care workers. This support ensures our frontline staff stay mentally fit, too.

#FitForTheFrontLine partner medical centers include Mount Sinai Health System, Baylor College of Medicine, BJC HealthCare, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Cedars Sinai, Cleveland Clinic, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Hackensack Meridian Health, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Mayo Clinic, MedStar Health, Michigan Medicine, Montefiore Einstein, New York Presbyterian, Northwell Health Foundation, Northwestern Medicine, NYU Langone Health, Penn Medicine, RWJBarnabas Health, Temple Health, The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, University of Chicago Medicine, UW Medicine, Washington University in St. Louis, Weill Cornell Medicine and Yale New Haven Health.

Goldman Sachs & Co., Peloton, Discovery, NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations, dtx and Pinterest recognized the brave work of all front line workers and have signed on to be the founding corporate sponsors for the #FitForTheFrontLine challenge. As part of their involvement, the sponsors will mobilize employees to join the movement, incentivize company-wide goals and / or matching donations, leverage senior leaders to serve as influencers, and promote the campaign through social media posts on their corporate channels.

Unfortunately, COVID-19 will not be vanquished overnight. The fight will continue. Our front-line workers will care for and follow patients with long-term effects of COVID-19, and these brave heroes may yet mobilize again to face future outbreaks. They need our support now. No matter what the need is, our communities count on our front lines to be there for them and we will continue to count on our communities to support our front lines.

For more information, visit http://giving.mountsinai.org/msfftfl.

1) Choose a healthy activity.

2) Promote to your network that you are doing this activity to support Mount Sinai’s caregivers on social media with #FitForTheFrontLine and @mountsinainyc.

3) Challenge your network to donate to http://giving.mountsinai.org/msfftfl and do the same!
