Magruder Laser Vision

Magruder Laser Vision

It’s better for our patients because it’s more convenient, more comfortable, and offers our high-touch offerings with greater flexibly.


ORLANDO, Fla. (PRWEB)

Dr. Brock Magruder Jr is pleased to announce construction of a state-of-the-art intraocular surgery suite in Magruder Laser Vision’s College Park office. “We are building our own office-based surgical suite because it’s the future of intraocular surgery. It’s better for both our guests and the team because we control the schedule, equipment, sterility, staffing, and management. It’s better for our patients because it’s more convenient, more comfortable, and offers our high-touch offerings with greater flexibly. We also anticipate cost savings both for patients and third-party payers.”

MLV has a co-development arrangement with iOR Partners, a national company that has over 25 years of experience in the surgical field. iOR Partners offers expertise on the construction, staffing, training, supplying, certification and outcome tracking of office-based surgery suites. Dr. Magruder Jr., who recently retired from medical practice to become CEO of Magruder Laser Vision, is committed to providing Central Florida with a World Class Vision Correction Center and has been delighted with the relationship with iOR Partners.

Demolition and construction began in April during the statewide quarantine, and procedures are slated to begin in the first part of June.

We’ll have the latest technology, the best surgeons and the safest environment right in our own office.” 

From the patient’s perspective, Office Based Surgery seamlessly integrates clinic and surgery in one location, providing a comfortable and personalized premium surgical experience. Procedures such as Refractive Cataract Surgery, Refractive Lens Exchange, and Intraocular Contact Lens placement will all be performed in the new center. Magruder Laser Vision will offer the option of surgery in both eyes in the same day for most of these procedures.

“We are excited to add this new patient-centric amenity to our practice. My only regret is personally retiring from surgery before I could do procedures there myself!” said Dr. Magruder.

Canadian Tech Startup EssentialGoods.org Finds Creative Solution for “Out of Stock” Essentials

Leave a comment


News Image


COLLINGWOOD, Ontario (PRWEB)

With the international COVID-19 pandemic and the push by governments to #stayhome, more consumers are going online to shop for essential items. However, online stores face the same out of stock issues as retailers, leading EssentialGoods.org of Collingwood, Ontario, Canada to create a new alert system that allows people to access essential items most commonly out of stock. After a quick turnaround, the service is operational as of April 20th.

“Currently, people are having to constantly be online monitoring stock levels to ensure their families get what they need,” said Jon Gillham, CEO of adbank. “We wanted to take the stress and anxiety out of that process, especially for those most affected by the crisis, like seniors and front line healthcare workers.”

The solution is simple:

1) The user creates an account at https://essentialgoods.org

2) The user selects the in-demand products their family needs most

3) Users will receive a text SMS alert immediately when that item is in stock so they don’t miss the opportunity to purchase. The service is 100% free for seniors and essential workers.

Created by Conor Watt, Lead Developer at adbank, who had been developing a service that utilized an Amazon.com API, a clever pivot allowed him to create a stock level monitoring system that is now EssentialGoods.org.

“I realized that a simple tech solution could help solve one of the many problems people are experiencing during this epidemic,” said Watt.

At present, the system only monitors Amazon.com, which Canadians can still order from, with plans to include Amazon.ca soon after launch, as well as explore other online retailers.

“Safety is a top priority during a public health crisis. This is why the team has built-in extra layers of quality control to ensure that people are being alerted only when a product meets their standards,” said Narcis Bejtic, Operations Lead at adbank. “This combats low-quality counterfeit products as well as suspicious resellers.”

EssentialGoods.org will donate 5% of profits to The CDC Foundation and The Collingwood Hospital Foundation. The service is 100% free for seniors and essential workers and will have a low monthly fee for other users to cover operational costs, after a free trial period.

Essential Goods was built by the team at adbank, a Canadian-based ad tech startup, building blockchain-based ad platforms that tackle the $50 billion ad fraud problem. Using AI and blockchain technology, the adbank network provides full transparency of transactions between advertisers and publishers while creating a new cryptocurrency powered ecosystem that detects and reduces fraud at scale.

F&D Reports / Creditntell’s Ongoing Coverage of COVID-19 and its Impact on Retail Helps Business Customers Respond

Leave a comment


News Image

We’ll soon shift from surviving the shutdown to reopening competitively, and consumers are not likely to return as rapidly as the market hopes. With our enhanced reporting on the pandemic, our clients receive on-demand information that helps protect their businesses during this crucial time.


GREAT NECK. N.Y. (PRWEB)

Industry-leading retail consulting firm Information Clearinghouse, Inc. (ICI), through its F&D Reports and Creditntell divisions, has expanded its slate of coverage of the COVID-19 outbreak, documenting the ensuing effects on U.S. retailers, wholesalers and consumers, and thus allowing customers to better forecast current and future business risks.

ICI’s ‘COVID-19: Retailers Most at Risk’ examines specific retail sector companies impacted by the pandemic, detailing the consequential direct, indirect, short-term and long-term issues. The report denotes the responsive actions and recent financial performance of companies in the department store, sporting goods, apparel, off-price, health & beauty, movie theatre, casual dining, home furnishings, building materials, pet, fitness, arts & crafts, and cruise line sectors. Meanwhile, the Credit Facility Focus recaps recent drawdowns along with other key credit facility / liquidity information for all of ICI’s monitored industries, as companies across numerous segments continue to draw substantial amounts on their revolving lines of credit to supplement their cash positions. Additionally, ICI offers a consistently updated compendium of retail store closings, with state-by-state stay-at-home mandates (Retail Store Closings Related to COVID-19), as well as retailer-specific ‘Cash Burn Analysis’ reports to forecast cash flow swings based on each company’s responsive measures.

ICI’s COVID-19 coverage includes a newly released webinar detailing the pandemic’s aftershocks for the foodservice industry (COVID-19: Implications for the Foodservice Distribution Channel); the grocery sales surge from stockpiling and panic buying (Grocery Sector: Implications of COVID-19); consumer response to store closings, reduced hours, social distancing and quarantine measures (COVID-19 Consumer Impact); the consequences for Amazon, its sellers and customers (Amazon Delivers on COVID Demand, but Issues Linger); details on the Federal Reserve’s loan programs (Federal Reserve Actions); and a comprehensive review of the progression of the pandemic and the resulting pressures on the retail and wholesale sectors (COVID-19 Impact on U.S. Economy).

ICI’s in-house industry expert team has also completed in-depth, company-specific COVID-19 impact analyses on dozens of major retail chains.

Commenting on the pandemic coverage, ICI CEO Lawrence Sarf stated, “The retail and wholesale sectors face unprecedented challenges related to supply chain management, cash flow preservation, consumer and labor force health and safety, and rapidly shifting customer demand. Navigating the short-term issues alone will not ensure success or even survival, as the world that emerges from this crisis will be fundamentally changed. We will soon shift from surviving the shutdown to reopening competitively, and consumers are not likely to return as rapidly as the market hopes. With our enhanced reporting on the pandemic, our clients receive on-demand information that helps protect their businesses during this crucial time.”

Nobody Should Be Stuck Waiting For COVID-19 Relief Checks

EchoPay today gifted $50 bonus payments to direct deposit customers

“Tens of millions of unbanked and underbanked Americans do not have a reliable way to receive direct-deposit COVID-19 relief payments,” says, Ronald Ingram, Founder of Henderson, Nevada based, ECHO Payment Systems Inc.


HENDERSON, Nev. (PRWEB)

Amid media reports of mounting confusion and frustration with the rollout of coronavirus relief checks, a Henderson, Nevada company advocates they have a solution and today rewarded their customers with bonus payments.

“The Federal Reserve and other authorities report tens of millions of unbanked Americans. These Americans do not have a reliable way to receive direct-deposit COVID-19 relief payments”, says Founder of Henderson, Nevada-based, Echo Payment Systems Inc. (EchoPay), Ronald Ingram.

“We all have friends and neighbors who have lost jobs, are overdue on rent or mortgage payments, and even are struggling to buy food for their family in many instances. They’re checking the mailboxes for a check. This need not be – we have a solution”, describes Ingram.

Today EchoPay announced that all EchoPay customers that had Direct Deposit as of today’s date will see a gift of $50 deposited to their accounts.

“We value our customers and are always looking for ways to help. Our team decided that the best way we can help our customers during this economic hardship was to give them a gift with no strings attached – something to help them fill the tank, buy a meal, or help pay a bill. These are unprecedented times and we decided to respond in an unprecedented manner”, says Ingram.

While an estimated 80,000,000 Americans who are already set up for government direct-deposit have received their stimulus payments, media outlets report tens of millions of Americans have been left waiting for checks to arrive in the mail. Having immediate access to funds during this challenging time is important for everyone, but especially for those who do not have proper access to basic banking. The unbanked and underbanked as reported frequently in Federal Reserve and FDIC reports are particularly hard hit.

The EchoPay debit card and mobile app enable digital receipt of stimulus checks by direct deposit without having to step foot in an old-school bank branch, and there is no waiting for a paper check in the mail nor misdirected direct deposits.

While EchoPay has a small monthly fee (under $5), that fee is waived when customers receive over $1,000/month from the government and/or their employer. “Customers are getting paid sooner, faster, and with no monthly fee in the case of most customers utilizing direct deposit”, Ingram added, “…we believe that nobody should be stuck waiting for COVID relief checks.”

About Echo Payment Systems Inc.

EchoPay is open to all Americans at http://www.echopay.me. No credit check is required and there’s no fee to open an account and receive a card. Information on how to receive payroll direct deposits for future payments, future employment and or future COVID-19 relief payments are also available on the website. The EchoPay card arrives in about one week and can be used to make purchases anywhere the major card brands are accepted, including online.

EchoPay was founded by Ronald Ingram in July 2015 with a vision to bring banking into the future. Mr. Ingram has been in financial services and banking technology starting with the largest Canadian national investment firm in 1993 and progressing through increasingly responsible roles in commercial banking and financial systems with TD Bank and BMO – two of the largest banks in the world. Mr. Ingram is a speaker at banking conferences, innovator and professional member of the World Future Society. He is sheltering in Henderson, NV with his wife of 29 years and their two rescue dogs.

GYMGUYZ Expands with Sixteen New Territories in First Quarter; Primed for Further Growth Despite Economic Concern

Leave a comment



LONG ISLAND, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Josh York created GYMGUYZ at his parents’ dining room table in Plainview, New York during the economic crisis of 2008 — so he is no stranger to prevailing in times of hardship and uncertainty. The 250+-unit personal training franchise specializes in bringing the workout to the customer; an early and direct response to convenience-focused trends arising across various industries at the time. Even in the face of COVID-19, another unexpected challenge, GYMGUYZ has aggressive growth goals for this year, and has already kicked off the year with strong growth results.

In the first quarter of 2020 alone, GYMGUYZ added 8 new franchise owners in 16 new territories across Charlotte and Greensboro, North Carolina; Delray Beach, Naples and Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Oakville, Ontario. In addition to expanding its international footprint, GYMGUYZ has confronted the consequences presented to the fitness industry by COVID-19 with a creative and strategic approach focused on supporting its franchise owners with what they need to remain successful.

GYMGUYZ has gone completely digital, offering virtual personal training sessions, streaming weekly workouts via Facebook Live, and lending specialized exercise equipment to clients so they can safely continue their workouts at home. The brand is also offering a Workout Migration Program to those who have gym and fitness program memberships they are temporarily unable to use due to business closures and other COVID-19 related restrictions. Participating locations provide incentives to be used for remote personal training services while those closures and restrictions are in place.

“What COVID-19 has allowed us to do is to go back to our roots and be the scrappy, proactive company that does what it takes to get through hard times. We quickly shifted our core business model to provide support to our franchise owners and a resource for people that need to exercise even when social distancing,” York said. “We are the solution for people who don’t want to go to the gym. “It’s like sitting down for a delicious brownie sundae. Once you take a bite, you need to take another. People are getting a taste of our service and will keep coming back for more because they know what it’s like to have have a convenient, customized and creative workout wherever they please. We feel confident that we will be stronger as a brand and as a franchise system on the other side of this.”

GYMGUYZ’ growth and value as a franchise investment has been reinforced by awards and accolades received in the early part of 2020 including recognition by Entrepreneur Magazine on the publication’s annual list of Fastest-Growing Franchises and Top Franchises to Buy Under $100,000. The brand also received a second place ranking on Franchise Gator’s Fastest-Growing Franchises of 2020.

York has a lot of hope for what’s to come after the coronavirus pandemic. “Regardless of the current crisis, GYMGUYZ will continue offering virtual services, and my guess is that similarly, many in the fitness space are identifying new and creative ways to maintain their revenue streams. Exercise is one of the best ways to boost your immune system and cope with stress, which means we’re not going anywhere. On the contrary, I see this time as evolutionary. There is a lot of innovation still to come.”

ABOUT GYMGUYZ:

GYMGUYZ is # 1 in Home Personal Training providing convenient, customized, and creative workouts wherever you are. Headquartered in Plainview, N.Y., and founded in 2008 by fitness specialist Josh York, the mobile brand utilizes a fleet of franchise vans that bring more than 365 pieces of state-of-the-art fitness equipment and expert coaches to their customers’ doors to drive accountability and provide tailored workouts.

GYMGUYZ also scored the second-place spot on Franchise Gator’s annual list of the Top 100 Fastest-Growing Franchises and received recognition as a top Franchise in Entrepreneur’s Highly Competitive 41st Annual Franchise 500.

FCC’s New COVID-19 Telehealth Program Validates Importance of Telehealth and Remote Monitoring; PMD Healthcare’s Remote Tools Fit the Bill

Leave a comment


PMD Devices

FCC’s focus on telehealth and remote monitoring validates what we at PMD Healthcare have known for a long time — that health starts wherever patients are, and that maintaining good health simply cannot be limited to the four walls of a hospital or physician’s office


LANSDALE, Pa. (PRWEB)

PMD Healthcare, an innovative remote patient monitoring (RPM) and telehealth company that has been serving the healthcare industry for more than a decade, has announced that its remote healthcare solutions meet the criteria for devices that fall within the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) new COVID-19 Telehealth Program.

On April 10, the FCC announced its COVID-19 Telehealth Program, which provides $200 million to healthcare providers as part of the CARES Act, the $2 trillion economic relief package signed into law on March 27. The program is intended “to help health care providers furnish connected care services to patients at their homes or mobile locations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” the FCC said in a press release.

“FCC’s focus on telehealth and remote monitoring validates what we at PMD Healthcare have known for a long time — that health starts wherever patients are, and that maintaining good health simply cannot be limited to the four walls of a hospital or physician’s office,” says Wayne Meng, CEO and founder of PMD Healthcare. “Now that our health systems are overwhelmed and social distancing is paramount, we must do what we can to help healthcare providers achieve their mission of helping and healing patients in innovative ways. And we believe remote patient monitoring is the key.”

PMD Healthcare’s RPM kits include Bluetooth-enabled, patient-friendly medical devices that capture biometric data (oximetry, spirometry, temperature, blood pressure and weight), as well as a tablet equipped with telehealth capabilities. The kits wirelessly transmit data to PMD Healthcare’s secure, HIPAA-compliant web portal and help health providers assess symptoms, manage medications and educate patients. Additionally, the respiratory kit includes a digital spirometer — Spiro PD, the first-ever personal spirometer approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration — to measure lung function, which many RPM solutions lack.

PMD Healthcare applauds the current administration and the FCC for prioritizing remote healthcare, including telehealth services and remote patient monitoring devices. Remote healthcare options can help hospitals and providers manage the current COVID-19 crisis in several ways:

  • Reduce the spread of infection by preventing unnecessary visits to providers’ offices and hospitals

  • Preserve staff resources and personal protective equipment (PPE) for those with the greatest need

  • Improve outcomes for those with chronic diseases and others in high-risk groups by monitoring symptoms, vital signs, and medication adherence closely between healthcare visits, alerting physicians and healthcare providers if intervention is needed

“Given the importance of social distancing, telehealth is more important than ever, so we are pleased to do our part to help healthcare providers purchase telecommunications, broadband connectivity, and devices necessary for providing connected care,” the FCC press release noted. Hospitals and health systems can apply for the FCC program online.

About PMD Healthcare

PMD Healthcare is an industry-leading, fully integrated remote patient monitoring and telehealth company that helps physician groups, home health agencies and hospitals improve patient outcomes by monitoring patient health between healthcare visits. PMD Healthcare was founded in 2010 with the development of the first-ever FDA-approved personal spirometer, Spiro PD. Today, PMD Healthcare offers several RPM kits targeted to particular patient populations, including those with CHF, COPD, diabetes and hypertension. Remote patient monitoring can result in cost-savings and increased reimbursement for physicians, as well as better coordinated care. Discover more at pmd-healthcare.com.

chad cooper

This is an opportunity for people to really begin to work on themselves and make improvements that will impact their lives for the better.


BOCA RATON, Fla. (PRWEB)

Author Chad E Cooper has announced that there will be a free enrollment of the Legendary Lifestyle Membership Program, normally a $10,000 program. The giveaway is available to the first 30 people who enroll and does not include any required costs. The program focuses on health and significant lifestyle changes, how to handle stresses in one’s daily life including ones caused by the coronavirus pandemic, manage relationships and improve productivity, not only during the coronavirus, but beyond.

“You have millions of people who are stuck at home right now and are not sure what to do. How many times have you said over the years, if I had the time, I would do this or if I had a break, I could get this done? I’ve worked at home for over 30 years and I know what it takes to be productive and it all comes down to your mindset. You have to relearn how to think and take on every challenge whether it’s helping your kids with schoolwork, improving your relationship with your wife, understanding how you’re decisions even early in the day can impact the rest of the day like with diet and exercise and how to build a better and stronger mindset for challenges that come your way.” Chad Cooper

The program consists of 12 weeks and is a favorite among CEO’s, business managers, professional athletes and medical professionals. It helps in identifying ways to improve productivity an external relationships, understand and maintain a healthy work and life balance, putting together smart plans based on research and an understanding of what a person wants to accomplish and how be more assertive when it comes to going after goals and so forth.

“Right now, someone is sitting at home with nothing to do and they figure today they will work out, start on that diet they said they wanted to get started on, clean their house and do some yard work. Then, they start the day with a huge breakfast which they normally never eat. After that they feel tired and decide to watch TV for just an hour. Next thing you know, it’s dinner time and you accomplished nothing. If you wrote down a list of everything you said you were going to do at the start of the coronavirus pandemic and crossed off everything you actually did, there’s a good chance you wouldn’t be happy with it. That’s how this program helps people, we get them past their excuses and show them how to really help themselves on a level they never thought possible.”
