Dr. Babak Azizzadeh

If we prioritize physician safety, the care of our patients, and public health needs, we can do our part to combat the spread of the coronavirus

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (PRWEB)
April 09, 2020

Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, chairman and director of the CENTER for Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery, has written an article that explores the roles and challenges of facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons (FPRS) during pandemics. The article comes during the global novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which has created uncertainty across the health-care system.

Local, state, and government agencies have implemented “stay at home” restrictions and encouraged social distancing due to COVID-19. These efforts are intended to help slow the spread of COVID-19, but many FPRS now feel displaced and unsure of how to help those in need.

As a globally recognized FPRS, Dr. Azizzadeh performs surgical and non-surgical procedures to help patients correct functional and cosmetic issues. With the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Azizzadeh’s role has changed, and new challenges have developed. In his article, Dr. Azizzadeh examines the evolving roles and challenges of FPRS during the COVID-19 pandemic and offers recommendations to help FPRS support patients and others throughout the crisis.

Most FPRS perform “aerosol-generating” procedures and surgeries such as nasal/sinus surgery, intubation, tracheostomies, and flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopies that put them at increased risk of contracting COVID-19, according to Dr. Azizzadeh. As such, FPRS have an ethical responsibility to limit unnecessary contact with patients and others to lower the risk of inadvertently spreading the coronavirus.

In addition, non-essential services have been banned in many states, and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery recommend surgeons stop performing any elective or non-essential procedures until the COVID-19 pandemic passes. This has forced FPRS to consider which procedures are essential, Dr. Azizzadeh states, and conserve personal protective equipment and medical resources.

FPRS must also evaluate their role as physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Azizzadeh points out. These surgeons are trained in facial plastics, otolaryngology—head and neck surgery, and general surgery, and they should feel empowered to use their unique expertise to assist those in need during this challenging time.

“There are many things that FPRS can do to help our patients and others during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Dr. Azizzadeh says. “If we prioritize physician safety, the care of our patients, and public health needs, we can do our part to combat the spread of the coronavirus.”

Dr. Azizzadeh’s new article has been published in Facial Plastic & Aesthetic Medicine, and it is available to read here.

The Open Center, the country’s longest running urban holistic health and education center, announced today the launch of New Yorkers for New York, a free public service created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. New Yorkers for New York will provide frontline and essential workers, as well as all other local residents struggling with stress and anxiety, the mental and emotional wellness support they need right now amidst the city’s current health crisis. The program will offer an array of free tools, resources and services to those working to keep our community healthy, safe and nourished.

As part of this initiative, The Open Center, an iconic NYC non-profit organization founded in 1984, has created an easy-to-use toolkit to reduce stress or anxiety in a matter of seconds. The organization will also provide to strengthen, build resilience and provide comfort during this demanding time in New York. This is an adaptive program, which will continue to evolve in real-time, in order to bring together the local community and meet the needs of our friends, neighbors and family members.

“During times of crisis, nonprofits such as The Open Center have only one choice – step directly into the need and help as many people as possible,” says Ross Guttler, Chief Executive Officer of The Open Center. “We are proud to announce the launch of New Yorkers for New York, a new program that will not only address the intense stress of our greater community, but directly support all frontline and essential workers. Our mental and emotional wellness toolkit was specifically designed for those in the thick of the fight against COVID-19 with no time to spare. For over 36 years, we have served the people of New York City. This is our responsibility. This is our obligation to the city we love.”

New Yorkers for New York also brings together the efforts of other partner mission-led initiatives, including NYC COVID Care Network, a grassroots group of more than 3,000+ volunteers to provide individual and small group healing and therapies sessions, as well as the nonprofit organization Operation Warrior Shield to reach NYC’s first responders and service members, including members of the NYPD, FDNY, veterans and more.

“Operation Warrior Shield(OWS) is a longtime partner of The Open Center in NYC, because we understand and have seen how impactful trauma defense has become for our frontline workers,” says Founder of Operation Warrior Shield, CMSgt(ret), Edward Schloeman. “This partnership offers comprehensive support programs for service members, veterans, first responders and their families to help heal their hidden wounds.”

New Yorkers for New York’s offering of free stress management tools are designed I for NYC’s frontline, with an open door policy for anyone struggling with well-being during COVID-19. These holistic practices are aimed at making us healthier and stronger, and more connected both to ourselves and to our community.

Complimentary offerings include:

• A Toolkit for Managing Stress and Anxiety: Designed specifically for frontline workers with limited time, these programs and resources will help you breathe, manage anxiety and get through the day
• 1:1 Counseling and Small Group Healing and Therapy Sessions
• On-Demand Library of Wellness Resources: Access The Open Center’s library of resources, including videos, podcasts, articles and more from leading holistic wellness and spirituality experts

“Our front line and essential workers are fighting around the clock to support and keep the world safe around them,” says Dara Blumenthal PhD, spokesperson and organizer for the NYC Covid Care Network. “In a few short weeks we have gathered a communal movement with over 3,000 certified volunteer specialists around the country to offer mental and wellness offerings to any essential workers who need support. Our hope is to help the frontline workers deal with the traumas of their daily reality and to keep them strong throughout this entire fight against COVID-19.”

To support other hard-hit cities, The Open Center is creating a “launch kit” containing resources and guidance to help other organizations and volunteers from local chapters of this community initiative to ensure frontline and essential workers all over the world receive the critical care they need.

Helena Cho, Founder/CEO Good Work(s) Converts Jewelry and Fashion Factory in Los Angeles to Make Masks

We just want to do what we can during this time and provide high-quality masks to people, as well as keep our employees in Los Angeles working – Helena Cho, Good Work(s)

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
April 09, 2020

Pro-life businesswoman Helena Cho and her husband have gone from making jewelry beloved by celebrities and Instagram influencers to making masks during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Both Cho and her husband, David Chang, run successful international fashion and jewelry businesses based in the Los Angeles area and have been outspoken supporters of Save the Storks and pregnancy resource centers (PRCs).

Cho is the CEO and founder of jewelry company Good Work(s) Makes a Difference and Chang runs a garment manufacturing business called Federal Merchandising. Terri Hatcher, Usher and Justin Bieber are just a few celebrities who wear Good Work(s) bracelets.

“We just want to do what we can during this time and provide high-quality masks to people, as well as keep our employees working. My employees have been with me for a long time and I have a responsibility to protect them,” Cho said.

Together they have teamed up to make masks at Chang’s factory in Los Angeles and sell them through Cho’s Good Work(s) company. Staff are now making 15,000-20,000 masks per week to be sold to the community – fast food chains, grocery stories, city workers and more. Cho says 100 percent of her staff are now making masks.

“When you’re pregnant at this time of the pandemic, it’s a scary time. Mothers have to protect themselves and their babies. Masks are selling out. We can help each other out and get a mask delivered to their homes so they have something to cover their faces,” she said.

“Helena Cho is an incredibly talented designer, and also a strong and humble Christian business leader. She is a role model for girls and women in the United States and around the world,” said Diane Ferraro, Chief Communications Officer at Save the Storks. “Helena does so much behind the scenes to support women, pregnancy resource centers, churches, children, schools, the homeless and orphans. This act of kindness and putting her faith into action is beneficial not only for the millions who are in need of quality masks at affordable prices, but also for the factory staff in California who otherwise might not be employed if not for this new manufacturing effort.”

Retail prices run anywhere from $5.80-6.80. To purchase masks online, visit GoodWorks website.
