DENVER (PRWEB)

The Women’s Foundation of Colorado (WFCO) announced today a new COVID-19 relief and recovery fund for organizations serving Colorado women and their families. According to many economists, the fallout of COVID-19 will deepen existing gender, racial, and class inequities and widen the gap in essential resources.

The Colorado Health Foundation invested $500,000 in The Women’s Foundation to launch the Women and Families of CO Relief Fund (WFCO Relief Fund). To date, The Colorado Health Foundation has invested more than $13.5 million in relief efforts throughout the state.

The WFCO Relief Fund will provide $320,000 in rapid-response grants to nonprofit organizations across the state serving Colorado women. Additionally, The WFCO Relief Fund will provide funding to existing WFCO programs, including 12 direct-service grantee partners that are part of WFCO’s WAGES (Women Achieving Greater Economic Security) cohort, and WFCO’s impact investing giving circle that makes loans to women-led social ventures and small businesses.

“Low-income women, single moms, and women of color will be hit much harder by the economic fallout of COVID-19,” said Karen McNeil-Miller, president and CEO of The Colorado Health Foundation. “We are pleased that we can provide these essential dollars to the only community foundation in our state with the intersectional gender-lens expertise to understand the breadth of challenges women will face through this public health crisis.”

Previously, in 2018, The Colorado Health Foundation awarded WFCO with a $1 million grant to support WFCO’s statewide reach, deepen its impact, and affirm its role as the anchor institution for the economic advancement of Colorado women and their families.

The purpose of the WFCO Relief Fund is to rapidly and responsively distribute general operating grants to 501(c)(3) and other tax-exempt organizations that address the emergency needs of Colorado women and their families who are most impacted by COVID-19. Grant recipients could include organizations supporting victims of domestic violence, older women, women of refugee and immigrant backgrounds, women with disabilities, women experiencing homelessness, and more. The grants are meant to enhance the capacity of organizations responding to a variety of critical needs including housing, food, transportation, child care, health care, behavioral health, and more.

“For 33 years, WFCO has met the essential needs of Colorado women through our trusted research, public policy advocacy, and grantmaking. We will continue to do so,” said Lauren Y. Casteel, president and CEO of The Women’s Foundation. “However, in times of crisis, the issues that affect women disproportionately become even more pronounced, such as access to child care, health care, and livable wages. We are profoundly grateful for The Colorado Health Foundation’s generous investment and trust in WFCO to help meet the greatest needs of Colorado women during the pandemic.”

The grant application process opens Monday, April 6th, and the deadline to apply is Tuesday, April 14th at 5 p.m. WFCO will make grant decisions by the end of April using statewide community input and an equity framework. Grantees of the fund will receive $10,000 to be used for general operating expenses. The grant application can be found at http://www.wfco.org/grants.

The Women’s Foundation of Colorado is the only statewide community foundation dedicated to creating more pathways to prosperity for Colorado women through the power of community, philanthropy, and impact. Since 1987, WFCO has served as an essential partner, resource, voice, and catalyst in strengthening Colorado’s families, communities, and economy through the power of women. In its 33-year history, WFCO has funded dozens of research reports that identify the systemic barriers that keep women from earning a livable wage, helped pass key legislation that to spur women’s economic advancement, and granted more than $19 million to nonprofits that work with women and families in communities statewide.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (PRWEB)
April 08, 2020

1QBit, a world leader in advanced computing and software development, today announced the launch of 1QBit xrAI, a chest radiography AI tool that significantly improves the accuracy and timeliness of diagnosing lung abnormalities. The company’s first healthcare product received expedited Health Canada approval in just one week following its recently completed extensive clinical trials. Within days of this regulatory approval, the Saskatchewan Health Authority has plans to go-live with the new tool to help combat COVID-19.

“We have been working on this artificial intelligence product for two years and the launch could not come at a better time for Canada and the world as we battle COVID-19,” said Deepak Kaura, MD, FRCPC, MBA, Chief Medical Officer of 1QBit and a practicing pediatric radiologist. “Unlike other image recognition software solutions that are created by technology companies first and then sold to medical professionals, xrAI has been researched and developed by clinicians. In my experience building health services domestically and internationally, I am inspired by the Canadians who have accelerated the clinical trials, overseen stringent regulatory processes, and who are now willing to implement xrAI such that it impacts patients so quickly.”

xrAI can be deployed on classical processors in the cloud or on-premise, helping clinicians better identify patients with respiratory complications including SARS, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and other abnormalities. In evaluating publicly available data of COVID-19 pneumoniae, 1QBit xrAI accurately identified 100% of cases with pulmonary abnormalities.

“As a practicing emergency physician and the Physician Executive of Rural Health for the Saskatchewan Health Authority, I recognize the importance of xrAI. It will directly impact the management of COVID-19 patients at the frontline by improving the confidence and accuracy of chest X-ray interpretations, allowing us to better triage and monitor these cases,” said Dr. Kevin Wasko, MA, MD, CCFP (EM), CCPE. “In fact, we prioritized the clinical trial because we recognized that solid science was necessary in order to obtain Health Canada clearance, and indeed, for us to deploy clinically. That trial is now complete, and we are excited to move forward.”

“The Saskatchewan Health Authority has a strong reputation as an innovative integrated provincewide delivery system for quality care,” said Landon Downs, President of 1QBit. “We are confident that xrAI will be another chapter in their history of setting new national standards of excellence in patient care.”

Social distance decals help promote safer social distancing

We have the equipment and the talent, why wouldn’t we channel our efforts toward joining the fight against coronavirus?

DENVER (PRWEB)
April 08, 2020

Denver-based Harmonic Media is producing face shields, social distance decals, temporary medical tents, and PPE gowns in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

As COVID-19 forced a majority of Americans inside their homes, small business owners Barb and Tyler Lindvall braced themselves for a rough few months. Though the couple started Harmonic Media just before the 2008 recession, and are no strangers to adapting to a shifting economy, this time felt different.

Harmonic Media is a Denver-based print and graphics shop, providing custom fabrication solutions for corporate events, trade shows, entertainment venues, and more. But with most events now canceled or on hiatus, how could the Lindvalls possibly keep operations running and avoid layoffs? They needed a pivot strategy ASAP. And then came the silver lining – Governor Polis’s announcement that businesses like Harmonic are essential, and could remain open.

“It just seemed obvious,” says Barb Lindvall, CEO of Harmonic Media. “We have the equipment and the talent, why wouldn’t we channel our efforts toward joining the fight against coronavirus?”

In addition to fulfilling current orders, Harmonic Media is also fabricating personal protective equipment in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The expanded line of personal protective gear includes face shields, social distancing decals, gowns, and temporary medical rooms.

“We’re not a multi-billion dollar company, so it’s not like we could make a huge corporate donation. But as a small business owner, it feels really good to know there’s a way to keep our employees working and help the cause at the same time,” said Tyler Lindvall, Harmonic Media’s Founder and CMO.

The current CDC guidelines recommend people in the U.S. wear a homemade mask or cloth over their faces in public areas and stay at least 6 feet apart to prevent transmission of the novel coronavirus. Face shields can provide an extra layer of protection in retail, construction, or health care environments to help prevent the spread of droplet borne pathogens. Social distancing decals can be applied in public spaces to serve as visual cues as to what six feet apart really looks like.

Contact Harmonic Media to place an order, request more information, or learn more. Harmonic is taking new, non-PPE orders and is fulfilling all previously placed orders.

Harmonic Media provides custom large format and graphic solutions for businesses of all sizes in Denver, throughout Colorado and beyond. Visit us on Facebook and Instagram.

Particle anti-aging skincare for men now available online worldwide

Company emerges from stealth mode after successful beta tests;

Major online sales spike from “Shelter in Place” males

Particle, a line of anti-aging and rejuvenating skin products for men, has emerged from stealth mode and is now available online globally. Particle products reduce the appearance of wrinkles, eyebags, and age spots and restore a man’s skin to its natural health.

Particle products are formulated specifically for the unique attributes of a man’s skin. The Particle lineup is anchored by three products:

Particle Face Cream: Massage a small dab morning and night to rejuvenate and protect the skin

Particle Face Wash: Wash away oils and grime while exfoliating and hydrating the skin

Particle Face Mask: Apply mineral-rich Dead Sea ingredients for a deep facial cleanse

As befits the no-nonsense demands of a male audience, Particle delivers multiple age-reversing actions in each product. Particle’s Face Cream has six such benefits:

1. Firms facial skin and reduces wrinkles

2. Reduces dark spots and under-eye circles and bags

3. Reverses the effects of sun damage

4. Soothes the skin after shaving

5. Moisturizes and rejuvenates

6. Provides deep nourishment with Dead Sea minerals

Particle’s unique formulations for men include ingredients not often found in women’s skin care products. Among the highly effective ingredients:

Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that slows the aging process by reducing free radical damage at the cellular level

Pentavitin, a plant-based nutrient that creates a moisture reservoir that lasts up to 72 hours

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, a variation of Vitamin C, and natural Lactic Acid, ingredients that stimulate a man’s collagen production and thus reduce age lines and wrinkles

Jojoba Oil, derived from plants in Southwest U.S., seals the skin to retain moisture while preventing acne and protecting the skin from microbes and fungi

Despite these unique formulations, Particle products are relatively inexpensive: a 1.7 oz. bottle of Particle Face Cream is $69, with 30 percent discount when men order two at the same time. Women’s anti-aging creams are often $100 more.

Particle remained in stealth mode for more than a year as the company developed a feedback loop with several thousand ‘early adopter’ consumers and perfected the logistics of providing fast, free shipping. Now that Particle has received hundreds of five-star reviews, the company is promoting its products to men of all colors and ethnicities, in every corner of the world. As males hunker down during ‘Shelter in Place’ policies, many are going online to prepare themselves to emerge with healthier, younger-looking skin.

The inspiration for Particle came from the personal experiences of its founders, Ayal Ebert and Guy Falkovitch. These two entrepreneurs, now in their forties, visited a pharmacy to find a solution to age lines. “We found dozens of skincare products for women, but only a small selection of alcohol-based after-shaves for men,” Ayal Ebert said. “Then we had an ‘aha’ moment: we would develop skin products specifically for men like us. With that seed, Particle was born.”

Particle’s founders have good timing: men’s skincare products worldwide sales reached $122 billion in 2019, according to market research firm NDP Group, and the men’s personal care category is expected to reach $166 billion in 2022.

Particle, with headquarters in New York City, provides free door-to-door shipping worldwide for its men’s skincare products. All products are backed by a 30-day product satisfaction guarantee. Particle products are available online from the company’s website, particleformen.com
