UNA Health Inc

Our goal was to utilize all of the resources at our disposal, including expertise from medical professionals with decades of experience, to put together a course for those who don’t have access to current data that will help their healthcare personnel understand the exposure risk.

MIAMI (PRWEB)
March 24, 2020

As COVID-19 continues to dominate every major news headline across the United States, UNA Health Inc. – a leading provider of mobile recruitment solutions for hospitals and healthcare staffing firms is pleased to announce the release of a coronavirus training course developed specifically for nurses and other healthcare personnel, which was supported and advised by Accountable Healthcare Staffing, a distinguished market leader in the healthcare staffing industry. The material focuses on the most important aspects surrounding COVID-19, including how it affects patient care and individual health. It is available as a free download to healthcare staffing agencies nationwide.

Typically, UNA’s annual competencies are only available through the company’s online platform. Given the sensitive nature of the pandemic that has gripped the nation, however, UNA’s management team felt that making it publicly available to all healthcare personnel was in the best interests of the industry – and country – as a whole.

“There is a lot of misinformation circulating around right now about COVID-19, including how it spreads, the severity of illness it causes, and to what extent it may spread in the United States,” stated Ron Gonzalez, UNA’s President and CEO and former CEO of Prophecy Healthcare. “Our goal was to utilize all of the resources at our disposal, including expertise from medical professionals with decades of experience, to put together a course for those who don’t have access to current data that will help their healthcare personnel understand the exposure risk.”

Included in the course is specific insight regarding symptoms and treatment, as well as preventative measures and CDC recommendations for infection prevention and control (IPC). In addition to this baseline material, there’s also a post-test to ensure healthcare personnel fully understand the core foundational basics of coronaviruses, and COVID-19 in particular.

“Healthcare personnel are on the front lines when caring for patients with confirmed or possible infection with COVID-19, and therefore have an increased risk of exposure,” added Merry Fort, Executive Vice President of Clinical Services at Accountable. “Since this is a new disease and there are still so many unknowns, our best defense is education, coupled with preventive measures, to help keep this critical group of individuals safe.”

In 2020, there will be an estimated 1.8 million new cancer cases diagnosed and over 600,000 cancer deaths in the United States.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
March 24, 2020

In the midst of several cancer awareness events this spring, Mediaplanet announces the launch of the March edition of “Future of Cancer Care.”

In 2020, there will be an estimated 1.8 million new cancer cases diagnosed and over 600,000 cancer deaths in the United States. Yet it is also the year in which a collective hope for a cure is stronger than ever, making it an exciting time in cancer treatment innovation. Between advancements in pharmaceutical research boosting disease-specific drug approvals and the growing industry of personalized medicine, a collective hope for a cure is stronger than ever. In response, this campaign will give healthcare professionals and patients the power of knowledge to manage their own healthcare and, most importantly, understand the current, most effective diagnosis and treatment options leading to a cure, both on a personal and global level.

Fran Drescher, star of “The Nanny” and the upcoming NBC sitcom “Indebted,” graces the cover of the print publication. Leading the charge in inspiring patients, families, and healthcare professionals, Drescher started the Cancer Schmancer nonprofit after her own battle with uterine cancer. Her mission is to drive awareness in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research, and care.

This became particularly important after Drescher’s own cancer was not properly diagnosed. “I started the Cancer Schmancer movement to empower people to transform from patients into medical consumers,” Drescher says. She wants everyone “to recognize the early warning whispers of the cancers that may affect them, and to know the tests that are available, because all too often they’re not even on the menu at the doctor’s office.”

The print component of “Future of Cancer Care” is distributed within today’s edition of USA Today in New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington D.C./Baltimore markets, with a circulation of approximately 200,000 copies and an estimated readership of 600,000. The digital component is distributed nationally through a vast social media strategy and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets. To explore the digital version of the campaign and more stories, click here.

This campaign was made possible with the support of American Society of Clinical Oncology, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Personalized Medicine Coalition, Prostate Cancer Foundation, The Lustgarten Foundation, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, National Breast Cancer Foundation, Kidney Cancer Association, Jimmy V. Foundation, Colorectal Cancer Alliance, City of Hope, UC Davis Health, Myriad Genetics, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Athenex Oncology, St. Luke’s University Health Network, Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, Fran Drescher, Mark Nofri, and more.

This editorial feature will educate healthcare professionals and the public on the devastating effects tuberculosis still has on lives and economies around the world.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
March 24, 2020

Helping to raise awareness for the World Tuberculosis Day effort amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Mediaplanet today announces the launch of its first-ever “Tuberculosis Awareness” campaign. This editorial feature will educate healthcare professionals and the public on the devastating effects tuberculosis still has on lives and economies around the world.

The digital campaign features a collection of articles written by expert contributors, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Lung Association, and the National TB Controllers Association. The articles, which can be found at: https://www.futureofpersonalhealth.com/campaign/infectious-diseases/ are distributed nationally through a vast social media strategy and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets.

In his submitted editorial, Philip LoBue, M.D., FACP, FCCP, director of the Division of Tuberculosis Elimination at the CDC, releases new data and shares the CDC’s plan to support TB elimination. “To accelerate progress towards elimination, CDC supports a dual approach that includes diagnosing and treating every case of TB disease, and preventing future cases by expanding testing and treatment for people with latent TB infection (LTBI),” writes LoBue.

Dr. Albert Rizzo, chief medical officer of the American Lung Association, urges people to take the same precautions to prevent TB as coronavirus and other respiratory infections. “Since TB is a respiratory infection, the way to prevent infection is to follow the tried and true recommendations that should be followed for any respiratory infection that is transmitted by aerosol or droplets from cough or sneeze,” Rizzo writes. “Avoid being around known sick individuals. Frequent hand-washing with soap and water especially after contacting surfaces or other individuals (i.e., handshaking). Avoid touching your mouth, nose, eyes, or face in general with unwashed hands.”

This campaign was made possible with the support of the CDC, WHO, National TB Controllers Association, American Lung Association, and Oxford Immunotec.
