One feature that makes PHIS First Stop Health Telemedicine program attractive, is that it can be purchased as a separate policy.

“At a time when the public is being told not to visit a doctor’s office if they do not feel well, Preferred Health Insurance Solutions’ First Stop Health Telemedicine program is a valuable resource to fall back on. With the cold and flu season underway, First Stop Health Telemedicine program, is a valuable tool that can help Americans in their fight to stay healthy,” began Bob Dial, Vice President, Preferred Health Insurance Solutions, http://www.PHISonline.com (PHIS).

First Stop Health Telemedicine Program allows the insured and family members that live in their household, 24/7/365 day access to a doctor over the phone for things they might otherwise schedule a doctors office visit. There is $0 copay or deductibles to use the service. The telemedicine physician can even prescribe medication like antibiotics when appropriate.

Dial provides some wellness tips families can utilize as they battle the harsh 2020 cold and flu season:

1. Consider Utilizing The Newest Wave of Patient/Doctor Intervention:

Telemedicine refers to the practice of caring for patients remotely when the provider and patient are not physically present with each other. Modern technology has enabled doctors to consult patients by using HIPPA compliant video-conferencing tools.

First Stop Health can treat about 60-70% of reasons people seek medical care. The most common reasons people utilize First Stop Health include: sore throat, sinus infection, urinary tract infection, skin rash, muscle and joint pain, and ear aches. First Stop Health Telemedicine program is the perfect companion to a high deducible health plan.

2. Get A Flu Vaccine

A flu vaccine has numerous health benefits. Everyone six months of age and older should get a flu vaccine shot every year. Vaccination is particularly important for people who are at high risk of serious complications from influenza. The flu vaccine can help reduce doctors’ visits, missed time off school and work, and reduce flu-related hospitalizations. Flu and other vaccines are covered by health insurance without copayment or coinsurance charges. However, be sure to check with your insurance company to find out if you must go to a specific facility to receive the vaccine.

3. Practice Healthy Habits and Stop The Spread of Germs

Stay home when you are sick. Practice good hygiene, such as thorough and frequent hand washing. Practice social distancing when you feel under the weather. Try getting outside and make sure you incorporate an exercise regime into your schedule.

Dial added, “One feature that makes PHIS First Stop Health Telemedicine program attractive, is that it can be purchased as a separate policy. Many group plans offer telemedicine. However, for those individuals whose group plan does not include telemedicine, or for those that have an individual health policy, or those uninsured, a First Stop Health Telemedicine program is a cost effective option. After the initial payment, there are no other cost factors that will be added.”

First Stop Health Telemedicine program can play a significant role in helping to ensure people who have common health conditions avoid going to a doctor’s office or hospital and run the risk of getting a more serious illness. This can help keep people healthy, and slow the spread of the cold, flu, as well as other harmful viruses.

“PHIS is committed to providing innovate and cost effective programs to our insureds. Our First Stop Health Telemedicine program is an example of our continued commitment to our insureds,” Dial concluded

Self-awareness is the key to understanding ourselves, and identifying what truly makes us happy.

Self-awareness is your greatest power. It’s the doorway to your truths.

MONTREAL (PRWEB)
March 22, 2020

In times of crisis, like the current COVID-19 pandemic, practicing self-awareness and mindfulness may appear to be a frivolous luxury. The world’s focus is on practical matters – on self-isolation, social distancing, surviving, planning, and preparing, and trying to find some sense of stability and control in chaos. However, it’s during these times that “self-awareness” is crucial, according to the mental health researchers at Queendom.com. Self-aware people are more skilled at regulating their emotions, more conscious of their priorities and values, as well as their strengths and weaknesses. To have such a deep connection to self is powerful, especially during times when people’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are more likely to be clouded by panic and fear.

Analyzing data from 12,259 people who took the Emotional Intelligence Test, Queendom researchers focused their analysis on two distinct groups: People who are very self-aware, and those who are not. The comparison revealed a number of noteworthy differences (scores range from 0 to 100):

SELF-AWARE PEOPLE ARE:

> More resilient (score of 90 vs. 53).

> Less likely to engage in unhealthy rumination (score of 26 vs. 62 for non-self-aware people)

> Optimistic and hopeful (score of 86 vs. 45)

> Good at identifying what they are feeling, and why (score of 88 vs. 43 for non-self-aware people)

> Good at regulating negative emotions (score of 77 vs. 41)

> At ease dealing with emotional situations or people (score of 78 vs. 43)

> Fairly comfortable expressing their feelings (score of 71 vs. 37)

> Able to empathize with other people’s feelings (score of 80 vs. 70)

> Able to adapt to different social situations with ease (score of 88 vs. 48)

> Good at resolving conflict (score of 83 vs. 55), and know how to pick their battles (score of 79 vs. 58)

> Fairly assertive (score of 76 vs. 42)

> Highly self-motivated (score of 84 vs. 45)

> Goal-achievers (score of 79 vs. 41)

> Always striving for self-improvement (score of 91 vs. 61)

> Fully aware of their values, and willing to stand by their convictions (score of 90 vs. 58)

> Fully aware of what makes them special. They have a strong sense of self-respect, self-worth, and self-love (score of 90 vs. 58)

> Content with what they have achieved, and with their life in general (score of 82 vs. 45).

> Less likely to seek out other people’s approval or validation (score of 21 vs. 52 for non-self-aware people).

“As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds, staying in touch with your inner world is just as important as staying connected – at a safe distance – to the outer world,” explains Dr. Jerabek, president of PsychTests, the parent company of Queendom. “This is particularly true as we all cope with the need to self-isolate. However, it’s also a golden opportunity to reconnect with yourself. We all tend to adopt beliefs, values, ideas, and preferences without really taking the time to ask ourselves if it’s a true representation of who we are and what we want. This is what leads to dissatisfaction. A lot of people pursue life goals – a career, marriage, a family – without really asking themselves if they are doing it because it’s what they desire, or because they think it’s what their parents/culture/society want. Then they wonder why, after achieving all their aspirations, they still feel like something is missing.”

“Self-awareness is your greatest power. It’s the doorway to your truths. When you take the time to ask yourself what you want, to analyze your feelings, and to consult your gut instinct, you gain access to this inner world. Every feeling you experience, every desire that wells up in you, and every nudge from your intuition is a message, and that message will either be, ‘Yes, this feels right, keep going!’ or ‘No, this isn’t working out, this is not what I want’. During this time of social distancing and self-isolation, take the time to engage in some introspection. Re-think your priorities, goals, and desires. The answer to what will make you feel happy and most fulfilled lies within you.”

#StrengthInUnity – Cincy Shirts

“’Strength in Unity’ is the perfect phrase in times like this, and the fact that it’s our city’s motto made it even more appropriate to use in this design,” said Cincy Shirts Partner Josh Sneed. “We are honored to partner with UC Health and the YMCA, and we hope that other organizations with employe

CINCINNATI (PRWEB)
March 21, 2020

In partnership with UC Health, Cincy Shirts has created a new t-shirt design entitled “Strength in Unity” to honor our community’s medical professionals and first responders. The title comes from the English translation of “Juncta Juvant”, the City of Cincinnati’s motto found on the seal of the city and its flag.

Proceeds from the sale of the shirt will benefit the YMCA of Cincinnati Emergency Response Fund that has been set up to provide free child care for hospital personnel and first responders working to keep our community safe during the coronavirus pandemic. The YMCA has transformed 11 of their locations into Critical Care Personnel Program sites.

UC Health, Greater Cincinnati’s academic health system, has pledged to purchase shirts for all of its 11,000 employees and physicians.

“We are proud to support those who are on the front lines caring for others: especially our medical professionals like doctors and nurses, the police, fire/EMS and so many others,” said UC Health President & CEO Richard P. Lofgren, MD. “This is a time for our city and our community to come together to support and help each other.”

“In this coronavirus pandemic, we must do everything we can to help those on the front line take care of our community without worrying that their own child is safe,” said YMCA of Greater Cincinnati President and CEO Jorge Perez. “We are appreciative of every community partner stepping up to help us serve our front line workers during this time. There truly is ‘strength in unity’!”

“’Strength in Unity’ is the perfect phrase in times like this, and the fact that it’s our city’s motto made it even more appropriate to use in this design,” said Cincy Shirts Partner Josh Sneed. “We are honored to partner with UC Health and the YMCA, and we hope that other organizations with employees who can benefit from this fund will follow suit.”

Working with local charities and fundraising efforts is a common theme for Cincy Shirts. The company has partnered with the Cincinnati Zoo to raise over $325,000 for #TeamFiona, and recently worked with the zoo to raise over $207,000 for the Australia Wildfire Relief.

“This is what people have come to expect from us,” says Darin Overholser, Sneed’s business partner. “Cincinnati always shows up to take care of its own.”

The shirt is available for purchase now exclusively at CincyShirts.com.

Gwatney Mazda of Germantown offers flexible home delivery and pickup services to local customers.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (PRWEB)
March 21, 2020

Since 1988, Gwatney dealerships have strived to make car buying simple for shoppers in Memphis and the surrounding area. As concerns heighten over the spread of COVID-19, Gwatney Mazda is pleased to announce two new services designed to ensure the well-being of customers while still supplementing the transportation needs of the Memphis community.

The dealership’s new Home Test Drives and Delivery service is a 100% online sales process designed to streamline the vehicle purchase, trade-in and financing process. Car shoppers can choose a vehicle from the dealership’s website, https://www.mazdaofgermantown.com/, and a dealership representative will deliver the selected model and all the necessary paperwork free of charge. This process eliminates virtually any need for clients to come to the dealership.

The new Vehicle Maintenance Pickup and Delivery service allows drivers to supplement their vehicle maintenance or repair needs without traveling to the dealership. A representative will pick up the vehicle for its service appointment from the client’s home or office and return it when the work is completed. The dealership will even provide a new Mazda Service Courtesy Car free of charge upon request. Clients can use the dealership’s online service scheduler to schedule an appointment with the service department.

For clients that prefer to visit the dealership in person, the Gwatney Mazda staff is taking all the necessary precautions to ensure the well-being of its customers. The dealership has adopted meticulous cleaning services across its facilities, paying special attention to high touch areas such as doorknobs and service counters. Staff members have been trained to wash or sanitize their hands prior to every customer engagement and implement proper social distancing etiquette.

Gwatney Mazda is proud to move its car buying experience forward digitally and provide its customers with the accommodations they need in light of growing concerns. Those interested in taking advantage of these new services can contact a dealership sales representative directly by calling 833-733-9226. The Gwatney Mazda dealership is located at 7300 Winchester Road in Memphis, TN.
