USPS Operation Santa putting needy kids’ sad letters to Santa online for “adoption” by volunteers at Christmas


USPS Operation Santa Christmas volunteers mail gifts delivered directly to children.

This little girl wrote to Santa and her gifts were delivered directly to her!

“Some Operation Santa volunteers feel alone and sad over the holidays, and find comfort and inspiration volunteering for this program. People catch the true spirit of the holidays and put smiles on the faces of needy kids on Christmas morning,” says Be A Elf’s Chief Elf, Patrick Reynolds.

The U.S. Postal Service launched a new website this week that makes letters to Santa from needy kids available to members of the public to adopt.

Many of their letters ask Santa only for “a warm coat”, “new shoes,” and a favorite toy, according to a nonprofit that supports the effort.

In recent years the program has been available in under two dozen cities, but this year, the letters may be adopted in every U.S. city, thanks to a new USPS website, USPSoperationsanta.com.

Volunteers may also read letters in person at one branch in Chicago, and another in New York City. To protect children’s privacy, USPS staff redact last names and addresses from every letter. Gifts must be mailed by Dec. 20th, in time for delivery by Christmas.

The U.S. Postal Service has made the children’s letters available every December since 1912. It has been supported by Be An Elf, a tax-exempt charity founded by a volunteer, Elf Patrick. The site supports USPS Operation Santa by recruiting hundreds of new volunteers every year, encouraging media to cover the story, and by supporting those seeking assistance by offering them letter-writing tips. Be An Elf is not affiliated with the USPS, but its website serves as a guide both to volunteering for the program and for those seeking assistance. The group gets a major in-kind grant from Google in the form of free advertising.

Parents who are worried there won’t be enough gifts for their children this year will find great tips at BeAnElf.org/writing-to-Santa. Volunteers who want to learn more should start with the home page at BeAnElf.org

“Some Operation Santa volunteers feel alone and sad over the holidays, and find comfort and inspiration volunteering for this program. People catch the true spirit of the holidays and put smiles on the faces of needy kids on Christmas morning,” says Be A Elf’s Patrick Reynolds, who has the title of Chief Elf. He’s a grandson of tobacco company founder R.J. Reynolds but became a smoke-free advocate after his father, R.J. Reynolds Jr., died from smoking. Patrick Reynolds received the Lifetime Achievement award in 2015 from President Obama for his work against Big Tobacco.

Highmark Establishes High-Performance Hemophilia Partnership


The organizations in our hemophilia partnership are centers of excellence for this complex, chronic condition. The end result is a higher level of care for our members, as well as potential cost savings for members and group customers. -Ned Finn, Highmark’s director of specialty pharmacy services

Highmark announced a new partnership focused on the treatment and management of hemophilia, which aims to ensure that members receive hemophilia drugs from organizations that meet rigorous performance standards and to reduce drug waste and fraud that increases costs. Beginning in January of 2020, Highmark members will receive hemophilia drugs exclusively from three providers: Option Care Health, Soleo Health and the Hemophilia Center of Western Pennsylvania.

Hemophilia is a rare genetic disorder that causes patients to have difficulty forming blood clots because they lack normal levels of proteins called clotting factors. Without sufficient clotting factors, patients can experience prolonged and life-threatening bleeding after an accident, spontaneous bleeding into the joints and large muscle groups, and long-term damage to internal organs and tissues. Most people with hemophilia are diagnosed as infants or as small children, and begin a lifelong regimen to control the bleeding disorder that includes self-administered or guardian-administered IV infusions of drug products containing their type of missing clotting factor.

Highmark health plans have approximately 190 members who have been diagnosed with hemophilia. Highmark spends around $80 million annually on care for hemophiliacs, with about 90 percent of that total attributed to pharmacy costs.

Highmark selected the participants for its hemophilia partnership through a competitive RFP process.

“The organizations in our high-performance hemophilia partnership are true centers of excellence in the treatment of this complex, chronic condition,” says Ned Finn, Highmark’s director of specialty pharmacy services. “By partnering with these organizations, we are able to obtain hemophilia drugs for our members at a competitive rate while establishing new performance guarantees and oversight protocols for providers. Our members will work with organizations that possess exceptional knowledge of hemophilia, and will receive the right drugs and dosage at the right time. The end result is a higher level of care for our members, as well as potential cost savings for members and group customers.”

This partnership also aims to address fraud, waste and abuse (FWA) related to high-cost hemophilia drugs.

“Highmark understands that the risk of FWA associated with prescription drugs, including those used to treat hemophilia, are high,” says Kurt Spear, VP of Financial Investigations and Provider Review (FIPR) for Highmark. “Over the past year, Highmark has identified and stopped multiple FWA cases involving complex schemes aimed at driving excessive and inappropriate reimbursement for hemophilia drugs. Our new network is another step to mitigate these risks for our customers.”

The new program complements Highmark’s Hemophilia Member Care Program. Through the program, Highmark identifies members with hemophilia based on risk and links them to a multidisciplinary care team that includes a nurse, pharmacist, physician, other clinicians and behavioral health providers. Members receive an individualized care plan and education that helps them better understand and manage their condition.

“Managing hemophilia can be a complicated process,” Finn says. “Our goal is end-to-end treatment for our members that removes barriers to better health and allows them to enjoy the highest quality of life possible.”

New Isagenix Products Support Healthy Change for the Holidays and Beyond


Available in Roasted Chicken + Herb Flavor and Vegetable Flavor, Collagen Bone Broth nourishes consumers inside and out.

Providing a variety of options all in one place is especially important at this time of year, as people are often short on time and may not take care of themselves as well as they usually do. Isagenix will help them navigate the holidays and lay the groundwork for a terrific 2020. – CEO Travis Ogden

From nourishing skin and bodies to maximizing fitness, the new Isagenix International products will help consumers make and maintain healthy changes, just in time for the holidays. The global health and wellness company has debuted Collagen Bone Broth, IsaPro® Plant-Based Protein, and CBD Peppermint Oil Blend as well as updated its AMPED™ Hydrate drink. The products launched this month in conjunction with the Isagenix 2019 Healthy Giving Guide.

“This holiday season has been our best yet in terms of expanding our offerings,” said Isagenix Chief Executive Officer Travis Ogden. “Now more than ever, it’s easy for our customers to find products that help them achieve — and even surpass — their health and wellness goals. Providing a variety of options all in one place is especially important at this time of year, as people are often short on time and may not take care of themselves as well as they usually do. Isagenix will help them navigate the holidays and lay the groundwork for a terrific 2020.”

Collagen Bone Broth: Nourishment for Skin and Bodies

Collagen Bone Broth nourishes consumers inside and out. Collagen peptides from grass-fed cows support healthy, glowing skin, while vitamin C boosts immune health and enhances collagen production, which declines with age.†

Each serving of Collagen Bone Broth has:

  • 8 grams of high-quality collagen and bone broth protein.
  • 40-45 calories (depending on the flavor).
  • 0 grams of sugar.
  • Functional ingredients such as collagen peptides, vitamin C, and extra amino acids from collagen.

To prepare the broth, consumers mix a packet into 4 to 8 fluid ounces of warm water. Cooked vegetables and meats can be added if desired. Consumers can also mix a packet into their favorite recipe or warm dish.

Collagen Bone Broth is available in the United States and Puerto Rico in Roasted Chicken + Herb Flavor and Vegetable Flavor. While customers can purchase it directly from the company, Isagenix recommends ordering the broth — and all of its products — through independent distributors. Preferred customer pricing for Collagen Bone Broth is US$32.99 for a box of 15 single-serve packets.

IsaPro Plant-Based Protein: Support for Fitness and Weight Loss

IsaPro Plant-Based Protein offers vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians an alternative to whey-based IsaPro so they can enjoy the benefits of an Isagenix protein concentrate. The complete protein is sourced from high-quality whole-grain brown rice and pea, is an excellent source of iron, and has branched-chain amino acids that support muscle building and maintenance. Supplementing with the high-quality protein found in plant-based IsaPro also boosts metabolism, promotes satiety between meals, and supports weight loss goals.

Plant-based IsaPro is made with natural ingredients. It has no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. Each serving has:

  • 18 grams of plant-based protein.
  • 4 to 5 grams of carbohydrates, depending on the flavor.
  • 1 to 2 grams of sugar, depending on the flavor.

The product can be added to an IsaLean® Shake (a high-quality, protein-rich meal replacement shake) to help those consuming a plant-based diet get the right amount of protein. It can also be used as a post-workout snack or added to recipes such as oatmeal or protein balls.

Plant-based IsaPro is available in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada in Chocolate and Vanilla. Preferred customer pricing for a 30-serving canister is US$42.95 in the United States and Puerto Rico and CA$46.95 in Canada.

CBD Peppermint Oil: Soothing Refreshment for Health and Wellness Seekers

CBD Peppermint Oil provides an uplifting aroma and nourishes the skin, enhancing consumers’ overall health and wellness routines. The full spectrum CBD, or cannabidiol, uses every component of the hemp plant without the mind or behavior-altering effects of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

The product is crafted in small batches and third-party tested to ensure purity, quality, and consistency. Each bottle contains:

  • 25 milligrams of cannabidiol per dropper.
  • A refreshing peppermint essential oil.
  • A soothing medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) coconut oil.

CBD Peppermint Oil can be applied to the desired area and reapplied as needed.

The product is available in the United States and Puerto Rico. Preferred customer pricing for a 1-ounce bottle is US$69.99.

AMPED Hydrate: Nutritious Hydration for All

AMPED Hydrate provides nutritious hydration for consumers, whether they’re playing sports, traveling, spending time outdoors, or just going about their day. The updated product has 10 to 15 calories per serving, depending on the flavor, and 0 grams of sugar. It also features:

  • A superfruit electrolyte blend including coconut water, pink Himalayan salt, mango, banana, and ginger.
  • Electrolytes that help with daily hydration and replace what’s lost during physical activity.†
  • Vitamins and minerals including vitamins C and B complex and biotin.

To prepare Hydrate, consumers mix one stick with 16 fluid ounces of purified water.

The product is available in the United States and Puerto Rico in four flavors: Lemon Lime, Orange, Blue Raspberry, and Coconut. Preferred customer pricing is US$21 for a canister of 24 servings or US$24.99 for a box of 24 sticks.

GelPro Introduces Industry-First Designer Rug + Mat Combo


New Ergo Comfort Rugs from GelPro

The Ergo Comfort Rug combines three products in one: a washable, designer-inspired rug, a supportive comfort floor mat, and a slip-resistant system that safety secures both to the floor.”

Adding to its popular comfort floor mat product line, GelPro today introduces a first-of-its-kind accent rug that combines the look and feel of a stylish rug with the plush support of a luxury comfort mat. The new Ergo Comfort Rug™ by GelPro features a removable and washable rug with a patent-pending attachment system that keeps both the rug and mat securely in place.

“We have noticed a trend of Persian and designer-inspired rugs showing up in rooms like the kitchen and bath. These types of rugs add style and texture to a space, but are hard to clean, can slide and move, and do not offer any comfort or support while you stand,” says Tawnya Quiet, vice president of product development and marketing at GelPro. “Designed specifically for the kitchen and bath, the Ergo Comfort Rug addresses these issues by combining three products into one: a washable, designer-inspired rug, a supportive comfort floor mat, and a slip-resistant system that safely secures both to the floor.”

Made of stain-resistant polyester with a soft, chenille texture, this durable rug is removable and can be spot cleaned or machine-washed. Integrated into the patent-pending design are four GellyGrippers™ that secure the rug to the floor, keeping it from slipping or bunching and removes the need for a rug pad or a non-slip pad. The comfort mat that attaches under the rug is made of energy-return polyurethane foam for resilient support and ultra-plush comfort while standing.

Available in 15 patterns and an array of stylish colors, the Ergo Comfort Rug and replacement rugs are available on GelPro.com, Amazon.com and at select retailers. The standard-size is 24” x 34” and retails for $59.95; the runner-size for larger spaces is 24” x 76” and retails for $119.95. The GelPro mat comes with a one-year warranty; the rugs come with a six-month warranty.

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, GelPro was founded in 2003 by Robb and Lisa McMahan to develop the most comfortable, plush, anti-fatigue floor mats. The company has sold more than three million mats, the majority of which are manufactured in Waco, Texas. They are sold directly at GelPro.com and at national retailers, including Bed, Bath & Beyond, Walmart, Amazon.com, Target.com, Wal-Mart.com, Staples.com, and many other kitchen specialty stores.

Best Practices to Reduce Outsourcing Compliance Risk, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks


Xtalks Life Science Webinars

Failing to demonstrate proper oversight can result in regulatory findings, trial delays, and even study shutdowns.

On Tuesday, December 10, 2019 at 12pm EST Xtalks will host a live webinar with guest speakers Henry Galio, Senior Director, Vault CTMS, Veeva Systems and Ed Dougherty, Senior Solution Consultant, Veeva Systems.

In a clinical environment where studies are increasingly complex and sponsors continue to outsource trials to contract research organizations (CROs), it’s even more important that clinical trial management systems (CTMS) and other clinical systems ensure sponsors are compliant with oversight requirements.

Sponsors must demonstrate that they are actively managing the oversight of outsourced studies and ensuring subject safety, as the ultimate responsibility for trial conduct and quality lies with the sponsor. Failing to demonstrate proper oversight can result in regulatory findings, trial delays, and even study shutdowns.

Key topics include:


  • Best practices to ensure oversight in an outsourced model
  • Top areas, key risk indicators and key performance indicators recommended for tracking proper oversight and CRO governance
  • Tips and tricks to get more from your oversight CTMS application

This webinar will benefit senior professionals working in clinical operations, clinical research, strategic development, and vendor management. Specific titles include VP of Clinical Operations, Director of Outsourcing, Clinical Trial Manager, Director of Vendor Management, and Clinical Study Lead.
