Leave a comment



CINCINNATI (PRWEB)

FirstLight® Home Care, the leading national provider of non-medical home care, has been named by Franchise Business Review as a Top Franchise for Veterans, a Top Senior Care Franchise and one of the year’s Most Innovative Franchises.

This year, Franchise Business Review surveyed 1,633 franchisees in the senior care sector to gauge satisfaction with their franchisor and happiness with their decision to invest in a franchise. The team also surveyed more than 26,000 franchisees from many of today’s leading franchise brands to determine the top franchises for veterans and the most innovative franchises, based exclusively on franchisee satisfaction. Each survey participant was asked 33 benchmark questions about their franchisor that focused on areas such as leadership, training, and core values, as well as 16 more personal questions concerning their business lifestyle and overall enjoyment related to operating their franchise.

“Being featured on these 2019 lists is very satisfying because they are each based on surveys of owners which shows how satisfied our franchisees are to be a part of the FirstLight family,” said Jeff Bevis, co-founder and CEO of FirstLight Home Care. “We feel that the key to our continued growth is not only serving our home care clients exceptionally well but also doing everything in our power to make our owners successful. We take the team concept very seriously and being ranked as a top franchise opportunity of 2019 proves that our approach is working.”

This listing marks the third year FirstLight Home Care has been recognized by Franchise Business Review as a top senior care franchise; the second year the brand has been recognized as a top innovative franchise; and the fifth year as a leading franchise for veterans.

FirstLight serves seniors, adults with disabilities, new mothers, veterans, those recovering from surgery and other adults in need of assistance through a Culture of Care™ commitment to excellent service, personal growth and accountability. The company’s caregivers help with a wide range of needs, including personal hygiene, cooking, cleaning, running errands, mobility assistance and dementia care.

This ability to tap into demand across a wide customer base positions FirstLight for continued success, especially as the home care industry continues to grow rapidly in the United States. With more than 200 locations nationwide, a 77% caregiver retention rate based on consistent training and professional development opportunities, and a systemwide revenue of $117 million, FirstLight Home Care is a premier service brand in the home care space.

Additionally, FirstLight has shown significant growth in 2019 by opening 14 locations in markets across the U.S. FirstLight is also looking to build on that momentum by actively targeting Greater Philadelphia, Miami, Seattle, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, San Jose, Greater Hartford and Montgomery for development.

“We are growing at a very rapid and strategic rate,” said Jamie Davis, Executive Director of Franchise Development. “The markets we are targeting are proven to succeed and it is so great to see that success now being recognized in the senior care sector and the franchising industry as a whole.”

In recent months, the company has also made the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing, privately held companies, and ranked No. 3 on Forbes’ 2019 “Best Franchises To Buy” in the Low Investment Category.

Seeds of Change™ Partners with Big Green for Plant a Seed Day 2020

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Kimbal Musk, founder of Plant a Seed Day, plants seeds with kids in their school Learning Garden built by Big Green.

Plant a Seed Day is a call-to-arms. It’s a push for action. It’s a drive to make a change in how we eat.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Plant a Seed Day 2020 will take place on March 19, 2020, the first day of spring. Plant a Seed Day is a global movement started by the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Big Green and its founder Kimbal Musk to mobilize kids, their families, and communities to take a single simple action – plant a seed to grow real food in their home or classroom. Mars Food’s organic seed-to-plate brand SEEDS OF CHANGE™ has partnered with Big Green for the second annual event to promote health and wellness in communities worldwide.

Today, SEEDS OF CHANGE is helping to kick-off the 2020 Seed Pledge Platform to enable anyone anywhere to pledge to plant seeds next spring. Once the pledge is signed, Big Green will provide access to a library of gardening guides, planting tips, and more and begin to connect with a network of other people who are making the pledge.

“The SEEDS OF CHANGE brand was founded 30 years ago with two purposes – to preserve the biodiversity of seeds and to revolutionize the food system by pioneering organic farming,” said Isabella Chia, Senior Brand Manager of SEEDS OF CHANGE. “We bring that to life by partnering with organizations like Big Green who align with our brand mission and the Mars Food purpose to create a better world tomorrow through better food today. We share the belief that change requires collective action, and Plant a Seed Day has the ability to mobilize communities to take meaningful steps toward building a better food system.”

“Plant a Seed Day is a call-to-arms. It’s a push for action. It’s a drive to make a change in how we eat,” said Kimbal Musk, Founder of Plant a Seed Day. “SEEDS OF CHANGE is a dream partner for us in this initiative as they share our common values to take action in order to live and thrive in a more healthful, beautiful world.”

Plant a Seed Day 2020 will mark the second annual event for the movement with support from SEEDS OF CHANGE (last year, the brand donated 200,000 seed packets). The first-ever Plant a Seed Day occurred on March 20, 2019 and resulted in over 1.2 million seeds (on record) being planted with over 217,000 people pledging to plant in over 45 countries and in every state in America. The movement gained worldwide attention by some of today’s biggest celebrity activists including Salma Hayek, Ian Somerhalder, Amanda Cerny, Nick Jonas, Karlie Kloss, Maye Musk, and many others.

Big Green installs Learning Gardens, edible gardens and outdoor classrooms, in urban schools around the country. In a world blanketed by asphalt, a school garden is an oasis of green space in the lives of inner-city children. Learning Gardens provide rich educational opportunities for students, not only in their core curriculum of math, literacy, and science, but also in nutrition, health, and environmental literacy. Contact with nature is critical in encouraging imagination and creativity, cognitive and intellectual development, and social relationships.

Studies have shown that participating in gardening as a child is the most important contributor to positive attitudes and actions toward the environment as an adult. Even in urban communities where green spaces are few and far between, gardening opportunities for kids can be enough to instill a deep appreciation and respect for nature come adulthood. Planting a seed encourages a connection with the natural world and an opportunity to understand from where food comes.

“The third quarter activity was notable for the number of REIT deals by Medical Properties Trust, but also for the number of smaller not-for-profits joining larger regional systems.

NORWALK, Conn. (PRWEB)

Hospital M&A activity held steady with 21 transactions in both the second and third quarters of 2019, according to new acquisition data from HealthCareMandA.com.

Medical Properties Trust, a healthcare real estate investment trust, was the most active acquirer in this sector, with four deals. The REIT paid more than $1.5 billion to acquire the real estate assets of 14 acute care hospitals and two behavioral health hospitals owned by Prospect Medical Holdings in California. The company also acquired seven newly constructed community hospitals operated by Saint Luke’s Health System around Kansas City, Missouri for $145 million. Private equity firm TPG Capital was busy in southeast Asia. It sold Hong Kong-based United Family Healthcare (nine hospitals and 14 ambulatory clinics in China) to New Frontier Corporation for $1.3 billion, then teamed up with Malaysia’s Hong Leong Group to acquire 17 hospitals across Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam for $1.2 billion from Columbia Asia Group.

“The third quarter activity was notable for the number of REIT deals by Medical Properties Trust, but also for the number of smaller not-for-profits joining larger regional systems,” stated Lisa E. Phillips, editor of the Health Care M&A Report, which publishes the data. “All across the country, the standalone community hospitals are finding it financially difficult to stay independent.”

All quarterly results are published in The Health Care M&A Report for all 13 sectors of health care, which is part of the HealthCareMandA.com investment research source.

The 2019-20 Dig Pink Challenge powered by All Volleyball

Leave a comment



ST. LOUIS, Mo. (PRWEB)

The Dig Pink Challenge Powered by All Volleyball is a fundraising event that brings breast cancer awareness and volleyball together. The goal is to bring the volleyball community together in fun-filled ways to raise funds for The Side-Out Foundation. Side-Out is the only organization that uses volleyball to raise money for stage IV metastatic breast cancer research, which is the least funded and deadliest form of the disease.

From its beginning 5 years ago, the Dig Pink Challenge has traditionally featured a local volleyball match showcasing the defending Missouri state champions against an opponent of their choosing. These events have been filled with fundraising opportunities alongside some great competition on the court. Games with prizes, 50/50 raffles, silent auctions, raffle baskets and more all raised money for the Side-Out Foundation.

In 2018, All Volleyball expanded slightly outside of the St. Louis area and partnered with 8 schools from across the nation. Each school held its own Dig Pink campaign and donated all proceeds to The Side-Out Foundation. All Volleyball knows how hard it can be to start a fundraiser for the first time, so they matched up to $500 in each school’s campaign. It was an encouraging experience for the teams they partnered with, many who plan to work with the Side-Out Foundation in the future.

After last year’s success, All Volleyball is expanding the 2019-2020 Dig Pink Challenge. With a longer timeframe, more teams and more locations, All Volleyball hopes to achieve the ultimate goal of fostering Side-Out’s mission. This year’s application window will expand to include girls high school, girls club and boys high school volleyball seasons. Due to the increased interest of the Dig Pink Challenge and the All Volleyball’s commitment to serving their customers, participating teams must be current or new customers of All Volleyball. Once selected, each team will get their own online campaign page, access to All Volleyball and Side-Out staff for guidance and a monetary match up to $500 from All Volleyball when they finish fundraising.

In 5 years, the Dig Pink Challenge has raised over $100,000 for breast cancer research while introducing dozens of teams to the Side-Out Foundation. With the potential to add 30 more teams to that list, this could be the most successful year yet. Beyond the success and excitement around the program, the true meaning of why All Volleyball chooses to serve remains the same: to bring hope and support to those and their families affected by stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.

More About All Volleyball Inc.

All Volleyball, Inc. is proud to be the trusted industry expert since 1995. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, this volleyball retailer and team dealer has always had a passion for helping others and solving problems on and off the volleyball court. All Volleyball Serves is the philanthropic extension of the company responsible for heading up efforts like the Dig Pink Challenge.

More About The Side-Out Foundation

The Side-Out Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Fairfax, Virginia that harnesses the power of volleyball players to host Dig Pink volleyball initiatives that raise money for critical research of late-stage metastatic breast cancer – the least funded form of breast cancer research. Over the years, Side-Out has raised more than $14 million for research on the disease, has completed two successful clinical trials using Side-Out’s individualized treatment protocols and is currently in the midst of a third trial, its largest yet.
