RCH Solutions, a leading Bio-IT Strategy and Services Company, Introduces Bio-IT Navigator


Often facing resource limitations, many start-ups and emerging companies encounter hurdles designing and building a robust scientific computing environment, or lack the team or specific IT domain knowledge to develop a platform that supports extensibility and data volume as they grow. Bio-IT Navigator offers a pulse-check on their approach, guiding topics that include cloud infrastructure or migration considerations, HPC or high-throughout needs, data management, scientific application and workflow support, and more.

“We’ve seen many start-ups stand up an environment quickly or based on a particular need, and then find themselves asking ‘now what’ as their team and science evolves,” said Phil Eschallier, CTO. “This program is about helping these growing organizations avoid tech debt and instead build an environment that can scale to meet the full range of their needs today and in the future.”

With more than 30 years of experience exclusively supporting science within the Life Sciences space, RCH has become a trusted partner in addressing the complex Bio-IT challenges faced by organizations of all sizes and scales.

Animal ER Care, Southern Colorado’s Only VECCS Level II Certified Clinic Offers Summer Pet Safety Tips


Organization placing heavy focus helping neighbors avoid Xylitol-based Marijuana accidents

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. , Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Animal ER Care (AERC), Southern Colorado’s only VECCS Level II certified emergency animal clinic is offering pet owners in the region summer safety tips to help avoid emergency situations with their cherished animals in order to best enjoy the summer season in Colorado.

Each tip for pet owners was established based on the experience of AERC doctors and staff caring for over 15,000 emergent and urgent care cases annually.

AERC is the region’s only VECCS Level II certified clinic making it 1/9 within the entire nation to reach this designation. A level II emergency and critical care facility has the medical staff, support personnel, specialized equipment, and staff training necessary to provide high-quality emergent and critical patient care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. To be certified as Level II, the facility must comply with all Level II requirements listed in the VECCS Facilities Certification Guidelines.

“I am very proud of the team for achieving such an important and critical designation with our VECCS certification,” said Gabrielle David, Certified Veterinary Technician, Chief Executive Officer of AERC. “Our team works tirelessly every day to honor each family that entrusts our team with their animal’s emergency medical needs. Being the only entity holding this certification in El Paso County, it is our promise to the region that we are solely focused on treating each patient that comes into either of our facilities at one of the highest national levels.”

AERC has many useful tips to help pet-parents avoid emergencies when enjoying Colorado’s warm weather including a breakout of pets coming to the clinics due to ingesting the potentially deadly chemical Xylitol found in recreational/medical marijuana edibles. AERC hot weather safety pet tips include:

1. Keep your pet hydrated. Use water and shade during hot days, repeat hydration each hour when enjoying the hot weather.

2. Never leave your pet in the car during hot days, this includes leaving them with the windows down, never do it as even with windows open, cars can rapidly rise to deadly temperatures.

3. Use leashes in parks and on trails. Colorado recreation areas are heavily populated with pets and families during the summer and with the increase of park usage can come with lack of leash usage and animals have increased opportunities to fight and injure one another or busy roads which can lead to being hit by a car.

4. Snakes. There are many types of snakes that can bite and hurt pets. Another reason for leashes in open spaces across the region. AERC has advised media partners in 2023 on this topic.

5. Avoid Xylitol and its inclusion in the formulation of most marijuana infused products such as brownies and gummies.

AERC urges pet owners to store their marijuana in secure locations and be aware of pets eating items of this nature from the ground in parks, trails and most importantly at home. The FDA warns of the dangers of Xylitol here.

“Heat, lack of water, wildlife and now the massive influx of Xylitol-based products along with any products containing THC are leading causes of accidental illnesses that bring patients to our doors,” added David. “Our goal is to help pet families in the region avoid using our facilities as much as possible and these simple tips could help achieve this. We are ready 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to serve sick and injured pets and want the public to know our team is dedicated to this mission but there are some ways to avoid taking a pet to an emergency clinic in the summertime.”

About AERC:

Animal ER Care provides exceptional patient care while simultaneously supporting the client’s emotional needs. The organization is dedicated to helping its clients make the best decision for their beloved family member, in balance with their financial resources, through conversation and involvement in the medical decisions for their pet. Equally, AERC is committed to fostering a healthy work environment for its staff built on the foundation of support, mentoring, enrichment, and appreciation.

Because of the large number of incoming cases at any given time, AERC has developed a triage index system to help prioritize incoming cases which allows its doctors to examine patients based on criticality, in conjunction with the time of arrival. This system has helped save countless lives because it reduced the wait time for these emergent cases. Some of the conditions that AERC emergency veterinarians treat include trauma, shock, respiratory distress, seizures, bleeding disorders, allergic reactions, fractures, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Generations Healthcare’s Thomas Jurbala to Join Nightingale Foundation’s Board of Directors


“We are thrilled to have Thomas Jurbala join our board of directors and bring his extensive experience to benefit the foundation,” says Katy Shoemaker, executive director of the Nightingale Foundation. “His vast understanding of a variety of fields makes him a valuable asset to our organization. We are proud to have caring individuals like Thomas as members of our team.”

As the healthcare industry faces a massive shortage of qualified nurses, the Nightingale Foundation is devoted to improving health outcomes, promoting health equity and enhancing the quality of healthcare. Between 2020 and 2021 alone, the nursing field lost more than 100,000 nurses. The nursing workforce is in dire need of new nurses to address the growing shortage, especially as more Baby Boomers retire.

The Nightingale Foundation works to address this shortage by providing scholarships, interest-free loans and other options to help nursing students in need fund their education. The foundation’s mission is to help give nursing students the necessary resources to complete their training and enter the workforce. As more well-educated nurses enter the workforce and bring staffing numbers higher, patients’ health outcomes improve. Research has shown better nurse staffing leads to fewer deaths, lower infection rates and shorter hospital stays.

“In my years working in the skilled nursing arena, I have seen the incredible impact dedicated nurses have on health outcomes for patients,” says Jurbala. “I am excited to begin working with the Nightingale Foundation to ensure caring, hard-working nursing students are given every opportunity to succeed in their education and thrive in their future careers.”

About Generations Healthcare
Generations Healthcare began with a single, 89-bed skilled nursing facility in 1998. It has since grown to 29 facilities with more than 3,300 licensed beds. Eight of these facilities offer Behavioral Health services, bringing Generations’ care and beliefs to another sector of the industry. Generations was founded on the belief that caring for the elderly and infirm is a sacred stewardship. With a concerted focus on quality and service, Generations has provided compassionate care and established an excellent reputation in the communities it serves.

About Nightingale Foundation
The Nightingale Foundation was established in 2023 to support current and future learners attending Nightingale College with the resources they need to become graduates. It aims to improve health outcomes and address the nursing shortage by providing better access to pre- and post-licensure nursing education. Through scholarships and interest-free student loans, the foundation can provide resources to traditionally underserved and underrepresented student populations.
