CHICAGO (PRWEB)

The American Medical Spa Association (AmSpa) has introduced a new program focused on optimizing medical spa owners’ practice management and financial acumen—the Advanced Practice Management Symposium (APMS). The first APMS event, titled Medical Spa Finances, will be presented in partnership with Maven Financial Partners and will be held in Chicago at AmSpa headquarters on August 19-20, 2023.

The APMS program is designed to help medical spa owners master their finances and prepare their practices for the challenges and opportunities they may face in the future.

“AmSpa is excited to launch our newest event type, the Advanced Practice Management Symposium, with our friends at Maven Financial Group,” says AmSpa COO, Cathy Christensen. “The goal of the APMS is to provide an incubator experience with in-depth, critical, advanced education for medical aesthetic practice managers, owners and operators to really dig into their practice’s finances and plot a lucrative and successful way forward in any economic climate. There is truly nothing else like this in the industry!”

For the Medical Spa Finances event, Maven Financial Partners Founder and CEO, Jessica Nunn, and Partner and Financial Consultant, Christin Trujillo, will guide a small, focused group of attendees to provide not only industry best-practices, but also one-on-one strategy and advice so attendees leave with a custom plan for financial understanding and success in the future.

“We look at the financials like A CFO,” says Nunn. “This is how we understand your current financial health, how you’re doing and what your opportunities are. The biggest thing that attendees are going to walk away with is a very clear roadmap for the next 12 months and a very clear checklist that includes the things they need to focus and do to become more profitable. We meet with clients and go through this, and they feel such relief with knowing where they stand. That’s what we’re offering at APMS: Medical Spa Finances.”

Prevent Blindness Launches New “Eyes on Capitol Hill” Online Advocacy Resource Designed to Empower Individuals to Be a Voice for Vision

Leave a comment


Prevent Blindness invites the public to “Be a Voice for Vision” by launching its all new patient advocacy website.

“As a patient advocacy organization, Prevent Blindness often serves as the voice of the patient,” said Jeff Todd, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness.


CHICAGO (PRWEB)

Prevent Blindness, the nation’s leading volunteer eye health organization, announced the launch of its new Eyes on Capitol Hill advocacy resource: Advocacy.PreventBlindness.org. The new website and legislative action center will educate and empower advocates with the vital information and necessary tools needed to successfully advocate for policies that preserve sight.

Founded 115 years ago in New York as a public health advocacy organization, Prevent Blindness began its mission to help eradicate a preventable form of blindness in newborns, commonly referred to as “Babies’ Sore Eyes.” By working with allied health professionals and local advocates, public policy was created to establish that all babies born in U.S. hospitals would be given potentially sight-saving eyedrops. More than a century later, Prevent Blindness has expanded its work to help protect healthy vision across the age and eye disease spectrum.

The new website was developed as an extension of the successful “Prevent Blindness Eyes on Capitol Hill” legislative day, an annual event now in its 18th year that provides patient advocates the opportunity to meet with their legislative representatives. The new advocacy resource offers:


  •     Up-to-date policy information that also dives into Prevent Blindness positions on issues that affect vision and eye health,

  •     Comprehensive skill-building resources designed to educate aspiring advocates on the basics of vision and eye health policy and Congressional advocacy, empower them to meet with legislators, and confidently connect their personal experiences to vision and eye health policy,

  •     A new Legislative Action Center, designed to provide advocates with direct access to their representatives in Washington, D.C., as well as to their local media outlets, allowing them to send tailored messages pertaining to eye health policy legislation that is meaningful to them,

  •     Opportunities for advocates to share their vision stories with Prevent Blindness for potential use in advocacy messaging,

  •     A full listing of members of the Congressional Vision Caucus, which was convened at the request of Prevent Blindness, and

  •     Accessibility tools that allow users to modify the website depending on their personal needs.

The website also contains information about the Prevent Blindness ASPECT Patient Engagement Program– Advocacy, Support, Perspective, Empowerment, Communication, and Training. The goal of the ASPECT Program is to empower individuals to harness the power of their own story to advocate for better eye health for themselves and others; improve services for those who are blind or have low vision; and/or engage with leaders at the local, state, or national level to effect change. To date, more than 125 advocates from 32 states across the country have joined the program.

“As a patient advocacy organization, Prevent Blindness often serves as the voice of the patient,” said Jeff Todd, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness. “Our new advocacy resource, coupled with the ASPECT program, better allows us to engage those patients and care partners in our efforts and continue to provide those affected by vision and eye health issues with the tools needed to educate others, including lawmakers, on the importance of adequately addressing the needs of those with significant vision impairments.”

For information on Prevent Blindness and its advocacy efforts, please visit Advocacy.PreventBlindness.org, or email advocacy@PreventBlindness.org.

About Prevent Blindness

Founded in 1908, Prevent Blindness is the nation’s leading volunteer eye health and safety organization dedicated to fighting blindness and saving sight.

This allows clients to conveniently receive treatment without having to leave home, which especially benefits college students and other young adults who need flexibility and convenient access due to their busy schedules and transportation issues.

Using telehealth technologies, the Embark virtual care platform allows for real-time, secure video sessions with highly skilled and compassionate therapists. This approach fosters a strong therapeutic alliance between clinicians and clients, resulting in effective communication and personalized treatment plans.

More About the Embark OCD Track

To enhance its virtual services for youths and young adults, Embark Virtual IOP is offering an OCD track in all states where the online mental health program is available. Young people who participate in the IOP’s mood and anxiety group attend a one-hour breakout group that’s focused on exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy as well as individual and family sessions. The group, individual, and family (or couples) sessions are led by an ERP-trained therapist.

The virtual IOP OCD track emphasizes ERP, an evidence-based approach, as it’s widely considered the treatment of choice for individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder. As part of the track, every week, caregivers and clients will complete the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) and Children’s Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS) for adolescents’ surveys to assess progress toward goals.

Embark Virtual IOP Overview

Embark Virtual IOP is an insurance-reimbursed program available to residents in various states across the country. Virtual IOP is ideal for adolescents, teens, and young adults as part of an after- and continuing-care plan ─ for example when they’re stepping down from a higher level of care, such as residential treatment or outdoor therapy, or up from a lower level of care, such as weekly individual therapy.

Embark Virtual IOP offers individual, family (or loved ones), and group therapy as well as psychiatry and medication management services, along with delivering evidenced-based therapy via experiential activities including yoga, sculpting, music therapy, mindfulness, and painting.

Typically, adolescents, teens, and young adults in the 12-week virtual IOP spend three hours per day for four days per week in a variety of interactive group therapy sessions and will participate in individual sessions weekly and family therapy sessions at least once every other week.
