For nearly 30 years, Tepeyac has provided high-quality, compassionate, integrated health care for all. The new clinic allows the nonprofit to accept more patients and expand its services while ensuring that love, empathy, and humility remain at the core of its care.

“If you had told me 28 years ago that we would someday have a community health center of this size, with the expanded services to meet the needs of our community at this scale, I don’t think I would have believed it.” stated Jim Garcia, Founder and CEO of Tepeyac. “Come see for yourself. We can’t wait to welcome you into our new home!”

Tepeyac makes it easy for the entire community to receive the inclusive and comprehensive care that they deserve, and no one will be turned away for inability to pay.

“Tepeyac was built by the community for the community and that holds true as we move into this beautiful new space. This is the result of years of careful listening to our patients, and our staff, of working together to design a warm welcoming space with more services for more members of the community.” states Dr. Pamela Valenza, CHO of Tepeyac.

Come celebrate the Grand Opening of Tepeyac’s new home and services. With entertainment and activities for the entire family, this Block Party is not one to miss.

Caring Transitions Continues Expansion with New Connecticut Location

Leave a comment


Karen owns the business and didn’t have to look far for an operations manager; that will be her husband, Pete. The Warner’s were exploring new business opportunities and after searching for something that aligned with their values, they found Caring Transitions. As a former registered nurse and then vice president in pharmaceutical sales, Karen was searching for something that could tie in her previous career experience.

“I worked at the bedside for over twenty years taking care of patients, so I have a tremendous amount of empathy for people and after working on the business side, I knew I needed to do more with helping people. Pete and I both knew that we wanted to do something different that would allow us to utilize our varied background in health care and sales and then apply that experience and passion to helping people, so owning our own Caring Transitions seemed like a perfect fit”.

Caring Transitions of Guilford will serve Guilford, Branford, East Haven, New Haven, North Haven, North Branford, North Guilford, and Wellington. Caring Transitions currently has more than 280 franchise locations serving families across the country. Karen hopes that their new location can serve as a one-stop-shop for those going through what can be a difficult change in life.

“In our area there’s really not a company that can offer the concierge service we can,” Karen admitted. “We can do senior relocation, downsizing, decluttering, organizing and estate sales. I’m hoping we can give a service where clients can pick and choose and at the same time interact with people who are empathetic to their needs.”

“We’re thrilled to have Karen and Pete in the Caring Transition family and to be able to offer our compassionate care along the shoreline in Connecticut,” said Ray Fabik, President of Caring Transitions. “The Warners are passionate about the people they’ll be helping and the community can be assured they are in good hands with the experience and level of professionalism both Karen and Pete offer.”

Limited Access Leaves Customers Concerned

Leave a comment


In response to recent changes in government policy causing challenges in obtaining free rapid test kits, PPE Supply Canada has emerged as a key player, offering accessible and affordable rapid test kits crucial for daily health practices amid the rise of new COVID-19 variants. At the same time, health authorities are closely monitoring the EG.5 variant, projected to be dominant in the U.S., and the highly mutated BA.2.86 variant, with the BC Centre for Disease Control identifying Canada’s first case of this rapidly circulating Omicron strain. Amid these developments, PPE Supply Canada ensures same-day fulfillment in the Greater Toronto Area and swift shipping across Canada and the U.S., offering BTNX and Lucira Health rapid test kits. Their commitment to community well-being shines through by empowering individuals, families, and businesses to proactively ensure health and safety.

TORONTO, Aug. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In the wake of recent shifts in government policy regarding the distribution of free rapid test kits, acquiring them has become a cumbersome task for most families, individuals, and businesses. Addressing this challenge head-on, PPE Supply Canada emerges as the leading retailer committed to providing fast access to affordable rapid test kits, a tool that has become essential in our daily health and safety practices, especially with new COVID-19 variants on the rise around the globe.

While PPE Supply Canada strives to keep our communities safe, health authorities are diligently monitoring the emergence and spread of three new COVID-19 variants, with the EG.5 variant taking center stage. It is projected to be the prevalent strain in the U.S. due to its prominence in the proportion of new COVID-19 cases in comparison to other variants. According to the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, EG.5 now constitutes over 20% of all U.S. COVID-19 cases. Additionally, hospitalizations are on the rise, with the latest figures from August 19 revealing a 19% week-on-week increase, reporting 15,067 new COVID-19 hospitalizations. The World Health Organization has classified the EG.5 strain as a “variant of interest”.

Simultaneously, health authorities are closely monitoring a newly emerged, highly mutated variant named BA.2.86. While BA.2.86’s prevalence has yet to reach a level discernible within the CDC’s estimates, it is currently being grouped together with its distant precursor, BA.2. Meanwhile, the BC Centre for Disease Control has identified Canada’s first case of this rapidly circulating variant of the Omicron strain, only increasing the need for test kits across all households in North America, as the more communities are able to stay on top of their health status, the more controllable the spread will be.

In the midst of these recent COVID-19 developments, PPE Supply Canada stands as the primary source for those in search of quick access to rapid antigen test kits, ensuring that all orders are fulfilled the same business day they are placed. Recognizing the urgency of the matter, and that customers may need to test themselves or their loved ones as soon as possible, the company proudly offers same-day delivery services within the Greater Toronto Area. Customers can place their orders by 11:00 AM and receive their test kits that same evening.

For all customers outside of this region, even those in rural locations, PPE Supply Canada offers fast, affordable shipping options that get rapid test kits to the customer as soon as the next day from when the order is placed. The company caters to anywhere in Canada and the U.S. and has united with the world’s most trusted and reliable shipping partners.

Adding another layer of convenience, PPE Supply Canada is also available on the Uber Eats Canada platform, granting local customers the ability to get their rapid test kits with the same ease as ordering a meal.

PPE Supply Canada offers rapid test kits from the industry’s most reputable brands, BTNX and Lucira Health, ensuring unbeatable accuracy, confidence and ease of use for all customers.

The company’s rapid test product lineup includes the BTNX Rapid Antigen Test Kit, as well as the highly-regarded and sought-after Lucira Health COVID-19 Check-It molecular test. Their commitment to the health of our communities extends further, as they also offer the Lucira Health COVID-19 & Flu test, an innovative tool that helps to distinguish between the two illnesses with unbeatable efficiency, ensuring that the individual treats their symptoms accordingly.

At the heart of PPE Supply Canada’s mission lies an unwavering dedication to the well-being of the community. By bridging the gap left by government changes, the retailer strives to empower individuals, families, and businesses to take proactive measures to ensure the health and safety of all.
