MACOMB, Mich. (PRWEB)

Deacon Gregory Harris has completed his new book “Getting to Know God for Strangers”: a powerful handbook for those looking to accept Jesus into their life and understand all He can offer.

As Harris writes, “I was unhappy with the way my life was going, and I had nowhere to turn, so I tried God. It was the best choice I ever made. My worst day since I came to Jesus is better than my best day when I didn’t have Him. So for the last thirty years or so, I have been serving Him. I used to be a very selfish man, but something happened. I can’t pinpoint exactly when it was, but little by little, I began to change into this new creature. I am not who I used to be. I cannot hold in this joy I feel on the inside. I will not keep it for myself. I have to share it with my fellow men and women. It is my duty to get this information to you, and I ask you to please bear with me so I may share this knowledge with you and do what has been asked of me.”

Published by Page Publishing, Deacon Gregory Harris’s accessible text is the perfect tool for readers who feel as if other religious books have not spoken to them because, in the words of Harris himself, “Getting to Know God for Strangers” is “user-friendly, all you have to do is practice it in your daily life.” Readers will be left with a new understanding of what a relationship with God can bring, and how to keep that relationship strong in all situations.

Readers who wish to experience this potent work can purchase “Getting to Know God for Strangers” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

The National Alliance for Caregiving Releases a New White Paper Analyzing the Existing Impact of Incentives on Caregiver Services

Leave a comment


The paper discuses significant components that contribute to systemic setbacks, including specifics around variation in payment models, insurance coverages, health care settings and provider types.


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

In a new white paper, published by the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC), experts discuss incentives in the existing Medicare program that could motivate health systems and providers to offer more robust support to family caregivers. The paper specifically identifies barriers that prevent health systems and providers from providing new resources and offers innovative yet realistic solutions to help foster change. Constructed on extensive research and expert insight, NAC’s white paper informs providers, payers, and regulators, like The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), of the opportunities to reduce barriers and increase formal caregiver supports in the Medicare program.

Providing clarification into how specific barriers are currently hindering the expansion of caregiver services nationally, the paper covers both organizational and the systemic level obstacles. The paper discuses significant components that contribute to systemic setbacks, including specifics around variation in payment models, insurance coverages, health care settings and provider types. Additionally, on the organizational level, the paper discusses lack of standards of care, limited awareness of revenue opportunities, and poor accessibility of billing code information. Taken collectively, these qualitative factors present a unique cluster of challenges to caregivers and to those hoping to support them.

In healthcare settings across the country, caregivers are left out of consistent and crucial roles on their care-recipient’s health care team. The September 2021 RAISE Report to Congress supports a formal recognition of caregivers as members of the care team. Although the RAISE report has been widely accepted by Congress, the lack of incentives for supporting family caregivers in their role and in managing their own health continuously delay and hurt innovation initiatives. Navigating these complexities, emerging models of caregiver support already show promise for improving caregiver wellness, improving patient outcomes, and saving healthcare costs.

Although not widely publicized, exemplary models of care do exist. NAC takes time to highlight in the paper the importance of taking a closer look at models like the 4M Program at RUSH which demonstrates what caregiver support could look like and shows early promise of how patients, caregivers and health systems can benefit from caregiver services. The Rush Caregiver Health and Well-Being Initiative (Caregiver Initiative), funded by the RRF Foundation for Aging, compiles evidence-based practices into a unified framework to advance care needs for older adults and caregivers. Building on this research, the white paper specifies solution models incorporating patient-targeted and caregiver-targeted services

Made possible with support from Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and The Allergan Foundation, this analysis supports NAC’s work to identify cross-cutting solutions that will make life better for family caregivers.

Goose Insurance App Announces New Partnership with AIG Canada

Leave a comment


News Image


VANCOUVER, British Columbia (PRWEB)

Goose Insurance Services, an innovative insurance technology company that is making it easier and faster for consumers to get the coverage they need through a self-serve mobile app, announced a partnership with AIG Insurance Company of Canada (AIG Canada) to provide new protections for Canada’s growing gig economy. The pandemic has caused significant growth of freelance work. A 2021 report from Payments Canada found that more than one in 10 Canadian adults are gig workers and more than one in three businesses employ gig workers. The new insurance offerings, now available on the Goose app via the App Store or Google Play, include Income Protection and Hospital Cash policies.

“The growing gig economy is representative of Canadians’ desire to have more flexibility in their schedules and control of their lives. People do not want to be tied down to a desk job. While they want to provide for themselves and their families, they also want the freedom to take time off for pursuits beyond work. Having access to easy to understand, affordable, and customizable insurance plans provides gig workers, self-employed, and small business owners the flexibility to secure the protection they need,” said Goose CEO and Co-Founder Dejan Mirkovic.

Gig employment lends more freedom with schedules and other flexibility, but these benefits come at a cost. As gig workers are often classified as self-employed or independent contractors instead of employees, they do not receive protections afforded to employees under Canadian labour statutes, including employment insurance.

“The growth of the gig economy in Canada has generated a need for insurance solutions that fill gaps in coverage provided to this community of workers,” said Shawn Austin, Head of Accident & Health, U.S. and Canada at AIG. “The pandemic has highlighted the need to ensure all workers have access to coverage that will protect them if they are injured and cannot work, or if they need to forgo work to take care of family members.”

“We are extremely excited to be partnering with Goose to offer our products through the Goose Insurance Super-App. Canadians can now purchase AIG Canada’s products in less than 60 seconds.” Austin, added.

New Daily Devotional Helps Readers Become Closer with the Bible and Meet Life Challenges in Only Five Minutes a Day

Leave a comment


“5 Minutes with God: A 365 Daily Devotional” By Brett T. Gilford

“My addiction recovery and journey with the Lord has been wonderful, not an easy one, but every day just got better and better. When you surrender your life to God, He does amazing things for you,” said Elder Brett. “You’re never too young or old to spend five minutes with God.”


DALLAS (PRWEB)

As a Christian Elder, Brett T. Gilford approaches 35 years of sobriety, he is now sharing the wonderful journey of how God helped to restore him at the darkest point in his life to inspire others to turn to Jesus in time of need. His new book “5 Minutes with God: A 365 Daily Devotional” provides a simple and easy approach to the Bible for those who may be new to their faith and those looking to deepen it.

Around 2008, Elder Brett started writing a gratitude list of 10 things he was grateful for each day which evolved into “Messages from Brett” after the Lord started speaking to him. He would send these messages to friends and family and then they eventually morphed into “5 Minutes with God.” He started compiling his devotionals and selected one for each day of the year along with a recommended scripture to provide readers with an easy way to connect with the Lord daily.

“My addiction recovery and journey with the Lord has been wonderful, not an easy one, but every day just got better and better. When you surrender your life to God, He does amazing things for you,” said Elder Brett. “You’re never too young or old to spend five minutes with God.”

“Spending time with God is vitally important to the believer. Without it, we would be like a ship without a rudder; aimlessly drifting through life. I am excited about Elder Brett Gilford’s devotional…His life is a testimony that spending 5 minutes with God reaps countless rewards.” – Pastor Sheryl Brady, Sr. Pastor of The Potter’s House North Dallas

Elder Brett acknowledges that everyone has different challenges and states that the Word of God will help get them through it. He hopes his journey will impact readers for years to come and that his devotional will help draw people closer to God and have an intimate relationship with their Bible.
