PetDesk, the leading veterinary client engagement solution that specializes in connecting pet owners with their clinics for better pet care, has partnered with Evergreen Podcasts, a leading podcast distribution provider and production house, to create a new show. The podcast Simple, Interrupted: Surviving Radical Vet Industry Changes is aimed at offering best practices and solutions to veterinary professionals for surviving and thriving in the shifting industry. 

"The veterinary industry is evolving at breakneck speed these days. With over 70% of households in North America owning one or more pets, the time to guide pet owners to the best care is now," said Mary Schwartz, host of the podcast. "In the face of big-box retailers offering cheap and fast veterinary services, and pet owners consulting the Internet for pet medical advice, independent clinics must adapt now and arm themselves with the tools for fighting back."

"With the help of Mary, and an amazing line-up of top veterinary professionals who have the clinics' and pets' best interests at heart, I'm excited for the veterinary world to listen to these much-needed discussions," said Judie Vegh, executive producer. "These urgent topics must be examined so that together, we can embrace what's happening and evolve for the betterment of veterinary care."

The conversational podcast will cover topics such as Recruitment, Team Training, and Clinic Culture that will help aid in developing a CareFirst Approach. Each episode will aid in the mission of PetDesk to help veterinary practices to assist their staff, expand their business, and guide clients to better care through the use of their app. Simple Interrupted: Surviving Radical Vet Industry Changes can be found searching on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, iHeart, Amazon Music, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Medical Assistants Recognition Week Logo

The American Association of Medical Assistants® (AAMA), the only organization in the world devoted exclusively to the medical assisting profession, will celebrate Medical Assistants Recognition Week (MARWeek) with the theme "Medical Assistants Are MAGIC: Medical Assistants Give Incredible Care." The national appreciation week will take place October 17-21, and medical assistants across the country will be honored on Medical Assistants Recognition Day, Wednesday, October 19.

This year's theme, "Medical Assistants Are MAGIC," spotlights the spectacular care provided by medical assistants as multiskilled medical professionals. The theme honors medical assistants' versatility and commitment to excellence, ensuring quality patient-centered health care. 

"MARWeek is a special time for patients, providers and employers to celebrate and recognize medical assistants as vital members of the outpatient care team," says Deborah Novak, CMA (AAMA), 2021-2022 vice president of the AAMA. "Credentialed medical assistants are multiskilled professionals who are trained to provide safe, compassionate, and quality patient care."

MARWeek offers employers, medical assistants and CMAs (AAMA)® an opportunity to recognize medical assistants' contributions to health care delivery effectiveness. Here are suggestions for ways to observe the week:

• Implement new policies for medical assisting staff training, educational assistance, benefits, flex time or other new programs.
• Hold a special medical assisting training seminar on company time.
• Dedicate the October issue of your practice newsletter to your medical assisting staff, recognizing exceptional efforts and overall contributions.
• Offer to display the MARWeek poster in a prominent place in your practice.

To access all materials, including observance suggestions, logos and a poster, visit the AAMA website: https://www.aama-ntl.org/news/marweek.

The AAMA created MARWeek to recognize medical assistants' contributions to health care delivery effectiveness. Medical assistants function as members of the health care delivery team and perform administrative and clinical procedures. With their unique versatility, medical assistants are proving to be the allied health professionals of choice for this decade and beyond. Medical assisting is one of the nation's careers growing much faster than average for all occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

TOOTRiS Child Care Platform
Child Care On-Demand

In commemoration of 9/11 and the strength, courage, and service of first responders across the country, TOOTRiS announces their National 50 in 50 First Responder Honor Gift. 

As champions for the September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance, AmeriCorps has called on Americans to turn one of the most tragic days in U.S. history into a day of good and betterment - TOOTRiS is proud to respond.

More than 25% of American families say finding Child Care is a nightmare, and for first responders (fire fighters, police, EMTs, nurses) who work long and varying hours, the challenge is even greater.

To ease the burden and provide help, TOOTRiS is launching its National 50 in 50 First Responder Honor Gift program. With the gift, the first 50 certified first responders to sign up in each of the 50 states will get free access to TOOTRiS' Premium Child Care platform free of charge for a full year. This allows first responders to access over 180,000 licensed Child Care providers nationwide, 24x7, enabling them to search, vet, and enroll their children in real-time quality Child Care programs for full-time, drop-ins, emergencies, before and after school, during standard and non-standard hours, no matter where they live and work.

"Children and their families are at the core of what we do at TOOTRiS just as first responders are at the core of our communities," said Alessandra Lezama, TOOTRiS CEO and select member of the ReadyNation CEO Task Force on Early Childhood. "TOOTRiS is humbled to be able to give back to first responders in a way that makes life better for their entire family."

First Responders who'd like to receive the First Responder Honor Gift should visit 50-in-50 for more information and eligibility. The first 50 first responders in each state to respond will receive the TOOTRiS Premium Child Care Gift. 

About TOOTRiS

TOOTRiS was founded in 2019 to transform Child Care so that every person, in every city, in every state has access to affordable Child Care options. TOOTRiS is the only technology platform that integrates the entire Child Care ecosystem (children, parents, providers, employers, and service organizations). This makes finding Child Care more convenient, affordable, and on-demand. For more information visit tootris.com.

The mission of New Life Solutions is to protect the unborn, share the gospel, and transform communities — one life at a time. Through four strategically located women's health clinics around the Tampa Bay area, women, men, and teens receive the medically accurate information, education, and empowerment they need to make the best choices for their futures. New Life Solutions feels that at this moment, that support is being threatened.

Recently, corporations like Yelp have begun implementing new tactics to paint pro-life pregnancy care centers (CPCs) in a negative light. For example, Yelp is erroneously tagging CPCs with inaccurate information, according to New Life Solutions. This crackdown comes amid pressure following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade this past June. Unfortunately, this misinformation is vague and falsely represents New Life Solutions.

"Yelp's disclaimer tagged to A Woman's Medical Clinic, specifically says 'Crisis Pregnancy Centers typically provide limited medical services and may not have licensed medical professionals onsite,' a statement that is categorically false for us," said Charles DiMarco, President/CEO of New Life Solutions. "The way these tags are designed can hinder women and families in the community from finding the help and services they so desperately need."

New Life Solutions operates four medical clinics throughout the Tampa Bay area, each staffed with medical professionals offering services in ultrasound imaging, well-woman care, pregnancy testing, and STI/STD testing and treatment. The work by New Life Solutions will remain steadfast in seeking to serve those women, men, and families in need.
