Employees of Massachusetts-Based Cannabis Operator Create Road Race Team to Raise Funds and Awareness to Support Dana-Farber's Mission to Defy Cancer

SOMERSET, Mass. - August 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Today, Solar Cannabis Co. (Solar) announced its "Team Green" runners participating in the 50th Falmouth Road Race raised a $13,500 donation to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Dana-Farber), a world leader in adult and pediatric cancer treatment and research. 

In support of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, employees of Solar created "Team Green," who will be participating in the 50th running of the historical Falmouth Road Race on Aug. 21, 2022. Team Green, which comprises 11 runners, banded together to create a first-of-its-kind, cannabis-industry race team and successfully helped raise a $13,500 donation to aid in Dana-Farber's mission to defy cancer. Dana-Farber is renowned as one of the leading cancer treatment and research institutions in the Northeast and provides adults and children battling cancer the very best treatment available today while developing tomorrow's cures through cutting-edge research. 

"We are so humbled and couldn't be more grateful for the funds raised by Team Green runners and the donations we received from a mix of amazing friends, family, and partners," said Derek Gould, Director of Marketing and Communications at Solar Cannabis Co.  

Solar's employees conceptualized Team Green to not only generate funds and awareness for Dana-Farber's mission, but also raise awareness of cannabis' positive role in mitigating - or even removing - cancerous symptoms and side effects of various cancer treatments. All of Team Green's fundraising will be donated to Dana-Farber's "Unrestricted Funds" program for their patients. These funds cover any procedures or treatments or treatment aids that are not covered by traditional insurance and make a daily difference in the care, comfort, and life of each and every patient.

"There are so many people that have been directly impacted by cancer in one way or another," said Gould. "To be able to deliver this donation to Dana-Farber and support their mission to defy cancer is truly a remarkable feat that we couldn't have done alone." 

In addition to the funds raised by Team Green runners, other support and donations included Solar Cannabis Co., Hub International, BayCoast Bank, Advance Manufacturing Co., Corporate Image Apparel, The American Legion, Last Prisoner Project, MassEON, and The South Coast LGBTQ+ Network. Following the 50th running of the Falmouth Road Race, Solar will be hosting a finish line after-party at the Falmouth Raw Bar, which will feature food, beverages, and more.

BeeHive Franchisee of 34 Communities across Texas and New Mexico Demonstrates Their Attention toward Staff Retention, Wellness, and Flexibility in the Workplace through Technology

TORONTO - August 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

As operators struggle to retain and recruit staff in wake of the national staffing shortage, BeeHive Homes New Mexico is partnering with BookJane, an all-in-one shift fulfillment platform, to enhance their employee experience and stand out in the job market. 

According to the U.S. Bureau of labor, the nursing home industry lost roughly 224,000 front-line workers since 2020. Placing heightened stress on team members and compounding the impact of subsequent turnover and labor costs.  

Nathan Manning, Owner and COO, knew that to remain competitive, BeeHive New Mexico needed to rethink their approach to solving the labor crisis, particularly focusing on the employee experience and providing innovative tools to their staff.

Starting on their first day, all new BeeHive employees are encouraged to spend time directly with their residents to build personal relationships; a successful tip he shares to create an impactful onboarding experience.

"It's important to our team that new staff feel like they're a part of the community and that we build a culture that they want to continue to come back to work to," says Nathan.

Manning also added that when staff doesn't show up to work, it puts a heavy burden on administrators trying to fill last-minute shifts. Causing stress and a high turnover due to burnout.

"We want our employees to focus on work that is both meaningful and enjoyable. When they have to fill unexpected vacancies, they are spending up to five hours calling potential replacements instead," says Nathan. "We've recently introduced BookJane, an innovative shift call-out platform, to solve this issue. Schedulers can now easily notify staff of available shifts and empower them to accept shifts directly on their phone. We're filling more shifts, faster while eliminating the root cause of a lot of employee dissatisfaction."

BookJane also provides BeeHive New Mexico the ability to offer their staff greater control over their schedules with flexible shift opportunities. Staff can browse and accept shifts from their primary community or from nearby BeeHive locations and build a schedule that fits their lifestyle. BeeHive can additionally attract students and recently retired frontline staff to their workforce to work flex shifts and bolster shift fulfillment.

"One of the cool things that we also really liked about BookJane was the ability to communicate with all of our staff from any level. We send out a daily text centering around motivation, wellness, and/or self-improvement. The app will help us make a greater impact by reaching as many people as possible," says Nathan Manning. "Our staff are very enthusiastic about the transition and are looking forward to our partnership with BookJane!"

BeeHive is currently working with BookJane's dedicated customer success team to implement automated call-out, scheduling, and team communications across their 34 locations and set up their employees with quick and easy training and onboarding.

"We are proud to be partnering with BeeHive Homes," says Curtis Khan, CEO, and Founder of BookJane. "As the staffing crisis unfolds across North America, we're motivated to work with forward-thinking employers that are dedicated to prioritizing their employee's well-being. We're thrilled to be a central part of BeeHive Home's employee strategy and look forward to working together."

Venezuela native Dr. Maria Summers joins McCordsville, Indiana, dental office

MCCORDSVILLE, Ind. - August 17, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Dr. Matthew Vogt and The Dentists at Gateway Crossing provide exceptional dental care and an extraordinary patient experience. Recently, Dr. Vogt has brought on fellow Indiana University School of Dentistry colleague Dr. Maria Summers as a second dentist at the practice as featured in the Geist Magazine, a Towne Post Network publication.

"The goal was always to create a place in this community where patients can go for all facets of dental care," Dr. Vogt says. "It became clear at the end of 2021 that this was no longer a one-dentist job. Dr. Summers and I have known each other since our time in dental school, and having multiple doctors here will be great from a patient care perspective." 

Dr. Vogt is passionate about dental implant surgery and full-mouth smile reconstruction, while Dr. Summers focuses on restorative treatment and root canal therapy. Both doctors continue to concentrate on general family dentistry and cosmetic dentistry as well.

Dr. Summers also brings an additional service to the table. She was born in Venezuela and is fluent in Spanish. The practice is located near Lawrence, where the Hispanic population is a large part of the community. 

"Spanish is my first language," Dr. Summers says. "I think this appeals to Spanish-speaking patients because it's more comfortable and easier to understand what is going on in your language of origin. It helps to build trust."

Dr. Summers aims to educate patients on their dental health as well. By combining forces with Dr. Vogt, they provide a complete patient care experience in one place. Both participate in continuing education and utilize the latest technology to stay on top of cutting-edge procedures.

Dr. Vogt believes he has found the perfect addition to the practice with Dr. Summers joining the team. 

"Our team couldn't be more excited," he says. "Comprehensive, full-mouth care has become a big part of our practice, but we're still just as focused on general dentistry and the things that have brought us so many wonderful patients over the past four years. Collaborating with Dr. Summers will benefit our patients immensely and allow us to continue to provide the level of service we believe in."

The Dentists at Gateway Crossing is located at 6621 W. Broadway STE 600 in McCordsville, Indiana. For more information, visit their website, visit their listing on TownePost.com local directory, or give them a call at 317-643-9434. For press inquiries, contact Tom Britt at the Towne Post Network (317) 810-0011.
