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.

Seattle-based healthcare technology company launches a full-featured solution that helps hospice organizations achieve their most important objectives.
The MedBridge Hospice Solution Improve staff engagement, retention, and care quality with a solution that provides best-in-class new staff onboarding and ongoing education.
MedBridge, the industry-leading online education and patient engagement solution, announced today that it has released a new comprehensive solution that enables hospice organizations to improve quality of care and staff retention.
As hospice organizations confront staffing shortages amid rising demand, many are hiring nurses who may be new to hospice and need to be brought up to speed quickly without risking care quality or the compliance errors associated with outdated or paper-based onboarding programs. As a result, more organizations are turning to digital technologies as an effective, efficient solution.
MedBridge is leading that transformation with the MedBridge Hospice Solution, a complete, end-to-end platform that helps organizations in three critical areas: onboarding, staff engagement and development, and quality improvement. The solution works to elevate care quality and family satisfaction while reducing operating costs, streamlining onboarding, and boosting staff retention.
Hospice organizations using MedBridge have improved new nurse time to productivity by seven days (and saved $7,000), reduced the cost of onboarding by 17.9%, and improved new nurse retention by 28% in the first 90 days. Organizations are also driving improvements in care quality and performance by implementing effective QAPI programs that boost clinical competency, patient quality of life, and reimbursement rates. With MedBridge, the analytics and reporting capabilities that mitigate compliance and regulatory risks have improved CAHPS scores to over 95% and increased HIS accuracy by 14%.
"MedBridge is dedicated to helping hospice organizations solve their biggest challenges so they can continue to serve patients and families with the highest level of compassionate care. We're pleased to offer a solution that combines powerful staff education with proven tools for quality improvement, empowering organizations to boost staff retention, enhance end-of-life care, and ultimately improve patient quality of life and family satisfaction," said Joseph Brence, PT, DPT, MBA, FAAOMPT, Head of Clinical Strategy at MedBridge.
Key elements of the MedBridge solution include the MedBridge Learning Management System (LMS), Skills and Competency Manager, the full suite of MedBridge education products, and effective analytics and reporting software. Together, the MedBridge LMS and Skills and Competency Manager help organizations quickly and effectively prepare new nurses for the field with digital skills self-assessment checklists and customized training programs focused on identified skill gaps. MedBridge analytics and reporting software replaces pen-and-paper education and tracking, saving considerable time and effort, improving transparency and data analysis, and reducing the risk of errors and reimbursement losses.

Daily Malong brings a royalty inspired collection for its second year at New York Fashion Week. Keeping their momentum from last year's debut in New York Fashion Week, Daily Malong once again champions Filipino Indigenous weaving through intentional pieces that will set the future of Pilipinx fashion in the diaspora. With the overarching theme of "Royalty is Indigenous," the collection and its theme embody the soul of traditional weaving and designs that are rooted in the pre-colonial era of the Philippines. The pre-colonial Philippines is considered the golden age of ingenuity.
The new collection flaunts intricate artisan hand-woven pieces, which were adorned by pre-colonial tribal leaders, master artists, shamans and other important roles in communities called barangay or balangay. The vibrant prints and designs represent strength, solidarity, and tradition that embody the true regal spirit of the culture. Daily Malong is pivoting the conversation around indigeneity into the present and future by showcasing pieces that show the true essence of less tapped Filipino culture that is reminiscent of artistry beyond the more common Manila-centric and post colonial narrative. Expect to see empowered silhouettes and strobes of colors as the handwoven fabrics meld into modern ensembles.
Creative Director (Lydia Querian) started Daily Malong's journey due to a growing interest of the Pilipinx community in indigenous culture and heritage. Lydia saw the opportunity between the diaspora's needs for cultural identity and the indigenous Filipinos' need to keep the living traditions. Daily Malong provides the North American market with a supply of fashionable clothing pieces that use artisan textiles and materials. The pieces can be casual and formal wear, which easily fall under the categories of high fashion, sustainable, and slow fashion. As a social enterprise, Daily Malong takes pride in providing livelihood to indigenous communities in the Philippines through an ethical supply chain, bridging the gap between both spectrums of the diaspora and the homeland. "Bringing indigenous weaving practices to the future perpetuates time-tested traditions, helping the present and protecting the future," said Querian. "Each indigenous textile worn today helps wearers and weavers navigate societal atrocities, prevent climate change, and restore a more sustainable environment."
The show is ready to set another groundbreaking fashion display at the Rooftop of The Edison at Time Square on September 10, 2022, at 5:00 PM EST in partnership with hiTechMODA. hiTechMODA is a brand that promotes fashion brands focused on environmental causes, sustainability, and inclusivity, which is in line with Daily Malong's values.

San Diego-area patients healing from alcohol and drug addiction who also need mental health care can find it at Park Mental Health Treatment of San Diego on El Cajon Boulevard.
The new facility is the sister of Encinitas-based Shoreline Recovery Center, a dual-diagnosis alcohol and drug rehab facility with flexible, personalized treatment plans that combine evidence-based therapies, clinical best practices and opportunities to expand job skills and training.
"On a fundamental level, what we're trying to do is get these guys sober and help them find a life of purpose," said Shoreline Recovery Center's Executive Director Kate Judd. "In order to create long-term sobriety, they need to have a reason for why they want to be sober long term."
Established five years ago as a stand-alone sober living center in North County, Shoreline Recovery Center is a successful, community program where accountability thrives. The results are due to the curriculum, which is structured to provide clients with programs and services that create high levels of success with a focus on interest, purpose and assessments.
"A lot of what we do and provide goes above and beyond as far as development of purpose to reorient clients into a meaningful life without drugs and alcohol," said Judd.
The No. 1 priority of Shoreline Recovery Center is healing the family system from addiction. This includes teaching parents what is acceptable and not when it comes to involvement in their adult kid's life.
Through integrated workshops, the center's professionals help families differentiate between helping and enabling during support sessions. "This is a huge focus of our work," Judd said. "The line between helping and enabling can easily become blurred."
Following the brunt of COVID-19, a noticeable need developed for additional programming that centered on mental health to better serve client needs and Park Mental Health Treatment of San Diego was born. The facility supports the same culture, accountability, integrity and development in purpose that Shoreline was built on.
Park Mental Health provides expert care for clients who need mental health and substance abuse counseling by providing comprehensive, individualized treatment plans that encourage clients to return to or create productive, happy and healthy lives.
The center provides compassionate, evidence-based, primary mental health treatment for clients with mood (anxiety, depression, bi-polar), thought (schizophrenia, schizoaffective), and co-occurring disorders. It's comprehensive programming includes a multi-disciplinary team with psychiatrists, therapists and counselors, has a focus on equity and cultural competency and is LGBTQIA2+ affirming.
