Eating Recovery Center Honored as “Champions in Health Care” Award Recipient

Posted by Erik Keith on September 28, 2009 at 10:17am

Eating Recovery Center (www.eatingrecoverycenter.com), the only behavioral hospital in Colorado focused on comprehensive and sustainable treatment of eating disorders, was honored as a “Champion in Health Care” by the Denver Business Journal at the newspaper’s annual awards ceremony last night. “Champions in Health Care” annually awards eight organizations and individuals who have made an impact on health care in the Denver community through their concern for patients, their research and inventions, their management skills, their innovative programs for employees and their service to the poor and uninsured. Honorees are judged on their innovation, professional accomplishment and community leadership. The newest eating disorder center in Denver, Eating Recovery Center was awarded this honor in the small health care/medical facility category. “We founded Eating Recovery Center to fill a void in Denver eating disorder treatment,” explains Dr. Kenneth Weiner, medical director and founding partner of Eating Recovery Center. “Adults challenged with varying intensities of eating disorders in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond now have access to a truly integrated treatment program that cultivates lasting behavioral change and sustains long-term recovery, despite the stage or severity of their disease.” The Center’s October 2008 opening launched Colorado eating disorder treatment to the forefront as unique in the country. Denver is now one of the few cities in the U.S. where adults with severe eating disorders can receive the full spectrum of recovery options under the supervision of nationally recognized eating disorder experts. “Eating Recovery Center sets itself apart with a committed team of compassionate professionals,” explains Weiner. “Our staff is made up of professionals who are not only highly respected for their expertise in the field, but are also real people who truly care about their patients and are passionate about their lasting recovery.” Eating Recovery Center, now open in central Denver and accepting patients from across the country, was founded by renowned experts Dr. Kenneth L. Weiner and Dr. Emmett R. Bishop, who have separately founded numerous other treatment centers throughout the country. Eating Recovery Center proves to be the culmination of the two doctors’ efforts and expertise.

Boulder County Rescue Team Elects Youngest Chief/President in Agency History

Boulder Emergency Squad, Inc, a non-profit 501c.3 volunteer agency elected Andrew J.C. Moschetti to the position of Corporate President and the role of Chief of Operations at their bi-annual elections held this week. Moschetti-26, a five year veteran of the agency, replaces retiring Chief Dan J. Eamon who led the agency for the past four years.

(Boulder, Colorado). September 18, 2009 -- Boulder Emergency Squad-B.E.S. announced today the election of Andrew J.C. Moschetti as its newest President and Chief. The 45-year all volunteer rescue team elected Moschetti as its youngest to ever hold that position.

As the person responsible for coordinating search and rescue, Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle says he relies heavily on the rescue team for a number of critical emergency services. "Along with several other key volunteer agencies, I rely on the B.E.S. volunteers to help our County and my department perform essential rescue functions", said Pelle.

Stepping down as President and Chief is Daniel J. Eamon, who during his four-year tenure championed new services vital to the county response posture including an equipped and trained wildland fire crew, county-wide water rescue protocols, and a standardized emergency training program known as JointFire

Moschetti recently held the position of Division Chief responsible for emergency services response, training certifications, and operational readiness. "I'm proud to usher in the next era of professional technical rescue services as Chief", said Moschetti, and "Dan [Eamon] has been an extremely valuable mentor to me".

With Boulder Emergency Squad since 2005, Moschetti maintains certifications as an EMT, public safety diver, swift-water rescue technician, wildland firefighter, and extrication technician. He holds degrees from the University of Colorado in Molecular-Cellular-Developmental Biology, Japanese Language and Literature, and Architecture.

Boulder Emergency Squad maintains high proficiency levels necessary to deliver services. "The training provided by B.E.S. is some of the most vigorous in the county since they adhere to NFPA [National Fire Protection Agency] standards", said Bret Gibson, Chief of Four Mile Fire Protection District. According to Moschetti, there are several important training initiatives in the coming months.

About Boulder Emergency Squad: B.E.S. is an all volunteer, 501c.3 technical rescue team serving the County of Boulder in Colorado provides a number of special technical rescue services at no charge. Services include underwater dive rescue, swift water creek rescue, vehicle extrication, low-angle scree evacuations, wildland fire fighting, structural fire support, and is a trained staffing resources for the Boulder County Sheriff's Department.

Spa Slip Decorative Hot Tub Cover

Posted by Spa Slip on September 17, 2009 at 2:56pm

Realtor sees opportunity in today’s housing marketIn a weaker Real Estate market the importance of showing a home like a “model’ has become more important than ever. In order to sell their home, many clients now stage their homes with model furniture and designer decorating ideas. “You get to live in your house one way and you have to sell it another” says veteran Realtor Rusty McCoy of Boulder, Colorado. This philosophy extends to the back yard and that ugly hot tub cover which adorns your very expensive landscaping. We’ve developed a slip cover which attaches over the typical hard cover of most hot tubs. The weathered old hard cover is covered with a fresh, new looking slip cover. We also have expanded this idea placing many college logos on the Spa Slip cover. Additionally, we’ve found many people who want to extend the life of typical thermal covers. We’ve developed a second generation Spa Slip which will actually protect the insulating cover from fading and breaking down thus postponing the unwanted replacement of a $400-$600 hard cover. www.spaslip.com

Stand Up To Cancer - Manage Your Treatment

Posted by Erik Keith on September 16, 2009 at 2:54pm

Award-winning actresses Edie Falco and Cynthia Nixon appear in a new Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) public service campaign (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9avVoQB2_rQ) to educate cancer patients and their loved ones about the increased risk of infection during cancer treatment and the importance of learning how to manage one’s risk.Often patients are overwhelmed with medical information once they have been diagnosed with cancer. Many do not fully understand the risk of infection during chemotherapy and the potential impact it has on one’s overall treatment success. The campaign’s goal is to encourage cancer patients and their caregivers to actively work with their physicians to learn what can be done to lower the risk of infection before starting chemotherapy.“Learning you have cancer comes as a complete shock and, at first, makes you feel powerless,” says Falco, SU2C ambassador and cancer survivor. “You really need to take control early. It is important to work with your team of physicians at the outset to understand how to minimize your risk of infection and stay strong throughout your treatment plan.”“Being told that you have cancer is devastating,” adds Nixon, SU2C ambassador and cancer survivor. “But you need to stay empowered. Through this Stand Up To Cancer campaign, we hope to encourage cancer patients and their loved ones to get all the facts, including how you can minimize the risk of infection during treatment.”The public service campaign, “Manage Your Treatment,” includes both print and broadcast announcements, and was created by Stand Up to Cancer™ with support from Amgen. Starting this fall, the 30- and 60-second broadcast spots will begin airing and the print version of the PSA will appear in major women and lifestyle magazines. The PSA directs people to www.manageyourtreatment.com for more information.Cancer patients are at higher risk for infection due to a compromised immune system caused by both the cancer itself and, often, by chemotherapy treatment. Neutropenia, a low white blood cell count, is a common and potentially dangerous side effect of chemotherapy. It can lead to a heightened risk of infection that can require hospitalization and be life-threatening. Each year, 60,000 cancer patients are hospitalized for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. Neutropenia also can disrupt chemotherapy treatment, including both dose delays and dose reductions, which -- for certain types of cancer -- may impede a patient’s ability to achieve the best long-term results.

“Share Your Heart” in the Fight Against Breast Cancer

Posted by Erik Keith on September 16, 2009 at 2:53pm

Entertainment Industry Foundation announced today the launch of a heart-wrenching video to raise awareness of Lee National Denim Day, one of the largest single-day fundraisers benefiting the Women’s Cancer Programs of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF). The video, entitled “Share Your Heart”, encourages people to participate in Denim Day by sharing intimate stories of their courageous fight with breast cancer.The video provides real life stories that compliment the story of Lee Denim Day’s spokesperson, Emmy Award-winning actress Christina Applegate, star of ABC’s hit sitcom Samantha Who?, who has returned as the 2009 ambassador for the campaign. Applegate, who was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer in 2008, will appear in a new public service campaign that, along with the Share Your Heart video, encourages people to wear their jeans on Friday, October 2, in exchange for a $5 donation to support crucial breast cancer research being funded by the Women’s Cancer Programs.Registration is now open and people nationwide can sign up for Denim Day 2009. Groups and individuals can register by visiting www.denimday.com or by calling 1.800.521.5533 to receive a comprehensive participation kit, which includes educational materials about breast cancer and supplies for easy coordination. As an added incentive, anyone who signs up by May 21 will be entered to win one of 100 free Denim Day tote bags.The money raised through the campaign will help the Women’s Cancer Programs of EIF to:• Support the grassroots work of the National Breast Cancer Coalition, which informs, trains and directs patients and others in effective breast cancer advocacy efforts.• Fund EIF’s Breast Biomarker Discovery Project, a multi-year effort led by world-class scientists to develop a blood test for earlier detection of breast cancer.• Create resources with the National Breast Cancer Coalition to offer individuals with breast cancer evidence-based information, and train advocates nationwide.• And this year, funds will also support Applegate’s newly launched foundation Right Action for Women. The foundation educates women about what it means to be at “high risk” for breas t cancer and encourage them to talk to their doctors about appropriate screening.

The contribution was made possible by Advance America, the nation’s largest provider of cash advance services. “For over 100 years the Urban League has worked to foster economic strength and prosperity within the African American community,” said Urban League President and CEO Landri Taylor. “The Urban League of Metro Denver is beginning anew in pursuit of that mission, and this contribution from Advance America means a great deal to our success.” Green, former wide receiver and two‐time Super Bowl Champ with the Broncos during the 1997‐98 winning seasons, is Director of Corporate Development and Community Outreach for Advance America. As part of the company’s established commitment to community building, Green has spearheaded financial support of charitable programs around the country. But the contribution to the Urban League of Metro Denver in the city that gave him the ultimate prize in professional football is special. “I love Denver and the people of this town were incredibly supportive of me when I played football here,” said Green. “Advance America is pleased to support such a worthwhile cause and an organization that is vital to the city’s well‐being.” The Urban League of Metro Denver epitomizes the focus of Advance America’s national community outreach program. The emphasis is on strengthening the fabric of communities the company serves. The Urban League’s longstanding history of helping to create opportunities for African Americans in the Metro Denver community is one Advance America believes must be continued. The $10,000 contribution will go toward the President’s Circle Advisory Group, assembled by Taylor to help provide counsel on how best to ensure a lasting future for the Urban League. Advance America is the country’s leading provider of cash advance services, with approximately 2,650 centers nationwide and 68 centers in Colorado.
