About Pork Barrel BBQ

Pork Barrel BBQ was founded in December 2008 during the peak of the economic crisis to prove that a company not owned or operated by the federal government could succeed, and that if you had a good idea, it was still possible to grab a piece of the American Dream. Pork Barrel BBQ founders, Heath Hall and Brett Thompson, ran the company out of the basement of their houses, selling their award winning BBQ products one bottle at a time. In less than one year, their Pork Barrel BBQ Sauces and Spice Rub were carried in over 1,000 stores in 40 states. Throughout their journey, they have stayed true to their mission – to unite the nation through the great tradition of BBQ, and bring bipartisan flavor to your next meal. The Pork Barrel BBQ Competition BBQ Team entered its first contest, The Safeway National Capital Barbecue Battle, in June 2009, and walked away with two trophies – Second Place in the “Nations Best BBQ Sauce Contest” and Fourth Place for their pulled pork in the Memphis In May portion of the contest. Since then, the team has won multiple awards, including the 2011 Perdue National Chicken Championship, the Safeway National Capital Barbecue Battle in 2011, the “Chinet People’s Choice” award for best BBQ sauce in 2010 and other notable Memphis in May and Kansas City Barbecue Society BBQ competition accolades as well as having their Pork Barrel BBQ Original BBQ Sauce named Best Sauce in America and one of “The 125 Best Foods for Men” by Men’s Health Magazine in November 2010.

Visiting Elderly Parents This Holiday Season? Aging Solutions Releases Tips For How To Assess Their Condition: Look, Listen and Pause

December 25, 2011 - 11:50 am No Comments

Visiting Elderly Parents This Holiday Season? Aging Solutions Releases Tips For How To Assess Their Condition: Look, Listen and Pause











Terri Abelar


San Rafael, CA (PRWEB) December 25, 2011

Terri Abelar, CEO and founder of Aging Solutions, Inc. (http://www.agingsolutions.com), a client-centered care management company for the care of elderly and disabled adults has released the Eldercare Reality Check: Look, Listen and Pause just in time for the holidays, when thousands of adult children will be visiting their parents.

Heading home for the holidays to visit their families after a long break can stir up conflicting feelings for adult children. There’s the nostalgia of the old neighborhood, traditions to relive, the touchstones of memory. But when your parents reach a certain age, going home may also bring up sadness, worry, and apprehension: Are they still okay? What will I do if they’re not?

Currently One Quarter of Adult Children Are Providing Personal and Financial Care For Their Parents*.

According to a MetLife study published earlier this year, the share of adult children “providing personal care and/or financial assistance to a parent has more than tripled over the past 15 years. Currently, a quarter of adult children, mainly baby boomers, provide these types of care to a parent.”

But it’s also true that the physical and/or mental decline of adult parents is a touchy subject. The holidays are rarely the time for taking action for children who see problems with the parents; they’ll likely tell them, perhaps loudly, that it’s none of their business how they’re doing—casting a pall over the holidays for everyone. But concern about how and when adult children’s parents might need their help is still a legitimate one. The best way to begin is to make a quiet, but informed, assessment over the holidays. Three things to keep in mind: Look, Listen, and Pause.

According to Aging Solutions CEO and Founder Terri Abelar, “The emotional burden of aging parents is spreading wider and getting heavier. Aging Solutions offers these tips Look, Listen and Pause to help adult children access their loved one’s situation in a general way and then to still take time to enjoy the holidays.”

Look

Look means looking for changes in your parents’ ability to carry out simple daily tasks, such as brushing their teeth, taking out the garbage, or putting away dishes. Do they do these tasks with more difficulty or less regularly? Is old food piling up in the refrigerator? Do they walk across a room freely, or are they touching furniture and walls to navigate? If so, they may be having balance problems. Observe how many medications your parents are taking and whether they are taking them in an organized way and according to directions. Medication mix-ups are an increasingly common cause of sudden changes in aging parents’ conditions, especially in this era of pervasive, nonstop medication marketing. Taking the wrong medication at the wrong time in the wrong dosage can lead to multiple problems that quickly snowball. When clients describe changes in a parent’s behavior, memory, speech patterns, or balance, our first suspect is a medication mix-up. Fortunately, when identified, the problem can be solved in a few days.

Listen

Listen means truly listening to your parents as you converse—not interrogating them because you’re worried, or imposing your own expectations. Listen for vague phrases or clichés that signal acceptance or resignation and that are repeated regardless of topic—terms such as “you know, same as ever,” or “can’t complain, I guess.” Do they use these phrases when you ask about a specific activity such as grocery shopping? Can they tell you what a specific medication is for, and who prescribed it? Sometimes people with diminishing mental faculties use this verbal technique, called masking, to hide their increasing confusion. If they are confused, that’s a problem you need to know about—although again, the holidays aren’t the best time to confront it.

To drive or not to drive—that is the most frequently mentioned concern when adult children go home. If it is clear that a parent poses a driving danger you’ll want to deal with that situation without delay—but with a clear understanding that these are among the fiercest of intergenerational family battles. If you don’t want to be the bad guy who takes away the keys—someone is going to have to be—try to find third-party help: their doctor, a family friend, or even the DMV and local police.

Pause

Pause means to give yourself a break and don’t panic if what you see at home alarms you. Resist being overwhelmed. Pause and have a serious talk with yourself or your spouse about the importance of being present, in the moment, and enjoying the holiday. Remind yourself that when you get home, you’ll begin to carve out a long-term plan, with your brothers and sisters. If the problems appear to be too many and too complex to handle yourself, consider seeking help from a reputable, experienced geriatric-care manager or consultant, who will bring objectivity and specialized knowledge into the picture.

About Aging Solutions

Mission Statement

To promote safe and appropriate caregiving by families and the community through education and advocacy; to renew a sense of responsibility and common sense while respecting, caring for, and protecting elder and disabled adults through education and advocacy.

Client-Centered Care Management

For the past fourteen years, Aging Solutions has been providing Client-Centered Care Management to elderly and disabled adults. That philosophy means maximizing the integration of community-based services at the local level. This minimizes the need to use the already overburdened health care system as the default resource in a client’s life.

The Client Centered Care Management model is a community-based approach that maximizes the use of all existing community resources while minimizing unnecessary utilization of the health care system. This model is one that is increasingly being recognized in the academic literature as valid, and of benefit to both health organizations and individuals.

Each client in the Client Centered Care Management model has a complex care team consisting of (1) a care manager who provides an onsite assessment and who interacts directly with the patient’s doctors to clarify care issues and troubleshoot in support of the doctor’s treatment plan; (2) a non-clinical care coordinator, in charge of team activities and acting as a second liaison with the medical team; and (3) the client’s physician, who has ultimate authority over medical treatment. The ASI team does not itself provide medical treatment, therapies, or home care, or authorize or deny any medical services.

In many cases ASI acquires a new client during a crisis involving a significant change his or her health care or mental capacity. Once the client is situated securely and stabilized, he or she will experience a significant improvement in their quality of life under our coordinated care approach. Our approach is not only more salutary, it is usually more cost-effective for both the client and family and the local health-care system.

Well-executed Client-Centered Care Management organizes client care sufficiently to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits. Client education will assist the client in making better life decisions in conjunction with their health care providers and support system so that utilization can be sharply reduced while quality of life is enhanced.

ASI’s Care Management Plan follows a social rather than medical model. This ensures that a client’s needs are being met utilizing existing community resources; it changes the dynamics of a client’s quality of life for the better with the benefit of a team of professionals; and it reduces the client’s need to use the traditional health care system.

PPNEO Echoes National Study – Birth Control Pills are Basic Health Care

December 5, 2011 - 10:04 am No Comments

PPNEO Echoes National Study – Birth Control Pills are Basic Health Care










(PRWEB) December 05, 2011

As the region’s largest provider of reproductive health care, non-profit Planned Parenthood of Northeast Ohio (PPNEO) echoes the results of a new survey conducted by the Guttmacher Institute confirming the benefits of oral contraceptive pills (OCPs, birth control pills) beyond preventing pregnancy. The new report “Beyond Birth Control,” used data from the federal National Survey of Family Growth to show how women use OCPs to control and manage a wide range of health problems in addition to preventing pregnancy. In fact, 1.5 million women take OCPs solely for non-contraceptive reasons.

The study revealed that after pregnancy prevention (86%), the most common reasons women use the pill include reducing cramps or menstrual pain (31%); menstrual regulation, which for some women may help prevent migraines and other painful “side effects” of menstruation (28%); treatment of acne (14%); and treatment of endometriosis (4%). Additionally, it found that some 762,000 women who have never had sex use the pill, and they do so almost exclusively (99%) for non-contraceptive reasons.

“We know that oral contraceptives are essential health care. This study reinforces that there are other important health reasons why they should be readily available to the millions of women who rely on them each year,” said PPNEO CEO Tara Broderick.

These expanded uses for oral contraceptive pills are mirrored by Americans’ support for insurance coverage of them. According to a recent Thomson Reuters-NPR Health poll, 77 percent of Americans believe that private medical insurance should provide no-cost birth control and 74 percent believe that government-sponsored plans should do the same.

In addition, to oral contraceptive pills, PPNEO offers clients the following birth control methods: birth control implant (Implanon), birth control patch (Ortho Evra), birth control shot, birth control vaginal ring (NuvaRing), cervical cap (FemCap), diaphragm, condom, fertility awareness method and IUD (Mirena and ParaGard).

More than 90 percent of the services PPNEO provides at its 13 health centers are preventive, reproductive health care services. These include life-saving cancer screenings, annual exams to breast exams, as well as: Cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment,     Emergency contraception (EC, morning after pill), Essure non-surgical permanent contraception,    HIV testing (confidential and anonymous) and counseling, HPV vaccination, Male health services, Midlife services, Pregnancy testing and options information, abortion services – first-trimester, medication or surgical, Referrals for other specialized medical care, Sexually transmitted infection (STI/STD) testing and treatment and Urinary tract and vaginal infection diagnosis and treatment.

PPNEO (ppneo.org) provides essential reproductive health care, family planning services and sexuality education to 72,000 women and men at 13 health centers in 21 counties throughout Northeast Ohio. PPNEO strengthens individuals, families and communities by promoting healthy and responsible decision making about parenthood, relationships and sexual health.

Employee Demand for Adult Backup Care Leaps Over 200 Percent, Reports LifeCare

November 15, 2011 - 8:17 am No Comments

Employee Demand for Adult Backup Care Leaps Over 200 Percent, Reports LifeCare










Shelton, CT (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

LifeCare, Inc. reports that requests for adult backup care increased 218 percent between the first quarter of 2010 and the same period in 2011—easily outpacing the acceleration rate of backup child care.

Backup care is temporary care provided when regular care arrangements are disrupted or care needs change suddenly.  Though backup care has largely been considered a child care issue—clearly, employers must now also consider the needs of the growing number of employees in the workplace who care for older loved ones.

Employers should be acutely aware of this growing trend, according to LifeCare, the leading provider of productivity and loyalty solutions, because adult care issues can contribute to unwanted absenteeism, employee stress and lost productivity—a costly proposition for today’s companies. Even the best caregiving arrangements will inevitably break down on occasion, causing caregivers in the workplace to find reliable adult care at the last minute or miss work altogether.

Companies such as LifeCare offer employer-subsidized programs that arrange for temporary caregivers to provide care—and employees only pay a small co-pay typically of $ 10 per day. While this is a great solution for temporary care, it also indicates that employees who are caregivers need to proactively plan for the future.

“A backup care request for an older adult is usually an early warning sign of a more critical issue coming down the road, one that will require a long-term care solution either from in-home caregivers or from a licensed caregiving facility,” said Peter G. Burki, chief executive officer of LifeCare, Inc. “We’re projecting that these steep inclines in adult care requests will only continue as more and more baby boomers are faced with the care of older loved ones. When members contact us about adult care issues, our specialists educate members to think not just about immediate care needs, but also about the future care of their loved ones.”

“People are often in denial about the fact that their parents are getting older and unable to take care of themselves,” explains Peggy Altherr, senior vice president of business development and backup care. “It’s difficult for them to think about putting them in a long-term care facility and too often caregivers wait until something drastic happens when they are then  forced to make a significant caregiving decision under extreme pressure. Unfortunately when that occurs, both employees and employers feel the impact.”

Burki urges employers to use an integrated approach to care—by offering work-life services combined with a comprehensive employer-subsidized backup care program. In this way, members can seamlessly get help for emergency needs while arranging support for longer term caregiving situations—as well as related issues such as financial, health and legal issues. 

“Employers who proactively support their employees with adult care issues will benefit from decreased absenteeism, increased productivity and improved employer loyalty,” states Burki. “When employees receive help with their most important life needs, such as caring for children and older parents, everyone wins.”

LifeCare®, Inc. is the global leader in personal productivity and loyalty solutions, serving nearly 3,000 public and private sector employers and over 33 million members worldwide.

Harvard Health Publications Launches New Consumer Website

March 9, 2011 - 10:04 am No Comments



Boston, MA (Vocus) January 15, 2009

Harvard Health Publications, a publishing division of Harvard Medical School, announces the launch of its redesigned and enhanced website to serve the needs of health-conscious consumers in search of trusted health care information. The new health.harvard.edu offers easy accessibility to the most current practical, authoritative health information, drawing on the expertise of the 8,000 faculty physicians at the Harvard Medical School and its world-famous affiliated hospitals.

“When I became a doctor,” said Dr. Anthony Komaroff, Editor in Chief and a 35-year Harvard veteran, ”most patients wanted the doc to tell them what do. They didn’t ask ‘What are my options?’ Today, there’s an appetite for information and a desire to be partners with the doctor in decision making. That’s why it’s important that patients get their health information from credible, trusted sources.”

“Our mission at Harvard Health Publications is to offer the consumers access to information that will help them make better health choices. Whether someone is suffering from a serious illness, has a chronic health condition, or just wants to know the best ways to stay healthy, we publish health newsletters, special health reports, books, and online health information that helps them find the answers they need,” said Komaroff.

The new website offers the latest health news from Harvard Medical School, and excerpts from its monthly health newsletters:

Harvard Health Letter
Harvard Heart Letter
Harvard Women’s Health Watch
Harvard Men’s Health Watch
Harvard Mental Health Letter
Perspectives on Prostate Disease (quarterly)

The Harvard Health Publications website features a number of health resources including a health dictionary which is searchable by medical condition and a guide to diagnostic tests, as well as other resources. The website also offers a free weekly health email newsletter, HEALTHbeat, and an archive of back issues. In addition, visitors can read excerpts from approximately 50 titles of Harvard’s Special Health Report series, which cover a wide range of disease conditions and health and wellness issues including:

Alzheimer’s Disease
Healthy Eating
High Cholesterol
Weight Loss
Improving Memory
The new website also allows Harvard Health Publications subscribers and customers to keep their Harvard health newsletters and special health reports a mouse click away in their personal medical libraries and offers all products both electronically and in print.

health.harvard.edu features additional health resources, diagnostic tools, and customer reviews of products.
