As we practice physical distancing, strengthening social ties can bolster our mental health
OTTAWA, April 9, 2020 /CNW/ - Today, the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) is releasing a collection of deliberate actions we can take to hold social isolation at bay. Developed in collaboration with psychologist and professor at the University of Calgary, Dr. Keith Dobson, these how-tos are intended to help make physical distancing more bearable through intentional social connection.
The upcoming holiday weekend is going to challenge all of us to make important concessions – even sacrifices – in the name of the greater good. Many of us are used to gathering over Easter or Passover with family and friends. For some, this weekend will mean missed visits with loved ones we seldom see. For others, essential work will require time away from family. For those of us working at home, a three or four day weekend may entail a significant drop in our daily interactions.
But whatever our individual circumstances, as we call on each other to practise physical distancing, it's never been more important to invest the time and energy to nurture our social ties.
CORA Physical Therapy Launches New Online Marketplace and MOVEMENT IMPROVEMENT: Live Video Activities for Audiences Nationwide
Lima, Ohio – CORA Health Services, Inc. (“CORA Physical Therapy”), a top 10 national operator of outpatient physical therapy services, today has announced the launch of two patient-centered initiatives to help individuals confined to their homes stay healthy and active during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Therapy Essentials, CORA’s new online marketplace, gives patients direct access to the supplies and equipment they need to continue therapy at home while being ordered to stay in their homes. CORA’s platform offers affordable therapy products that promise to create a more professional experience at home. The new storefront features items that will enhance exercise performance, increase a therapists’ ability to provide more focused instruction and promote the positive progression of home therapy programs for patients in a clinic, virtual or home health setting.
“Our top priority with the launch of Therapy Essentials is guided by our commitment, in this digital age, to provide our communities with new and forward-thinking ways to deliver necessary rehabilitation products while patients are self-isolated,” said Robb Seahorn, PT, CSCS, Director of Academic Partnerships and member of CORA’s Clinical Services Team. “We have worked tirelessly to find a quality, cost-effective solution that we feel brings immense and immediate value to vulnerable patient populations. These products represent a long-term investment in the healthcare needs of each individual which we feel is critically important at a time when brick-and-mortar store shelves are limited in some of these same supplies.”
Products in CORA’s marketplace are not disposable items, but rather solutions that patients can use long after discharge from active treatment. Items are competitively priced, readily available, and delivered right to patients’ doorstep. Featured products currently available for purchase include: ADL devices, exercise equipment, hand therapy, hot/cold therapy treatments, manual therapy products, pediatric therapy, stretching and patient kits (all-inclusive kits for specific treatment plans).
CORA PODCAST (link): Shop Therapy Essentials with Robb Seahorn, CORA's new patient-centered online marketplace. He provides detailed explanations and valuable insights on the importance of accessibility while many patients are forced into self-isolation.
In conjunction with the launch of Therapy Essentials, CORA has expanded access for patients to connect direct with expert clinicians. MOVEMENT IMPROVEMENT, a separate initiative, is a new series that features live activity sessions created to keep people moving and engaged while isolated. Each activity, led by physical therapists, athletic trainers and physical therapy assistants, seeks to provide instructional tips, stretches and coaching on how to stay fit and flexible to relieve pain, loosen stiff muscles and joints and improve overall range of motion. Workouts are designed to support other forms of exercise that people are already doing on their own or through virtual sessions with gyms, health clubs and other fitness organizations so that audiences can achieve maximum efficiency during those workouts. For those with physical limitations or restricted range of motion, CORA instructors are prepared with adaptations and modifications for all ages and abilities.
“CORA’s clinicians have jumped at the opportunity to participate in the rollout of our new MOVEMENT IMPROVEMENT series,” said Sally Darlin, CORA Senior Vice President of Operations and Home Therapy in Florida. “It gives them a virtual platform to stay active and connect with communities in a meaningful way to do what they do best—coach and demonstrate proper techniques in a way that positively impacts those suffering from acute or chronic pain and helps those individuals dealing with physical limitations from injury, surgery, or simply from aging.”
MOVEMENT IMPROVEMENT airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Noon EDT. Sessions will focus on functional movements and activities to relieve pain while encouraging audiences to get up and get active with short breaks from their makeshift workstations. Dates and topics are subject to change and will continue to be added for the month of May and beyond. For those unable to attend the live activity session, the classes will be posted on CORA Physical Therapy’s Facebook Page and on the website at www.coraphysicaltherapy.com.

New App Allows Medical Providers to Prevent Spread of Coronavirus in Waiting RoomsDocClocker, an app created by physicians for physicians, enables medical facilities to provide patients with real-time wait time reporting to decrease sick patient exposure.Tampa, Fla. – DocClocker®, a pioneering app that enables medical facilities for the first time to provide patients with real-time wait time reporting, is preventing the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) nationwide by enabling patients to avoid long waits in medical waiting rooms – limiting exposure risks. Many healthcare clinics' and hospitals' waiting rooms have been crowded in recent weeks, thanks to the rapid global outbreak of coronavirus. With the DocClocker app, which was created and funded entirely by practicing medical physicians, medical providers can support their patients by providing real-time wait times; preventing the spread of the highly contagious virus by limiting the exposure of sick patients in waiting rooms. “It is important that people are not sitting in sick waiting rooms during the coronavirus outbreak when there are delays in the office. DocClocker providers value their patients' time and are engaged in technology efficiencies that mitigate long wait times," said Dr. Eric Carter, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of DocClocker. DocClocker is on a mission to create transparency in the waiting room and enhance communication between medical providers and their patients. The DocClocker app easily allows for medical providers to deliver patients with waiting room wait times to increase patient satisfaction and positive reviews – allowing patients to stop for coffee on their way to an appointment or finish a work project, in case the office is running behind. In addition, providers who use DocClocker receive an increase in new patient bookings, as they can be located and selected on the app by prospective, in-network patients. The app can also reduce front desk stress by allowing patients to manage appointments through the app and receive appointment reminders. “As governments and communities around the globe are doing everything in their power to prevent the spread of coronavirus, it is our obligation as medical providers to do the same for the safety of our patients. By providing real-time wait times to your patients with DocClocker, you are demonstrating your commitment and true care for their wellbeing,” said Dr. Kevin Makati, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of DocClocker.

MCI Medical Clinics Deploys its Vast Resources into Virtual Healthcare
TORONTO, April 9, 2020 /CNW/ - MCI Medical Clinics Inc. (the "Company" or "MCI"), one of Canada's largest private primary healthcare providers serving patients in Alberta and Ontario, is pleased to provide the following corporate update on its endeavors to provide the best healthcare services given the current environment marked with the COVID-19 pandemic.
MCI is rapidly ramping up capacity to provide additional virtual healthcare services via telephone and video chat due to the increase demand for health services generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Contrary to many virtual care services, which charge patients out-of-pocket for their services, MCI's virtual services are 100% OHIP-insured in Ontario, and AHCIP-insured in Alberta. This means patients will not need to pay out-of-pocket to see a doctor. Due to public health warnings to stay at home stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, patients can now seek the care they need without needlessly risking exposure. MCI has mobilized its roster of walk-in, family practice and specialist physicians, to care for patients anywhere in Ontario and Alberta- from Toronto and Calgary to Moosonee and Fort McMurray.
"Canadians have always been able to rely on MCI for fast, effective and thorough care," said Maddie Walker, President and COO of MCI. "We have offered virtual care as an option for years, but due to the current climate it has become clear that we need to do our part to ramp up this initiative, helping our patients to stay home where possible in this unusual time." Mrs. Walker added, "We are proud of our doctors and nurses who stand on the front lines facing this pandemic, and MCI will be doing all it can to support them."
While MCI is fully prepared to care for patients via virtual care, most of the company's 25 physical locations remain open. As frontline healthcare professionals, MCI's doctors and nurses continue to fight for Canadians in person as well as virtually. While many health issues can be resolved via virtual consult, patients who require hands-on care can avoid the hospital ER room by visiting one of MCI's vigilantly sanitized private clinics. MCI is prepared to care for all patients, whether they believe that they have symptoms of COVID-19, or whether they need to seek care for the myriad of health issues that still exist despite the pandemic.
MCI is a Canadian institution that has been serving patients for over 30 years. Every year, over 200 of MCI's walk-in, family practice, and specialist physicians care for nearly 2.4 million Canadians. MCI's services include onsite Occupational Health for corporations, physiotherapy and tele-rehabilitation. These services are complemented by a robust network of healthcare affiliates ranging from dental services to travel medicine.
Overcome the Elevation: 4 Tips to Help You Beat Altitude Sickness
Even though altitude sickness usually isn’t a life-threatening problem, the symptoms can make everyday activities practically unbearable. If you plan on being at a high altitude in the near future, then you might want to come up with a plan for battling altitude sickness so that you can continue to function normally.
Acclimate Slowly
One of the most effective ways to avoid altitude sickness entirely is to acclimate as slowly as possible. Those who plan on engaging in physically strenuous activities at a high altitude should try to arrive a few days early. While every person is slightly different, the average individual is going to almost fully acclimate to a high altitude within one to three days. After a few days, your body should begin producing plenty of additional red blood cells.
Boost Your Carbohydrate Intake
As your body acclimates to the new altitude, it is going to burn an incredible amount of calories. If you traditionally follow a low-carbohydrate diet, then you might want to make some temporary changes. Eating plenty of carbohydrates throughout the day should minimize the symptoms of your altitude sickness and provide you with plenty of energy.
Try Canned Oxygen
Another tactic that could help you relieve some of the symptoms of altitude sickness is using a pure canned oxygen supplement. Those cans will provide you with a quick dose of concentrated oxygen, and that can mitigate the symptoms almost immediately. Canned oxygen is going to be especially beneficial if you don’t have time to acclimate to the new altitude. You should also consider packing a few of those cans in your backpack or gear bag if you plan on hiking or camping.
Stay Hydrated
One of the most common mistakes that people make when dealing with altitude sickness is not drinking enough water. Because of your nausea, keeping anything in your stomach could be very difficult, but you must make sure that you are drinking plenty of water. That being said, drinking too much water can be dangerous as well, and that is why you should keep a close eye on the color of your urine. Urine that is relatively clear usually means that you are adequately hydrated.If you have tried these few problems and are still struggling with altitude sickness, then you might need to see a medical professional. Chronic altitude sickness can be caused by serious underlying healt

Kingsdown Group Converted Three of its Plants into a Manufacturer of Hospital Beds to Assist During COVID-19 Pandemic
MEBANE, NC, SHAWINIGAN, QC and TORONTO, April 9, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Luxury bedding brand Kingsdown (producing also in Québec under the brand Zedbed) is shifting its regular mattress production capabilities to manufacture beds for use in health care facilities, temporary health care outposts and treatment facilities to assist during the COVID-19 pandemic. The changeover has been completed to produce hospital beds in three of the company's factories located in Mebane, North Carolina, USA, Toronto, Ontario and Shawinigan, Quebec in Canada. We estimate that 40% of our workers at the plants would be able to keep their jobs as we launch this new production.
"In only 5 days, we managed to implement a secure local supply chain capable of supplying the American and Canadian governments with a new hospital bed concept," says David Gelinas, V.P. Zedbed, div. of Kingsdown. "Kingsdown has been manufacturing mattresses in North America for over 100 years and our products are sold around the world. We want to do our part to help with this global crisis and have set up our factories to manufacture hospital and emergency-care grade beds," said Frank Hood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kingsdown. "We're reaching out to the hospital systems throughout North America to assess their needs to ensure we can meet them during this public health crisis. We are able to deliver mattresses or beds anywhere they may be needed in North America and stand ready to do our part to help," says Mike James, Chairman of the Board of Kingsdown.
Kingsdown has expanded its capabilities to help meet current demand for treatment and recovery beds. Changes include expedited production of its Care Xpress™ program, which includes medical-grade mattresses and specialized motion bed frames. The new program includes the Medical Vinyl Xpress™ Mattress, which is available in three profile heights, and the Motion Care Xpress™ adjustable base. The mattress features a poly core covered in a medical vinyl that is flame resistant and features anti-fungal properties. The motorized adjustable bed base features side rails and is crafted of melamine and steel and accommodates a variety of positions for optimum comfort. In addition to the adjustability of the bed, the base features telescoping legs for three different height positions – 9, 11 and 13 inches.
The Kingsdown Group is committed to providing mattresses and beds that will meet safety and healthcare standards and will function with the adjustable beds in medical centers. We are ready to work with our suppliers and partners to accommodate custom needs as they arise.
"For a company whose core values are comfort, support and well-being, it's a natural move for us to help out any way we can," Hood added.
Kingsdown Group, formed by the combination of Kingdown Inc. founded in 1904 in Mebane, North Carolina, Owen and Company (Kingsdown Canada) from Toronto and Zedbed inc. based in Shawinigan, is a manufacturer of premium mattress systems serving leading retailers globally.

As smaller hospitals get overwhelmed with covid-10 patients in need of ventilators, there is an easy way to modify commonly found bi-level positive air pressure (BIPAP) machines to act as ventilators.
Dr. Keith Robinson is available to explain how Syneos Health is providing free training materials for health professionals to learn how to convert BiPAP machines into ventilators. The critical shortage of ventilators is causing physicians to make difficult decision about which patients will receive ventilator treatment. BiPAP machines are in ready supply in most hospitals and to save as many lives as possible during this pandemic, the FDA has stated that it will not object to modifications such as the use of a BiPAP machine as a ventilator, and the American Hospital Association is supporting the training. Dr. Robinson can demonstrate how commonly used bi-level positive air pressure (BiPAP) machines can act as ventilators in some COVID-19 patients with simple changes of BiPAP settings, including the use of intubation instead of a regular oxygen mask. He’s currently working in the ICU at a hospital in Florida and is also training teams there on using the BIPAP machines as ventilators. A free website has been set up for medical professionals to learn how to adapt their existing BiPAP machines to bridge the gap until more mechanical ventilators come on the market: www.COVID-BiPAPinfo.com and you can use the b-roll in the video for your story.
About Dr. Keith Robinson — Keith Robinson is Medical Director with the Medical Management & Scientific Services group of Syneos Health. Keith is a board certified Pulmonary Medicine and Critical Care Medicine physician with over 14 years of clinical experience. Before Syneos, Keith worked as an Intensivist and Pulmonary Medicine Consultant with Pulmonary Physicians of South Florida, LLC, serving as Medical Director of Fusion Health Pulmonary Rehabilitation & Wellness for 7 years. His professional activities include 10 years of clinical research, as a principle investigator, in pneumonia, asthma, COPD, and pulmonary hypertension trials. In addition, Keith has spent 10 years as a consultant and advisor to Astra Zeneca, Mylan, Theravance, Sunovion, Actelion, and CAIRE Industries.
Cannabis in the Wake of COVID-19: Eight Industry Trends From Sustainable Cultivator Autumn Brands
Amid drastically shifting business landscape, Autumn Brands shares what to expect from an industry poised for progress
LOS ANGELES, California – (April 9th, 2020): In many ways, 2020 is the year of cannabis, and 50% woman-owned Autumn Brands is at the forefront of a rising ethical and sustainable growth movement. Backed by decades of hard-won sustainable farming expertise, Autumn Brands stands out as a sixth-generation, multi-family-run operation with a meticulous cultivation approach that ensures a high quality, pesticide-free product from start to finish. Now, in the midst of COVID-19 and a drastically shifting business landscape as Cannabis has been deemed ‘Essential’ across multiple states and local municipalities, the holistically-focused brand dives into eight major industry trends to watch.
Diminishing Stigma: Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon and Washington have all formally announced Cannabis businesses are ‘Essential’ during this pandemic. People are developing new habits and behaviors that will permanently shape how they do things moving forward. They are rethinking their jobs, their families health and wellness regimes, and how they get through a crisis. Cannabis is at the forefront of that conversation and behavior shift. As shared knowledge about cannabis grows - along with its customer base - the general public is warming up to this once-feared and misunderstood plant. Consumers who once balked at the idea of smoking marijuana, associating it with all sorts of negative connotations, are better grasping its benefits. Meanwhile, celebrity personalities like Top Chef’s Joe Sasto are introducing inventive, community-focused ways of safely introducing marijuana to various segments of the population.
Legislature: The most important bills to get passed right now are those that involve the health and wellness of humanity and provide stimulus to the economy. Cannabis is an Essential business and therefore should be able to operate in the safest and healthiest manner. Now is the time for the legislature to pass the Safe Banking Act in order to provide commercial lending and eliminate the need for cash transactions. Most Cannabis businesses and consumers are still required to pay in cash, which can carry unsuspecting germs posing a health risk to patients, consumers and operators. This also forces consumers to go to an ATM/Bank to get cash prior to making a trip to the dispensary. The federal government has a responsibility to make Cannabis legal and overturn Tax Code 280E. The IRS needs all the tax dollars they can get in order to stimulate the economy and while 280E brings in an excess of taxes hindering a small amount of businesses, it could bring in greater tax revenue as a whole if more cannabis businesses were able to operate throughout the United States.
Pay it Forward: During this pandemic, Essential Businesses have the opportunity to continue operating under strict new operating procedures. So its important that the employees and non-essential businesses are taken care of. Autumn Brands is part of a group of local Cannabis Farmers called CARP Growers that is doing just that. The different farms are rotating purchasing lunches twice per week for all their employees from the local restaurants ensuring these community businesses can also keep the lights on, while taking care of the hard-working employees at the same time. They are also part of a fund called 93013fund.org that provides meals to the food bank and other community members in need.
Research: We will likely see new research into unknown cannabinoid effects and how, together with terpenes, this plant can help so many more people. Right now, we only have an understanding of a few of more than 100 cannabinoids. Although 33 states legalized marijuana in some form, the amount of beneficial knowledge available is minimal at best, due to its federally illegal status. However, we are already starting to see more Congressional Bills and research labs taking time to dive deeper into understanding Cannabis and its benefits.
Social Injustice: As education around cannabis grows during this pandemic and more states legalize, the demand will increase to free those incarcerated for marijuana-related offenses. More states will likely implement programs allowing for their release and record clearing, particularly as more opportunities develop to make an honest living in the cannabis industry.
Cannabis Topicals: We will see a large increase in topical product development and sales this year. Athletes, baby boomers, and general consumers are starting to understand and appreciate the benefits of topicals (such as lotions and balms) made with THC. These products can significantly reduce inflammation, provide pain relief, and heal skin ailments without producing a high.
Sustainable and Ethical Grow Techniques: 2020 is the year of health. Consumers want to know where products are sourced, and sustainable growing practices are ranking high on their list of criteria for choosing what goes into their bodies. Cannabis absorbs everything in its environment, making it essential to ensure a clean, pesticide-free approach, and ethical growers like Autumn Brands are leading the industry in this regard.
Virtual Technology: As more states legalize the use of marijuana in some form, technology will likely play a large role in dispensaries’ interaction with consumers. Apps like Weedmaps, Kushy, and Budly are popping up in major cities to seamlessly connect consumers with product. Online ordering for curbside pick-up is also becoming increasingly popular, particularly in the wake of COVID-19 and social distancing measures.
Discover Autumn Brands’ top-notch collection of sustainably sourced, farm-to-consumer flower, pre-rolls, and pre-filled cartridges at select California dispensaries and online at www.AutumnBrands.com. Follow on Instagram @AutumnBrands for the latest product releases and updates.
