Cannanda CB2® Dog-Ease Hemp Oil Achieves #1 Best-Seller Status on Amazon, Revolutionizing the Pet Wellness Industry

TORONTO, ON, CANADA, January 20:The pet wellness industry is being revolutionized with the recent achievement of Cannanda CB2 Dog-Ease as the #1 best-seller on Amazon, solidifying its position as the go-to solution for pet owners looking for safe and effective relief for their furry friends. "We are thrilled to see CB2 Dog-Ease achieve such a high level of success on Amazon," said Dr. Lee Know, Co-Founder and CEO of Cannanda. "This is a testament to the effectiveness of our CB2 oil and the dedication of our team to providing the best possible solutions for pet wellness." CB2 Dog-Ease is a specially formulated nutritional oil making it the top choice for pet owners seeking a natural alternative to synthetic medications that may have unwanted side effects. This all-natural product also recently gained Veterinary Health Product status from Health Canada with approved claims related to: 1. joint health 2. stress 3. immune system, and 4. general health Made with all-natural terpene ingredients and raw, organic, Canadian-grown hemp seed oil, it is safe and effective for dogs of all ages and breeds. It is also lab-tested to ensure the highest quality and purity, and ensure it’s free from yeast, mold, solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, and allergens. Cannanda's commitment to using only the finest natural ingredients in its products has earned it a reputation as a trusted and reliable brand in the rapidly growing natural pet health market. The breakthrough success of CB2 Dog-Ease is a reflection of the growing awareness among pet owners of the benefits of CB2 oil for pets, and the potential dangers CBD (cannabidiol) for dogs. While CBD offers similar benefits to CB2 oil, CBD is often contaminated with undisclosed THC, which is toxic for dogs, and CBD itself has many known adverse drug interactions making it unsuitable for dogs taking medications. The company's mission is to improve the quality of life for pets—and humans—by providing safe, effective, and affordable natural health solutions and their products are available for purchase on Amazon, Cannanda's own website cannanda.com, or at one of several hundred brick and mortar retailers across Canada.

CEO Sven Patzer Takes Pledge to Support LGBTQ+ Equality after Coming Out

BOULDER, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, January 20: Sven Patzer, a star CEO and human rights advocate, recently took the NEA Ed Justice Pledge to Support LGBTQ+ Equality and joined the National Education Association. After taking the pledge, Sven Patzer revealed how he became bisexual. His story has created quite a stir in both the business and LGBTQ+ communities, so we took some time to speak with him about his experience. Here is his explanation of how he was hypnotized and why it was ultimately a good thing. How It Happened Patzer explained that while attending a conference in Denver, he met a practitioner of hypnosis who offered to hypnotize him as an experiment. Though hesitant at first, Patzer agreed to be part of the experiment, which involved being hypnotized into believing that he was bisexual. After the session was over, Patzer said that he felt “confused” but also “free.” He had known since childhood that he was attracted to both men and women but had never fully embraced or accepted his sexuality; this experience allowed him to do just that. The Benefits Of Being Bisexual Patzer also pointed out the numerous benefits of being bisexual—from having dual options for romantic relationships to having access to cultural experiences from both genders—and how embracing his sexuality has ultimately made him happier and more fulfilled than ever before. He noted that it has given him “a greater appreciation for the complexities of human relationships” and provided him with “an entirely new perspective” on life in general. The Power Of Transitioning Finally, Patzer stressed the importance of transitioning into one's true self—whether through hypnosis or another method—and encouraged anyone considering such a transition not to be afraid to take the plunge. He asserted that transitioning can be an incredibly powerful experience, one which can open up new possibilities and lead to greater happiness in all areas of life. How He’s Helping Sven has taken an active role in advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. What really sets him apart is his commitment to using technology and social media platforms as powerful tools for change. He believes that "by engaging with the wider public through various campaigns on Instagram, Twitter and other platforms—not only can we spread awareness but also inspire action from people all over the world". Sven Patzer is more than just an entrepreneur—he’s a champion for social justice who is truly making a difference in this world. His commitment to helping those who are often marginalized within our society serves as an inspiration to us all that true progress is possible when we work together towards a common goal of acceptance and understanding for everyone All in all, Sven Patzer's story serves as a reminder of the power of embracing one's true self—regardless of gender or sexual orientation—and living openly and authentically. By doing so, one can experience newfound freedom and joy unlike anything else imaginable — something which Patzer himself can attest to from firsthand experience. As such, it is clear that hypnosis played an instrumental role in allowing this man to become his truest self — something we all should strive for regardless of who we are or what our circumstances may be.

Rising Star McCullough Named Head Football Coach

ODESSA, TEXAS, UNITED STATES, January 20: One of the young rising stars in the world of Division II football is now set to become the second head coach in UT Permian Basin Football history. On Thursday, December 22 Vice President for Athletics Todd Dooley announced that Kris McCullough will take over the Falcons after a season as head coach at East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma. McCullough led the Tigers to a 9-3 record in the difficult Great American Conference that culminated in a victory over Texas A&M – Kingsville in the Fun Town RV Heritage Bowl. Three players would go on to earn All-Super Region Three honors while 16 were named to the All-GAC Team. Linebacker Devon Roush was named GAC Defensive Player of the Year on a defense that forced 28 turnovers and led the nation in turnover differential. "What Kris has done in a short amount of time in charge of a football program is quite remarkable," said Dooley. "Throughout the entire search process Kris' charisma and vision stood out in a very competitive group of candidates. He checks all the boxes in what we are looking for in our pursuit of comprehensive excellence." For his efforts in 2022, McCullough was named to the American Football Coaches Association 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute, recognizing him as one of the best young coaches in the game of football. He was the only Division II coach selected to the list that included coaches from Michigan, Texas, Auburn, Tennessee, and the NFL's Seattle Seahawks among others. He started at East Central in 2018 as the team's Special Team Coordinator and Quarterbacks coach before getting promoted to Offensive Coordinator in 2020 and Assistant Head Coach in 2021. His first two seasons in Ada saw the team go 3-8 before his promotion. Since then the Tigers went 19-7, including an upset of former Lone Star Conference rival and now Division I school Tarleton State. "First, I'd like to thank everyone at East Central," said McCullough. "I enjoyed every second spent in Ada and at East Central and want to thank them for believing in me and giving me a chance to be a head coach. We made history at that school in many ways, and no one can take that away from the student-athletes and coaches. I'm so excited for this opportunity! My wife Hannah and I can't wait to arrive in the Permian Basin to get started and meet all the great folks in West Texas as we level up UTPB Football. Falcons Up!" Prior to his success in Ada, McCullough was the Running Backs Coach and Assistant Special Teams Coordinator at Fairmont State from 2017-18. There he helped develop Terrell Charles, who finished top-10 in Fairmont State history in rushing yards and touchdowns. In the spring and summer of 2017 he was the Offensive Quality Control Analyst and Assistant Quarterbacks Coach at Old Dominion. McCullough got his start in coaching at his alma mater, Henderson State, as a student assistant working all over the offensive side for three seasons. In 2015 he helped Henderson State win their first NCAA Division II Playoff game after winning the GAC. Download the UTPB Athletics App to follow the team all season long.

Richest Shallow Ore Gold Mine in South Africa Decides to Digitize Much of its In-Ground Gold

LEHI, UTAH, USA, January 20: Element Blockchain partners with the Protea Gold Project, the richest shallow ore deposit in South Africa, to digitize up to $3.5B in assayed precious elements. The agreement is another digitization partnership for blockchain mining leader Element United, as they seek to use blockchain technology to bring transparency and sustainability to the mining industry. This, Element’s 5th mine partnership, brings their portfolio of assayed precious elements available for digitization to over $500B. About The Protea Gold Project: The Protea Gold Project is a redevelopment of one of the oldest, most historic mining claims in South Africa - a deposit originally discovered in 1872, and long a part of the fabric of mining history in South Africa. With many historical mines there is often gold left behind in tailings and ore processed previously through less-advanced methods. Extracting this gold in a way that is both efficient and environmentally sustainable is one of the key focuses of the Protea Gold Project, in addition to sustainably mining parts of the tons of assayed ore that has yet to be mined. Their partnership with Element will foster greater environmental stewardship of the Protea Gold Project, as well as provide a digitization opportunity for the assayed precious elements that can’t be sustainably mined. “We look at digital mining as a way to make physical mining both profitable and sustainable,” says mine-owner Salven Chetty. “We believe the digital value of the ore in the ground for parts of our mine can exceed the opportunity cost of mining it, especially when you consider the benefits to the environment and our community. We’re extremely excited to partner with Element United and participate in the Element Digital Economy.” “We’re bringing mining to the metaverse,” says Element co-founder David Kasteler. “There is enormous demand for digital products that represent actual assayed precious elements. The best part about fulfilling that demand for the futurist consumer is that by doing so we also protect the environment and local communities.” About Element United: With other tech innovators, Scott Lomu and David Kasteler co-founded Element United in 2021. One of the company’s goals is to reduce the environmental toll of mining by creating products such as NFTs, nodes, tokens, and digital communities that live on the blockchain. Element United partners with mines and plans to convert their physical assets and precious metals into digital products to be built on the Ethereum Blockchain. These digital products interact with the un-mined precious elements of each mine in a way that will be collectible and rewarding, while leaving the elements in the ground and the natural environment untouched. “What we are creating here is a way to mine gold and precious elements without actually digging them out of the ground,” Kasteler said. “It brings an eco-conscious mindset to mining and uses blockchain instead of heavy machinery. We believe that the blockchain economy we will build on top of a mine can become more beneficial than actual mining.” “That’s the beauty of it — the elements stay in the ground,” Lomu said. “It’s a boon for everyone involved: digital miners, local communities, and of course, our environment.” For more information about Element United Leadership or upcoming digital releases please visit elementunited.com

3 Mile Storage Management Saves $4K Per Month in Payroll with Remote Manager

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, January 20: OpenTech Alliance, the PropTech leader in self storage, has expanded its partnership with 3 Mile Storage Management to help the company save an average of $4,000 per month in payroll costs with Remote Manager. In July 2022, after trying for over a year to manage customer calls internally, 3 Mile transitioned all managed sites to Remote Manager to save on customer service costs, improve the tenant experience and free internal staff to focus on other revenue-driving activities. “I’m saving about four grand a month on payroll on average,” said Jim Ross, Owner of 3 Mile Storage Management. “We’re doing just as well, if not better, because now we’re answering the phone seven days a week, pretty much 12 hours a day on average – so we’re getting more rentals. And I’d argue that we provide even better customer service than we were before.” Remote Manager, a service of the INSOMNIAC® Live! Call Center, is a remote facility management solution that can support nearly all customer service elements of a self storage operation — at a fraction of typical payroll costs. A dedicated team of professional Remote Managers oversee multiple properties in a single portfolio and can manage move-ins, move-outs, collections and the auction process, customer inquiries, property appointments and more. These time-consuming yet revenue-driving tasks are critical to any self storage operation. Jim Ross, owner of 3 Mile Storage Management, has been in self storage more than half his life. Ross started out as a regional manager in his early 20s, overseeing daily operations for several facilities across the US before branching into property management seven years ago. Well-known author of 3 Mile Domination book, newsletter and other industry-dedicated publications and podcasts, Ross has always had a passion to share his operations and marketing experience to help others in the industry gain a leg up on the competition. He’s built his operating model on a commitment to constant, never-ending improvement (1% each day) — a goal Remote Manager has helped him achieve by a much larger margin. “For remote management as a whole, calls are the cornerstone of success,” said Ross. “If you don’t have people to answer the calls in place and actually doing a great job, everything else after that kind of falls apart. So that was a critical aspect when I transitioned over to this model.” Ross felt compelled to pursue remote staffing solutions during the height of the pandemic to ensure his facilities could remain operational. Like many, he quickly uncovered new challenges. “I started doing my own internal call center, with managers taking calls,” said Ross. “I created a job in and of itself just running a call center, and that wasn’t what I signed up for. My time is better spent elsewhere, and after a while I sat there and said, ‘there’s gotta be a better way.’ That’s where OpenTech came into the picture.” Before transitioning the self storage facilities in his portfolio to Remote Manager, Ross wanted to ensure the team, and service, would be a good fit for his operation. He reviewed service rates, historical call performance and call recordings to gauge quality. “Obviously, the first two main criteria are you answer the phone and provide great sales presentations,” said Ross. “You have a small team and that’s their sole focus. When it comes down to reps, I remember being a manager — sitting behind a desk, you’re lucky to get three sales presentations in a day. You just don’t get lots of opportunities to hone your skills with only a few sales calls a day. Remote Managers, that’s what they do day in and day out — it makes their presentations so much better, and you can hear it on the phone.” Ross, who spent months researching solutions before pulling the trigger, has two primary pieces of advice for other operators. “This is one of those things where you just have to do it and try it. This is what OpenTech does. I'm all about finding your zone of excellence. Leverage your zone of excellence. OpenTech has this process down to a fine-oiled machine, because they’ve been doing it for years. I wish I would have done it a long time ago and saved myself the headache of doing my other call center and the stress and time and energy of doing that. But I couldn't be happier.” Second, “quit framing it as a vendor. You're looking for a partner. OpenTech is more of a partner to help make the make the facility a success, not just a vendor you’re plugging in.”

Partners in the Movement: EasyTracGPS Steps Up To Offer Relief After Uplink GPS Closure

CHICAGO, IL, USA, January 20: EasyTracGPS, the global leader in white-label branded GPS tracking technology, has come to the aid of dealers left with unusable devices and irate customers in the wake of Uplink GPS’s sudden closure. It’s now offering its industry-leading “GPS Movement” distributorship program - allowing these abandoned dealers to start fresh with cutting-edge EasyTracGPS products. Uplink had built a solid reputation as a reliable source for delivering advanced GPS tracking technology; so when it announced its abrupt closure, it hit thousands of businesses hard. Companies who had relied on Uplink products were left without any support or recourse. And numerous dealers found themselves unable to fulfill orders and contract commitments - losing both time and money. To combat this unexpected disruption, EasyTracGPS is offering its GPS Movement program to help those affected by Uplink’s closure seamlessly transition into a partnership with the company. The innovative program gives dealers access to GPS tracking products that offer superior performance compared to anything previously available from Uplink or other sources - allowing them to pass on better value and service to their own customers. With powerful features at an unbeatable price point, dealers can leverage these solutions (along with the entire EasyTracGPS portfolio) to stay ahead of the competition and realize rapid growth in their businesses. Early adopters of the program also benefit from unprecedented levels of technical and customer support from EasyTracGPS’ award-winning team - something which no other white-label provider currently offers. This makes starting up under EasyTracGPS a breeze - and helps ensure success at every step along the way. For those previously reliant on Uplink, the move is a no brainer: easy onboarding, superior technology, unbeatable prices, excellent customer service, plus full access to ongoing training materials that help build strong foundations for success moving forward. Not only will these former Uplink partners benefit financially but they're also joining an ethical organization dedicated to not only creating groundbreaking technology, but also promoting responsible business practices within the industry as a whole. "We understand how difficult this situation was for our peers," says Daniel Villalobos, Director of Sales & Marketing at EasyTracGPS. "So we’ve decided to step up by giving them an opportunity to transition into this new era of mobile asset tracking." The GPS Movement is open for enrollment now and anyone affected by Uplinks closure can easily apply directly through the EasyTracGPS website. Founded on transparency and integrity - along with innovative mobile products - it won't be long before this new wave of partners joins others around the globe leveraging all that EasyTracGPS has to offer.

The year 2022 continued the trend of patents received by Eltropy (which acquired video banking leader POPi/o in May), with multiple patents granted, bringing the total number of Eltropy patents received to date to 11. "We’re very proud to receive this patent for our Video Notary technology, an area in which we have deep expertise. It’s yet another example of our commitment to innovation and excellence as the pioneer and leader in Video Banking," said Jed Taylor, Chief Product Officer at Eltropy. While branch traffic continues to decline across the industry, notary remains one of the key reasons people still visit their financial institution. Consequently, technology that simplifies and speeds up the process to get a document notarized is not only critical to today’s credit union and community bank, but it’s becoming the expectation as people increasingly prefer Video Banking to walking into a branch. “While other vendors may say they have video banking, it’s really just video chat,” Taylor said. “The key differentiator with Eltropy is we’re not just doing video chat, we’re enabling services that have historically been available only in physical branches. We replicate a branch on video including new accounts, loans, and high-dollar check deposits. With the essential nature of notary services added to the mix, Eltropy has become the unquestioned leader in Video Banking.” The new Video Notary patent is an important technology piece for Eltropy, who continues to build a complete, digital communications platform in helping its community bank and credit union customers to do more with less during the pending recession. Going forward, Eltropy plans to continue to devote considerable research and development (R&D) resources to further innovations like Video Notary. Such innovations will not only enhance the communications experience of credit unions and community banks, but will save valuable time, money and resources for individuals and families looking for anytime, anywhere access to digital financial services, personalized to their needs. About Eltropy Eltropy is the leading digital communications platform for community financial institutions (CFIs). Its AI-driven communications tools empower CFIs to communicate, automate, improve operations and engagement, and increase productivity across the institution – all while maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance. Using Eltropy's platform, CFIs can connect with their consumers anytime, anywhere via Text, Video, Secure Chat, co-browsing, screen sharing, and chatbot technology — all integrated into a single platform.

KokTailz's Sean Trotter Raising the Bar in the Online Dating Industry

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS , UNITED STATES, January 21:With all the technological advancements witnessed by humanity in the past two decades alone, it wouldn’t even cross anyone’s mind that there still might be problems that haven’t been fixed or that there is still something out there, that needs to be dealt with. However, there’s not only a multitude of unfixed issues in society, but there are also actually some very easy-to-spot gaps that no one has tried to fill yet, take loneliness for example. Despite being more connected than ever, millions around the world are spending their lives without a partner. Unlike the problem, the solution is simple. The lack of key features in the apps available in the market is the main issue identified by many. While it is true that there is a wide array of different types of dating applications in the market, so is the fact that they all harbor certain key features while missing the remaining essentials. The gaps in services provided by these apps, force users to move to the other in search of those missing features and because every other app on the market has some fundamentals while missing other critical features, the users keep jumping from one to the other, further complicating the process of finding a partner. Many people have come up with solutions to this sophisticated issue, and one person has come the closest to solving it. In October 2020, entrepreneur and owner of Water Control Plumbing, Sean Trotter came up with KokTailz LLC, an online dating and geosocial networking application that helps people find companionship based on distinct features. Headquartered in Tinley Park, Chicago, Illinois, and United States, KokTailz LLC uses an advanced system that enables people to find and introduce themselves to potential connections worldwide with the help of a real-time, geo-located mobile dating application that displays a feed based on a user’s location. With a profile created through Google, Apple, Facebook, cell phone, or email, users can like, dislike or toast profiles of other users to determine if they have a potential romantic match. It is a one-stop solution digital application for people who are looking to meet new people for dates or casual hookups. Through the app, users can chat, audio or video call with each other, however, it is allowed only if they have matched. It also notifies the users whenever they ‘clink’ with an individual on the street according to their location, also informing them about the number of times they have clinked with anyone. Users can connect with any displayed profile on their timeline. KokTailz allows users to select their partners based on various filters like body type, age, height, and ethnicity. It also enables users to filter profiles using the sexual orientation of individuals. The different algorithms of the app also assist individuals to find people with similar interests and hobbies. In order to increase the experience of its users, the app also offers several premium features. Cherries (also known as coins) are in-app purchases that enhance the experience of users on KokTailz. Users can purchase cherries or buy subscriptions to have access to premium features. Subscriptions available on the app include “On the Rocks,” “Frozen,” and “Straight Up,” with prices starting at $2.49 to $55.99. With cherries, on the other hand, users are required to purchase different amounts of cherries. However, cherries do not expire like subscriptions and can be used any time. The price of cherries starts from $4.99 for 100 cherries to $19.99 for 500 cherries. KokTailz app for meeting new people not only provides a unique experience to its users but also makes sure that its platform is safe and respects the privacy of its users with options to turn off location features and report inappropriate individuals or behavior. KokTailz stands out from the crowd when it comes to other similar apps on the market due to the creative thinking and efforts of Sean Trotter, Katherine Trotter, and Haider Abbas Naqvi, the key people behind this venture. Even the best dating apps have always been a hit-or-miss kind of thing, however, apps like KokTailz can be a great way to meet your significant other or simply make a new friend.

IDEAS & INNOVATIONS, LLC (I&I) GIFT CARD KIOSK STRATEGIC ANTI-FRAUD DETERRENTS

DALLAS, TEXAS, USA, January 20: I&I's gift card kiosks offer the consumer a substantially broader gift card brand mix (5 times larger than current in store retailer selections) which saves retail space. The kiosk is never out of stock on its gift cards (local, regional, and national gift card brands for both open and closed loop gift cards). The I&I kiosk platform also supports the exchange of a previously owned gift card which transfers the balance to another gift card or to an open loop, “anytime/ anywhere” gift card from I&I. All of these deliverables are supported by many features that include both physical and digital gift cards on demand with multiple payment options which include cash, credit, debit and e-wallet. The gift card kiosk platform is monitored in real-time, which provides secure checkout and also uses anti-fraud disciplines for all gift cards purchased through the I&I gift card kiosk. The gift card industry has been plagued by “IMAGE FRAUD” since the launch of gift cards for 28+ years. Image fraud by definition occurs when pre-printed gift cards that are displayed in retail stores that use a unique personal identification number “PIN”, on the back of each gift card gets exposed. This exposure allows people with bad intentions to steal those PIN numbers and after the consumer pays for the gift card and then activates, allowing the gift card balances to be stolen. The I&I kiosk software platform “STOPS” image fraud from occurring. The I&I patented process, does not print the PIN until after the purchase and card is activated before the card. Without the advance knowledge of the PIN number before activation and the people with bad intentions can’t steal the balances from the purchased gift card. This is a consumer and retail industry multimillion-dollar problem, which occurs every day at retail and its consumers.* “Nothing spoils the gift of giving more than a gift card with a zero balance at checkout”. Ideas & Innovations, LLC (I&I), is a physical/digital technology marketing company which works with its retail partners to create, develop and implement consumer kiosk programs. This gift card kiosk program enhances the consumer experience which increases purchases and impulse sales while offering unlimited future options.

As we book these pilot programs and listen to the customers' needs, we are convinced that ARway will become the de facto standard for AR wayfinding in 2023.

IDEAL was founded to catalyze upward mobility and provide greater access for women in healthcare. With the launch of a digital community, members will have a chance to be a champion and encourage each other in the development and advancement of female leaders in the industry. The purpose of launching this digital community is to encourage women and men to come together to not only help each other close the wage gap and take action to elevate others, but have the opportunity to accelerate progress for women in the healthcare industry. A few benefits of being a member of IDEAL for Healthcare is: being a catalyst for change, engaging in an online forum, having access to counseling groups, attending networking events, applying for board member positions, speaking at engagements, and much more. “Where there is conviction there is capacity for change. I am thrilled to launch a digital community that delivers on the promise to provide upward mobility and visibility to women in healthcare, with the support of men who are our allies. Equally committed to our mission. Kristen Duell, founder of IDEAL for Healthcare shared. “The idea for this organization started in a room full of powerful and amazing women who all agreed that we will no longer be quiet to the lack of representation on stage and in the boardroom,” She continued, “Now it’s catapulted and changed the career trajectory of many women by enabling and inspiring. IDEAL for Healthcare has built an endless table and we aim to equal the playing field for women in any room they wish to be in.” New and existing members will have the chance to increase their involvement in the non-profit organization with: Donor and Sponsor, Value-In-Kind, Product and Service, and donation based opportunities that further support inclusion, diversity, equity and belonging. While IDEAL for Healthcare offers numerous contribution opportunities for members, their newest sponsorship opens the door for corporations to get in on the ground floor with four levels: Premier, Partner, Supporter, and Collaborator. With these four levels of sponsorship, corporations will have the chance to not only improve their DEIB offerings, but show just how important diversity, inclusion, closing the wage gap, and helping women have a seat at the table means to them. In addition, IDEAL for Healthcare will be moving to a paid membership. They decided to move in this direction to enhance the value of their members' time and energy by increasing member-only benefits and staying true to their original purpose. “IDEAL was created to be a champion for female leaders and assist them in developing and advancing their careers in the healthcare industry. Michelle Pickering, Executive Director of IDEAL for Healthcare shared. “As one of the original members seated at that incredibly pivotal table just over a year ago, I was thrilled when the opportunity to lead IDEAL presented itself because it offers the space to lend a “hand-up” to others; to allow them to take a more equitable path towards success in our industry.” She continued, "I'm ecstatic for the launching of our digital community to bring women and men closer together, to support and elevate one another, towards achieving both their personal and professional objectives.” IDEAL for Healthcare’s paid membership will be effective February 1, 2023.
