Retail Medicine a Vital Component of Healthcare Access
Scott Mason, DPA, FACHE
Principal
ECG Management Consultants
The critique and concerns about retail medicine in its initial stages were memorable. It was the subject of considerable skepticism, as disruptive innovations often are. To this day, many traditional health systems have tended to shrug off retail medicine as an interesting innovation in healthcare delivery but not much more. Mason says this is a mistake: "Retail medicine and convenient care clinics are now a vital component of healthcare access. They will continue to proliferate and health systems cannot afford to deflect their presence as a niche or nuisance. Retail medicine has already become one of the major forces changing healthcare in the direction that the new healthcare consumer is demanding."
Mason is available to discuss new healthcare delivery modalities. He has been one of the most trusted healthcare strategy advisors in the business for 30 years, is a frequent speaker, and holds a doctorate in health policy and management from George Washington University. He is based in Washington, D.C.

Looks Do Matter: Start With the Outside to Create an Amazing Life
Linda Formichelli
Author
Renegade Writer Press
Women are taught that worrying about how they look, and how their homes look, is the epitome of shallowness, and that "it's what's inside that counts." But loving how you (and your home) look boosts your energy and motivation for more important goals, says Formichelli, author of "How to Do It All: The Revolutionary Plan to Create a Full, Meaningful Life — While Only Occasionally Wanting to Poke Your Eyes out With a Sharpie": "Ever try to do important work when you're having a really bad hair day, or your home office is coated in cat fur? Yeah, me too -- and it's not productive."
Formichelli is available to talk about the importance of taking care of appearances, why this is far from a shallow goal, and how to do it without going crazy -- or broke. She has been a full-time freelance health and wellness journalist since 1997, is the busy mom of a 7-year-old, has hosted 14 exchange students, and travels the world with her family. She is based in Raleigh, N.C.

Seven Signs You May Be Addicted to Work
Dr. Judith Zackson
clinical psychologist
According to researchers, work addiction is mainly characterized by working excessively and compulsively. In other words, if you are a workaholic, you feel compelled to work for more hours than is normal. Zackson can discuss these seven signs of work addiction: "1) You spend time thinking about how you can work more hours each day. This means that you actively look for time that can be spent working. 2) You work more than you mean to. 3) You devote yourself to work to escape from unpleasant emotions. You feel anxious, depressed or guilty, and to tamp down those feelings you keep yourself busy at work. 4) Friends or family ask you to cut back at work, but you don't listen. 5) Not being able to work stresses you out. You really have to come home in time to attend an event. 6) Other activities fall by the wayside because of your devotion to work. You used to jog in the morning before work, but now you get up early to get to the office instead. 7) Your work habits are harming your health. Maybe you aren't taking time to eat well or exercise anymore and you have gained weight as a result."
Dr. Zackson is a clinical psychologist with more than 12 years of experience. Her private practice focuses on depression, anxiety, panic attacks, relationship issues, and parenting issues. She also specializes in various forms of eating issues and addictions. Dr. Zackson works with a range of clients, from adults, adolescents, parents, couples, to business leaders and corporations. Her treatment approach is solution-focused, helping clients identify and manage emotions that might be getting in the way of achieving their goals so they can live a better quality of life.

OTHER NEWS & RESOURCES:

Following are links to other news and resources we think you might find useful. If you have an item you think other reporters would be interested in and would like us to include in a future alert, please drop us a line.

• COVERING THE NEWS: A RISKY BUSINESS FOR FREELANCERS. When the lead story drags a business's name through the mud, that company might turn around and drag the reporter who broke the news into court. In those cases, freelance journalists are particularly vulnerable -- left to fend for themselves -- without the protection of an in-house legal team or deep pockets of a major news organization. We're hosting a Twitter Q&A about that Tuesday, June 7. If this is something you've thought about, join us. Details here: http://prn.to/1XTkSXZ
• HOW TO DEVELOP FRESH ANGLES FOR YOUR STORY. In this digital age of storytelling, writers have multiple vehicles in which to tell their story. Whether you're writing traditional articles, producing content for private clients, or simply marketing your own work, you need to stay on top of the various tools and platforms available to you. Here are some tips from four influential women in the publishing industry: http://prn.to/28fZq4n
• HOW FREELANCERS CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM LAWSUITS. Freelance reporters, particularly investigative journalists or writers who cover matters of public concern, work in a risky business. A headline-grabbing story may grace the front page, but the reporter who broke the news may also come under fire. Here is some advice from an attorney who focuses on professional exposures for clients in the media: http://prn.to/MediaInsurance
