Edjweb Mediaworks launches The Worry Bank; focused online community.

TORONTO, ON – May 25, 2001 – Edjweb Mediaworks is proud to launch its new recreational online community, The Worry Bank at http://www.worrybank.com, which offers people a place to dismiss their worries. This free web site contains many relaxing distractions such as words of encouragement, games, discussion forums, and most importantly it offers a non-medical way for worriers to take their minds off their problems for a while.

Noticing a gap in this category of entertaining web sites, Edjweb Mediaworks Director of Operations, Eileen Seigel felt that The Worry Bank had obvious potential. “Everybody has worries”, says Mrs. Seigel. “I have read so many articles by doctors and therapists that have discussed the negative impact worrying has on peoples’ health. Most of the things people that worry about don’t even end up happening.” Stress relief and a fun site to keep coming back to are the main goals of The Worry Bank, according to Mrs. Seigel. “The Worry Bank is not meant to replace therapists, medicine, or other professional means of help. It’s an entertaining site for amusement. People often say to me ‘I wish someone else could do my worrying for me’ and I thought, ‘why not’? The Worry Bank is a place where people can deposit their worries and withdraw encouragement.”

This is one of the sites being developed under the Edjweb Mediaworks umbrella that will create a focused online audience, allowing for a much more successful means of direct marketing. David Seigel, the Director of Business Development for Edjweb Mediaworks, believes that The Worry Bank can create a market that has not been produced online before. “It gives people a light-hearted place to share and shed their worries,” says Mr. Seigel. “When our community continues to grow and people keep coming back to the site for the same purpose, we’ll be able to suggest larger distractions than games or encouragement. Booking a vacation or buying a lava lamp might help soothe peoples’ frazzled nerves. The possibilities for direct marketing are endless.”

Edjweb Mediaworks is located in Toronto, Ontario Canada. The company strives to provide top quality online marketing and focused community development. For additional information on Edjweb Mediaworks, visit their Web site at http://www.edjweb.com or call (416) 618-4422.

While filmmaker Michael Moore takes American patients to Cuba for medical care in his popular documentary film “Sicko” that criticizes the failing state of the U.S. healthcare industry, Daren Jorgenson, a Canadian entrepreneur, has gone a step beyond.

Jorgenson has launched Choice Medical Services (http://www.choicemedicalservices.com), a medical tourism company that assists North American patients in getting lower-cost healthcare services in Cuba.

“Our aim is to provide safe and affordable healthcare services and products for patients, regardless of their income and where they live,” said Jorgenson. “We have visited Cuba several times to inspect the hospitals and clinics and meet with health professionals, and find their quality of care and high standards are comparable to those in Canada and the U.S.”

Choice Medical Services has recently led nearly 200 patients to be treated in Cuba for conditions including hip and knee replacements, corneal transplants, dental implants, addictions treatment, retinitis pigmentosa, tummy tucks, breast reshaping, and MRIs and CT scans. These patients have ranged in age from 19 to 76 years, and most were either uninsured or underinsured or could not endure the long wait times.

“Our patients had ‘smooth sailing’ with their treatments in Cuba and there were zero problems,” added Jorgenson. “Since we are partnered with the Cuban Health Ministry, we free our patients from having to worry about transportation needs, communications with the doctors, accommodations and other issues.”

Bill Doran, Choice CEO, who just returned Saturday (Aug. 4) from a visit to Havana, said the company has been planning and researching the enterprise for more than one year. This included having top Canadian physicians visit Cuba on Choice’s behalf to observe surgeries at the hospitals.

“The more I investigate the Cuban Healthcare system, the more I am convinced Cuba can deliver safe, effective and affordable healthcare to all North Americans,” said Doran. “Patients who do not want to suffer long wait times or the excessive costs will find a very high level of care in Cuba. Cuba is truly an undiscovered treasure when it comes to healthcare and visitors will be pleasantly surprised.”

Jorgenson Meets Michael Moore

Jorgenson met and personally spoke with Michael Moore, when they coincidentally were both returning from visits to Havana several months ago. For legal reasons, Jorgenson won’t say where that conversation took place, but he added, “Michael was a very personable and down-to-earth guy. I told him about our new company, and he loved the idea.”

The U.S. launch of MediClim.com is captivating the medical community and meteorologists, and more importantly bringing relief to Americans who suffer from chronic health problems such as migraines, asthma, arthritis, diabetes and heart conditions.

MediClim.com tracks weather patterns, identifies when conditions are more likely to affect health and alerts subscribers with an email the day before potential weather health risks. It is the only health-weather forecast in North America and it’s free; users simply sign-up with an email and zip code (to localize weather warnings).

Founded by physician Dr. John Bart and senior career meteorologist Denis Bourque, this free service gives warnings via custom email alerts when health problems are likely to be aggravated by local weather conditions.

Over the past 25 years Dr. Bart and Mr. Bourque have collaborated on what is the most robust online weather health link in the world. “Our goal is to improve the lives of people with chronic or re-occuring illnesses by warning them when weather may compound their pain,” says Dr. Bart. “It is our hope that armed with this knowledge; people may heed their doctor’s advice more carefully during a weather alert to minimize any impact. For example migraine sufferers could plan a shorter work day when a MediClim email warns that tomorrow’s weather may worsen their condition.”

Backed by decades of European research that supports the weather health theory such as studies completed by the International Society of Biometeorology, Bart and Bourque have developed an index that maps specific weather conditions known to trigger health issues. The results of their research have culminated in 14 distinct categories of weather known to affect health.

“We’re at the tip of the iceberg in terms of the weather health relationship,” says Mr. Bourque. “There are already plans underway to expand the range of health matters MediClim will warn against. We believe this Medical Climate index could be as important as the U.V. index, smog advisories and other mainstream weather forecasting tools.”

Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) July 1, 2009

Novo Nordisk, a global healthcare company, announced the official launch of its “Race with Insulin” Twitter page. The effort is the latest development in the company’s 2009 partnership with Firestone Indy Lights? race car driver Charlie Kimball, who demonstrates that with proper management, diabetes does not have to be a roadblock.

As he travels to events across the country, the first American open-wheeled racing driver with diabetes will provide updates called “tweets” directly from his computer or mobile phone about his race progress and diabetes management, representing a different direction in sharing real patient experiences. Fans can read live tweets and subscribe to receive them by visiting http://www.twitter.com/racewithinsulin.

“‘Race with Insulin’ provides me the opportunity to regularly reach out to my fans with real-time updates about life as a race car driver with diabetes,” said Kimball. “When I am not traveling at speeds of 160 miles per hour, I hope to reach as many people living with diabetes as possible with my own story and inspire them to take an active role in managing their health.”

Kimball also has a personal blog, YouTube Channel, fan club on Facebook, racing Website and second Twitter account, where he also discusses his life as a racecar driver and type 1 diabetes. These sites are not affiliated with Novo Nordisk, while “Race with Insulin” is a sponsored branded Twitter page, where he can also tweet about the insulin he uses.

Kimball, who began racing go-karts at age 9, chose to bypass admission to Stanford University to follow his dream to become a racecar driver. When he was diagnosed with diabetes in 2007 he was forced to abandon his racing program mid-season. Remarkably in 2008, Kimball returned to the cockpit and claimed a podium finish in his first race back in the car. Recently he recorded his fourth top 10 finish in Iowa, continuing to prove that his high performance life is possible with diabetes.

Kimball was first introduced to Novo Nordisk when his physician prescribed Novo Nordisk insulins Levemir
