Middleborough, MA, April 10, 2020 -- Holistic Health Group, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation organized for the purpose of cultivating, processing and dispensing medical marijuana, recently provided a construction update for its medical marijuana dispensary at 477 Wareham Street in Middleborough, Massachusetts. The 31,000 square-foot facility is currently nearing completion. James Crowley, of Frankie Investments, LLC, is the general contractor.

To date, Holistic Health Group has constructed the shell of building on the site, which will house the medical/recreational center for cannabis cultivation, manufacturing and sales. The facility is located adjacent to Ryco Excavating and Interstate 495, just a half mile off Exit 3.

“We’re making progress on the dispensary and looking good for an open date this fall, maybe even sooner should we get the appropriate permitting to grow outdoors this summer,” said Tim McNamara, principal of Holistic Health Group, Inc. “If we’re able to take advantage of the Massachusetts agricultural growing season this summer it may mean up to $10 million in sales this year, which would translate to $300,000-plus in tax revenues for the town of Middleborough under our adult use host agreement.”

Holistic Health Group will hire eight to 10 local employees as soon as this summer if the outdoor plans can proceed – the group plans to employ an all organic, living soil grow protocol – but the COVID-19 virus might delay the necessary approvals beyond the growing season, depending on how things play out statewide. That number is expected to grow to 35 or 40 with approval for the current outdoor growing season and expansion into the recreational marijuana business.

“The news nationally and locally has obviously been bleak. Besides loss of life, the economic impact of this crisis has also hurt a lot of people,” said McNamara. “We’re hoping, with some positive feedback from the town, Holistic Health Group can be part of the local recovery effort by providing much needed jobs for local residents and revenue for the town at a crucial time.”

Holistic Health Group, Inc. will tentatively appear before the Middleborough Planning Board in May - once social distancing restrictions are lifted. In the meantime, the group intends to have a follow-up “virtual job fair” via Zoom, for Middleborough residents only on Thursday, April 30 at 5:30PM.

Boston, MA, April 10, 2020 -- Boston Sports Medicine, a provider of exceptional physical therapy care to thousands in the Boston area and beyond, is now offering Telehealth or E-Visit physical therapy services to their existing patients, and Telehealth to any patient in Massachusetts who has lost their physical therapy due to office closure or reduction in staff.

With intensifying concerns surrounding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Telehealth or E-Visits have become of paramount importance to ensure the safety of patients and health care providers.

Physical Therapy via computer or another device
Telehealth or E-Visits are the remote delivery of health care services and clinical information using communications technology, such as Internet, wireless and phone media. Boston Sports Medicine patients now have the opportunity to seamlessly continue their care through video appointments, while practicing social distancing, remaining in their home, and minimizing their exposure to the virus.

“Approximately half of the patients we see critically need physical therapy guidance,”explained Dr. Michael J. Velsmid, DPT, MS, Director of Boston Sports Medicine. “Many people have just had surgery, young children have recently had their casts removed, people with debilitating back and neck pain and others who have acute injury or medical conditions are without anyone to speak with to learn how to cope and what they and their family can do. Our Telehealth or E-Visit services enable us to deliver essential physical therapy and clinical information remotely to continue their care in the safety of their home.”

Benefits of Physical Therapy by Telehealth
In addition to minimizing exposure to the virus, Boston Sports Medicine’s Telehealth/E-Visit physical therapy provides a number of benefits including:

Convenience – Patients receive physical therapy care from the comfort, safety, and privacy of their home or anywhere with connection to communications technology.

Security – Boston Sport Medicine’s technology platform used for Telehealth and E-Visits are HIPAA compliant, ensuring that private health information is protected.

Simplicity – Patients use a computer or any device with a camera and internet. If there is no access to a camera, Boston Sport Medicine’s physical therapist can do Telehealth visits by phone.

Office appointments at Boston Sports Medicine’s locations are available at the moment but currently limited due to their efforts to “flatten the curve” by strict adherence to grouping guidelines and social distancing.

Access to the best therapists no matter where you are
To request a Telehealth or E-Visit physical therapy appointment, visit https://www.bostonsportsmed.com/request-appointment/ and a Boston Sports Medicine physical therapist will see you on your device in the comfort of your home covered by your MA-based health insurance plan, Medicare, Tricare, and many other out of state plans.

The Department of Public Health issued guidance on March 15, 2020 to all commercial insurers and the Group Insurance Commission regarding the coverage of medically necessary telehealth services. To review the full order, visit https://www.mass.gov/doc/march-15-2020-telehealth-order/download

Boston Sports Medicine has taken it a step further to help the most vulnerable population by waiving all copayments and deductibles for its Medicare beneficiaries who use E-Visits.

How do we address the growing anxiety among people about the supply of essential food items? How do we stop people from panic buying? Given that India is under a 21-day lockdown to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen people hoarding and panic buying with the fear of products going off the shelf. 

To address this issue while also ensuring that people stay home,  iD Fresh Food has launched a unique ‘Store Finder’ feature on its website today to empower customers with updated information on iD products available at the open stores near them and the exact quantity of fresh iD products supplied today. In fact, the Store Finder also has ‘Notify Me’ feature that will provide daily SMS alerts when fresh stocks get refilled at your neighbourhood open stores.

India’s largest fresh food brand is working hard  – ensuring that ready-to-cook fresh Indian food is easily available across key markets. And that the customers are well-informed about what to find where and when. 

Commenting on the initiative, PC Musthafa, CEO and co-founder of iD Fresh Food, said, “Over the last week, customers have been complaining about grocery stores being shut and unavailability of products on e-grocery platforms. We have witnessed cases of panic buying. There’s so much uncertainty and worry…We want our customers to know that the team at iD is working hard and our products are available at stores, thanks to our well-knit distribution network. There’s no reason to panic and hoard food. Our technology will use data to empower customers who wish to know the details of iD products available at the open stores near them. We have a notification feature that will send you SMS alerts daily. Our effort is to ensure that people don’t need to get out of their homes unnecessarily, hunting for healthy food options anymore. Please stay home, stay safe, and eat healthy, fresh food.” 

Musthafa, further added, “Our customers are a valued part of the iD family. Our products have been a staple in several households over the years. So, when our customers worry about what to feed their families, it’s our duty to step in with nourishing solutions. These are tough times, but we are committed to serving you healthy, fresh food. With over 30k retailers across 45 cities as part of our network, we are looking to extend the fresh stocks alert feature for fruits and vegetables supplied by other vendors too.”

“Each one of us needs to prioritise personal health and wellbeing to ensure that as a society we are well-equipped to win the fight against this pandemic. Let’s not ignore the importance of a healthy diet. For, there’s nothing more potent than fresh home-cooked food to energise the body, mind and soul. We’ll brave this challenge together,” Musthafa added. 

Here’s how the new ‘Store Finder’ feature works:

Round Rock, TX: Now more than ever, your plumbing - toilets, taps, and pipes - have to work. But, fortunately, in these times of COVID-19, homeowners in Austin Texas can turn to veteran plumber Robert Breithaupt for immediate help.

Robert and the RC's Plumbing Company team take enormous lengths to protect them and their clients from the spread of the novel coronavirus during call-outs, with them suiting up in protective equipment before entering homes.

While the extra layer gives comfort for all, Robert is more than aware of the problems his clients across Travis County can be exposed to when it comes to plumbing issues.

So whether it's a blocked toilet, a dripping tap, sewer blockage or more underlying problems in the pipes, this licensed master plumber is always on hand to ensure any plumbing or electrical issues are handled correctly.

The company has recently added "no-contact video inspections" to their service portfolio. This  allows customers to have a licensed plumber or electrician evaluate the problem without stepping foot in their home. 

"Our team will work around a client's schedule and find the most convenient time to call, diagnose the issue and provide the correct solution," commented Mr Breithaupt.

"There's no job too big or too small that our team of experts won't tackle, whether it's a leaking faucet, a failing water heater or an electrical panel that needs to be replaced."

Their team is background-checked and are cross-trained in the latest industry standards and best practices, while also having extensive services knowledge to make homes safer and more comfortable.

The company is adept at surveying houses for electrical inspection, as well as upgrading outdated wiring or circuits, providing a home backup generator and installing surge protection to protect electronics and appliances from power surges.

The team covers areas including Austin, Buda, Cedar Park, Elgin, Georgetown, Jonestown, Lago Vista, Leander, Manor, Pflugerville, and Round Rock.

Turning to hire a plumber or an electrician during the times of coronavirus, Mr Breithaupt urged residents to ask what precautions are taken by a home-services contractor, that they are licensed and to check their reviews.

He added: "Here at RC Plumbing, we are prepared to offer our services, help and advice to the community at this highly stressful time, we are licensed, and have fantastic testimonials to back up our high service standards."
