Kaiser Realty, Inc. Surpasses Relay for Life Goal, Raises More than $ 7500 for the American Cancer Society











Kaiser Realty, Inc. raises more than $ 7,500 for the American Cancer Society.


Gulf Shores, AL (PRWEB) April 27, 2012

Kaiser Realty, Inc. had an excellent showing at the 2012 Relay for Life in Orange Beach this past weekend by exceeding their yearly fundraising goal by more than 50%. Originally setting a $ 5,000 goal, the Kaiser Realty, Inc. team set up various fundraising events over the past months to bring the community together, raise awareness for the need of cancer research and ultimately, to raise funds for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life program.

“Many of our fellow Kaiser Realty team members have been affected by cancer in one way or another,” stated Kimberly Ray, Assistant Front Desk Manager with Kaiser Realty, Inc. “We wanted to do everything in our power to raise the most money for cancer research, and by surpassing our yearly goal, we proved that we could truly make a difference!”

Throughout the Relay for Life season, Kaiser Realty, Inc. held events such as a Bake Sale, Yard Sale and their annual Cycling the Coast for a Cure bicycle ride as fundraising efforts. Each event proving to be more successful than its predecessor, the Kaiser Realty, Inc. team quickly determined that their original goal was increasingly achievable.

Alongside the great efforts put forth as a team, various Kaiser Realty, Inc. team members helped to make a powerful impact on this year’s event. Real Estates Sales Administrative Assistant, Paige Burris Chappelle, used the novelty of her “Leap Year Day” birth to help raise $ 900 by “leaping” out of an airplane onto the main beach in Gulf Shores. In addition, Reservation Director, Connie Carlisle, hosted a Party Lite candle brochure party donating all of her proceeds to the cause.

Kaiser Realty, Inc. also displayed superb company involvement at the overnight Relay for Life event. Sandy Davenport, Real Estate Agent, led all interested attendees in a fun and energetic Zumba class. Designed to engage participants and help put a little “pep” back in their step during the late night hours, Davenport received countless thanks and rave reviews for her session.

Leadership and devotion to such notable causes are what make Kaiser Realty, Inc. team members stand out within the community and helps bring together families, neighbors and local leaders together to strive for change.

“We are incredibly proud of the Kaiser Realty team and all of the hard work that has gone into exceeding this goal.” says Emily Eiland Gonzalez, Marketing/Public Relations Director. “As a company mission, we strive to exceed expectations with our guests and in the community; and with this event, we’ve managed to even exceed our own”

Kaiser Realty, Inc. would like to recognize community member Sheila Williams, who raised more than $ 1,500 for Cycling the Coast, making a distinct impact on the Kaiser Realty, Inc. fundraising goal, as well as the following event sponsors for their generosity and participation in helping make the 2012 Relay for Life events successful: Eastern Shores Cycles, Amazing Eyes, Baldwin EMC, Bayside Signs, C Sharpe, The Original Oyster House, The Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Sports Commission, Lower Alabama Parrot Head Club, LuLu’s at Homeport Marina, Sunny 105.7, Pensacola Pools, Road ID, and Tacky Jack’s.

Greenstar Home Services Announces Central Water Filtration Partnership with Environmental Water Systems (EWS, Inc.)

Greenstar Home Services Announces Central Water Filtration Partnership with Environmental Water Systems (EWS, Inc.)












Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) April 06, 2012

Greenstar Home Services, Orange County’s premier eco-friendly and environmentally conscious plumbing, HVAC, and water filtration provider, has announced today that it will be exclusively providing Environmental Water Systems as their water filtration product of choice. Greenstar is the first and only plumbing and HVAC provider in Orange County certified by Environmental Water Systems as experts in installation and service of their high-end filtration appliances.

“EWS is thrilled to be associated with Greenstar,” says Mark Truncale, Vice President of Environmental Water Systems. “Like EWS, Greenstar is dedicated to providing top quality product and exceptional customer service.”

“EWS makes the best filtration products on the market today,” says Jack Yarbrough, Area Sales Manager of Greenstar Home Services. “For us, there was no other choice. EWS is a company with a proven track record of top product performance, quality engineering, and customer satisfaction. Their product line is completely dedicated to water filtration. They are focused on investing and improving their product line, producing a cutting edge appliance for the homeowner.”

Environmental Water Systems has been a proven leader in Whole Home Water Filtration for over 25 years. EWS was chosen as the exclusive water filtration for the 2011 National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) New American Showcase Home, showcased by numerous publications, and is available in over 700 kitchen and bath showrooms in the United States.

With today’s city tap water containing chlorine or chloramine (a toxic chlorine-ammonia compound that is lethal to marine life and corrosive to pipes and appliances), pharmaceutical residues, pesticides, obesogens, and more, we are putting ourselves at risk for developing health issues. Our bodies absorb more chlorine in a 10-minute shower than if we drank a gallon of unfiltered tap water, so we must be aware that we can drink, inhale, and absorb these contaminants.

“The President’s Cancer Panel reports that there are over 80,000 understudied and unregulated contaminants in our tap water, some of which are directly linked to cancer. EWS has never focused on taste or gimmicks or the latest trend. We focus on health. We focus on our products’ ability to remove these contaminants and protect us – not cover it up by making the water simply taste better. Taste does not equate to health or quality. If it did, then French fries and cookies would be health foods,” says Truncale.

“Greenstar is committed to providing our customers with unparalleled service and exceptional value, providing EWS is just an extension of that philosophy. It was important for us to align with a company that is continually improving their products to meet the changing water conditions of the families we serve. Their new chloramine filtration line is like none other on the market, and is just one example of their commitment to cutting edge performance,” says Yarbrough.

Greenstar Home Services offers many options to homeoweners for their everyday lives to protect the environment for a global benefit. We aim to empower our customers with simple and direct information on green alternatives that make a real, lasting difference to their family, to their home, and to the world.”

New Book from Charles Franc & Associates, Inc.: “The Complete Guide to Strategic Marketing for the Cardiovascular Service Line”

Posted on by

New Book from Charles Franc & Associates, Inc.: “The Complete Guide to Strategic Marketing for the Cardiovascular Service Line”











John W. Meyer, Lead Author


Dana Point, CA (PRWEB) April 04, 2012

The evolution of hospital marketing programs over the preceding 30 years has followed an undulating trajectory roughly aligned with the hospital industry’s economic health, the emergence of managed care organizations and increasing financial pressures. In the 1980s, in house marketing departments with a comprehensive cross section of skills were common as hospitals promoted themselves primarily in a business to customer (B2C) orientation. In the 1990s, following the inevitable migration to a fundamentally managed-care environment, many formal hospital marketing programs were shut down.

Co-author John Meyer, director of a hospital marketing program in the late 1980s, experienced such a program implosion and comments in the book’s Introduction:

“It is ironic that marketing’s acceptance seemed to wane just as the whole concept of service line organization and management was developing. Compounding the marketing issue was the growth of Web-based information and, more recently, the rise of social media and the challenges associated with these new platforms.”

Today’s consumers are far more adept at researching and evaluating hospitals and cardiovascular service lines thanks to government programs promoting information availability, personal health records and social media venues. As a result, and due to the myriad publics that Cardiovascular Service Lines must serve (patients, payers, regulators, donors, physicians, employers, employees, businesses, politicians, etc.), it is more important than ever before to promote the hospital and manage its reputation in both B2B and B2C marketing contexts.

However, in the absence of supporting budgets, the responsibility for cardiovascular service line marketing increasingly lies on the shoulders of Service Line Administrators (SLAs), who often have little experience and even less time to focus on this additional responsibility.

The job of today’s cardiovascular SLA is complex and time consuming, with an expanding to-do-list including items from the mundane to the monumental. “The Complete Guide to Strategic Marketing for the Cardiovascular Service Line” presents reasonable concepts, practical tools, real-world examples and straightforward ideas to augment the SLA’s growing skill set – all within an environmental context that can enhance performance and create real value without significantly adding to the SLA’s already bloated task list. This new Guide will help the SLA to understand the environment, seek out opportunities, promote customer-oriented practices, and above all, marshal the resources required to meet and exceed market expectations.

5 Time Management Tips from W.W. Grainger, Inc. for Operations and Maintenance Pros

Posted on by

5 Time Management Tips from W.W. Grainger, Inc. for Operations and Maintenance Pros














Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 29, 2012

According to Forrester Research, in the U.S. alone, there were nearly 100 million smartphones by the end of 2011. New mobile technology is changing how people control the information important to them.

Here are five tips from Grainger, North America’s leading facilities maintenance company, to help you think about how to make technology work for you and, most importantly, help you put time back into your day and efficiently manage your business.

1. Technology Should Work the Way You Work

Fifty-one percent of Americans used their cell phone to go online in the last month. By 2014, more people will find information online using cell phones rather than desktops. Take advantage of sites like Grainger’s new mobile website which improves your access to critical features on Grainger.com® no matter your location – job site, truck, plant floor, garage or maintenance shop. Grainger’s mobile web platform and enhancements to Grainger.com® make online experiences faster, easier and more personal.

2. Don’t Put Things Off – Get Answers When You Need Them

Today, most operations and maintenance professionals spend less time at their desks. To be the most effective, make sure you have access to resources where you need them, when you need them. For some, that may mean starting to shop in the office on Grainger.com®, then working with a partner who wants to use the Grainger catalog like they have for decades, or being in the field alongside associates and using a mobile phone to find the right product and ordering it on the spot. Your resources should be interactive as well. Features like click to chat, can provide immediate answers to help complete projects quickly.

3. One Minute of Set Up = Hours of Time Saved.

Also according to Forrester Research, businesses can save $ 10 – $ 20 per order when they automate purchasing processes. The Grainger.com® Online Ordering Solutions offer an efficient way to shop for and order supplies, keep track of how much you’re spending, and integrate your order process.

4. Multi-Task. It Can Be Fun, Or At Least Easy.

Standing in line: Use your smartphone to check e-mails or review and approve the orders in your in-box. On the job site and need a product: use your smartphone to search for products. Grainger continues to invest in eCommerce to provide features such as Real-Time Product Availability that answer questions such as: Do they have it? Where can I get it? How can I get it?

5. Don’t Start From Scratch Every Time You Start a New Project

Do you perform the same task over and over again? Then, create a short cut. Use tools like Grainger’s personal lists that let you create lists for specific items that you order frequently. More than a simple list, you use your personal lists to quickly place orders, share your lists with people working with you, and keep a record of your previous purchases for fast accounting later.

Regardless of whether it is a hammer, computer or smartphone technology, a tool is not helpful unless it to works the way you need it to work. Combine your resources to customize how you shop, buy and have products delivered. Grainger lets you access almost one million products in the way that works best for you and your business – Grainger mobile web, Grainger.com®, Grainger Catalog 403, or in person with your local branch or sales representative.
