SUBJ: EXPERT OPINION: Declining Vaccination Rates are Endangering our Children
Hi X,
As children head back to school, it's a critical time for parents to ensure their kids are up to date on routine vaccinations. Our country is facing a concerning decline in vaccination rates, a trend that puts not only unvaccinated children at risk but whole communities.
Outbreaks of preventable diseases like the measles are on the rise, reaching levels not seen in over 20 years. For a community to be protected, vaccination rates for measles need to be at or above 95%. The latest data shows the national rate has dropped to 92%, with vaccine exemptions rising to 4.1% from 3.7% just a year ago.
Dr. Dontal Johnson, a pediatrician and professor at Meharry Medical College, is available to provide expert commentary on the critical importance of routine childhood vaccinations.
Dr. Johnson can discuss how maintaining immunization schedules protects not only individual children but also the broader community. He is available to speak on this topic as well as other pediatric and general health issues.
Interested? Happy to connect you with Dr. Johnson immediately.
Best,
X

SUBJ: Opioid Crisis: CONNECT program expands to Rio Arriba County
Hi X,
The process to access social care services can be long, tedious, and complicated, which often becomes a barrier for individuals who would benefit from extra support. That’s why Unite Us and Rio Arriba County are excited to share that the CONNECT initiative is expanding to the Rio Arriba region! CONNECT simplifies the process of finding social care services, such as housing, food, and behavioral health assistance, enabling individuals to easily receive the help they need. This initiative has already been overwhelmingly successful in Santa Fe County, winning a National Achievement Award in 2022, and Unite Us has facilitated over 60 million connections between services and individuals nationwide. CONNECT will strengthen the Rio Arriba community and ensure residents thrive, and we’re looking forward to seeing this expansion’s success.
Would you be interested in covering this story?
Sincerely,
X

SUBJ: Changing Lives: Montanans Impacted by Organ Donation
Hi X,
I’d like to share three powerful stories from Montanans whose lives were forever changed by organ donation. Each individual’s experience with organ donation has led them to raise awareness on behalf of LifeCenter Northwest, the nonprofit that facilitates organ donation across Montana, Washington, Alaska, and Northern Idaho.
Rev. Jim Shelden, Billings local and chaplain with Montana Health, received a heart transplant that allows him to keep working with patients and spending time with family.
Todd Ware, Bigfork local and lung recipient, runs Air Therapy Aviation, helping veterans experience the joy of flight and mentoring future pilots.
Eden Atwood, whose son Benjamin became a donor hero, made the selfless decision to donate his organs on Mother’s Day weekend—saving four lives and restoring sight to two others. Rev.
Jim and Todd are available for in-person interviews, and Eden is open to speaking virtually.
What do you think?
Sincerely,
X

The Tennessee Tribune: MTSU aims to help rural medical providers
By: Logan Langlois | February 29, 2024
“Middle Tennessee State University has recently launched a PA program that is partnering up with medical facilities in many of Tennessee’s rural areas. Program Director Dr. Marie Patterson said many of these rural Tennessee clinics have been experiencing hurdles in providing medical care to their communities, one of which is understaffing.
She said that many of these community’s face difficulty with both medical access and education, with citizens much of the time unable to make the long-distance travels that are required for them to receive advanced, or sometimes even basic medical care.
‘We’re trying to partner with everyone,’ Patterson said. ‘So obviously we want to be in the bigger cities as well, but we have it as a goal for all our students to do at least one rural or underserved area rotation.’”
The Tennessee Tribune: Student Freedom Initiative and Cisco provide cyber security to minority schools
By: Logan Langlois | February 15, 2024
“The Student Freedom Initiative, or SFI, has partnered up with technology company Cisco on a mission to fight the current wealth gap being experienced to the detriment of minority communities by providing technological and financial relief to minority colleges. Chief Operating Officer Keith Shoates said SFI and Cisco originally started the program to assist Historically Black Colleges and Universities, or HBCUs, in updating their outdated cyber-security technology following a message from the Department of Education which set forth an updated set of guidelines that had to be followed by all colleges receiving federal funding, or else said funding would be pulled. Shoates said this was a big deal as 90 percent of the students attending HBCUs receive federal funding; therefore, the cancellation of this resource would have led to the shutdown of many institutions.
Shoates said that the upgrades required would have themselves been extremely difficult for the HBCUs to afford. To exemplify this, Shoates brought up that the endowment of the smallest Ivy League institution is almost twice as large as all of the endowments of the over 100 HBCUs in the country.”
Talking Points
Fisk University is Nashville’s oldest institution of higher learning and among America’s most storied Historically Black College & Universities.
Fisk University is committed to developing masterful and principled leaders who will be poised to make substantive contributions to society.
At Fisk, we recognize that there are students with immense, yet untapped, talent often due to limited opportunity or guidance.
The Fisk Bound initiative reinforces Fisk’s 150 plus-year commitment to opening doors and removing roadblocks for driven students from all backgrounds.
Fisk University and Nashville State Community College partnered to connect ambitious students with greater access to education to equip them with the knowledge and resources needed to become successful contributors to our community.
Through Fisk Bound, eligible Nashville State graduates will receive a $10,000 tuition scholarship toward their bachelor's degree at Fisk University.
Fisk Bound strengthens the community-college pipeline by serving as an incentive for Nashville State students to excel academically to eventually pursue a bachelor’s degree at one of our nation's leading HBCUs.
Anticipated questions
What is the goal of the initiative? What catalyzed the partnership between Fisk and Nashville State?
What kind of students are you hoping Fisk Bound will attract? Are you currently accepting applications for the program’s inaugural year?
What success do you expect to see from this initiative? How will this program benefit prospective students?
What does the application process look like? What will the integration of Fisk Bound students into the general Fisk community look like?
Fisk Bound students receive a $10,000 scholarship that goes towards the cost of tuition. Will that cover the entire cost of those students earning a bachelor’s degree at Fisk? If not, what resources will those students be eligible for if they require additional financial assistance for other university-related costs?
I saw Fisk plans to discontinue its gymnastics program. Is Fisk facing financial challenges? Where is the money coming from for the $10,000 scholarships?
How have President Trump’s Executive Orders impacted Fisk? I know a lot of HBCUs have taken some massive hits. I recently saw that Meharry has lost millions of dollars in grants and programs support. How much has Fisk lost?
Interview Tips
This is an informational interview but remember: Logan’s objective is to quote you. Use that to your advantage! When possible, offer concise, informative statements with active words for strong quotes or “sound bites.” Prior to the interview, practice the top-line messages you’d like to get across and be ready to repeat them to the reporter.
Be candid, yet diplomatic. Do not be reluctant to express a strong opinion but be ready to see it made public. Be careful not to be overly critical of any person, company or group in the interview, even if the reporter asks a question designed to lead you there.
If she asks a question, you do not immediately know the answer to, it is okay to say, “I don’t know but I’ll find out.” We will take note and can follow up with the reporter to provide the correct information.

Safe Weight Loss Strategies Post-Pregnancy
The arrival of a newborn is an exciting time but for many women it also brings questions about how and when to lose pregnancy weight. While it’s natural to want to return to your pre-pregnancy body, everyone’s journey looks different and there are plenty of ways to find a weight loss strategy that is both healthy and effective for you.
Most women will see a 10 to 15 pound change right after giving birth. However, for the first six weeks after pregnancy, women should prioritize recovery and allow their body time to rest. Jumping into a diet or exercise routine too soon can delay recovery. Most women gradually lose pregnancy weight within six to 12 months, though the timeline varies based on a number of individual factors.
After pregnancy, women go through major hormonal changes. Having a newborn is a stressor on the body which can lead to higher levels of cortisol, or the body’s “stress hormone,” and increase appetite. Additionally, leptin, another hormone that helps regulate appetite, can be affected by pregnancy as well. Some women develop leptin resistance during pregnancy, making it difficult to feel full and control cravings. Prioritizing sleep, reducing processed foods, managing stress and incorporating gentle movement can help rebalance leptin levels and support healthy weight loss after pregnancy.
Breastfeeding is another major factor in post-birth weight loss. Breastfeeding burns extra calories, normally between 300 and 500 calories per day, which contributes to increased hunger. Conversely, overeating or having an unbalanced diet while breastfeeding can counteract any benefits.
Eating habits are an important part of maintaining a balanced diet after pregnancy. Ensure you are consuming and replenishing essential nutrients, and avoid “crash diets” that provide temporary results. Instead, prioritize whole foods, lean proteins, healthy fats and fiber-rich fruits and vegetables. While it can be hard to monitor your own needs with a newborn, it is crucial to make time to eat regularly and avoid skipping meals to nourish your body, support energy levels and prevent your metabolism from slowing.
Once cleared by your healthcare provider, it is recommended to ease into exercise and start with light activities such as walking or gentle stretching. Make sure your exercise is consistent, even if that means only exercising for small amounts of time during your weekly routine. Remember, your body is different than it was pre-pregnancy, so you shouldn’t jump into a rigorous exercise routine as you may have done before pregnancy. If you had a cesarean delivery or complications, your timeline for resuming exercise may look different so listen to your body and physician and gradually increase the duration and intensity of your workouts over time.
Sleep is also a critical component in weight loss and for your body’s overall function. Try to get sleep whenever possible – such as taking a short nap when possible – and don’t ignore feelings of sleep deprivation. They say it takes a village so don’t be afraid to tap your support system for help when needed.
Losing weight after pregnancy is a normal goal of many women, and it doesn’t have to be a daunting process. There are many habits women can take up to help the weight loss process, and returning to a healthy weight will improve your health overall. If you are having issues with post-pregnancy weight loss, you can always consult with your healthcare provider or a weight loss specialist for individualized guidance. The most important thing to remember is that weight loss is a personal journey and it’s important to do what is safe and healthy for your body.

Vanderbilt Tullahoma-Harton Hospital Introduces New Wound Care Provider
Vanderbilt Tullahoma-Harton Hospital welcomes wound care Nurse Practitioner (NP) Megan Smith and highlights how to access these services in the community.
Tullahoma, Tenn., July 14, 2025 - Vanderbilt Tullahoma-Harton Hospital (VTHH) has announced Megan L. Smith, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, as a new wound care Nurse Practitioner serving patients in and around Coffee County. She will provide comprehensive wound care services and aims to educate the community on the importance of wound care and seeking timely care.
Smith brings over ten years of healthcare experience to her new role and spent five years as a Family Nurse Practitioner prior to joining VTHH. She has specialized in wound care since 2020 and is revered as a collaborative, innovative colleague who motivates teams to work together and provide excellent patient care.
“Megan has extensive experience as a wound care provider and we are excited to be bringing her expertise to Vanderbilt Tullahoma-Harton Hospital,” said Rich Ellis, president of VTHH. “Her drive to connect with patients and deliver quality services will be a great addition to our team, further enabling us to expand our wound care services to our community.”
Wound care is a form of specialized treatment when a wound is not healing in a timely fashion, shows signs of infection or requires additional treatment. Wounds that may demand specialized wound care can include, but are not limited to, bite injuries from animals, puncture wounds from foreign objects and deep lacerations - especially when bone or muscle may be visible.
If a wound does not stop bleeding when applying consistent pressure, becomes numb, severely painful, changes color or develops red “streaks,” or is accompanied by a fever you should seek out wound care services as soon as possible. These are all signs of serious infection and improper healing. A healthcare professional can refer you to a wound care specialist, or you can self-refer to the appropriate provider.
“I am eager to step into this new role and be a resource for the community in Coffee County,” Smith says. “By helping people understand when to seek care and how to properly treat wounds, we can prevent complications and support better long-term outcomes.”
Proper wound care leads to quicker healing time for injuries, less scarring, and avoids serious complications, such as spreading infections or more severe damage to other parts of the body. The VTHH wound care clinic is open five days a week and has a number of providers that cater to a wide range of wounds from diabetic and venous leg ulcers, surgical dehiscence, pressure ulcers to auto-immune induced ulcers and burns. New patients are seen within one week of being referred so as to not delay wound care.
To learn more about VTHH and the wound care services available visit vanderbilttullahomahartonhospital.com or connect with us on Facebook at facebook.com/VanderbiltTullahomaHartonHospital.

Beverly Vincent Coaching
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Helping Women Aged 40+ Reclaim their Life Amidst the Chaos of Daily Living.
Richmond, VA
Beverly Vincent, longtime longevity coach, will soon begin a new coaching program for women over the age of 40. Vincent recognizes that, for many women, this is a chaotic season in life, and she wants to help them regain control of their lives and their futures.
Women carry a lot of responsibilities in society, and many are tired of putting themselves last. Vincent wants to help women realize that it’s time to prioritize their well-being and take back their lives that have been out of their control for years. Vincent’s approach is different from other longevity coaches, in that she honors that every woman is in a different season. There are no rigid plans, but rather understanding what works for each woman now—which is why it sticks.
“This work matters to me because I became a mom at ages 38 and 40, and I decided early on that I would do everything within my ability to be an active, healthy parent,” says Vincent. “I want to show my girls that being mindful about nutrition, movement, sleep and stress can have a significant impact on your health span.”
Beverly Vincent is a longevity coach, wife, and mother of two girls who is passionate about helping women over 40 navigate the changes of midlife with clarity and confidence. Through a balanced approach to sleep, movement, nutrition, and stress, she supports women in creating lasting habits that feel both effective and sustainable.

Longevity Hypnotherapist Launches “Rewired for Longevity” to Help Women Over 40 Break Free From Diet Culture and Rebuild Their Health for Life
Stirling, Scotland
Longevity-focused hypnotherapist Caroline McNally, founder of CazMcNazHypnotherapy, is leading a new movement for women over 40 with the launch of her programme, Rewired for Longevity. This inspiring programme is designed to help women step out of decades of “chasing skinny” promotions and into a health-first identity.
Women over 40 are exhausted from decades of dieting, yet still find themselves stuck in the same cycle of self-sabotaging patterns such as binging and emotional eating. Most women have tried every approach but still end up stuck in unproductive and unhealthy patterns. McNally, through personal experience, sees that the deeper issue isn’t motivation; rather, relentless conditioning from diet culture continues to enforce unhealthy weight goals.
“I spent far too many years of my life stuck in the yo-yo dieting cycle, always chasing a smaller body and never feeling truly at peace with food or myself,” says McNally. “After my mum passed, I used hypnotherapy to support my own emotional healing, and it helped me become the healthiest, strongest version of myself.”
Through subconscious rewiring and practical habit change, Rewired for Longevity helps women move away from diet culture conditioning and begin living as the version of themselves who naturally takes care of their health. Rewired for Longevity doesn’t start with a meal plan – it starts with an identity shift. Over the course of the programme, habits around food, movement, sleep and stress begin to feel simply part of who a woman is, rather than something she has to force.
Clients who experience McNally’s hypnotherapy and longevity work have described it as life-changing. The shift happens at a subconscious level, not through force or restriction. Anxiety around food settles, sleep improves, and the constant mental “food noise” that once drove mindless eating begins to fade. Women finally find themselves making healthier choices without relying on willpower.
Through Rewired for Longevity, women can finally achieve their weight loss goals. This time, the weight comes off as a side effect of who they’ve become, not a result of unhealthy actions. As their identity shifts and healthy habits integrate naturally into daily life, their body responds without the cycle of restriction and rebound that defined their past.
McNally adds: “I’m on a mission to help women stop wasting any more time trapped in the endless cycle of dieting. When we shift from chasing skinny to chasing health, we don’t just add years to our life, we add life to our years.”
This high-touch experience is for women who want to prioritise their long-term health, energy and longevity while finally achieving the lasting change they’ve been seeking. Women who are ready to start their health-first identity journey can book their place on Rewired for Longevity 12-week one-to-one programme, designed to help them permanently shift the patterns that have kept them stuck.
Founded by Caroline McNally, CazMcNazHypnotherapy focuses on prioritizing longevity through subconscious improvements and building healthy habits. With extensive experience as a hypnotherapist, longevity coach, and biomedical scientist, McNally creates a supportive environment for women to reach their health goals.

Her integrative approach teaches women how to support the body strategically to achieve measurable, lasting results. By addressing sleep, stress, nourishment, and movement, the body can finally respond the way it was designed to.
Women over 40 are not unmotivated; rather, they’re overwhelmed and under-supported. Despite their best efforts, many are navigating midlife shifts in energy, sleep, stress tolerance, and metabolism without clear, trustworthy guidance. After witnessing this struggle herself, Busa created CexeCells Longevity Rituals – she saw the need to replace confusion and quick fixes with structured, science-informed support that finally makes sense for this stage of life.

Busa encourages women to adopt sustainable practices, such as structured wind-down routines and supportive nutrition choices, to build a lifestyle that feels stronger, clearer, and more aligned.
Busa’s methodology is deeply informed by her own transformation journey. Through working with her own longevity coach, she has experienced measurable improvements in energy, sleep quality, stress regulation, and daily resilience — all while balancing the real-life demands of running two jobs and managing a full household. Her experience reinforces what she now teaches clients: lasting change happens through consistent, synergistic habits supported by accountability and community.

Longevity Strategist Helps Women Over 40 Regain Energy and Vitality Through Food, Movement, Sleep and Stress Management to Live the Life of Their Dreams
Kirkland, WA
Longevity strategist Michelle Carpenter is launching her small group Longevity Coaching program to help midlife women stop chasing trends and instead follow a science-backed, sustainable strategy that protects their future health. Carpenter’s program brings together like-minded women in an intimate group setting to support goal pursuit. This Longevity Coaching creates real community support with women in the same stage of life.
Right now, women over 40 are losing energy and muscle mass. They are noticing that they don't feel like themselves, and they are worried about breaking down as they age. They are constantly tired and fearful that they’ll lose the ability to do the activities they love with the people they care about as they get older.
“I have been watching my mother devote her life to taking care of my 101 year old grandmother for the last 12 years, which makes this work personal for me,” shares Carpenter. “Being given the gift of old age means nothing if the last 20 years of your life are spent immobile in pain, which is why I want to change the trajectory of my clients’ life.”
Carpenter’s Longevity Coaching program is unique to each client – each plan is personally tailored from the beginning. This isn't a quick fix program; rather, Carpenter works directly with clients to slowly build long-term, sustainable habits that will eventually be incorporated into daily life for decades to come. For women who are tired of chasing trends, "starting over" and not making any progress, this program will significantly improve their lives.

Patricia Koziol Coaching
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Boston Longevity Coach Introduces Personalized Longevity Plan to Improve Long-Term Health for Women Over 35
Boston, MA, DATE
Patricia Koziol, a certified longevity coach, has developed the “From Cell to Soul Method,” a personalized framework designed to help women over 35 rebuild their bodies from the inside out. Through education, personalized guidance, and sustainable habit-building, Koziol aims to help women rebuild how their body absorbs, uses, and responds to nutrients.
“Women over 35 no longer know what to do to feel better in their own bodies. They are making an effort to take care of themselves, yet feel overwhelmed, confused about their eating habits, how to stay active, and how to stay consistent while navigating the demands of daily life. Over time, this leads to frustration, self-doubt, and leaves them stuck in a cycle of starting over,” says Koziol.
"I’ve experienced how confusing it feels when your body stops responding the way it used to,” says Koziol. “Once women understand how their bodies respond to food, movement, sleep, and stress, they can rebuild their health and confidence in a way that lasts. That’s what drives my work.”
The “From Cell to Soul Method” goes beyond traditional longevity plans. Instead of focusing on weight loss, her approach targets how the body absorbs, uses, and responds to nutrients by prioritizing gut health, nutrient absorption, metabolic function, and muscle development over calorie restriction. Through consistent habits, nutrient-dense nutrition, and strength-building, she helps women create lasting health, energy, confidence, and long-term independence. Clients report more consistent daily habits, improved digestion, reduced bloating, inflammation, and joint pain, along with greater clarity around how to nourish their bodies properly.

Patricia Koziol is a certified longevity coach with advanced training in digestive health, focused on helping women improve how their bodies use and respond to nutrients.

Theresa Brim Coaching
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Longevity Systems Coach Introduces Strategic Approach to Aging Well for Women Over 50.
Crestview, FL
Theresa Brim, founder of Theresa Brim Coaching, is leading a new movement in longevity to provide women over 50 with clear strategies to thrive during their later years and change how they think about aging. Instead of chasing hacks, Brim is using a practical, science-informed framework to help clients build thoughtful, structured systems that last.
Many women reach midlife and realize the things that used to work for their health are no longer effective. After years of taking care of careers, families, and responsibilities, they feel tired and start to worry about what the future will look like. Despite trying various unsuccessful programs and plans, they are still searching for something that truly helps them build strength and stability for the long term. Brim, who has experienced this first-hand, wants to change the narrative of decline and help women feel confident that they can age with capability, clarity, and purpose.
“I see too many women quietly accepting that decline is inevitable,” says Brim. “However, I don't believe that has to be the story. Midlife can be a powerful turning point when women begin to invest in their long-term strength, health, and independence.”
Brim’s approach stands out from other longevity plans because she sees longevity as preparation for the decades ahead, not a short-term health fix. Many health programs focus on weight loss, quick transformations, or short programs designed to produce fast results; however, Brim’s framework is built for the long game. Her coaching style is grounded in clarity, steady progress, and deep understanding, not pressure, extremes, or one-size-fits-all prescriptions.
