The American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) supports this decision and hereby extends this recognition to the United States.<br />
<br />
The COVID-19 pandemic has showcased the critical role midwives play in keeping people healthy across the lifespan. It has also exposed the weaknesses in our healthcare systems and the enormous challenges midwives face every day, as well as shined a light on their incredible commitment and courage. Finally, it has given us the opportunity to reconsider and explore models of care that center midwifery care. As the world's oldest profession, midwives must play an integral part in the future of the world's healthcare.<br />
<br />
2021 also kicks off the "Decade of the Midwife" (2021-2030), an initiative led by the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM). We are at a pivotal point in history, and the actions we take over the next ten years will determine the future direction of healthcare. This initiative will aim to highlight the role of midwives as gender champions in their communities and disseminate evidence about the vital need for midwives to transform quality sexual and reproductive healthcare for a sustainable future.<br />
<br />
"We are thrilled to extend the Year of the Nurse and the Midwife and kick off the Decade of the Midwife," stated ACNM President, Cathy Collins-Fulea, DNP, CNM, FACNM. "Given the critical roles midwives have played in the COVID-19 pandemic, now more than ever there is a need to celebrate, uplift, and center midwives in the conversation about improved healthcare."<br />
<br />
ACNM's goals for the Decade of the Midwife center around four categories: practice, education, research, and policy. This initiative will integrate seamlessly with our strategic goals, mission, campaigns, and contributions over the next ten years. By focusing on how we can center the midwife in the fight for equitable and sustainable global healthcare, we can work to achieve sexual and reproductive health and rights for all.<br />
<br />
About ACNM<br />
<br />
With over 6,500 members, ACNM is the professional association that represents certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) and certified midwives (CMs) in the United States. ACNM promotes excellence in midwifery education, clinical practice, and research. With roots dating to 1929, our members are primary care providers for women throughout the lifespan, with a special emphasis on pregnancy, childbirth, and gynecologic and reproductive health. ACNM provides research, administers, and promotes continuing education programs, establishes education and clinical practice standards, and creates liaisons with state and federal agencies and members of Congress to increase the visibility and recognition of midwifery care. <br />

North America's lineup of top-selling articulating video borescopes caught the attention of two of their newest clients, a manufacturer of oceanographic measurement equipment and a global energy supplier.  <br />
<br />
A Production Engineer for an oceanographic equipment manufacturing company sought a new visual inspection tool to assist with product design. It was essential the borescope feature brighter lighting and an improved image quality than their current borescope was equipped with. Through ViewTech Borescopes no-cost, no-obligation demo offer, their Washington based facility was able to trial a VJ-3 2.8mm x 1.0-meter video borescope. <br />
<br />
With hands-on experience utilizing the VJ-3, the ViewTech borescope documented areas not visually accessible during previous remote visual inspections (RVI). The decision to purchase was easy to quantify by their engineering team. <br />
<br />
Another of ViewTech's newest clients, a global energy supplier, was not able to complete necessary inspections. With their current borescope too large to access chiller tubes, it was critical they purchase an inspection tool specifically for this application. After researching new borescopes for sale, they immediately considered ViewTech's VJ-3 video borescope. The video borescope requirements their Operations & Maintenance Supervisor deemed crucial were: 360-degree articulation, more than 20 feet of insertion tube, and a diameter smaller than half of one inch. The borescope experts at ViewTech recommended they trial a VJ-3 Dual Camera. While many borescopes use side view attachments or interchangeable viewing angle tips, with the ViewTech Dual Camera borescope, simply pushing a button toggles between front-view and side-view cameras. After their free demo VJ-3 Dual Camera was onsite and chiller tube inspections complete, the ViewTech video borescope was purchased by their O&M Supervisor. <br />
<br />
VJ-3 Video Borescope<br />
<br />
The VJ-3 mechanical articulating video borescope is a NDT instrument used for the RVI of machinery, equipment, and components. The VJ-3 facilitates the visual recording and photo documentation of inspection and components in areas that are otherwise inaccessible or require great effort and expense to access directly. The VJ-3 video borescope consists of two modules integrated into one system: an insertion tube with distally mounted camera/LEDs, and the base unit with a control panel, LCD monitor, power source, and all necessary circuitry.<br />
<br />
About ViewTech Borescopes<br />
<br />
ViewTech Borescopes, founded as RF System Lab in 2008, is North America's #1 seller of video borescopes. Their first product, the VJ borescope, set a new standard for portability, ergonomics, and ease-of-use, with its industry-first mechanical, joystick-controlled articulation. <br />

With a newly unexpected empty calendar, The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra focused its attention on recording. <br />
<br />
Jeremy Davis and Clay Johnson took their band to the NFS Ranch in Elkton, Florida, during Summer 2020 to record original songs and original arrangements of popular songs. They recorded 26 songs that are separated into three albums. The first album released this year is entitled "Bridge." <br />
<br />
Most musicians and performers were caught off guard when their "well" went dry. Jeremy and Clay took the occasion to dig a new well. Exciting opportunities arose as the well began to take shape. From virtual shows in an empty theater to socially distanced neighborhood block parties, The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra has been able to work while many were forced to sit at home.<br />
<br />
Perhaps the greatest opportunity to arise is the band's Hollywood debut. Four songs on the album are featured in the Universal Pictures movie Courting Mom & Dad, starring Scott Baio and Kristy Swanson, that was released in February. The film is directed by Anna Zielinski, a childhood friend of Jeremy and Clay. <br />
<br />
"BRIDGE is an album that connects our band's history with its future; from the Great American Songbook to original tunes. I love this collection of new music and fresh arrangements!" said Tommy Brinson, musical director.<br />
<br />
"Wow, what a band! These guys put on one amazing program!" said Brian Laczko, Executive Director, Carson Center, Paducah, KY.<br />
<br />
"A real class act! Undoubtedly the best concert I've attended in years. I found myself totally caught up in the [sic] experience," said Tommy Usrey, CEO, Northeast Louisiana Arts Council<br />
<br />
"Bridge" is now available for purchase as a CD at https://equinoxorchestra.com/ or on all streaming platforms. <br />

<br />
"The business serves as more than just a way to support my family," he shares. "Over the years, it's also become the source of so many memories I've created with family and friends. I had to hold on tight. I knew my kids would have been disappointed if I didn't." <br />
<br />
Historically, Main Street Cinemas is known for playing the latest blockbusters in all genres. It's screened everything from "Star Wars" and Marvel's "Avengers" to "Toy Story," "Saw" and more. <br />
<br />
And, 2021 is shaping up well too. It has an exciting line-up of movies to kick off its grand re-opening to include: "Raya and The Last Dragon," "Chaos Walking," "Tom & Jerry," "Boogie," "Wonder Woman 1984," "The Little Things," and "Croods: A New Age."<br />
<br />
"My staff and I can't wait to see our regular customers again and to meet some new people too. Something tells me this year's just going to keep getting better," Toolasprashad says. <br />
<br />
Ticket prices for 2D movies are $11 for adults and $8 for children/seniors. Daily, noon matinees are $6. 3D movies are $14 for adults and $11 for children/seniors. <br />
<br />
Main Street Cinemas is located at: 72-66, Main Street, Queens, N.Y. 11367. <br />

(Mid America) announced today it has launched Click n' Close Title, a digital-first residential title insurance company, to deliver more comprehensive digital mortgage closing services to the residential real estate market. Licensed in six states (Texas, Ohio, Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan and Virginia) with more on the way, Click n' Close Title utilizes a completely digital process to deliver a consistent, modernized mortgage closing ceremony for all parties involved.<br />
<br />
"Having been a digital-first mortgage lending shop since 2016, we've observed first-hand the power of technology to transform the archaic, painful homebuying process into one with less friction and more emphasis on convenience for the consumer," said Mid America Owner and CEO Jeff Bode. "Title represents the final piece of this puzzle from the consumer experience perspective, and in in the interest of furthering our commitment to modernizing the mortgage process, we felt the time was right to extend our knowledge to the title side of the transaction with the launch of Click n' Close Title." <br />
<br />
Powered by remote online notarization (RON) technology, Click n' Close delivers 100% paperless closings that improve efficiency and reduce delays in processing closing documents. Its RON process permits the borrower to schedule an online video conference with a notary, giving them ultimate control over where and when they sign their closing documents utilizing SSL encryption to ensure security. This also allows the borrower to review their closing documents before signing in most cases so that they can ask questions or consult with a trusted advisor prior to closing day. Once the documents are signed, funding occurs within 10 minutes rather than the traditional two hours after signing.<br />
<br />
"Buying a home is one of the most nerve-wracking financial experiences a consumer will undertake, and with the advancements in technology available today, there is simply no reason to add to the stress of this important event by remaining committed to a paper-driven, in-person closing ceremony," said Nicki Compary, General Counsel and Director of Title Operations of Click n' Close Title. "With the completely digital process we've established at Click n' Close Title, borrowers real estate agents and mortgage lenders can all expect a smooth, hassle-free process that is designed to delight."<br />
<br />

Video Banking ATMs have replaced the more traditional ATMs at the Bank's Mystic and Niantic walk-ups, and New London, Norwichtown and Norwich-Westside drive-ups, with additional locations coming this year. They offer the ability to speak directly with a local bank representative, in addition to typical ATM functions. Instead of inserting a card into the machine to make a simple withdrawal or deposit, users can touch the screen in order to be connected live to a video banker, who will assist with banking transactions, loan payments, cashing a check down to the penny, and many other tasks that would normally be completed inside a branch, during a live conversation on screen.<br />
<br />
For those asking, "Why not just use an ATM?" here are a few reasons these tools will benefit the Bank's members:<br />
<br />
1. No Debit Card or PIN Needed - Since a member is connecting face-to-face with a banker, members can verify their identity by providing a license or answering security questions if they've forgotten their debit card or PIN.<br />
<br />
2. Banking Questions Answered - While you can't complete tasks that require signatures through the Video Banking ATM, members can ask financial questions, update account information, and so much more.<br />
<br />
3. Enhanced Withdrawal and Deposit Features - Video Banking ATMs allow members to cash a check to the penny, receive cash in smaller denominations, have higher withdrawal limits, and transactions post immediately so a balance is available in real-time. <br />
<br />
4. Extended Hours - Chelsea Groton's Video Banking team is available to assist members at walk-up and drive-up Video Banking ATMs Monday - Saturday, before and after traditional banking hours. <br />
<br />
VIDEO BANKING APP<br />
<br />
In addition to Video Banking ATMs, Chelsea Groton has also partnered with POPio Mobile Video Cloud (POPi/o), the industry's first interactive mobile video banking solution, to offer members an app similar to FaceTime or TeleHealth. Because of the added capabilities and built-in security features, bankers and members are able to share and sign documents, review proposals together and more, all during the live video call from a member's phone, tablet, or computer.<br />
<br />
"We've already had experiences where, due to travel restrictions, members were unable to meet at a branch to sign documentation. We were able to have a meeting through the Video Banking App that allowed all parties to connect, converse and sign documents. This wouldn't have been feasible without the Video Banking App," explained Pensa.<br />
<br />
Members can schedule a video call with any of the Chelsea|LIVE Video Bankers, or with a specific banker or department.<br />

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="image"><img width="696" height="522" src="https://www.send2press.com/wire/images/send2press-health-696x522.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="HEALTH NEWS via Send2Press Newswire" loading="lazy" /></p><p>CARROLTON, Ga., Mar 04, 2021 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Across Healthcare announces the eDocSS app, an EHR integrated application that allows surgeons and institutions to comply with new Commission on Cancer Synoptic Operative Report Standards. Evidence-based research indicates that surgical outcomes related to cancer patients such as quality of life and survival can be improved by adhering to specific operative techniques. In addition, replacing narrative operative dictations with synoptic operative reports can improve the capture of vital cancer surgery information. With these facts in mind, the 2020 Commission on Cancer (CoC) standards for accreditation now require synoptic operative reports (SORs) for four new operative standards that span colon, breast, and melanoma surgery.<br />
<br />
To facilitate implementation of these operative standards, Across Healthcare co-developed the electronic Documentation of Surgery Standards (eDocSS) app with the American College of Surgeons (ACS). This app, which is embedded into electronic health records (EHRs), provides surgeons with ACS-developed Synoptic Operative Reports (SORs) that include evidence-based data fields, linkages to appropriate coding standards, and detailed explanatory notes to facilitate accurate completion of the report. Across Healthcare is working closely with EHR vendors to embed the app using a standards-based SMART on FHIR framework, that aligns with the 21st Century Cures Act final rule, to speed implementation and adoption. <br />
<br />
"As one of the most advanced cancer centers in the country, Helen F. Graham Cancer Center within the Christiana Care Health System, was honored to be the initial site for the eDocSS app," said Dr. Karen Louie, Breast Surgeon. "With the app embedded into our Cerner PowerChart, this makes completing a synoptic operative report very efficient for our surgeons."<br />
<br />
The eDocSS application includes the following:<br />
<br />
* Auto-population - Pre-existing fields are pulled from the patient record, and the surgeon needs only to verify the information or edit as needed.<br />
<br />
* CoC Standards - Fulfills the synoptic operative reporting requirements for the Commission on Cancer 2020 operative standards 5.3 through 5.6.<br />
<br />
* American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM Staging System - TNM categories are incorporated into any data fields related to staging.<br />
<br />
* National Cancer Database (NCDB) Codes - Select NCDB codes and definitions from the Standards for Oncology Registry Entry (STORE) manual that are relevant to the data fields in the app.<br />
<br />
* EHR Integration - eDocSS uses SMART on FHIR and will be integrated with top EHR vendors. This application is not a standalone app, but rather uses Single Sign On (SSO) and embeds inside the workflow of the EHR.<br />
<br />
"We were blessed to work closely with the experts at ACS as well as many surgeons across the country to develop the eDocSS app," said Jason Colquitt, CEO of Across Healthcare. "Our focus will now shift to supporting the more than 1,500 CoC accredited cancer programs that need to comply with the new CoC operative standards." <br />
<br />
Currently, there are three SORs available in the eDocSS app. The ACS CSSP (Cancer Surgery Standards Program) team is planning to develop over 45 SORs that will all be available within eDocSS as they are released. Additional management and maintenance of the SORs within eDocSS will be handled by Across Healthcare. The eDocSS app is available to both CoC and non-CoC surgeons and institutions. <br />

(IDS), announced today it has once again been selected for inclusion on the HW Tech100 list, an annual list of the top technology companies in the mortgage and real estate sectors as determined by industry trade publication HousingWire. 2021 marks IDS' seventh year on the Tech100 list.<br />
<br />
According to the publication, the "unequalled customization and superior customer service" IDS delivers to mortgage lenders, as well as its "eSignatures, closing documents, initial disclosures, document fulfillment and integration with leading loan origination systems and eClosing platforms" earned it another spot on the Tech 100 Mortgage list. The idsDoc platform also includes nearly 3,000 unique audits covering state, federal and investor requirements to ensure compliant, defect-free documents, and the firm's eClosing capabilities enable lenders to deliver a more modern mortgage closing experience.<br />
<br />
"At IDS, our technology is designed with the end-user in mind, and we strive to deliver the features and functionality lenders need most in today's mortgage market so that our clients can focus less on the mechanics and more on what matters most - the borrower," said IDS Vice President and General Manager Mark Mackey. "On behalf of IDS, I'd like to thank HousingWire for recognizing us as a tech leader worthy of inclusion on this year's Tech100."<br />
<br />
According to the publication, "The Tech100 program provides housing professionals with a list of the most innovative and impactful companies that can be leveraged to identify partners and solutions to the problems that mortgage lenders and real estate professionals face every day... For the second year in a row, the Tech100 program was divided into the HW Tech100 Mortgage and the HW Tech100 Real Estate to highlight the innovation and achievements of organizations within both sectors."<br />
<br />
"After the uncertainty and unpredictability of last year, we expected a greater adoption of technology. However, these 100 real estate and mortgage companies took digital disruption to a whole new level and propelled a complete digital revolution, leaving a digital legacy that will impact borrowers, clients and companies for years to come," said Brena Nath, HousingWire's HW+ Managing Editor. "Knowing what these companies were able to navigate and overcome, we're excited to announce this year's list of the most innovative technology companies serving the mortgage and real estate industries." <br />

And while she may have been the victim in the incident, her attitude is far from someone who's giving in to her attacker. <br />
<br />
"After the attack happened, I started researching acid attacks and was stunned to find that I was not alone here," she says. "There are many people who have suffered similar injuries."<br />
<br />
In fact, acid attacks happen across the world with a disproportionate impact on women. According to Acid Survivors Trust International (A.S.T.I.), acid attacks reflect and perpetuate discrimination of women and girls in society, and is prohibited by international law. However, all too often, it's a crime that goes unreported and unpunished because survivors of acid attacks live in fear of reprisals for reporting the attack.<br />
<br />
Acid causes the skin and flesh tissue to melt. Survivors face permanent disfigurement and often social isolation - devastating their self-esteem and psychological well-being. A survivor needs immediate specialist medical treatment as well as possible sanctuary, reconstructive surgery, follow-up physiotherapy, counseling and long-term support. Often dozens of surgical procedures are required. <br />
<br />
"Many people who experience such an attack have a difficult time regaining confidence and even leaving the house," she says. "It's just so emotionally difficult. I can relate and have worked to rebuild my life," she explains. <br />
<br />
When Kambod posted some photos and explained the incident on her Facebook page, she received an onslaught of comments and questions related to acid attacks. So, she decided she wanted to focus some of her attention on raising awareness about the subject in the U.S.<br />
<br />
Kambod immigrated to the U.S. from Russia, where she was a model and beauty contest winner. She's been in the U.S. for 10 years and is a law school graduate, working to pass the BAR. She plans to concentrate her practice on helping women and men who have been the victims of domestic violence and abuse. <br />
<br />
"I don't want to be seen as a victim," she says. I'm a survivor."<br />

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="image"><img width="696" height="522" src="https://www.send2press.com/wire/images/21-0303s2p-aviv-logo-696x522.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Aviv Clinics" loading="lazy" /></p><p>SUMTER COUNTY, Fla., Mar 03, 2021 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Despite U.S. Baby Boomers having the longest life expectancy in history [1], their brains are aging at a faster rate than previous generations, according to a recent Ohio State University nationwide study [2]. For Boomers, the first generation to show cognition regression, research indicates that wealth and education have no equitable bearings on brain function. Currently ranging from ages 62 to 72 (born 1948-1959) and primed for a lengthy and enriching retirement, the feared complexities of living an increasingly longer life - but with a quickly declining brain - is evitable for those able and willing to invest in advanced treatments, such as the Aviv Medical Program. <br />
<br />
Living better, longer<br />
<br />
Spawning the longevity movement are societal concerns associated with a population in which older people outnumber the young - a historical first, projected for 2025 in the U.S., when seniors (65 million) will surpass children age 13 and under (58 million). Recognizing global impacts of an aging population, the United Nations General Assembly has declared 2021-2030 the Decade of Healthy Ageing, an initiative dedicated to improving the lives of older people, their families and the communities in which they live.<br />
<br />
Progress abounds and none too soon. Bioscience researchers are developing promising medical treatment options to give people longer lasting cognitive function enabling optimum health later in life. Just last month (February 2021), a Bloomberg Moonshot episode, the network's global news streaming program, dedicated an entire episode to medical advancements that are already in practice and scientifically-proven to treat the aging process - ultimately, circumventing age-related diseases - as explained by leading researchers from Harvard Medical School and Aviv Scientific. <br />
<br />
Of those discussed, the Aviv Medical Program, a proprietary protocol concentrated in hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), is attracting affluent, active Boomers from all over the world. Results from a landmark study, published in the peer-review journal Aging [3], indicate that upon completing the three-month program participant bodies changed at cellular level - equivalent to 25 years earlier - among healthy adults age 64 or older.  This proven treatment is readily available and presents opportunity to improve and restore cognitive function such as memory, attention, speed of information processing and more.<br />
<br />
"Until now, biologically preserving and restoring healthy brain function was unavailable. Today, there's finally an individualized brain health program that actually assesses and changes the physiology of the brain," said Mohammed Elamir, M.D., board-certified physician at Aviv Clinics. "This will enable people to take control of the trajectory of their health span. Protecting your independence, mobility, vitality and personality can be by choice - not by chance."<br />
<br />
For Boomers embarking on the third age - ready to redefine retirement with energy, mobility, independence and healthy brain performance, the Aviv Medical Program is a substantial investment cost in improving quality of life today and maintaining it for years to come. Outside of Israel, the treatment is only available at the Aviv Clinics medical center located in Central Florida. <br />
<br />

Aviv Clinics is now open and accepting new clients looking to improve and maintain cognitive acuity and physical performance. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call (352) 488-2848 or visit https://aviv-clinics.com/.<br />

This seminal text approaches the topic of breast enhancement in an informal but educational manner, making the subject of breast augmentation accessible and interesting to all. <br />
<br />
Dr. Buford's hope is for The Boob Job Bible to be an informative resource for anyone seeking breast enhancement and for it to clear up the many questions, mistruths, and fables that women have encountered across the internet, through their friends, and even from medical providers. If you're thinking of augmenting your breasts with implants, you're joining scores of happy, fulfilled women on this journey. <br />
<br />
There are many nuances that go into finding an outstanding surgeon, including choosing the right implants, timing your procedure, and ensuring a safe and healthy recovery. Whether you're just now familiarizing yourself with the term "breast augmentation" or you're well on your way to choosing implants, The Boob Job Bible is an invaluable resource.<br />
<br />
According to Dr. Buford: "In the past, breast enhancement has been somewhat of a taboo subject, but this is no longer the case. Now, women from all walks of life are joining the long list of satisfied patients who have undergone breast augmentation to enhance their appearance and increase their confidence. <br />
<br />
"Without your support, all of us at BEAUTY by BUFORD would never have accomplished everything we have accomplished over the last 20 years. And so I humbly dedicate this book to all of our wonderful patients who have made us who we are today. We hope you enjoy the expertise throughout this book. Thank you!"<br />

The number of students in the Kids Read Now program continues to grow with almost 400,000 books being mailed to students in 2020 alone!<br />
<br />
Most students will experience reading skill loss over a typical summer break from school. Creating home libraries is key to preventing a steep learning slide due to summer break and recent extended school closures. "Everyone wins when schools enable parents to eradicate learning loss for K-3 students over the summer. Many of those students gain up to 2.5 months of learning during the 12-week summer break," said Leib Lurie, CEO of Kids Read Now.<br />
<br />
"It was a great way for my students to receive quality books that they could keep and read! It also helped motivate them throughout the summer to read!" said Amanda J., Classroom Teacher, ECU Community Schools.<br />
<br />
The Kids Read Now K-3 summer reading program mails eight new books to students and includes exciting multicultural, fiction, and nonfiction titles loved by children. Mailing books builds ongoing enthusiasm but does not require in-home technology. Each book includes guided discussion questions to help improve reading skills and increase family engagement. The ninth book of beautifully illustrated creative writing prompts concludes the program so children can write their own stories. Best of all, kids keep their new books!<br />
<br />
Kids Read Now is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the singular mission to eliminate learning loss for all K-3 students. <br />

In January 2020, Everra first introduced three innovative skincare products - the Everra Face Serum, Everra Eye Serum, and Everra InstaLast Serum - powered by the Swiss Red Love Apple. Since then, the company has quickly expanded its product line by developing and introducing more than 120 different products that include color cosmetics, an innovative cordless cosmetic airbrush system, adhesive and magnetic eyelash extensions, and a broad range of wellness nutritionals and vitamin supplement stick packs. <br />
<br />
Everra promotes positive culture through products like the "I Am" series of Magnetic and Adhesive Lux Lashes. These products are named after positive affirmations that empower the user, such as "I Am Beautiful," "I Am Strong," and "I Am Enough" Lux Lashes. Each month a new lash is released with a new "I Am" affirmation. In October, for instance, they released the "I Am A Survivor" Lux Lash to support Breast Cancer Awareness. For February, they launched the "I Am Loveable" Lux Lash along with a campaign to encourage women to embrace that they are loveable and to support the self-love movement. <br />
<br />
"We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished in our first twelve months and are grateful for the incredible community of more than 13,000 Influencers that empower and inspire our customers around the world," said Chris Welch, President and CEO. "We offer an ever-growing line-up of both beauty and wellness products, which is why we say Everra is where inner health meets outer beauty."<br />
