DENVER, Colo., June 11, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — AgingIN, a nonprofit advancing innovation in eldercare, is hosting a Longevity Summit that will unite leading voices in senior living, healthcare, and aging research to explore how communities can better support longer, healthier lives. Featuring keynote speaker Dr. Shelly Chadha of the World Health Organization, the summit will be held Aug. 10 and is part of AgingIN’s annual conference, Peak Purpose: Redefining How We Live and Age, which runs through Aug. 13.

At the summit, Dr. Chadha will discuss the WHO’s focus on practical ways senior living organizations can operationalize healthspan principles using evidence-based frameworks. Using its Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) community-based approach, organizations can work to preserve functional ability through early intervention in areas such as mobility, cognition, nutrition, vision, hearing, and emotional well-being.

According to a newly released national survey from Ziegler, 85.8% of senior living leaders say healthspan will be “very important” to the next generation of residents, reflecting growing demand for communities that support mobility, brain health, independence, social connection, and preventative care. The findings point to a major shift in how operators are thinking about aging, wellness, and long-term resident engagement.

The Ziegler research found that senior living leaders most closely associate healthspan with:

• Healthy aging (81.8%)
• Independence (77.3%)
• Mobility (74.5%)
• Brain health (72.7%)
• Strength and physical function (65.5%)
• Social connection (53.6%)

“Closing the gap between healthspan and lifespan is one of the most important opportunities in aging today. It’s not enough to simply add years to life; we must add life to those years. This means reimagining senior living as a place where people can maintain purpose, independence, and well-being for as long as possible,” said Susan Ryan, AgingIN CEO. “At AgingIN, we are committed to helping organizations move beyond longevity as a metric and toward quality of life as the true measure of success.”

The survey also revealed that organizations are already investing in healthspan-focused initiatives, including strength and mobility programs, cognitive engagement, fall prevention, preventative health assessments, purpose-driven programming, and lifestyle interventions designed to maintain function and reduce decline.

Yet significant challenges remain. More than 60% of respondents cited workforce capacity as the biggest barrier to expanding healthspan initiatives, while nearly half identified uncertainty around cost and return on investment.

Topics at the summit include:

• The global healthspan framework shaping the future of aging
• Practical strategies to embed well-being into care delivery
• How healthspan influences consumer preference and market relevance
• Workforce well-being as a driver of retention and quality outcomes
• Memory care and higher acuity applications rooted in dignity
• Lifestyle interventions that help prevent decline
• Innovation models that translate research into operational results
• Scalable actions organizations can implement immediately

Registration is now open for interested senior living executives, clinicians, wellness leaders, operators, board members, and professionals interested in the future of aging services. To learn more and secure your spot, visit: https://aginginnovation.org/events/annual-conference/.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., June 11, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Serenity Living Home Care announced the opening of its second residential care home in Palm Beach Gardens, responding to a growing waitlist of Palm Beach County families searching for a more personal alternative to traditional nursing facilities.

The first location reached full capacity and a waitlist formed quickly. The families calling had the same thing in common: they wanted something smaller, more personal, and more attentive than what most facilities offer. A home where staff know each resident by name, where meals are cooked fresh, and where care is not driven by a one-size-fits-all policy. Serenity Living built that with its first location. The second one exists because the demand never stopped.

“When your first home fills up with people you genuinely love caring for, you know you’re doing something right and you know more families out there still need this,” said Stephanie Heredia, Administrator of Serenity Living Home Care. “This second location is for every family that called us and had to wait. That wait is over.”

Both Palm Beach Gardens homes keep resident numbers intentionally small. Staff have time to sit with someone having a quiet morning and ask how they are doing. Care plans are written around each individual, not a facility-wide policy. Services include personal care assistance, medication management and daily activities shaped around what each resident actually enjoys.

For families currently in that exhausting search, the new location is now open and accepting inquiries. Tours are available and every question is welcome at the Palm Beach Gardens residential care page: https://www.serenitylivingalf.com/residential-care-palm-beach-gardens-fl/.

Industry analyst Elliot Maras will also be attending the event, conducting interviews and gathering insights for post-show coverage and market analysis.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Data from the HotDeals Consumer Savings Index indicates that code-level verification is reshaping how consumers interact with online coupons. Two weeks after launch, the verification system now covers more than 38,000 merchant pages and over 400,000 promo codes across 23 international markets.

The expansion signals a shift in consumer expectations: shoppers increasingly look for evidence that a code works before attempting to apply it at checkout, rather than relying on trial and error.

KEY FINDINGS

According to the HotDeals Consumer Savings Index:

• Verification coverage: The system tracks 400,000+ promo codes across 38,000+ merchant pages in 23 markets. In the U.S. alone, 15,422 merchant pages and 217,129 codes are monitored.
• Consumer trust signals: Of all tracked codes in the U.S., approximately 35,000 currently meet the threshold to display verification badges, backed by nearly 3.7 million savings records collected from real transactions.
• Geographic variation: France (4,177 merchants, 32,403 codes) and Germany (4,694 merchants, 37,140 codes) represent the largest European coverage, with the U.K. (5,835 merchants, 43,628 codes) leading in merchant count outside the U.S.
• Global savings data: Across all 23 markets, the system has accumulated nearly 9 million savings records within two weeks, providing a growing dataset for code validation.

MARKET COVERAGE

Top five markets by verification coverage:

• United States: 15,422 merchants, 217,129 codes
• United Kingdom: 5,835 merchants, 43,628 codes
• Germany: 4,694 merchants, 37,140 codes
• France: 4,177 merchants, 32,403 codes
• Australia: 1,393 merchants, 9,487 codes

Additional markets include Canada, Brazil, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Poland, Denmark, Japan, and 10 others across Europe and Asia-Pacific.

HOW CODE VERIFICATION WORKS

The HotDeals Consumer Savings Index draws from two independent data streams:

1. Aggregated Transaction Outcomes — The system tracks which codes produce confirmed results at checkout, scoring each code based on recent activity frequency across the platform.
2. Brand Expert Testing — Category-specific testers validate codes directly on merchant websites, confirming discount amounts, eligibility conditions, and active status.

Codes meeting both thresholds receive a verification indicator visible to shoppers before they attempt to use the code.

WHY IT MATTERS

A significant portion of promo codes listed across the web are expired, restricted, or no longer functional. This creates a negative experience for consumers who spend time testing codes that ultimately fail at checkout.

Code Verification addresses this trust gap by surfacing real transaction data alongside each listing, allowing consumers to make informed decisions about which codes to try.

“The pattern we observe is consistent across markets,” noted the HotDeals Research Team. “Consumers want evidence that a discount works, not just a promise. Verification changes the coupon experience from guesswork to informed selection.”

About HotDeals

HotDeals (https://www.hotdeals.com/) is a verified coupon platform where real users test promo codes so shoppers don’t have to. The HotDeals Consumer Savings Index tracks coupon effectiveness and consumer savings behavior across 23 countries.

MESA, Ariz., June 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Edupoint® Educational Systems today announced that Synergy® Education Platform has been selected as winner of the “Next-Gen School Solution of the Year” award in the 8th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.

Synergy Education Platform is a modern K–12 student data management system built to connect insight to action across the full student lifecycle. With a single, unified data model underlying student information, teaching and learning, student support, district operations, and analytics, Synergy gives districts a seamless foundation for managing daily work, improving visibility, and supporting timely decisions.

Built around four natively connected solution areas—Core SIS, Teaching & Learning, Student Support, and District Productivity—Synergy provides one source of truth and one access point for the role-based tools and real-time information needed for daily operations, classroom instruction, student services, communication, and reporting.

Synergy connects teaching and learning with the broader student lifecycle by tying curriculum, instruction, grading, and performance data directly to the student record and related workflows. Teachers can use real-time gradebook, LMS, and assessment data to identify learning needs, adjust instruction, and connect students to additional support when needed.

That same shared data supports coordinated student services across MTSS, 504, and special education processes. Because instructional context, intervention history, documentation, and progress data stay with the student, educators and support teams can work from complete, current information as needs change over time—and classroom teachers can continue supporting students with the right context in view.

Across district operations, Synergy extends that same connected foundation to administrative workflows, communication, program management, and reporting. Interactive analytics and role-based dashboards help leaders reveal patterns, improve consistency, and make faster, better-informed decisions.

“Synergy Education Platform is a modern student data management system that blurs the lines between SIS, instruction, and student support workflows,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, EdTech Breakthrough. “Districts and educators can quickly identify what needs attention and take the next step within the same system, without delays or workarounds.”

The EdTech Breakthrough Awards program recognizes standout educational technology products and companies across the global edtech market. In its 8th annual cycle, the program drew a record number of nominations from innovators across more than 20 countries.

“Being recognized again by EdTech Breakthrough reinforces the continued relevance of our platform strategy,” said Rob Wilson, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Edupoint. “Synergy reflects where K–12 technology is headed: toward unified systems that reduce complexity, improve visibility, and help educators act with greater speed and confidence.”

CHICO, Calif., June 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — With West Coast architectural fees climbing to historic highs, standard residential design services are rapidly becoming cost-prohibitive for middle-class homebuilders. In a direct bid to dismantle this financial bottleneck, California-based manufacturer Sierra Log and Timber today announced the rollout of a flat-rate $950 custom 3D architectural drafting program available across its digital footprint at loghomefloorplans.shop.

Traditionally, custom home planning requires a major upfront financial gamble. Standard regional architecture firms routinely charge between 8% to 15% of total projected construction costs—or demand $5,000 to $15,000 upfront – just to produce initial concept layout sketches. This financial barrier has left thousands of Western property owners locked out of the market, paralyzed by high interest rates and the fear of the unknown before they can even secure accurate local builder estimates.

“The traditional home design process is fundamentally broken for today’s economy,” said Larry Trimboli, founder of Sierra Log and Timber. “Homeowners shouldn’t have to risk $10,000 of their savings just to see if a house layout will fit their land or their budget. By utilizing our direct-from-the-mill digital drafting system, we are absorbing that upfront financial risk for our clients. For $950, we give them a hyper-realistic, code-viable 3D model that acts as their financial shield against construction cost inflation.”

Sierra Log and Timber’s new programmatic release completely rewrites the pre-construction timeline. For a flat fee of $950, property owners can submit their custom home ideas, site parameters, or raw sketches to an in-house drafting team. The company then develops a complete, fully customized 3D architectural study set from scratch, tailored perfectly to the client’s specific acreage or suburban parcel.

Crucially, these custom 3D design sets give buyers the exact asset they need to break the market freeze: total cost certainty. Instead of guessing at material and trade costs, clients can take their finished 3D study sets directly to local general contractors, subcontractors, and construction lenders to secure guaranteed, itemized bids before committing to a major long-term loan.

The flat-rate custom 3D design program is optimized specifically for the company’s core Western footprint, covering California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado, and Montana. The program applies seamlessly across Sierra Log & Timber’s extensive engineering categories, including its premium solid Red Cedar log packages, modern heavy-timber frames, barndominiums, and the newly launched ADU 750 fee-exempt secondary dwelling series.

To ensure complete design flexibility, the flat rate includes full architectural revisions of windows, doors, interior partition walls, and rooflines to match local county zoning, snow load, and wind engineering requirements.

Property owners looking to bypass traditional architectural markups and lock down real pre-construction numbers can claim a custom 3D drafting slot directly at: https://loghomefloorplans.shop/.

ABOUT SIERRA LOG AND TIMBER:

Based in Chico, California, Sierra Log and Timber is a premier manufacturer of mill-direct solid Red Cedar log homes, cabins, barndominiums, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs), providing premium structural packages and advanced 3D digital drafting services nationwide.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Natural Transplants, a leader in physician-led hair restoration, and Cherry, a leading patient financing platform, today announced a strategic partnership aimed at improving access to high-quality hair transplant procedures nationwide. Alongside the partnership, the companies released an exclusive 2026 guide to hair transplant cost in the U.S., offering new insight into the significant cost disparities patients face across major metropolitan markets.

Drawing from Q1 2026 financing request data submitted through Cherry’s network of specialty hair restoration practices, the report reveals substantial regional variation in hair transplant pricing throughout the United States. According to the data, Los Angeles ranks as the nation’s most expensive market, with average procedure costs reaching approximately $15,000. By comparison, patients in Miami–Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, and Boston reported average costs closer to $7,000. Other major metro areas fell across a wide spectrum, including Seattle at $12,250, Denver at $11,874, Chicago at $10,000, and Washington, D.C. at $8,400.

The findings underscore a growing challenge within the aesthetic medical industry: where a patient lives can significantly impact both affordability and access to care.

“Patients should never have to compromise on quality because of geography or financial limitations,” said Dr. Matt Huebner. “This partnership with Cherry allows us to remove many of the traditional barriers to treatment by combining flexible financing with travel support programs that make world-class hair restoration more accessible to patients nationwide.”

Through the partnership, Natural Transplants will continue offering travel incentives for patients visiting its flagship clinics in Fort Lauderdale and Washington, D.C., enabling individuals to prioritize surgical expertise and clinical outcomes over proximity alone. Combined with Cherry’s financing platform — which includes flexible monthly payment options, promotional 0% APR plans for qualified patients, and a soft credit check application process — patients can better manage both treatment and travel expenses.

In conjunction with this announcement, both companies have published in-depth articles to help patients better understand the financial considerations and variables involved in hair restoration:

• Natural Transplants explores the full breakdown of regional pricing and what patients can expect for their investment in their comprehensive guide: How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost (In The United States)?
• Cherry provides a closer look at the specific variables influencing these prices and how accessible financing for both clinics and patients can bridge the gap in their latest post: Hair Transplant Cost: Full 2026 U.S. Pricing Breakdown

TECUMSEH, Mich., June 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The parent company of DiggyPOD, Everbrook Holdings, announced the acquisition of Long Overdue Books, a Chicago-area publishing company known for guiding authors from first draft to finished book. The deal closed on May 15, 2026, and brings Long Overdue Books into the Everbrook family alongside DiggyPOD. DiggyPOD is a Tecumseh, Michigan–based book printer that became Everbrook’s first portfolio company in June 2025.

As part of the transaction, Long Overdue Books founder Chris O’Brien joins Everbrook as Vice President of Author Services, where he will lead the build-out of a full-service suite, spanning ghostwriting, editing, design, printing, and marketing.

For more than three decades, DiggyPOD has been a trusted partner to thousands of self-published authors, earning a reputation for high-quality print-on-demand production and award-winning customer service. Long Overdue Books, founded by O’Brien in 2020, has helped authors navigate the often-confusing world of independent publishing — handling editing, design, and shepherding writers through every step of bringing a book into the world. Long Overdue Books has been a DiggyPOD customer for years, making the combination a natural fit on both a business and cultural level.

“DiggyPOD is exceptional at what it does — it gets beautiful books into authors’ hands,” said Anica John, CEO of DiggyPOD. “But printing is only one chapter of our authors’ journey. Most self-published authors are managing different freelancers for book editing and design, while they learn publishing on the fly. Bringing Long Overdue into the family means we can now walk with authors from the moment they have an idea to helping readers discover their book. Chris has spent his career championing authors, and there’s no one I’d rather have leading this work.”

“Writing a book is a deeply fulfilling experience, but it can be a little lonely,” said Chris O’Brien, Vice President of Author Services at Everbrook Holdings. “Finding an editor, a book designer, navigating the different publishing options — let alone actually writing the book — authors shouldn’t have to figure all that out alone. Anica’s vision for a full-service, end-to-end pathway is exactly what Long Overdue Books was trying to achieve, and I’m honored to join the Everbrook family to build it.”

Together, DiggyPOD and Long Overdue Books will offer authors a one stop shop that serves them from developing their book idea to finding an audience for their finished product. Both companies will continue to operate under their existing brands, with Long Overdue’s Chicago-area operations and DiggyPOD’s Tecumseh facility remaining in place.

NEW YORK, N.Y., June 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As conversations around declining fertility rates and reproductive health continue to gain global attention, the World Fertility Project (WFP), produced by pregnantish, today announced the return of its international “Break the Taboo” campaign, launching June 17 in honor of World Infertility Awareness Month.

Following a breakout inaugural campaign that engaged over 3 million people across six continents, the initiative returns with expanded global participation, bringing together patients, healthcare professionals, advocates, public figures, and organizations worldwide to help break the stigma surrounding infertility and increase awareness of the barriers many people face in accessing fertility care and support.

According to the World Health Organization, infertility affects approximately 1 in 6 people globally. Yet despite its prevalence, infertility remains heavily stigmatized in many communities, leaving countless individuals and couples to navigate their struggles in silence.

Listen to the pregnantish podcast “Breaking the Silence” with global advocates: https://shows.acast.com/pregnantish/episodes/breaking-the-taboo-infertility-stories-from-around-the-world

Even as governments worldwide grapple with declining birth rates and the need for solutions, millions of people who hope to build their families continue to face significant barriers to care – including stigma, lack of awareness, financial obstacles, geographic limitations, and unequal access to fertility treatment.

“Infertility is a medical diagnosis, not a personal failure, yet too many people around the world continue to carry unnecessary shame while also facing issues accessing care,” said Andrea Syrtash, Founder of Pregnantish and creator of the World Fertility Project. “When (at least) 1 in 6 people experience infertility, this is not a ‘niche’ issue, it is a global health issue. Last year showed us the power of collective voices coming together to challenge stigma and spark conversation. This year, we’re expanding that movement and inviting even more people to share their stories, advocate for change, and help connect awareness to access.”

The campaign, first launched alongside the inaugural World Fertility Awards, invites participants to share videos and images of themselves tearing “Break the Taboo” signs in their native languages, a symbolic act that spread across social media, and to share why they are joining a growing global movement to increase awareness, reduce stigma, and support those struggling to conceive. The movement will continue throughout the year leading up to the second annual World Fertility Awards in New York City this December.

The 2026 campaign will kick off on June 17 with a synchronized global digital activation uniting voices across countries, cultures, and communities.

Returning campaign partner IVI RMA Global, one of the world’s largest and most respected reproductive medicine networks, will once again leverage its international network of physicians, researchers, and clinics to amplify the campaign across multiple regions.

Dr. Filipa Rafael, Consultant in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Reproductive Medicine Specialist, IVI RMA Porto, shared, “Being connected to a global fertility movement (through the World Fertility Project) reminds me that, although we work in different countries and healthcare systems, our patients share the same hopes, fears, and challenges.”

Additional WFP ambassadors and supporters from around the world will participate in this year’s campaign and awards event to underscore the global nature of infertility and the need for greater awareness, education, and access to care.

Dr. Joseph Sgroi, Fertility Specialist at Melbourne IVF, shares: “The ability to learn from different systems, advocate collectively, and push for more equitable family-building options worldwide is incredibly powerful and needed.”

Dr. Brian Levine, Founding Partner of CCRM New York underscores that infertility doesn’t recognize borders – and neither should the solutions. “From New York to Mumbai, I’ve seen firsthand that while the science of family building is universal, access to care is not. By working together globally, we can reduce stigma, expand access, and help more people build the families they dream of.”

Participants are invited to join the movement by sharing their own “Break the Taboo” moment on social media using #BreakTheTaboo and #WorldFertilityProject and by taking the free pledge at https://www.worldfertilityproject.com/.

BLUE BELL, Pa., June 9, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Millions of Americans living with dizziness, chronic balance problems, Parkinson’s disease, and neurological movement disorders struggle for months or even years before receiving the specialized care their conditions require. For many, the path forward begins, and often ends, with referrals to standard orthopedic physical therapy that was never designed to address the underlying neurological causes of their symptoms. Neurology, Psychiatry and Balance Therapy Center (NPBTC), a multi-specialty medical practice located at 725 Skippack Pike in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, is raising awareness about the critical difference between general physical therapy and neurologically-informed rehabilitation, and urging patients and referring physicians throughout Montgomery County to understand when specialized neurological PT is the appropriate course of care.

WHEN STANDARD PHYSICAL THERAPY IS NOT ENOUGH

Not all physical therapy is the same. Neurologically-informed physical therapy — also called neurological physical therapy or neuro PT — is a specialized approach designed specifically for patients whose movement, coordination, balance, or mobility challenges stem from conditions affecting the brain, inner ear, or peripheral nervous system.

While general physical therapy is well suited for post-surgical recovery, musculoskeletal injuries, and orthopedic rehabilitation, neurological PT is designed for a different category of patients, including those who:

• Experience chronic dizziness including vertigo that has not resolved with standard treatment
• Struggle with recurring falls or unexplained balance problems
• Have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and are managing progressive changes in gait, posture, or mobility
• Are recovering from a stroke and working to restore motor function and independence
• Live with functional neurological disorder (FND), a condition in which neurological symptoms occur without an identifiable structural cause
• Are managing the physical impact of movement disorders such as tremor, rigidity, or dyskinesia
• Have experienced a concussion and are still dealing with symptoms affecting coordination, gait, or vestibular function

NPBTC’s physical therapy program is built around this distinction. Every treatment plan begins with a thorough evaluation of how the nervous system is contributing to a patient’s movement and balance challenges — and progresses through targeted interventions designed to retrain the brain and body to work together more effectively.

VESTIBULAR THERAPY: AN UNDERUTILIZED RESOURCE FOR DIZZINESS AND BALANCE

One of the most underutilized forms of specialized rehabilitation is vestibular therapy, a category of neurological physical therapy focused on conditions affecting the inner ear and its connections to and within the brain. The vestibular system is responsible for the body’s sense of balance, spatial orientation, and eye-head coordination. When it is disrupted by injury, illness, or neurological disease, patients can experience debilitating dizziness, nausea, difficulty walking, and a persistent sense of instability.

Despite the availability of effective vestibular rehabilitation, many patients go undiagnosed or are treated with medication alone, which may or may not manage symptoms but does not always address the underlying dysfunction.

At NPBTC, vestibular therapy is available for patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, vestibular migraine, Menière’s disease, post-concussion vestibular dysfunction, and other inner ear and central vestibular conditions.

PARKINSON’S DISEASE AND THE ROLE OF PHYSICAL THERAPY

For patients living with Parkinson’s disease, physical therapy is not simply a supportive tool — it is a medically recognized component of comprehensive Parkinson’s care. Research consistently supports the use of specialized exercise and rehabilitation interventions to help manage the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s, including rigidity, slowness of movement, balance instability, and changes in gait.

NPBTC offers dedicated Parkinson’s therapy that incorporates evidence-informed techniques designed to target the movement challenges specific to Parkinson’s disease. Treatment protocols include gait training with cueing strategies, balance and fall prevention training, exercises targeting amplitude of movement, and functional mobility work, all adapted to each patient’s current level of function and progression.

MOVEMENT DISORDER THERAPY AND FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER

Beyond Parkinson’s disease, NPBTC’s physical therapy program also serves patients with a broader range of movement disorders and neurologically driven movement challenges. This includes individuals with functional neurological disorder (FND), a complex and often misunderstood condition in which neurological symptoms such as tremors, weakness, gait disturbances, and involuntary movements occur without a structural or degenerative cause.

Functional neurological disorder is increasingly recognized as a legitimate neurological diagnosis, yet patients with FND frequently encounter delays in diagnosis and difficulty finding clinicians trained in evidence-based treatment approaches. At NPBTC, the integrated model of care — bringing together neurology, psychiatry, and neurological physical therapy — is uniquely suited to the multidisciplinary management that FND often requires.

AN INTEGRATED MODEL THAT SETS NPBTC APART

What distinguishes NPBTC from standalone physical therapy practices is the depth of clinical collaboration available under one roof. The practice was co-founded in 2012 by James Barsky, PT, DPT and Sonya Knight, DO, FAPA, FAAN, who is triple board-certified in Psychiatry, Neurology, and Epilepsy. This founding partnership established an intentional integration between neurological medicine and rehabilitation that remains central to how care is delivered at NPBTC today.

Patients at NPBTC benefit from a clinical environment where the neurologist, psychiatrist, and physical therapist can communicate directly, share observations, and coordinate care, a model that is rare in standard outpatient settings. For complex neurological patients, this coordination is not a luxury. It is often what makes the difference between continued frustration and meaningful progress.

WHO SHOULD CONSIDER NEUROLOGICAL PHYSICAL THERAPY AT NPBTC

NPBTC encourages patients and referring providers to consider a consultation for neurological physical therapy if any of the following apply:

• Persistent or recurring dizziness and vertigo that has not responded to prior treatment
• Balance problems, frequent falls, or a fear of falling
• A new or established diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease
• Dizziness or imbalance related to stroke
• Concussion symptoms affecting gait, balance, or vestibular function
• A diagnosis of functional neurological disorder or suspected FND
• Movement disorder symptoms including gait disturbances, rigidity, tremor, or coordination challenges

Patients do not always need a referral to begin care at NPBTC, though many are referred by neurologists, primary care physicians, ENT specialists, and other providers throughout the Philadelphia and Montgomery County region.

ABOUT NEUROLOGY, PSYCHIATRY AND BALANCE THERAPY CENTER (NPBTC)

Neurology, Psychiatry and Balance Therapy Center (NPBTC) is an integrated specialty medical practice located in Montgomery County at 725 Skippack Pike, Suite 130, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19422. The practice combines neurology, psychiatry, Deep TMS therapy, neurological physical therapy, vestibular therapy, and balance and gait rehabilitation under one coordinated care model. NPBTC was co-founded in 2012 by Sonya Knight, DO, FAPA, FAAN — triple board-certified in Psychiatry, Neurology, and Epilepsy — and James Barsky, DPT, a specialist in neurological physical therapy and vestibular rehabilitation. The practice serves patients throughout Montgomery County, Philadelphia, and surrounding communities.

SEATTLE, Wash., June 9, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Friday Harbor, an AI pre-underwriting platform that helps loan officers assemble complete and compliant loan files in real time, today announced its integration with MeridianLink®. The integration equips origination teams using MeridianLink® Mortgage to build clean, complete and compliant loan files up front that move through underwriting with fewer touches.

Friday Harbor is an AI pre-underwriting platform that helps lenders identify and resolve loan file issues before they reach underwriting. By analyzing borrower documents, appraisals, income calculations and other loan data against investor guidelines and lender overlays, the tool enables loan officers and fulfillment staff to catch missing documentation, discrepancies and guideline conflicts early enough to fix them before they become conditions. This allows lenders to compress cycle times, handle higher loan volumes without expanding headcount and move capital off the balance sheet faster.

MeridianLink Mortgage is a cloud-based loan origination system that helps banks, credit unions and independent mortgage banks manage the mortgage lending process from application through closing. The platform provides workflow automation, configurable processes and integrations with industry partners to help lenders originate, sell and purchase mortgage loans, HELOCs and home equity loans more efficiently.

The integration between Friday Harbor and MeridianLink Mortgage keeps loan data synchronized between the two systems, eliminating manual rework and giving teams clearer visibility into file readiness as loans move through origination. When files arrive at underwriting already vetted for common issues, underwriters spend less time clearing avoidable conditions and more time evaluating actual credit risk.

“Much of the friction in processing a loan comes from discovering problems too late,” said Theo Ellis, CEO of Friday Harbor. “When you catch a missing tax return or an income calculation error during file prep instead of three days into underwriting, you save time and money while keeping borrowers informed. This partnership puts that capability where MeridianLink Mortgage users are already working.”

About Friday Harbor

Friday Harbor is an AI pre-underwriting platform that helps lenders identify and resolve potential issues earlier in the origination process. By analyzing borrower documents, appraisals and income calculations against investor guidelines and lender overlays, the platform helps teams deliver cleaner files, achieve fewer underwriting touches and improve individual productivity.
