EVOL Burritos Commits to Humanely Raised Meats

EVOL Burritos Commits to Humanely Raised Meats

Best-selling frozen burrito maker partners with Niman Ranch to produce an even better burrito.

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) January 23, 2010

EVOL® Burritos, Boulder-based maker of made-from-scratch natural and organic frozen burritos, announced it will now source all its beef and pork from Niman Ranch, a 30-year industry leader in humane and sustainable livestock practices. EVOL already sources free-range poultry from Petaluma Poultry and cage-free eggs from Colorado-based Nest Fresh Eggs.

“EVOL Burritos is a perfect fit for Niman,” said Jeff Tripician, chief marketing officer and executive vice president of Niman Ranch. “We share core values about animal care and environmental preservation. And we share a mission — both Niman and EVOL are driven by a passion to produce exceptional food that consumers can feel good about eating.”

EVOL’s insistence on sustainably and humanely raised meats ushers in a new standard in the freezer case. EVOL Burritos believes that quality and integrity are equally important ingredients. By partnering with Niman Ranch, EVOL is choosing to support the industry gold standard for humane animal care.

All of Niman Ranch's livestock are raised outdoors on pastures and/or in deeply bedded pens that allow the animals to act on their instinctive behaviors. Niman Ranch never administers added hormones or antibiotics, and all animals are fed a 100 percent vegetarian diet.

"Using sustainably raised proteins is one of the best things we can do for our health, for the welfare of animals and for the environment," said chief operating officer and EVOL Burrito founder Philip Anson. "As a manufacturer, I believe we’re accountable to both consumers and the planet. I want EVOL to be part of a food solution — nutritious, delicious, sustainable and affordable.”

Sourcing from Niman Ranch and other sustainable sources benefits the environment and family farms. Niman Ranch uses alternative energy sources and conducts crop rotation, an important practice in preventing soil depletion and soil erosion. Niman’s traditional farming methods produce little odor, and the presence of fewer animals on the farm helps preserve the water supply and sustain the land for the future.

EVOL’s diverse burrito lineup ranges from the extra meaty, protein-packed Shredded Beef to the 70 percent organic, vegan Veggie Fajita. EVOL Burritos are distributed nationally through key retailers including Whole Foods Market, Wegmans, King Soopers, Stop & Shop, Food Emporium, Jewel-Osco, Gelson's, QFC and The Fresh Market. Suggested retail price: $2.69 for 6-ounce burritos and $2.99 for 8-ounce burritos.

About EVOL:
EVOL (ee-vuhl) Burritos, based in Boulder, Colo., is changing the way the world thinks about frozen burritos. Phil Anson, COO, chef and founder, is very choosy about what goes into his 11 varieties of hand-rolled burritos: antibiotic-free chicken, pork, beef and chorizo sausage; cage-free eggs; traditionally made tortillas; herb-roasted skin-on potatoes; house-made green chilé and salsas; and numerous local and organic ingredients. There’s a lot to LOVE about EVOL. Produced by Phil’s Fresh Foods LLC, EVOL burritos are available at stores nationwide. You better believe this is all-natural, made-from-scratch deliciousness. www. evolburritos. com

S. family farmers and ranchers who practice the highest standards of animal husbandry and environmental stewardship to deliver the finest-tasting meats in the world.

AHIP Statement on the Status of Health Care Reform

AHIP Statement on the Status of Health Care Reform

America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) President and CEO Karen Ignagni released the following statement today regarding the status of health care reform.

Washington, DC (Vocus) March 4, 2010

America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) President and CEO Karen Ignagni released the following statement today regarding the status of health care reform:

“As Members of Congress once again consider health care reform legislation, it is crucial to separate rhetoric and reality. Our community includes hundreds of thousands of dedicated, conscientious Americans from all walks of life who are working hard to provide health insurance coverage to more than 200 million Americans. They do not deserve to be vilified for the work they do every day.

“We strongly support health care reform that covers everyone with a uniform, secure safety net. At the beginning of this debate, our community proposed comprehensive insurance market reforms and new consumer protections to ensure every American has guaranteed affordable coverage. At the same time, health care reform won’t work without comprehensive provisions that will bring costs under control and make health care coverage more affordable. With each passing day, rising costs are putting coverage out of reach for working families and small businesses, and there is very little in the current legislation to solve this problem.

“Health plans will continue to work with policymakers and other health care stakeholders to help make affordable, sustainable health care reform a reality.”

Transcending Dental Education

The students at Pima Medical Institute, 1627 Eastlake Avenue East in Seattle recently captured 1st place in the Dental Assisting School category of the national 2005 Dental Assistants Recognition Week Campaign sponsored by the American Dental Assistants Association and the American Dental Association.

(PRWEB) July 25, 2005

The students at Pima Medical Institute, 1627 Eastlake Avenue East in Seattle recently captured 1st place in the Dental Assisting School category of the national 2005 Dental Assistants Recognition Week Campaign sponsored by the American Dental Assistants Association and the American Dental Association.

PMI's prize-winning activities were three fold. First, Karen Rebiger, CDA, Dental Assistant instructor for PMI and her students procured a Proclamation from Gov. Christine Gregoire recognizing Dental Assistant Recognition Week. Next, the class set up a Table Clinic in the student lounge area and gave PMI faculty, staff and students advice on dental hygiene. Delicious tooth-shaped cookies helped lure in more reluctant participants. The third major activity was a presentation at a preschool where the students distributed dental hygiene kits that included toothbrushes and floss, as well as hand-made tooth fairy pillows.

“The efforts put forth by you and those who worked with you will go a long way toward educating our professional peers about the contribution made by dental assistants everywhere,” wrote Kristy S. Borquez, President of the American Dental Assistants Association in a letter informing PMI of their first-place recognition.

“We are so proud of our DA program and Ms. Rebiger's dedication to her students,” said George Borchers, campus director for the Seattle campus. “Their dedication, enthusiasm and desire to have a positive impact in the community has all of us smiling.”

The training period for PMI's Dental Assistant program is 30 weeks for day classes for day classes, or 33 weeks for evening classes. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for Dental Assistants is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations through 2012.

The Seattle campus offers programs for Dental Assistant, Health Unit Coordinator, Medical Assistant, Medical Administrative Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Phlebotomy Technician, Radiography and Veterinary Assistant.

PMI is one of the premier medical career colleges in the western United States. The privately owned, accredited school provides students with a well-rounded education embracing theoretical classroom studies, as well as on-site training at medical facilities that mirror the working environment they will pursue after graduation.

PMI has been serving students since 1972, with campuses in: Albuquerque, New Mexico; Mesa and Tucson, AZ; Denver and Colorado Springs, CO; Seattle and Renton, WA; Las Vegas, NV and Chula Vista, CA.

RevolutionHealth. com Releases momScore, First-of-Its-Kind Examination of Maternal Health in the U. S.: Vermont Tops 50 States in First Annual Analysis

RevolutionHealth. com Releases momScore, First-of-Its-Kind Examination of Maternal Health in the U. S.: Vermont Tops 50 States in First Annual Analysis

Revolution Health today announced momScore, a first-of-its-kind health index that provides nationwide state rankings for maternal health - the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. The health index, including state-specific metrics, may be viewed by going to www. RevolutionHealth. com/momscore/.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) May 7, 2008

 Vermont, scoring 94.5 points out of a possible 100 points, led the nation, followed by Connecticut (90), Minnesota (88.5), Rhode Island (88), Massachusetts (87.4), New Hampshire (86.6), Maine (84.5), Hawaii (83.5), Wisconsin (82.7) and Iowa (81.2).

"We believe it is critical that consumers have the information and tools they need to make smart health decisions for themselves and their families. With momScore, our team has collected information about the critical factors that influence maternal health in every state, displayed this information in one place and provided easy-to-understand, comprehensive rankings," said Val Jones, M. D., senior medical director at Revolution Health. "momScore demonstrates how clear information can promote awareness of important maternal health issues. I hope that this health index will also encourage states to compete with one another for higher momScores by improving the quality of care and access to health services for moms and babies."

The cumulative momScore was compiled by a team of independent experts including medical professionals, public health officials, advocates and real-life moms. The panel looked at 10 key factors, including maternal health and wellness, early childhood health, socioeconomic factors and public policy. They reviewed more than 40 datasets from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Census Bureau, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and others. momScore covers the 50 states and the District of Columbia. This is the first time such information has been compiled into one set of rankings.

To help moms take action to improve their health, RevolutionHealth. com has coupled the momScore rankings with expert-led groups on topics ranging from parenting and healthy eating, to losing weight and de-stressing. In addition, RevolutionHealth. com is hosting forums for discussions on momScore and the ways the online community can improve their individual state's momScore rankings.

"Maternal health is of critical importance and has not been given enough attention on our national research agenda for the last decade," said Vivian Dickerson, M. D., Executive Medical Director of Women's Health Services at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, California and a past President of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and one of the experts who informed the development of momScore. "By analyzing and presenting these complicated data in a simple, digestible way for moms and moms-to-be, we hope to help them understand the various factors and policies that affect maternal health and encourage women to take action to improve their own health. The release of Revolution Health's momScore is an important step towards bringing attention to maternal health so that, for all women, motherhood is a healthy and positive experience."

You can find the momScore interactive map at www. RevolutionHealth. com/momscore (http://www. RevolutionHealth. com/momscore).

E-Builder Launches Enterprise 7 at COAA's Spring Owners Leadership Conference

E-Builder Launches Enterprise 7 at COAA's Spring Owners Leadership Conference

E-Builder provides the lowest risk, highest value capital project management software available today.

Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) May 14, 2009

Delivering on its commitment to improve worldwide productivity in the construction industry, e-Builder, the leading provider of integrated capital program and project management software, launched Enterprise 7 at the Construction Owners Association of America's (COAA) Spring Owners Leadership Conference. This upgrade signals a paradigm shift in the way construction project management software is developed, deployed and used. Organizations managing capital projects can now achieve reduced costs and business process improvements faster than ever before with e-Builder 7's modular deployment approach, easy-to-use platform, and fast integration capabilities.

While other companies attempt to build a project management solution by cobbling together multiple disparate platforms gathered through acquisitions or partnerships, e-Builder continues to develop a fully integrated platform using modern technology and components. In fact, e-Builder remains one of the few companies that builds, implements, supports, operates and maintains the system under one roof. This business model makes e-Builder highly accountable to our clients to deliver results.

E-Builder's interface is familiar to anyone that uses the Internet, a key component to improving ease of use and adoption. In addition, the offline tools included with the system let users continue to do their work in familiar applications like MS Word, Excel, Outlook, or even the fax machine.

E-Builder Enterprise 7 is designed so that it can be deployed in phases or one module at a time. This gives organizations the flexibility to build use and adoption in small steps instead of one massive, lengthy and expensive leap. This approach reduces the time it takes to see results with e-Builder by 70% or more vs. similar solutions. In addition, the technology platform includes import/export tools, a web services API, and an XML translation layer enabling integrations that require little to no custom programming. Furthermore, e-Builder's platform is system agnostic and can integrate with any other application.

Jonathan N. Antevy, e-Builder co-founder and CEO, stated, "it's ironic that for the last 3 years we've been focused on developing a low-risk, high-ROI platform, while the current economic landscape has forced organizations to be even more risk averse and demand demonstrable ROI. I'm confident in saying that the bottom line is that e-Builder provides the lowest risk, highest value capital project management software available today."

About e-Builder
E-Builder is the leading provider of fully integrated capital program and project management software for top facility owners and companies that act on their behalf. The company's flagship product, e-Builder Enterprise, improves capital project execution resulting in increased productivity and quality, reduced cost, and faster project delivery.
