Aug 20, 2016

Cerebrum Health Centers is once again boosting its military program by adding even more valor to a staff of people who care.

August 19, 2016 /MM-prReach/ —

Cerebrum Health Centers in Dallas has always been a big proponent of servicemen and women with its military program. They continue to prioritize their program that provides neurological rehab and care at no cost to the client, and are adding additional support with the hiring of Codey Marshall and Mary Arnold, to join the committed clinical staff, in place since the inception of the program.

William “Codey” Marshall, an enlisted Marine from 2002-2006, has joined the Cerebrum team as the Director of Military Programs. He will focus his efforts on building a local community to support our heroes and supporting the military clients going through the program. Outside Cerebrum, Marshall works extensively with the Veterans Coalition of North Central Texas as the Director of Development, where he’s been since 2014.

“It is excited to be joining the Cerebrum team; this is a great opportunity to be a contributing member of an organization that has demonstrated an un-waiving dedication to veterans’ mental and physical health,” said Codey.

Codey served with the U.S. Marine Corps from 2002-2006 in both California and Iraq. He also has local ties, graduating from Southern Methodist University with a degree in Markets & Culture.

Cerebrum Dallas has also hired Mary Arnold to its military program as Care Coordinator, helping patients schedule visits and travel arrangements, acting as liaison to Cerebrum’s foundation partners and keeping in touch after patients depart, to ensure congruous care. Another local hire, Mary graduated from the University of Dallas in May of 2016 with a B.A. in Business.

“Mary is an outstanding addition to the military team. She comes with an incredible passion and desire to serve a community that she respects tremendously. She brings a high level of skill, as well as compassion for her work, and the Cerebrum Dallas team and patients are lucky to have her,” said Paul Shrogin DC, Director of Operations.

Mary’s background in public service is strong as well, as she volunteered at the Our Lady of Peace Church in Santa Clara, CA before moving to the Dallas area.

Cerebrum Health Centers’ Military Program is an immersive, non-invasive brain treatment program for those affected with traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress, insomnia, memory and focus issues, and more. Cerebrum works with veteran service foundations so that there is zero cost to the military client. They base their care around the idea that the brain, like any muscle, can be strengthened, rehabilitated and re-engaged in areas of impairment, with custom treatment plans determined by full physical and neurological exams, gold standard diagnostics, lab work and brain and activity based therapies.

GISBH: KPWKM prioritises swift reunification of rescued children with families

Oct 15, 2024

KUALA LUMPUR: The immediate return of children rescued during Op Global to their parents and families is a top priority for the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM). However, its minister, Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said KPWKM must first ensure that the children’s parents and families can provide adequate and proper care. “For cases where the capability of the parents and families is clearly established, the reunification process can proceed without delay. In more complex situations, intervention programmes will be implemented to ensure the children’s and families’ best interests are safeguarded “The ultimate goal is to reunite these children with their families. However, before this can happen, several factors need to be carefully evaluated. This is not about denying anyone’s rights, but about ensuring the best interests of the children are upheld,” Nancy said during a minister’s briefing session on GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) in the Dewan Rakyat today. As of yesterday, 560 children – 283 boys and 277 girls – had been placed in safe custody after the Social Welfare Department (JKM) obtained a temporary court custody order for two months under Section 25(2)(a) of the Child Act 2001. Meanwhile, Nancy said the Task Force Profiling Team for Op Global found that 94.3 per cent of the 558 profiled children had at least one living biological parent, while 5.7 per cent had no parents or no available information on their parents. Health assessments showed that 51.6 per cent of the children were underweight, falling below the healthy Body Mass Index (BMI), while 46.1 per cent had a normal weight and the remaining children were classified as obese, she added. “Three children have been issued persons with disabilities (PwD) cards, while 27 others display symptoms of disability,” she added. Cognitive assessments were also conducted on 385 children aged seven and above, with 71.9 per cent (277 children) showing no signs of cognitive disorders, she said. “However, 20.26 per cent (78 children) displayed moderate cognitive disorders, while 7.79 per cent (30 children) were found to have severe cognitive impairments,” Nancy said.

Malaysia should seize opportunity in global medical devices market - Chang

Oct 15, 2024

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian innovators and manufacturers should seize the opportunity to tap into the immense potential of the global medical devices industry, which is projected to reach nearly US$800 billion by 2030, says Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) Minister Chang Lih Kang. Chang noted that Malaysia had many high-quality products and innovators in the medical devices sector, with the government continuously encouraging and supporting industry players in research and development (R&D) and commercialisation efforts. “The market is vast, and we have plenty of room for success. To support R&D, of course, not limited to the medical devices industry, MOSTI offers various funding facilities, grants, matching grants, and equity where we invest in relevant startups,” he said. Chang said this to reporters after officiating the soft launch of INNOMed: Innovation Pitching Powered by PERANTIM, a key event in the International Medical Device Exhibition & Conference (IMDEC) 2024. Also present were Medical Device Authority (MDA) chief executive officer Dr P. Muralitharan, Malaysia Medical Devices Manufacturers Association (PERANTIM) president Johari Abu Kasim, and organising chairman of INNOMed, Dr Hyzan Mohd Yusof. Earlier in his speech, Chang said that under Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030, the government aimed to foster synergies between the manufacturing and engineering sectors and the medical devices sector. This includes creating advanced inspection tools, solutions for imaging and endoscopy, implantable devices, and minimally invasive surgical tools. Meanwhile, Muralitharan told Bernama that, according to figures from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), Malaysia’s total trade in medical devices, valued at RM25.61 billion from January to July this year, increased by 23.5 per cent compared to the same period in 2023 (RM20.74 billion). He added that the export of medical devices was valued at RM20.15 billion, an increase of 25.7 per cent compared to RM16.02 billion in 2023. In his speech, Dr Hyzan said that medical device innovation presented an opportunity to improve healthcare while boosting the economy, with the industry projected to reach nearly US$2 billion by 2025, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors. “By focusing on innovation, we can create high-skilled jobs, reduce our dependence on imported technologies, and position Malaysia as a global leader. Last year, we spent US$5 billion on medical devices, with 95 per cent being imports. Our goal is to reduce this to 50 per cent within five years,” he said. He also emphasised that close collaboration among universities, innovators, manufacturers, clinicians, and government agencies was key to ensuring that ideas and research transitioned smoothly from laboratories to clinical applications and into the hands of healthcare providers. INNOMed, themed “Unleashing the Power of Medical Technology: Shaping the Future of Healthcare,“ is organised by the MDA and will take place from Dec 10 to 12 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).
