?Consilium Cares!? ? Consilium Staffing Embraces the Holiday Spirit of Giving at Children?s Medical Center of Dallas

Thursday, January 3rd, 2013


Irving, TX (PRWEB) December 20, 2012

Team Consilium has been a busy bunch of Christmas Elves this month raising money and volunteering their time at Children?s Medical Center of Dallas, a non-profit hospital that provides care to all children regardless of their family?s ability to pay. Consilium employees generously donated $ 20 each to wear jeans in the office all month long. Funds went towards Children?s Christmas party for patients on December 19, an event which Consilium also supported by sending a team of volunteers to help out.

?We generally don?t have many opportunities to volunteer onsite and the Consilium staff immediately came to mind,? said Sophia Sindalovsky, Corporate Engagement Coordinator for Children?s Foundation.

The Children?s Medical Center Christmas party for patients was a tremendous success. A team of Consilium employees helped out by delivering toys and spending precious time with the children.

?Today we had a chance to experience the spirit of Christmas with our visit to Children?s Hospital. Spending time with the children who were not going to be home for Christmas was the most important gift that we could have given,? said John Moberly, Consilium Staffing Vice President.

Consilium?s partnership with Children?s Medical Center will not end with 2012 ? both organizations are looking forward to the New Year and a long-term partnership with benefits going straight to the good of children and their families.

?At its core, Consilium Staffing is an organization that cares deeply about serving our community, and we couldn?t ask to partner with a better organization with such a quality reputation than Children?s Medical Center,? said Moberly.

Consilium?s Hospital Medicine, Primary Care, Psychiatry and Operations Teams also participated in Adult Protective Service?s Angel Tree this month. Each team adopted several ?angels? from the tree to provide much needed clothing items, special needs gifts and other wished-for items to those under APS protection. The mission of the Adult Protective Services (APS) program is to protect older adults and persons with disabilities from abuse, neglect and exploitation by investigating and providing or arranging for services as necessary to alleviate or prevent further maltreatment.

“Locum tenens” is a Latin phrase meaning “to hold the place of.” Consilium Staffing partners with hospitals, primary care offices, urgent care centers, correctional institutions and other healthcare facilities that may be understaffed or underserved by sourcing physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants who are able to provide coverage on a temporary contract basis.

The National Parenting Center Awards The Utterly Yours? Pregnancy Pillow With Its 2012 Seal of Approval

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

Great Falls, VA (PRWEB) May 03, 2012

The National Parenting Center [TNPC] announced the winners of its 2012 Seal of Approval in which the Utterly Yours Pregnancy Pillow was a recipient. Hundreds of products were submitted and underwent a thorough evaluation process of first-hand consumer testing over a ten week period. Reviews can be located from the TNPC home page at TNPC.com.

The National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval program is an independent testing procedure conducted to judge a variety of products introduced and marketed to the parent/child consumer market. Evaluated are each product’s level of desirability, sturdiness, and other ingredients essential in the make-up of a quality product. Test results are based on both statistical averaging and comments received from the testers.

The Utterly Yours? Pregnancy Pillow promises to deliver optimal comfort with its special design. It comes in a cube shape that opens to form two triangles. When in this open position, the pillow?s two halves support the back and belly simultaneously. Eco-friendly memory foam on one half of the pillow conforms to the mother?s belly. The other half of the pillow is made of higher density foam to support the back while keeping the body positioned to one side.

One of the biggest complaints of pregnancy pillows is that they are too bulky ? taking up half the bed at night and no place to discreetly store during the day. Other issues are that they are too confining and do not offer a balanced amount of body support.

The Utterly Yours Pregnancy Pillow successfully addresses all of these issues and has already proven to give expectant moms a comfortable night?s sleep and reduction of back pain they had been experiencing prior to using the pillow. Images and a ?how to? video can be viewed/downloaded at http://www.utterlyyours.com/media.html.

Here’s what the The National Parenting Center had to say:

Being pregnant is such an exciting time, full of anticipation and preparation. Other aspects of pregnancy are less upbeat; they include exhaustion, fatigue and discomfort. Finding a comfortable position when doing something as simple as watching TV can be impossible for some. The Pregnancy Pillow is a support system that gives mothers in the latter half of the pregnancy some much needed assistance. Uniquely designed and shaped the Pillow has been created to support mothers-to-be when they are in downtime, like lying on the couch, or even the floor, and watching TV. Supporting both the back and the belly, testers felt a reduction of pressure and discomfort. Visually they found it appealing with its cute and trendy fabric designs. The see through packaging and the way that it folds up into a cube, was viewed as quite ingenious.

About TNPC:

The National Parenting Center was founded in July of 1989 with the intention of providing the most comprehensive and responsible parenting advice to parents everywhere. The advice provided is furnished by some of the world’s most respected authorities in the field of child rearing and development.

From educational and entertainment products and equipment to travel destinations, the consumer oriented testing process solicits evaluations from parents and their children. This award signifies to other parents that their peers have acknowledged a product’s quality and desirability based on a wide variety of determining factors.

It is the sole intention of The National Parenting Center to advise, support and guide parents with sound, responsible advice.
