In this video I review the very popular P90X fitness program and then give you a free alternative thats even better. I get asked so often what I think of the P90X program that I thought it important to do a video on the subject. Here is what I say about P90X • “Anything that gets people excited about working out regularly is a very good thing and people get very, very excited about P90X.” Good points first: P90X is simple, you just look at your calendar and see which DVD to pop in. P90X has brought fitness into the lives of countless people who would otherwise be couch potatoes, they have made fitness popular and I applaud them for that. Now the bad points. The biggest problem in my opininon is that the program is used to push their expensive supplements and other products, this is really slimy in my opinon. The other problem is that the program is very limited, it doesnt grow with you as your ability grows. Another thing I worry about is that the “90 day” program encourages dangerous short term thinking. To me fitness and true health is a lifestyle, not a 90 day project. Minor complaints are that people find the program boring toward the end and get tired of hearing the same jokes time and time again -ah, deal with it. People get good results from P90X but people get GREAT results from using my free website and videos and I dont recommend you buy *anything*!. Do this, check the success stories on the P90X website and then check out the success stories on my website and …

HomeTown Health, LLC is now in its 5th year of an Executive Leadership program designed to improve management and leadership development within healthcare organizations and hospitals in Georgia. According to research conducted in January of last year, twenty-two of approximately 65 rural hospitals in Georgia experienced turned over during an eleven month period. The reasons for the turnover were, external financial and reimbursement impacts beyond local control, e.g. payer mix and unemployment, failure of board to define expectations of CEO, very poor hospital financial performance, poor communications by CEO to explain hospital operations, local board not understanding the competitive compensation requirements for CEOs, etc. According to Jimmy Lewis, CEO of HomeTown Health, job requirements of tomorrow will not resemble the CEO duties of today. Reimbursement complexity will soar; physician recruitment will become much more difficult as rural hospital compete with FQHC?s and technology of newer larger hospitals. Technology understanding for EHR?s, ACO?s, and HIE?s will require a much more educated and savvy CEO than ever before. This scenario will only get worse as more CEOs retire or are terminated. Lewis notes that after a chief executive officer leaves, it?s difficult for rural hospitals to find a qualified replacement. Unlike large hospitals in urban areas, rural facilities often do not have a ready backup candidate, and it can take several months to hire a new leader. For this reason HomeTown Health continues to grow its leadership program as means to develop and maintain strong leadership in the GA rural healthcare realm.

The Executive Leadership Program is IACET (International Association for Continuing Education) accredited and carries with it 50 credit hours or 5 CEUs. It begins each February with CEO Day at the Capitol and then moves to a private dinner with an evening of great food and a challenging message. Other key sessions include a two day cost report training session at Draffin & Tucker, a two day session at Lake Oconee on personal and executive development, communication with your board and crisis management, participation in clinical and financial workshops throughout the year as well as training at both the HTH spring and fall conferences. All of the leadership sessions are equally important and all the participants immediately see the validity of the program when the first session begins in February.

The program begins each year with an important CEO Day at the state capitol. It includes meeting with legislators, watching the proceedings in the chambers, and working the lobby lines. Jimmy Lewis, HomeTown Health CEO states, ?This is a significant event because it provides you access to legislators directly on critical issues and it provides transparency and accountability to CEOs for the representation that HomeTown gives to you.? This year there were 35 attendees from 20 hospitals that were able to engage legislators directly with their issues and questions. ?Attendees every year go away with a sense of awe at how the lawmaking process works. They also are impressed with the appreciation that legislators express for having them come to visit them at the capitol?, Jimmy Lewis.

Ashland, MA (PRWEB) February 20, 2006

Non-medical home care tops the list of preferred options for those seeking elder care services, according to the latest data gathered by ElderCarelink, an elder care referral service which spots trends and identifies growing elder care management needs. For those seeking elder care services, 54% preferred in-home care to assisted living and senior communities for seniors primarily between the ages of 75 and 84. Other choices for senior care included emergency response services, adult day care centers, group health care facilities and nursing homes.

The numbers are consistent with growing trends for elderly to be cared for in the home rather than in nursing homes and assisted living centers. Using home care providers for non-medical care can support families in their care efforts and support seniors in continuing to live independently. Utilizing home health care and personal care providers can be more cost effective as well. Elder home care services often include meal preparation, personal care services such as grooming and dressing, household services and transportation, according to the ElderCarelink survey.

The survey was established by ElderCarelink to provide crucial information about a growing demographic in an effort to best serve families seeking elder care and services. ?The trend toward caring for our seniors in the home is evident as concerns about quality of life and reluctance to turn to dependent living situations such as nursing homes or assisted living grow,? said Robert F. Brooks, Chief Executive Officer of ElderCarelink. ?As we continue to match quality providers from our network to our consumers, it is likely we will see elder home care providers expanding services and developing more targeted specialties to meet this growing need in elder care.?
