Today’s workforce includes multiple generations of employees all looking for something different from their benefits package. While meeting these disparate needs can be challenging, a comprehensive fertility benefit can support everyone from junior staffers learning about their fertility health to senior leadership managing menopause and low testosterone symptoms.
Violence is on the rise, but so is technology that can turn the tide, as long as those on the frontlines lead the way. It’s a sobering reality across healthcare: Workplace violence is on the rise. And nurses, who are at the heart of care, are at especially high risk. In a 2022 National Nurses United survey , nearly half of hospital-based respondents reported an increase in workplace violence, a 57% increase from the rate reported in their previous survey in late 2021.

The retrospective, multicenter study found that around two-thirds of patients who had become resistant to chemotherapy were responsive to CAR-T cell ther

While Parkinson’s disease is characterized by movement symptoms, it also causes a range of nonmotor complications, including pain, cognitive changes and psychosocial issues. In 2020, Cleveland Clinic began offering a Parkinson’s disease palliative care clinic, named the Care-PD Clinic , to help patients and their caregivers address the most distressing symptoms of the disease and maximize quality of life.

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years. But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace. In a recent survey, 70% of respondents said they have considered changing their employment to better manage symptoms — perhaps because only 8% received significant support from their employer related to meno

Amare Medical Network provided this article. The holiday season is a time of joy, family, and tradition.

Over 200 health journals call on the United Nations (UN), political leaders and health professionals to recognise that climate change and biodiversity loss are one indivisible crisis and must be tackled together to preserve health and avoid catastrophe. This overall environmental crisis is now so severe as to be a global health emergency. The world is currently responding to the climate crisis and the nature crisis as if they were separate challenges.
The holiday season brings a menu of options to consider in a very short time–and also the possibility of real holiday stress. Fun events with family, friends, colleagues; gift giving ; charitable donations; volunteering; and holiday foods to cook. The sheer number of things to get done can seem overwhelming, even if you look forward to all of them.
