Boston Podiatrist Expands Footprint. Boston Common Podiatry Adds New Staff & Square Footage

September 22, 2011 //  by admin

Dr. Jordana Szpiro

Boston Common Podiatry, led by established Boston podiatrist and board certified foot surgeon Jordana Szpiro, D.P.M., F.A.C.F.A.S., has recently expanded the square footage of the practice, added three new staff members and promoted two.

Located at 264 Beacon Street, Boston Common Podiatry resides on the second floor. Previously, the practice occupied 1,400 sq. ft. of space. The practice recently acquired additional space across the hall, adding another 600 sq. ft. to better accommodate a fast growing staff and patient population.

Boston Common Podiatry has hired three new staff members and promoted two staff members.

Rebecca Greene-Cramer, a native of Marlboro, VT and resident of Brighton, has been appointed as a Medical Assistant. She will assist Dr. Szpiro with minor surgeries, manage medical instruments and x-rays, prepare exam rooms, educate patients and manage patient referrals and files. Ms. Greene-Cramer received a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry (Cum Laude) from Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, CT where she won several Biochemistry awards. For four summers previous to Boston Common Podiatry, she was the Assistant Program Director for Brattleboro Recreation and Parks Department in Brattleboro, VT. She is a member of the American Chemical Society.

Amanda Castonguay, a native of Danbury, CT and resident of Allston, MA has been appointed as Back Office Manager and will oversee patient accounts, bookkeeping and office operations. Ms. Castonguay holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, CT. For two years previous to Boston Common Podiatry, she was a Sales Associate & Keyholder at Hot Topic retailer in Danbury, CT.

GerriAnne Arinella, a Boston resident, has been appointed as Front Office Manager and will be primarily responsible for answering the phones, scheduling appointments, checking in/out patients and processing patient payment/insurance. Ms. Arinella received certification as a Medical Assistant from Fisher Junior College, Bryman Institute. For two years previous to Boston Common Podiatry, she was a Medical Receptionist at the Eye Center of North Shore in Salem, MA. For 22 years prior to that, she was a Medical Receptionist for Edward Wyman, M.D., Orthopaedics, at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

Danielle Colon, a resident of Boston who has been with Boston Common Podiatry for one year, has been promoted to Senior Medical Assistant. Ms. Colon is a Bachelor of Arts 2012 candidate at Boston University’s Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences and is member of Lambda Pi Upsilon Sorority. She also volunteers with the “Little Sisters of the Poor” and the Greater Boston YMCA.

Jessica Ramalho, a resident of Lynnfield, MA, who has also been with the practice for a year, has been promoted to Senior Medical Assistant. Ms. Ramalho is a Bachelor of Arts 2012 candidate as well as Resident Assistant at Boston University’s Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences. She is the recipient of an Appreciation Award from the VA Boston Healthcare System in West Roxbury. As Senior Medical Assistants, Ms. Colon and Ms. Ramalho will assist Dr. Szpiro with minor surgeries, manage medical instruments and x-rays, prepare exam rooms, educate patients and manage patient referrals and files.

“The practice is growing by leaps and bounds, due in part to new services we have added, such as the FDA approved PinPointe Laser Treatment, which is a pain-free, non-invasive way to eradicate nail fungus. We are one of the only providers to offer it,” noted Szpiro, who recently appeared on WCVB-TV Channel 5 News in the “What Your Feet Say About Your Health” segment. She continued, “The number of patients we treat has doubled over last year, warranting the larger space and medical team. And, we’ll be adding even more services and products in the near future.”

Crafting your story into news

September 20, 2011 //  by admin

Editors and reporters are looking for subjects that entertain, educate and entice their audience. These media gatekeepers are NOT drawn to self-promotion, self-aggrandizement or self-indulgence.

So, how do you “package” news that will be acceptable to the gatekeeper? First, add a human element. How does your story impact upon people. The more the better. An Ice Cream Scooper Bowl that raises money for a good charity and feeds thousands is of more interest to the press than an isolated incident or promotion.

Second, make the reader part of the story. When is the Scooper Bowl and what is the best time to avoid big lines? How can the reader contribute to the good cause even if he can’t make it to the event?

Third, bring the story close to home. What is the hometown of the Scooper Bowl sponsor? What local little league will be helping out as the scooper duper helpers? What business and community leaders will act as “celebrity” scoopers.

Fourth, say something memorable. “This Scooper Bowl will help lick this tragic problem,” you might suggest. Or, “This Sunday your ice cream sundae will help whip this difficult condition.” Offer pithy quotes and the press will come back for more — not only for this story, but future opportunities as well.

Fifth, be unusual. The Scooper Bowl, if faced with rival events, could feature only homemade ice cream and farm fresh toppings. Or perhaps the ice cream is served in miniature trophy cups.

Now you can scream about your proverbial ice cream. Enjoy the works.

HR Knowledge Inc. Offers Sexual Harassment Prevention Training and Tips

September 15, 2011 //  by admin

HR Knowledge, Inc., a leading Business Process Outsourcer (BPO) serving emerging to mid-sized companies throughout the Northeast with offices in Mansfield and Waltham, recently announced that they provide training on sexual harassment prevention in the workplace. Companies are required by Federal Law to have a Sexual Harassment Policy in place, and annual training of all of a company’s employees provides greater understanding of the policy while reinforcing it.

HR Knowledge has outlined the steps required and suggested to prevent Sexual Harassment in the workplace:

1. Maintain an Employee Guideline that includes a Sexual Harassment Policy.

2. In the Guidelines there should be key elements which include investigation if necessary and non-retaliation, as retaliation can put the company in a greater risk position than they were with the alleged original offense.

3. Ensure that all employees sign off on and accept/receive the Employee Guidelines which should include the Sexual Harassment Policy. Keep this signature page in a safe and secure place.

4. Annual Sexual Harassment Prevention Training for the employees at your company. The training should mention and review the do’s and don’ts for Sexual Harassment and what could be construed as Sexual Harassment. The purpose is to create and maintain a positive and healthy work environment for all employees.

5. Once the training is completed please have each employee sign off that they did attend the training and keep this on file.

6. Finally, HR Knowledge recommends purchasing an insurance policy called EPLI (employment practice liability insurance). This insurance will protect the company from claims made against the company for Sexual Harassment, Wrongful Termination, Discrimination in the workplace and other type of employment related practices. Without this insurance, companies will have to pay for their own attorney and pay for any claims awarded for an employment practice lawsuit. This insurance should protect you from employment practice lawsuits. (Note: HR Knowledge is not property and casualty insurers. Please consult an insurance agent for more information on EPLI Insurance.)

According to Jeff Garr, CEO of HR Knowledge, “Sexual Harassment claims and awards can amount to a great deal of money, so prevention and education are vital in protecting the company, it’s managers and ownership. HR Knowledge provides this sort of training for organizations on an annual basis.”

Garr has spoken on a wide variety of HR topics ranging from employment issues to social media policies and sexual harassment prevention. He is available for speaking engagements.

To arrange a speaking engagement with Jeff Garr, contact (508) 339-1300.

A good deed that goes rewarded. Falmouth resident Jennifer Gregg receives “Tireless Neighbor” award from Haley’s Tire.

Haley's Tire's Tireless Neighbor

September 14, 2011 //  by admin

Haley's Tire's Tireless Neighbor
Falmouth resident Jennifer Gregg is this month’s winner of Haley’s Tire’s Tireless Neighbor award. Haley’s Tire Manager Matt Ahonen is on the right.

BIDDEFORD, BANGOR, AUGUSTA AND FALMOUTH, MAINE… 

In recognition of her volunteering her time to numerous area non-profits, Haley’s Tire & Service Center recently awarded Falmouth resident Jennifer Gregg its “Tireless Neighbor” honors for the month of August.

You might say donating her time is a habit—or habitat—for Gregg. Since relocating to Falmouth after her retirement from the CIA in 2000, she’s been an active volunteer for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland, doing everything from pounding nails to raising funds for Habitat homes in Falmouth, Naples, Portland and Cumberland. Gregg has also been an active organizer of and participant in St. Mary’s Episcopal Church of Falmouth’s outreach projects that have included generating hands-on and financial support in recent years for organizations such as Safe Passage, Gary’s house, the Falmouth Food Pantry and St. Elizabeth’s Essential Needs Pantry. 

More recently, she turned her focus to the management of  S. Mary’s “Souper Supper”,  a sit-down supper of soup, bread, salad and desserts  offered free of charge twice monthly to the greater Portland community.   For those efforts, Gregg received “Tireless Neighbor” honors.

 “It’s a little dizzying listening to Jennifer’s list of charitable endeavors, not to mention her service to our country” said Tim Haley, owner of Haley’s Tire. “We are extremely lucky to have somebody like Jennifer who not only chose to live in this community but make it a better place with her work with Habitat and St. Mary’s in Falmouth. She’s an extremely worthy recipient of our Tireless Neighbor award.”

 Each month, Haley’s Tire & Service Center recognizes somebody in the four communities they serve—Augusta, Bangor, Biddeford and Falmouth—for going above and beyond the call of duty for the communities in which they live. Candidates are nominated by fellow citizens, who submit a short description as to why a particular nominee should be that month’s Tireless Neighbor. The entry that makes the most compelling case, as determined by Haley’s Tire staff, receives the Tireless Neighbor honor, which includes a free oil change (a $29.95 value) at any Haley’s Tire location. 

Gregg was nominated for the Tireless Neighbor award by her friend, Talie Harris, a fellow volunteer at St. Mary’s.

“I spent almost 30 years with the CIA working mostly overseas. When it was time to retire, I decided I was going to pick a place where I could experience an American community,” said Gregg. “By living in Falmouth and working with Habitat and St. Mary’s, I’ve been able to fulfill the dream of being part of a community and that’s a reward unto itself. Being recognized for that is just icing on the cake.”

Haley’s Tire honors a Tireless Neighbor once a month in the four communities it serves. People can nominate a Tireless Neighbor by sending an e-mail of 200 words or less to tirelessneighbor@haleystire.com . Please remember to include your name and telephone number as well as the name and telephone number or e-mail of the person they are nominating. Written nominations can be dropped off or mailed to any Haley’s Tire & Service Center. The locations and mailing address of the four Haley’s Tire & Service Center are below: 

  • Haley’s Tire & Service Center Augusta – 300 State Street, Augusta, ME 04330
  • Haley’s Tire & Service Center Bangor – 47 Bangor Mall Blvd, Bangor, ME 04401
  • Haley’s Tire & Service Center Biddeford – 124 Elm Street, Biddeford, ME 04001
  • Haley’s Tire & Service Center Falmouth – Route 1 Falmouth Shop Center, Falmouth, ME  04105 

In addition to being an authorized Goodyear, Dunlop and Kelly Tires dealer, Haley’s Tire is a full-service repair shop. Besides making sure your tires have enough tread on them, Haley’s offers a host of tune-up and maintenance services– oil changes, alignments, brakes service (including free brake inspections), transmission maintenance—that can help motorists avoid the summer bummer, otherwise known as a breakdown while on a summer driving vacation. 

For more information about Haley’s Tire, including store locations and directions, please visit www.haleystire.com .
