Book Exploring the Strategic Value of Intrapreneurs is Reissued with Additional Insight

BOSTON, Mass. -- In celebration of the one-year anniversary of the e-book and paperback launch of "Intrapreneurs: Who, What, How and Why" (ISBN: 978-1734956900; paper), author Susan Foley has announced the book has been reissued with 12 new articles - making it a 310-page exploration of the critical role intrapreneurs play within the business environment. The new version is identified with a blue banner across the lower corner of the book, with updates offering even greater depth into the nuances that separate intrapreneurs from the more traditional employee.

In its first year, "Intrapreneurs: Who, What, How and Why" received an overwhelmingly positive response, with business professionals across the globe gaining helpful insight into the role of an intrapreneur and intrapreneurs themselves better understanding the value they bring to their respective companies. The book has encouraged business leaders to take a closer look at who fits the definition of an intrapreneur within their organizations, and how to strategically leverage their skillset for a business model of the future.

"'Intrapreneurs: Who, What, How and Why' is filled with real-world examples and actionable recommendations to help you understand the talent and competencies required to drive innovations into successful businesses," commented Guillaume Hervé, President of G3point0 Consulting and author of "Winning at Intrapreneurship."

"Intrapreneurs: Who, What, How and Why" defines what an intrapreneur is, the significant impact they have on an organization, and how they are serving as agents of change by rewriting the rules of business. In the book, Foley clearly defines intrapreneurship and chronicles the journeys of intrapreneurs across the globe, helping readers understand their individual paths to success and lessons learned along the way. She demonstrates how they drive innovation, serve as a catalyst for positive change, and how their unique mindset distinguishes them as a valuable asset capable of driving unprecedented business growth.

The newly-reissued version includes an expanded section focused on leadership and the fundamental shift that is happening at the executive level. It takes a candid look at the challenges of being an intrapreneur in the current business climate, explores the operating system that drives them, and defines the strategic value of intrapreneurship and why it should be an area of focus for businesses.

"This book takes a very close look at how businesses of any size can leverage intrapreneurs to create value and generate new revenue growth," said Foley. "I'm proud that 'Intrapreneurs: Who, What, How and Why' has generated buzz around this topic and is helping business leaders take notice and understand how intrapreneurs contribute to a sustainable future."

The updated version of the book is now available for purchase or download on Amazon, at a REDUCED PRICE for a LIMITED TIME: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08B41W14M/

Kalyagen and Uniwell Announce Partnership to Manufacture Proprietary and Third-Party Skin Care Products

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Kalyagen® and Uniwell Laboratories announced today that they have entered into a joint venture to produce the unique, patent-pending Juviqa Stem Cell Beauty System and expand Uniwell's manufacturing capabilities to include cosmetics.

"We are pleased to announce our expanded partnership with UniWell to produce the Juviqa skin care system," said Christian Drapeau, CEO and Chief Scientist of Kalyagen®. "This will help us further our mission to bring science-based cutting-edge stem cell products to consumers, this time targeted to provide anti-aging and regeneration to the body's largest, and most visible, organ - the skin."

Through its affiliate Biogen Stemceuticals, Inc., Kalyagen® has invested in and installed at UniWell a unique production line that has been designed and calibrated to allow for the manufacture of skincare products using all-natural ingredients. Currently, most skincare products - even high-end ones and products claiming to be "natural"- are still using chemical emulsifiers and/or antimicrobials which can be harsh and tend to dry the skin.

"We've worked with Kalyagen for some time now manufacturing its STEMREGEN stem cell supplement," said Armando Fitz, VP of Sales of UniWell. "Through this partnership with Kalyagen, we now have the ability to manufacture the Juviqa stem cell beauty system and produce white label and private-branded cosmetic and skincare products and stem cell-based serums for our current and future clients."

"There is no skincare system anywhere like Juviqa," said Herbert Dogan, CMO of Kalyagen®. "It delivers visible, transformational results that, until now, have only been available through the use of needles and expensive treatments. It will truly create a paradigm shift in the skincare industry."

Five years in development, Juviqa is a seven-product, five-step skincare system that can be applied at home or in a spa. It is a unique and patent-pending blend of a) proprietary plant-based extracts documented to allow the body to release its own stem cells to repair and rejuvenate the skin, b) additional science-based nutrients documented to enhance the biological processes that ultimately diminish signs of aging, targeting smoothness, elasticity, firmness, and radiance, c) a unique microdermabrasion product that trigger the skin's inherent repair process, d) a novel breakthrough skin penetrant allowing the skin to absorb large regenerative molecules provided by the last crown jewel of the Juviqa system, e) a stem cell regenerative serum. Juviqa is available as a complete system, though several underlying components will be available separately. Kalyagen® and Biogen Stemceuticals are seeking cosmetic industry joint venture partners.

About Kalyagen

Kalyagen® was founded by Christian Drapeau, author of the bestseller Cracking the Stem Cell Code. Kalyagen® is a leader in the research and development of natural products aimed at supporting stem cell function of the body. Stem cells constitute the natural repair system of the body, and stem cell enhancers have been documented to strongly contribute to improving health and quality of life.

Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware Contributes $250,000 to Exceptional Care for Children’s Future Young Adult Center

NEWARK, Del. -- Exceptional Care for Children (ECC), Delaware's first and only residential, pediatric skilled nursing facility, recently received a $250,000 contribution from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware towards its future young adult center to provide specialized care for youth aging out of pediatric care.

BluePrints for the Community, the donor-advised fund of Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware at the Delaware Community Foundation, has contributed over $21 million to the community since its inception in 2007. It was established to serve Delawareans, with emphasis on, but not limited to, the needs of the uninsured and underserved, and to reduce health care disparities in minority population and address social determinants of health.

"Exceptional Care for Children is unique in its purpose, mission, and resident population as a whole, which sets us apart from other healthcare providers. In order to continue to meet the unique needs of our children as they age, our organization plans to construct a contiguous building on our campus that will eventually be home to our adolescents and young adults. A gift of this size is transformational for our organization and we are grateful that Highmark Delaware recognizes the growing needs of medically-fragile children and their families in our community," said John L. White, LNHA, Executive Director of Exceptional Care for Children.

Presently, the residents of Exceptional Care for Children must transfer out of ECC prior to their 21st birthday. To fill the healthcare gap that exists between adolescent and adulthood for medically complex individuals, ECC has launched a capital campaign to construct a 22-bed skilled nursing building on their property called the "Bridge Unit". This building will work to ensure that there is a deliberate transition and not transfer of care for Delaware's most fragile citizens.

"Exceptional Care for Children has long provided quality skilled nursing for some of our most vulnerable children. We are proud to be part of their new bridge unit to continue caring for youth with unique needs and circumstances," said Nick Moriello, President of Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware.

About Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield

Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware serves approximately 441,000 members through the company's health care benefits business. It is an influential company in the market generating an economic impact of $135 million and supporting more than 1,000 direct and indirect jobs across the state. Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, an association of independent Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies.

About Exceptional Care for Children

California Surgeon is the First to Offer Transumbilical Breast Augmentation with Silicone Implants

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. -- Jacob Haiavy, MD of Inland Cosmetic Surgery has made history by performing transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) with silicone gel-filled implants. Dr. Haiavy is only the third surgeon to ever place silicone implants through the discreet incision in the navel.

It was previously believed that only unfilled saline breast implants could be placed through the small incision in the umbilicus, with the saline filling being added through a tube after placement. Silicone gel-filled implants, on the other hand, are pre-filled, and were thus thought to require a larger incision than is possible through the transumbilical plane. This left patients desiring the natural, lightweight feel of silicone breast implants with prominent incisions on or near the breasts.

The addition of the transumbilical incision option for silicone gel-filled implants is a significant milestone in the history of breast augmentation; since attaining FDA approval in 2006, silicone implants have become the preferred implant of hundreds of thousands of breast augmentation patients every year. Not only is the small TUBA belly button incision inconspicuous compared with incisions around the breasts, but Dr. Haiavy believes this technique also facilitates an easier recovery compared with traditional augmentation methods.

"A 'scarless' transumbilical approach appeals to so many patients, but many were torn between this preferred incision option and their desire for the wonderful feel of silicone implants. I am delighted to report patients can now have the best of both worlds," explains Dr. Haiavy.

Transumbilical silicone breast augmentation (TUSBA) is performed along the body's natural planes.

After over 20 years of experience with TUBA using saline implants, Dr. Haiavy collaborated with colleague Gabriel H. Patino, MD to develop the technique for placing silicone implants. He has dubbed the technique for placing silicone implants through a transumbilical incision "TUSBA," which stands for "Transumbilical Silicone Breast Augmentation."

Like TUBA, the TUSBA surgery is performed using blunt instruments to create a tunnel from the incision in the belly button to the breast. Through this tunnel, a pocket is created under the chest muscle, the breast pocket is expanded, and then the work is carefully inspected using an endoscopic camera.

Finally, the silicone gel implants are placed using the Keller Funnel(r) No-Touch(tm) technique, in which the implant is transferred directly from its sterile packaging using a hydrated plastic funnel, which is much like a piping bag used for frosting a cake. The Keller Funnel(r) allows the implant to be placed gently, with excellent precision and zero direct handling by the surgeon, thereby reducing the risk of infection.

While patients will experience a similar soreness in the breasts as they do after other breast augmentation techniques, there is minimal discomfort in the abdomen, Dr. Haiavy explains. He prescribes routine recovery measures, but finds that patients have an easier recovery overall after TUBA versus other augmentation methods.

There is one caveat to the technique: Dr. Haiavy limits TUSBA patients to a maximum breast implant volume of about 400 cc, or an increase of roughly two cup sizes. Still, he says, this is a substantial enough increase that many patients will be able to reach their desired outcome with TUSBA.

"Good candidates for TUSBA breast augmentation include non-smokers in good health who want the natural feel of silicone breast implants without visible scarring. It would also be an excellent choice for those who want to replace lost breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss. I am confident I can achieve an excellent outcome for patients requiring silicone implants of 400 cc or less."

About Inland Cosmetic Surgery:

Inland Cosmetic Surgery offers comprehensive cosmetic surgery and aesthetic services to patients in Rancho Cucamonga and surrounding areas in Southern California. As Medical Director of Inland Cosmetic Surgery and Ahava Medical Spa, Dr. Haiavy has performed over 15,000 cosmetic surgery procedures and is known for his caring approach and superb results.
