WASHINGTON, Nov. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — During this unprecedented time, it is expected that more holiday gifts and greetings will be sent through the mail, as families and friends will hold virtual celebrations instead of opening gifts in person. The Postal Service always encourages customers to send their holiday gifts and cards early. This year is no different.

The Postal Service begins planning for peak holiday season every January. To help handle the expected volume increase, the Postal Service has the ability to flex our network to meet the significant volume increases expected this year. This includes making sure the right equipment is available to sort, process and deliver the expected mail and package volumes. We also have 644,000 employees dedicated to ensuring gifts and greetings are delivered in time for the holidays.

Seasonal workers are hired when and where needed, and technology has been expanded to enhance package tracking throughout the USPS processing and transportation networks. Sunday delivery will be expanded beginning Nov. 29 to locations with high package volumes. USPS already delivers packages on Sundays in most major cities. Mail carriers will also deliver packages for an additional fee on Christmas Day in select locations. We thank our customers for their continued support, and our promise that we will continue to work hard to ensure their gifts and cards are delivered in time to virtually celebrate the holidays.

Busiest Mailing and Delivery Days

The busiest time of the season peaks two weeks before Christmas, when much of the last-minute shopping starts. Customer traffic is expected to increase beginning Dec. 7, with the week of Dec. 14-21 predicted to be the busiest mailing, shipping and delivery week.

Skip the Trip and Ship Online

Consumers don’t have to leave home to ship their packages. In these socially distant times, they can simply visit usps.com or use the Click-N-Ship feature for help shipping that holiday gift, ordering free Priority Mail boxes, printing shipping labels, purchasing postage and even requesting free next-day Package Pickup. And usps.com is always open.

2020 Holiday Shipping Deadlines

The Postal Service recommends the following mailing and shipping deadlines for expected delivery by Dec. 25 to Air/Army Post Office/Fleet Post Office/Diplomatic Post Office and domestic addresses*:

Stanford Children’s Health Launches Virtual HIV-Prevention Program

Using telehealth virtual visits, the Stanford Medicine Virtual PrEP Program, in partnership with Stanford Children’s Health, connects youth with pediatric and adolescent care providers specifically trained to provide sexual health counseling, labs, and adherence support for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).

STANFORD, Calif., Nov. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Stanford Children’s Health has launched the <a target="_blank"…

Using telehealth virtual visits, the Stanford Medicine Virtual PrEP Program, in partnership with Stanford Children’s Health, connects youth with pediatric and adolescent care providers specifically trained to provide sexual health counseling, labs, and adherence support for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).

STANFORD, Calif., Nov. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Stanford Children’s Health has launched the Stanford Medicine Virtual Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Program for Adolescents and Young Adults, which provides accessible and comprehensive HIV-prevention services, including PrEP, from a dedicated team of providers for adolescents and young adults 25 years and younger across the state of California.

https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/508605/Packard_Childrens_Logo.jpg

Using a secure telehealth system, youth enrolled in the Stanford Medicine Virtual PrEP Program, in partnership with Stanford Children’s Health, are connected with a pediatric and adolescent care provider specifically trained to provide sexual health counseling, labs, and adherence support for PrEP—a daily pill that when taken correctly reduces the risk of contracting HIV by more than 99 percent. PrEP is recommended for all adults and adolescents who are at risk (or anticipated risk) for HIV infection.

Serving the unique needs of youth 
In California, youth account for approximately 20 percent of new HIV diagnoses, yet they have the lowest reported PrEP use compared with older age groups. Stanford Children’s Health is the largest health care organization in the country that is working to address this gap in care for young patients and focused on providing PrEP access specifically for youth.

«Our mission is to improve access to quality PrEP care for adolescents and young adults,» said Geoff Hart-Cooper, MD, founder and medical director of the Virtual PrEP Program. «Discussing sexual health, particularly among adolescents who may still receive care from a pediatrician, can be uncomfortable for patients and even some providers. Our team of dedicated PrEP Navigators are specifically trained to provide an accepting, inclusive, and confidential environment to meet the needs of these patients and start individuals on treatment as soon as possible.»

Care provided through the Virtual PrEP Program is conducted remotely using a patient’s mobile device or computer. Following a virtual intake visit, patients are mailed an at-home testing kit; ongoing labs are conducted every three months at a local clinical laboratory, PrEP prescriptions are fulfilled via a patient’s local pharmacy, and patients have biweekly video calls with their dedicated PrEP Navigator. The program is available to anyone in the state of California regardless of whether they are an existing Stanford patient, and in almost all cases the cost is supported through various patient assistance programs.

«The remote nature of the Virtual PrEP Program eliminates the need for patients to travel to a care facility, making ongoing care convenient and efficient, which is especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic,» Hart-Cooper said. «Virtual care allows us to meet youth where they are, even during transition to college or other moves, and offers an added layer of confidentiality, as it allows providers to communicate with patients one-on-one, without involving a parent or other guardian if that is the patient’s preference.»

Bridging the gap for providers 
In addition to providing care for patients, the Virtual PrEP Program offers provider-training webinars to educate pediatricians throughout California about prescribing and monitoring PrEP.

«Some providers, particularly pediatricians, may not be aware of or trained to provide HIV-prevention tools, such as PrEP, or may not have experience discussing sexual health with young patients, which can make it difficult for youth to disclose sexual behavior, or lead to concerns about confidentiality,» said Megen Vo, MD, associate medical director of the Virtual PrEP Program. «By connecting patients with providers specifically dedicated to administering PrEP support, the Virtual PrEP Program is mitigating these existing barriers to treatment, and the remote nature of the program enables us to accept youth referrals from physicians all over the state of California.»

The impact of COVID-19: Addressing inequities in health care
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HIV disproportionately affects minorities, impacting one in two Black men who have sex with men (MSM) and one in four Latinx MSM, compared with one in 11 white MSM. Furthermore, white MSM are significantly more likely to report PrEP awareness, or engage in discussions about it with a provider, than Black or Latinx MSM. At the same time, these racial and ethnic minorities are most likely to be affected by COVID-19.

«Throughout the pandemic, providers have witnessed a dramatic decrease in PrEP use among new and continuing patients alike, and most commonly among minority patients younger than 26 years old,» said Carrie Chan, NP, associate medical director of the Virtual PrEP Program. «Our virtual care model can improve access to PrEP among racial and ethnic minorities, as well as provide specialized youth support, which is more critical than ever as we face the economic insecurities and health outcomes that are disproportionately affecting these groups during the COVID-19 pandemic.»

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The long-time home of global entrepreneur and philanthropist Bret Michaels, has recently been listed by Engel & Völkers Scottsdale real estate advisor, Bob Nathan, for $3.299 million. Nathan comments, «We could not be more honored to list the stunning, resort-style home of our friend, philanthropist and local valley resident, Bret Michaels.» Situated in the geometric center of Scottsdale, this veritable 5+ acre «Playground Oasis in the Desert» lies just behind a secure river stone and wrought-iron gated entry. The 9,000 square foot compound’s variety of living spaces has been the location for numerous TV shows like The Big Interview with Dan Rather, MTV’s Cribs and Rock n Roll Road Trip with Sammy Hagar, as well as a number of Michaels’ music videos and print publications. «If the walls could talk,» Nathan remarks, «they’d be recounting for days the stories of the parties, good times and stars who’ve worked and played here.»

Cabo-style Desert Lifestyle Estate

Michaels’ vision as it pertains to real estate acquisitions is simple, create something comfortable, and structurally sound with an amazing space to both entertain and enjoy an active lifestyle, set in a location in which people will love. An authentic Santa Fe architectural masterpiece, Michaels built out this 5-bed and 6 ½-bath estate with indoor and outdoor living in mind, filling it with custom design features too numerous to count, in addition to a separate guest house. Towering cacti and mature shade trees surround ornamental gardens blending seamlessly with the desert environs and one of the most sought after sunset views of the valley. The inside of the home brings to mind the natural surroundings, with its warm, desert tones and recessed spaces resembling adobe dwellings. An incredible oasis-like pool with custom waterslide, private dirt bike trail, and sports courts lit up on desert nights with authentic street lights are only a few of many features promising a lifestyle of enjoyment and relaxation. Nathan mentions, «There is the potential for the home to be sold completely turnkey with furniture included, minus the artwork. It’s a rare opportunity to own this type of property so close to downtown Scottsdale, and with such a grand scale of usable land.»

Always one to transform himself, Bret continues to make smart business moves, carving out a niche as a developer establishing unique properties with sought-after views, usable land, and expansive interior designs creating indoor/outdoor resort-style playgrounds similar to the Scottsdale compound.
