MY DR NOW Clock

TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — MY DR NOW is pleased to announce the opening of its newest clinic at 2480 N Silverbell Rd, Suite 100, Tucson, AZ 85745, with doors officially opening Wednesday, January 7th at 8:00 AM. The clinic is located at the northeast corner of Silverbell and Grant, inside Silverbell Plaza near Safeway and Walgreens, bringing daily access to family medicine to West Tucson with the goal of making it easier to establish a long-term family doctor without the wait or hassle.

MY DR NOW Clock

Across Tucson, many families are experiencing a familiar challenge: it can be difficult to find a primary care provider who is accepting new patients, and even harder to get an appointment without waiting weeks. MY DR NOW is opening at Silverbell & Grant to help close that gap by offering ongoing primary care—the kind of consistent care that supports families year after year—while also providing the convenience Tucson residents need to fit healthcare into busy schedules.

MY DR NOW is open with appointments daily and always accepting new patients, making it easy to be seen and practical to prioritize long-term health—whether that means managing blood pressure, keeping up with routine labs, staying current on immunizations, coordinating care, or building a preventive plan that helps patients feel their best. The commitment to maintaining high quality standards of care in addition to daily access makes MY DR NOW a unique and creative approach, embracing Tucson’s creative spirit. Because healthcare should feel human, not hurried.

“Tucson deserves primary care that’s both personal and accessible,” Dr. Payam Zamani, Founder and CEO of MY DR NOW continued. “Too many people are stuck waiting for appointments or being told a practice isn’t taking new patients. We opened this clinic so families can establish a reliable primary care relationship—one that supports prevention, long-term health goals, and day-to-day needs—while still making it easy to be seen when life gets busy.”

At a time when family practices still run on banker’s hours and booking rules that leave patients waiting days or weeks, MY DR NOW is challenging that old system without losing what people value most: a real relationship with a primary doctor. By pairing modern, same-day availability with continuity of care, MY DR NOW keeps the feel of a personal physician—while making it possible to be seen evenings, weekends, and on the day you actually need it.

About MY DR NOW:

MY DR NOW is dedicated to transforming the way primary care is delivered by offering both scheduled appointments and walk-in services at all its clinics. With a strong focus on accessibility and convenience, MY DR NOW provides comprehensive healthcare services, including family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, annual physicals, immunizations, chronic disease management, and prescription refills. The company’s innovative approach ensures that everyone in the community can receive high-quality medical care at their convenience—whether at one of its numerous clinic locations, through in-home visits, or via video visits.

Availability also increased in 2025, according to a Texas Realtors report.

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A record-setting number of Texas homes sold for $1 million or more from November 2024 to October 2025, according to the 2025 Texas Sales of Million-Dollar Homes Report released today by Texas Realtors. The 14,418 homes sold represent a 12% increase over the previous year. The $24.5 billion collective sales value of those homes is also a new record.

Texas Association of Realtors logo.

More homes were available in the $1 million+ price range in 2025, with 32,793 new listings, compared to 28,325 new listings in the previous year.

While 4.3% of all homes sold in Texas were $1 million+ homes, those properties made up 17.2% of all residential sales dollar volume in the state, which was an increase from 15.7% the previous year.

“High-end homes continue to be a small but mighty segment of the market,” said Jennifer Wauhob, Chairman of Texas Realtors. “Texans remain confident in the value of these properties, whether they are drawn to outstanding amenities, prime locations, or both.”

Sales increased at least 10% in the largest metro areas

All four of the largest metros had increases in $1 million+ home sales of at least 10%. The Houston MSA had the largest increase at 18%.

Almost 90% of the $1 million+ homes sold in Texas last year were in one of the four largest metro areas. At 38%, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington had the largest share, with 5,485 homes worth a combined $9.7 billion. Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands was second, with 27%. Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos had the third-highest percentage of $1 million+ sales with 19%, followed by San Antonio-New Braunfels, at 5%. The rest of Texas combined for 11%.

The average price per square foot of $1 million+ homes increased to $423 from $418 last year and was more than double the $188 average price per square foot of all Texas homes.

New statistics: median closing prices, percentage of listing prices they represent

This year’s report includes statistics for median closing price and closing price as a percentage of the original listing price.

Across Texas, $1 million+ homes closed for 93% of their original listing price in 2025. The Austin and Dallas MSAs were also at 93%, while in the Houston MSA, such homes closed for 94% of their original listing price and for 90% in the San Antonio MSA.

The median closing price for $1 million+ homes statewide was $1,370,000. Of the largest metro areas, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington had the highest median closing price at $1,421,560. The next highest was Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands at $1,385,000. Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos and San Antonio-New had median closing prices of $1,325,000 and $1,300,709 respectively.

“The million-dollar market is nuanced and highly local,” Wauhob said. “Small details can have a big financial impact. And a Texas Realtor brings the expertise, discretion, and market insight clients need to compete, negotiate, and close with confidence.”

Healthy Americas Foundation® “Real or Synthetic 2.0”

Healthy Americas Foundation

New resource equips individuals and families to
navigate the digital information landscape and identify synthetic content

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Given advances with AI and increased threats of misinformation and scams the Healthy Americas Foundation® (HAF) announced the release of Real or Synthetic 2.0. This digital health guide is an expanded and fully updated resource designed to help individuals recognize, question, and respond to the growing challenge of misinformation, disinformation, and synthetic media. The resources are available in English wait 2click.org and Spanish antesdelclic.org.

Healthy Americas Foundation

“We are thrilled to support people in taking the Wait2Click Challenge,” said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, President and CEO of the Healthy Americas Foundation®. “Version 2.0 builds on our commitment to helping individuals strengthen their digital health by using the power of animation and storytelling to better discern what is real and what is synthetic in today’s information environment.”

The Real or Synthetic resource, was developed in partnership with The Carter Center and integrates the latest insights on artificial intelligence (AI), algorithms, and brain science to explain how information influences perception and behavior online. Through interactive discussion, reflection exercises, and short videos accessible via QR code, users explore how memory, attention, and emotion are used to shape what people believe and share.

This new version 2.0 also includes updated examples, key definitions of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation, and an expanded “Digital Health Checklist” encouraging users to set boundaries with technology and verify information before sharing.

“Our collaboration with HAF represents our shared commitment to equipping communities with the knowledge to navigate a complex digital world,” said Daniel Richardson of The Carter Center’s Digital Threats to Democracy Program. “Through these tools, people can pause, reflect, and take that extra moment to protect themselves and their communities.”

To bring these lessons to life, Hector Cantú and Carlos Castellanos, creators of the Baldo comic strip—America’s favorite familia—developed engaging video segments and characters that illustrate common online scenarios. “We connect with a vast audience through humor and relatable stories,” said Cantú. “With Real or Synthetic 2.0, we bring lessons to everyday experiences.” Castellanos added, “We hope these animations help people slow down, think critically, and share responsibly.”

The resources in English wait 2click.org and Spanish antesdelclic.org include QR codes linking to videos that demonstrate how synthetic and real information can be hard to tell apart—and why pausing before you click (Wait2Click) makes all the difference. Also available is a facilitator’s guide that includes participants’ materials.

A New Kind of Care Arrives in Compton: Habitat Health with Kaiser Permanente Opens South Los Angeles PACE Center for Adults Age 55 and Over

0
Habitat Health South LA includes a day center for socializing, activities, and meals.

The new center strengthens the local care infrastructure, delivering integrated medical, social, and in-home care to help older adults age with dignity in their communities.

COMPTON, Calif., Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Habitat Health, in collaboration with Kaiser Permanente, today announced the opening of its first center in the Los Angeles area, serving eligible adults age 55 and older in South Los Angeles. The program offers primary and specialty care, transportation, in-home support, meals, prescriptions, social activities and more—all managed under one roof.

The Habitat Health South LA Center includes an onsite clinic for primary and urgent care.

Kaiser Permanente’s Southern California and Habitat Health participants can access industry-leading specialty and hospital-based services at well-established medical centers across the region, including Kaiser Permanente facilities in Downey, Los Angeles, South Bay, and West Los Angeles.

This regional access ensures participants receive coordinated specialty care close to home, while their day-to-day care is managed through Habitat Health’s South LA Center. These services are typically available at no cost to participants who qualify for both Medicare and Medi-Cal through PACE, the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, which helps seniors continue living independently at home.

Why This Matters for South Los Angeles

South Los Angeles adults living with chronic conditions – such as diabetes, asthma or hypertension, face significantly higher rates of preventable hospitalizations and emergency department visits than those living in other parts of the county. For example, the diabetes-related hospitalization rate is 2.5 times higher than in West Los Angeles—highlighting serious gaps in outpatient care. Yet the region remains one of the most medically underserved in the county.

Many residents also speak a primary language other than English, creating additional barriers to accessing culturally competent care—a gap Habitat Health is working to close.

“Bringing this center to Compton is about expanding care options for aging adults, including care beyond the four walls of the clinic,” said Dr. Bechara Choucair, chief health officer, Kaiser Permanente, and a Habitat Health board member. “Our partnership with Habitat Health enables Kaiser Permanente to deliver integrated care to more adults 55 and older in South Los Angeles—so they can better manage chronic conditions, avoid unnecessary hospital visits, and continue living in the communities they call home.”

Proven Impact, Rooted in Community

The PACE model is proven to improve health outcomes for older adults, with benefits including fewer hospitalizations, better mental health, enhanced quality of life for both seniors and caregivers, and reduction in racial and economic health disparities.

Habitat Health’s collaboration with Kaiser Permanente brings this evidence-based, community-centered care model to scale in South Los Angeles, to deliver consistent, trusted care to residents in over 60 local zip codes from Long Beach and Watts to Inglewood and Lynwood.

“Opening our center in Compton helps close a real gap in access to care for older adults across South Los Angeles.” said Matthew Bennett, CEO of Habitat Health. “Our goal is simple: to make care easier to reach, more personal, and truly centered on helping older adults stay independent and engaged in the communities they call home.”

About Habitat Health

Habitat Health empowers older adults to live independently by providing comprehensive insurance, medical, and social support services in collaboration with Kaiser Permanente. The program redefines aging in place to bring more good days and a lasting sense of belonging to participants and their caregivers. The new center is located at 1005 East Rosecrans Avenue, Compton, CA.

The Salvation Army Encourages All To Give With Joy Before Year’s End as Uncertainty Drives Higher Need Nationwide

Everyday generosity can ensure every person’s needs are met in the year ahead

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Salvation Army is calling on the public to give with joy before the end of the year, following a season defined by economic uncertainty for people across the income spectrum and a growing demand for essential services in communities nationwide.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/the-salvation-army/9358655-en-salvation-army-end-of-year-giving-2025

Rising costs, ongoing inflationary pressure, and economic volatility have left millions of households struggling to afford basic necessities such as food, housing, and utilities. Those pressures were felt acutely ahead of the holidays this year during the federal government shutdown, when delays in assistance coincided with a surge in need. The Salvation Army food pantries in many communities saw shelves emptied as families turned to local nonprofits for immediate help.

At the same time, the public has demonstrated that generosity endures even in uncertain times. This year’s Giving Tuesday delivered record-breaking results, with donors contributing more than $4 billion to charities nationwide, a powerful signal that compassion remains strong as the holiday giving season continues.

“Economic uncertainty has shaped this year for so many, whether they’re living paycheck to paycheck or navigating unexpected financial strain,” said Commissioner Merle Heatwole, national commander of The Salvation Army. “Yet amid these challenges, we’ve witnessed extraordinary generosity. Time and again, people have stepped forward with compassion. That generosity has the power to change the lives not only of the recipients, but of those who give as well.”

Nearly half of The Salvation Army’s public support arrives during the final weeks of the year, making year-end giving critical to sustaining programs that provide food, shelter, utility assistance, disaster relief, and spiritual care in nearly every ZIP code across the country. Inflation has impacted nonprofits such as The Salvation Army by increasing its operating costs as the price of necessities rises. As demand continues to climb alongside costs, The Salvation Army remains committed to serving all who seek help for as long as resources allow, and, due to tax code changes, those who plan to make large gifts or itemize their charitable contributions may see greater tax benefits by donating before the end of this year as opposed to waiting for 2026. There’s no time like the present to help the growing number of families reaching out for assistance.

“Every gift, large or small, helps ensure we can continue meeting urgent needs today and preparing for the challenges of tomorrow,” Commissioner Heatwole said. “Your generosity goes directly toward feeding, clothing, housing, and caring for millions in America.”

Those looking to make a meaningful, tax-deductible gift before Dec. 31 can support The Salvation Army by:

  • Making a one-time or recurring donation at www.SalvationArmyUSA.org.
  • Giving through securities, IRA rollovers, or planned gifts,
  • Donating cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.

About The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army annually helps nearly 28 million people in America overcome poverty, addiction, and economic hardships by preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and meeting human needs in His name without discrimination in nearly every ZIP code. By providing food, shelter, eviction prevention assistance, emergency disaster relief, rehabilitation, after-school and summer youth programs, spiritual enrichment, and more, The Salvation Army is doing the most good at more than 7,400 centers of operation around the country.
