Outset Medical Appoints Head of Government Affairs and Market Access

September 25, 2019

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Outset Medical, a commercial-stage company delivering first-of-its-kind technology into the growing global dialysis market, today announced the appointment of Tonya Saffer as the company’s Head of Government Affairs and Market Access. Saffer joins Outset from the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), the largest patient-centric organization dedicated to the awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease in the U.S. In her role at Outset, Saffer will be responsible for leading government affairs, market access and patient engagement efforts for the company.

While at NKF, Saffer successfully led the foundation’s overall federal agency engagement, including expanding opportunities to work with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Congress, and state agencies to support health professionals and healthcare systems to prevent, identify and treat chronic kidney disease (CKD). She led the development and advocacy to implement new policies to improve value-based care for CKD at all stages and to increase the number of kidneys available for transplantation. Prior to NKF, Saffer worked at Avalere Health as Manager of Reimbursement and Product Commercialization, where she served as an advisor and expert on life science product launch, reimbursement strategies and strategic policy and advocacy activities with patient organizations.

“We are thrilled to have Tonya on our team. Her deep understanding of health policy and kidney disease will help us achieve our mission to transform the dialysis experience,” said Leslie Trigg, Chief Executive Officer at Outset. “While at the National Kidney Foundation, Tonya has been at the center of advocating for advances in kidney care that benefit patients. Her experience and insight will help drive Outset’s patient engagement and government affairs, as well as support the company’s efforts to make Tablo more accessible to patients.”

“Outset is advancing kidney care with Tablo, a new patient-centered dialysis technology designed to make it easier for patients to manage their own care, as well as to enable new models of care in dialysis,” said Saffer. “As a patient advocate, I have seen the struggle of patients living on dialysis, but I have also seen how empowering them to manage their own care can dramatically improve their physical and mental health and quality of life. The team at Outset is committed to changing the current dialysis paradigm. I’m honored to join them as we work towards the goal of empowering patients to have more choices and control over their kidney care.”

Although more than 91 million dialysis treatments take place in the U.S. each year and an estimated $65 billion is spent on ESRD care, little meaningful technology or service model innovation has been introduced in decades. Tablo was specifically designed to reduce the cost and complexity of dialysis, while improving the experience for patients and providers. With real-time water purification and dialysis fluid production integrated in a single, compact system, Tablo functions like a dialysis clinic on wheels. Requiring just an electrical outlet and tap water to operate, Tablo frees providers from having to rely on expensive clinic infrastructure, enabling on-demand, cost-effective dialysis in a range of environments. Tablo was designed to look and feel like an intuitive consumer product, keeping end-user simplicity in mind. Wireless data, sensor-based automation, and an animated touchscreen aim to make Tablo easy to learn and use for healthcare professionals and patients alike.

About Outset Medical
Outset Medical is dedicated to delivering patient-centered dialysis through service model and technology innovation aimed at reducing cost and transforming the patient care experience. Outset’s Tablo System is FDA-cleared and CE-marked for use in acute and chronic care settings. In addition to its acute and chronic care commercial expansion, the company is conducting a clinical trial exploring the use of Tablo for home dialysis.

Quinceañera Planning App To Hit App Stores In 2019

September 25, 2019

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Sept. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Gone are the days of planning a quinceañera using pen and paper. Mi Padrino, the nation’s leading online Hispanic event planning platform, announced that it will be combining its services to an all-in-one mobile app. The app is due to be released by the end of 2019.

The app features will allow quince planners to handle all of their party planning elements in one place. Planners can create event pages where they can update locations and share the celebration timeline. Event hosts can send out invitations and manage RSVPs right within the platform. App users can also budget their expenses and build a wishlist of things they’ll need for their party that guests can contribute to. There are also checklists to help event planners pace themselves through the process, complete with articles to help guide them along the way. The app will be listed in both Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store for free.

“This is such an important milestone for Mi Padrino,” said Kim Gamez, founder, and CEO of Mi Padrino. “I remember planning my son’s quinceañero three years ago and how difficult it was to find any guides for the process and traditions. Now Mi Padrino is here to help other families feel less stressed while planning their dream celebrations from start to finish. And, with the new app, it’ll be even more accessible for families throughout the country, and soon the world!”

Mi Padrino’s app is first going to be limited to mobile devices in the United States, but Gamez doesn’t want to just stop there. According to Gamez, Mi Padrino’s end-goal is to launch its service in Mexico where the quinceañera tradition first started.

About Mi Padrino

Our mission is to help plan Hispanic events sin fronteras. Our unique marketplace focuses on every aspect of the event planning journey. By helping Latinos find and hire vendors, products, and resources, they can more easily focus on what matters: the reason for the celebration. Mi Padrino began in 2017 and has proudly assisted over 500,000 families in planning their celebrations.

Solis ranked Top 3 among Asian brands on BloombergNEF’s Solar Module & Inverter Bankability 2019 Report

September 25, 2019

NINGBO, China, Sept. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) recently released its Solar Module & Inverter Bankability 2019 report. For the first time, the company made investigations into solar inverters, surveying the bankability of several inverter brands.

‘Bankability’ means banks are more willing to offer non-recourse loans to photovoltaic power generation projects that opt to use a particular inverter brand.

Solis’ inverters ranked third for Asian brands: a testament to the brand’s products being well-recognised by global technical experts and respondents. This incredible result also means project developers are more likely to receive bank financing if they use Solis’ products over those of other brands.

With a team of experts spread across six continents, BNEF analyses complex data from around the globe to procure in-depth forecasts which highlight the financial, economic and political implications of industry-transforming trends and technologies.

For this survey, BNEF sought information from banks, developers and technical due diligence firms about which brands, out of 48 module manufacturers and 17 inverter manufacturers, they considered to be bankable.

Interestingly, regional differences are far starker when considering the bankability of inverters compared to modules. Unlike panels, inverters are less of a commodity as modules have only one function — producing energy — while inverters have multiple purposes. Aside from converting direct current into alternating current, inverters interact directly with the grid and aggregate power output data. As such, there are different types of inverters for different project requirements (for example, some projects require central inverters while string inverters are more suitable for others).

About Ginlong Technologies

Established in 2005, Ginlong (Solis) Technologies is one of the oldest and largest manufacturers of PV string inverters. Presented under the Solis brand, the company’s portfolio uses innovative string inverter technology to deliver first-class reliability that has been validated under the most stringent international certifications. Armed with a global supply chain, world-class R&D and manufacturing capabilities, Ginlong optimizes its inverters for each regional market, servicing and supporting its customers with its team of local experts.

Press Conference: Mission Neighborhood Centers, Inc. (MNC) Unveils Plans for a New Child Development Center at the Former Mission District Police Station

September 24, 2019

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Mission Neighborhood Centers, Inc. (MNC) has closed escrow on 1240 Valencia Street, a former police station that will soon open its doors as a new Early Childhood Education center and the new home of Mission Girls!

The press conference will take place on Wednesday, September 25, 11am – 11:35am at 1240 Valencia Street, Building Courtyard.

This is a significant victory for MNC and the communities it serves. This would not have been possible without the support of MNC’s Early Childhood Education partners, visionary funders, local representatives, and dedicated staff.

“We are incredibly grateful for the commitment that Governor Newsom, Mayor Breed, local representatives, and partners like Kaiser Permanente have demonstrated to our most vulnerable communities,” said Santiago “Sam” Ruiz, CEO, Mission Neighborhood Centers, Inc. “We thank them for their leadership to strengthen Early Childhood Education in San Francisco and California at large.”

“Mission Neighborhood Centers is an important City partner and an integral part of the community,” said San Francisco Mayor London N. Breed. “With the purchase of this site, I am excited to see them continue their great work providing resources and services for our families and children for years to come.”

Formerly the location of the Mission District’s Police Station, this site will transform into a symbol of empowerment for the community, as MNC converts this space into a new Early Learning Center and the new home of Mission Girls! Mission Girls is a gender specific program that strives to empower young women to achieve academically and become agents of change in the community.

This effort and commitment to expand access to early childhood education programs spans beyond MNC, which is why it is leading a coalition that has been diligent in raising awareness at the Capitol and advocating for the necessary investments that will enable Title 5 providers to build the quality learning environments that our youngest learners need in order to thrive.

“Mission Neighborhood Centers is truly an anchor institution for District 9, and it is critical that they are able to have spaces in the Mission to continue to provide essential services for children and youth,” said San Francisco District 9 Supervisor Hillary Ronen. “I congratulate Sam Ruiz and his Board and staff for pushing so hard to acquire this building. They can count on my strongest advocacy at City Hall and beyond to make this project happen.”

“Kaiser Permanente’s mission is supporting the well-being of the communities we serve,” said Ron Groepper, Senior VP and area manager, Kaiser Permanente Greater San Francisco Area. “This grant will help address critical community needs among underserved children and families, by expanding access to health and educational services. These include assisting children with special needs and offering mental health counseling to families. We are proud to continue our commitment to helping San Franciscans live healthier lives.”

About Mission Neighborhood Centers, Inc. (MNC), is San Francisco’s preeminent Latino-led community-based organization. For over 60 years, MNC has been at the forefront of providing early childhood education, social and supportive services to low-income youth, families, and seniors in an engaging, inclusive, culturally appropriate environment that promotes community empowerment and economic prosperity.
