Jarris, MD, MBA, a nationally known expert in national healthcare policy, clinical quality initiatives, and disease prevention and wellness, has been named Chief Medical Officer at the March of Dimes Foundation, effective February 15, 2017.

In his new role, Dr. Jarris, who currently serves as Senior Vice President, Maternal and Child Health Program Impact at the March of Dimes, will lead the Foundation’s medical and public health efforts to reduce infant mortality, birth defects and premature birth, the leading causes of death and disability among babies in the United States.

“We are pleased to welcome Dr. Paul Jarris as the next Chief Medical Officer of the March of Dimes Foundation,” said Gary Dixon, Chair of the National Board of Trustees. “Throughout his career in public health and healthcare, he has advanced critical health issues at the local, state and federal levels. This experience will be crucial to meeting March of Dimes targets for reducing preterm birth rates across the country.”

Before he joined the March of Dimes in 2015, Dr. Jarris was Executive Director of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), where he partnered with the March of Dimes to challenge all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to lower their preterm birth rates.

Previously, Dr. Jarris served as Commissioner of Health for the State of Vermont, where he led healthcare policy matters and championed new public health initiatives, addressing access to care, prevention, and the factors that impact population health.  In addition, he has held a number of health insurance executive-level positions, including President and CEO of Vermont Permanente Medical Group. Throughout his career, Dr. Jarris has received numerous prestigious award and honors, and has served as a member of many health-related boards and committees.

The appointment of Dr. Jarris follows the retirement of Edward R.B. McCabe, MD, PhD.

“We’re grateful for the leadership and legacy of Dr. McCabe,” said Stacey M. Stewart, MBA, President-Elect of the March of Dimes. “The advances that have been made under his guidance have left an indelible impact on the lives of mothers and babies.  We wish Dr. McCabe the best in his retirement and express appreciation for his work to smoothly transition Dr. Jarris into his new role.”

Catholic Relief Services Supports Pope Francis’ Appeal to End Violence in Aleppo; Syria

0

BALTIMORE, Dec. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — With a ceasefire collapsing in Aleppo Wednesday, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) supports the efforts of Pope Francis, who appealed for “an end to the violence and the peaceful resolution of hostilities” in Syria. Pope Francis also called for full respect of international law in a letter sent yesterday to the President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, through Cardinal Mario Zenari, Apostolic Nuncio to Syria.

For more information on Catholic Relief Services visit, www.crs.org and www.crsespanol.org.

As a humanitarian organization that has come to the aid of more than 1.25 million war-affected Syrians across the Middle East and Europe, CRS calls on all sides of this conflict to safeguard lives and ensure humanitarian access. 

“Peace is the only viable option,” said Sean Callahan, CRS’ chief operating officer, who returned from a visit to the region this week.  “Far too many lives have been lost in this conflict, and we join Pope Francis’ call to protect human rights, grant safe passage for all those trying to flee the violence, and for urgent humanitarian aid to reach those who desperately need it.”

Bishop Gregory J. Mansour of the Eparchy of Saint Maron in Brooklyn, NY, and CRS board chairman, added: “In my many travels to the region, I’ve witnessed the harrowing circumstances that millions of Syrians have lived through since the war began nearly six years ago. Let us heed the call of the Holy Father and end the violence and pray for a peaceful resolution to the hostilities.”

The United States must renew the serious international, diplomatic effort to end the fighting in Syria and find solutions to the conflict. CRS urges the U.S. Administration and the international community to work together to provide immediate and impartial humanitarian assistance, and to encourage steps towards an inclusive society in Syria that protects the rights of all its citizens. This is the only way the displaced will be able to return home. 

“The path ahead will be arduous, but the time is long past for the international community to pursue diplomacy and peace in Syria and the region,” added Bishop Oscar Cantu of Las Cruces, NM, who chairs the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) International Justice and Peace Committee.  “In the final analysis only peace will end the refugee crisis, preserve the Christian presence, and allow inclusive societies to be built that respect the human rights of all.”

Independent Podcasters Can Earn Money From Advertisements

0

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Podomatic and AdvertiseCast have joined forces to help independent podcasters earn money from advertisements.

Podomatic, a podcasting platform and the largest community of independent podcasters, has joined forces with AdvertiseCast, an advertising marketplace, to provide podcasters with increased revenue opportunities from businesses and brands looking to advertise through podcasting which continues to increase in popularity as an advertising medium.

Many podcasters are independent creators with a passion and craft who would love to make money from advertisements but are often not considered by advertising companies or larger brands because the smaller podcasters don’t have large followings of listeners. At the same time, smaller businesses and brands aren’t often able to afford the advertising rates demanded by large, national brands or agencies.  Podomatic and AdvertiseCast’s partnership focuses on independent podcasters and creates a marketplace for advertisers to place ads in independent podcasts. Unlike other forms of media, podcast listeners are more likely to make a purchase after listening to an ad in a podcast since the podcaster has a close relation with the listening audience.

“Podomatic’s new partnership with AdvertiseCast is what the industry and small independent podcasters were waiting for,” said Sloan Wilson, head of Partnerships at Podomatic.  “It was about time for this to happen. Many independent podcasters were left frustrated by advertising agencies that did not understand the opportunity and the special relationship that exists between podcasters and their audiences.”

Podcasters can join Podomatic at www.Podomatic.com and create their profile for advertisers to view and place advertisements. The listing is free and takes about 10 minutes to complete. Podcasters also get a large percentage of the revenue from the advertisement with 80% of the revenue from the ad going to the podcaster.

“We are very excited to be partnering with Podomatic.  They have the world’s largest community of independent podcasters and we are honored they have chosen us to be their advertising partner.  We are looking forward to helping their clients find show sponsors.” – Trevr Smithlin, Founder and CEO at AdvertiseCast

ABOUT PODOMATIC
Podomatic is a global leader in providing publishing and hosting services to podcasters. As the world’s largest community of independent podcasters, Podomatic’s core mission is to build the best tools and platform to help podcasters succeed. For more information, visit  www.Podomatic.com.
