Dallas Health Care Consulting Firm Expands

Health Care Consulting Firm, American Healthcare Solutions, Expands Into Dallas

Combined, California and Texas are home to about 20% of the nation's hospitals, making the states huge healthcare hot-spots. With presence already established in the Golden State, the creation of a Texas office was the next logical step in expanding the success of the firm. American Healthcare Solutions Dallas functions as a full-service satellite, offering southern clients the same great product lines as the firm's Pittsburgh area headquarters.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 7, 2007 -- The great state of Texas has much to boast about. As well as being the largest state in the country, Texas possesses thriving industry, rich heritage, and loads of southern culture. American Healthcare Solutions is proud to share in Texas tradition with the opening their latest office in Dallas, TX.

Combined, California and Texas are home to about 20% of the nation's hospitals, making the states huge healthcare hot-spots. With presence already established in the Golden State, the creation of a Texas office was the next logical step in expanding the success of the firm. AHS Dallas functions as a full-service satellite, offering southern clients the same great product lines as the firm's Pittsburgh area headquarters.

This new site will be directed by Cheryl A. Odom, an experienced healthcare executive who was hand selected for the position. Cheryl holds Bachelor's degrees in both Business and Education from Texas A&M University and is actively affiliated with a number of groups including the Healthcare Financial Management Association and the Dallas-Fort Worth Business Group on Health. Ms. Odom has an extensive background in key accounts, business development, employee relations, information technology, telecommunications, and finance. Prior to joining the AHS team, she served as the Senior Vice President of VHA Southwest Inc. in Plano, Texas. There she achieved much success in establishing smooth operations with reduced overhead, facilitating quarterly management meetings among hospital executives, and developing business opportunities for member hospitals and affiliated physicians. Her efforts, in total, helped to generate $6 million in revenue. Cheryl's talent, entrepreneurial flare, and solid leadership make her a strong asset to the firm as well as a smart choice in spearheading this new venture. Ms. Odom views her appointment and the opportunity to work with AHS as "both exciting and rewarding."

One of the main focuses of AHS Dallas will be to further grow the firm's relationship with Texas HealthShare Inc., a subsidiary of the Texas Hospital Association. The established partnership positions AHS as an approved vendor for financial, productivity, leadership, and other services to the hundreds of hospital members associated. AHS Dallas will manage the firm's efforts in developing a stronger client base among this group and will serve as the primary contact for all related initiatives.

American Healthcare Solutions is thrilled with the addition of the Dallas office and is looking forward to the business opportunities to be gained through the newly appointed Texas team.

We have the talent and products to make a difference."

New Occupational Asbestos Exposure Information

LegalView to Update Mesothelioma Site with Occupational Asbestos Exposure Information

Recognizing that thousands of American workers may have had occupational exposure to asbestos during the 20th century, LegalView adds occupational mesothelioma information.

Denver, CO  - October 10, 2007 -- LegalView.com, your complete online resource for everything legal on the web, is proud to inform readers that they can now find even more complete, accurate information on the circumstances surrounding the deadly cancer mesothelioma through its mesothelioma law information portal.

Mesothelioma is a very serious type of lung cancer that is almost always caused by preventable occupational exposure to asbestos, a building material that was extremely common in shipyards, construction and other heavy industry in the decades following World War II. Hundreds of thousands of American workers and service members were exposed to asbestos in the course of their jobs.

Because mesothelioma symptoms can remain dormant for decades after exposure, mesothelioma continues to appear in retired workers even today. As a service to victims of mesothelioma and anyone who may have been exposed to asbestos, LegalView.com is proud to announce the development of an ever growing resource devoted to exploring occupations at risk from asbestos, with many articles detailing how employees in certain occupations might have a higher risk of becoming a mesothelioma victim.

Since the early 20th century it has been commonly known among the scientific and medical communities that asbestos causes mesothelioma and other serious health problems. According to several U.S. government reports, documents exposed in the 1970s illustrated that the asbestos industry and the federal government knew for decades that asbestos was dangerous, but covered it up, fearing a legal backlash As a result, workers in industries that used asbestos heavily continued to be exposed, in some cases as late as 1990, with some workers still possibly being exposed today. Decades later, these workers are at a drastically increased risk of being diagnosed with mesothelioma. And unfortunately, mesothelioma is almost always deadly; victims have a median survival rate of six months to a year after diagnosis.

Visitors who would like to learn more about the legal issues surrounding mesothelioma, asbestos exposure and related health concerns are invited to visit LegalView.com's new mesothelioma legal help portal at mesothelioma.legalview.com.

Recognizing that mesothelioma will be a public health problem for decades, LegalView has established a collection of original articles on the disease; a glossary of terms; up-to-date news articles; FDA alerts; and jury verdicts and settlements. In addition to new features, such as detailed information about mesothelioma symptoms, causes, companies that used asbestos, as well as treatment resources. Also, visitors to the mesothelioma portal can utilize the free mesothelioma lawyer referral service to find a mesothelioma attorney in their state.

The mesothelioma portal is just part of LegalView's collection of free, comprehensive information on the legal issues important to Americans. Visitors with broader legal concerns can use LegalView.com's many information portals to help them find a construction accident attorney, a brain injury lawyer, or a auto accident.

Along with the attorney referral services for these different issues, readers can find original, factual and clearly written information; the latest news and research, including blogs dedicated to a specific legal issue; government information and releases; and guides to relevant legal and medical terms.

LegalView.com is a free service to the public, brought to you by Legal WebTV Network, LLC, a Limited Liability Corporation created by a group of highly respected national law firms: Anapol Schwartz; Brent Coon and Associates; Burg Simpson; Cohen, Placitella and Roth; James F. Humphreys and Associates; Lopez McHugh; and Thornton and Naumes.

Mesothelioma Information on DVD

A New Mesothelioma DVD Offered

On this new DVD, a doctor explains mesothelioma stages, mesothelioma types, mesothelioma symptoms, and mesothelioma diagnosis. Most important mesothelioma treatments are discussed. This video is the first video in a new series of mesothelioma videos aimed at providing the most comprehensive information possible to patients of mesothelioma and their families.

Other future mesothelioma videos in the series may contain detailed information on how people can receive financial compensation for medical bills, pain management techniques, hospitals that specalize in mesothelioma doctors, and helpful guides on what to do after diagnosis.



If you take a look at some of the other videos on the topic that you can find at Youtube.com and other sites you will find most are created about law firms and very poorly produced. While this clip is pretty short, the organization behind it has a free offer for a DVD that should have much more extensive information. The DVD format will allow you to learn about mesothelioma at your own pace.
