Lionheart Assurance Solutions: D-FW Businesses Seek To Minimize Liability for Identity Theft

Dallas, Texas ( PressReleasecollection ) June 1, 2009 – The Dallas/Fort Worth office of <a href=http://www.LionheartAssuranceSolutions.com>Lionheart Assurance Solutions</a>, LP is offering identity theft mitigation services for corporate clients in a variety of specialized industries including (but not limited to): healthcare, auto dealers and financial institutions. Professional certifications and training are required for assisting clients in these areas, which are possessed by Lionheart Assurance Agents in offices around the country. Businesses are increasingly finding themselves more liable for securing non-public information belonging to their customers, employees, vendors and suppliers. Many are now realizing that as they make changes in their workforce, a great deal of insider information is also at risk. One large DFW auto dealer remarked, “Wow, I am glad we did not attempt to conduct this alone. There is a lot to know.” Many business owners are beginning to realize the full impact that a data breach could have on the survivability of their business. As just one example, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act - commonly called FACTA - says that any business that maintains any non-public information about any individual (and it can be as simple as an address and phone number) is subject to potentially severe consequences in the event of a data loss. If the information is lost under the wrong set of circumstances (and the rules are unclear about what would constitute the "right" set of circumstances), the company can be fined up to $2,500 per occurrence and have a civil liability of up to $1,000 per occurrence. In addition, this law eliminated any ceiling on class-action lawsuits and made the company liable for the losses of any individual, which can quickly become a daunting exposure for most businesses. Nationally, <a href=http://www.LionheartAssuranceSolutions.com>Lionheart Assurance</a> Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialists (CITRMS) provide expert education and support in this arena. Informational luncheon seminars are available throughout the country to provide business owners with an overview of these services and their associated account management support. About Lionheart Assurance Solutions, LP Serving over 240,000 individual and corporate North American clients since 1997, <a href=http://www.LionheartAssuranceSolutions.com>Lionheart Assurance Solutions</a>, LP offers employee group legal and identity theft restoration plans designed to enhance worker productivity by helping employees keep their focus on their work instead of on personal problems. In addition, Lionheart works with small, medium and large businesses to assist them in establishing an ongoing program of compliance with federal and state identity theft laws with an emphasis on mitigating risks associated with the loss of employee or customer data. Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialists (CITRMS) work with management in the development of a comprehensive affirmative defense strategy which includes company-wide identity theft awareness training for all employees, and group identity theft protection and legal access plans that are made available as payroll deduction benefits for all employees. ###

The Economic Downturn Spells Opportunity For Lionheart Assurance Solutions

Dallas, Texas ( PressReleasecollection ) May 30, 2009 – Dallas, Texas -- May 26, 2009 -- Not all businesses are upset about the economy these days. The Dallas/Fort Worth office of <a href=http://www.LionheartAssuranceSolutions.com>Lionheart Assurance Solutions</a>, LP is recruiting and training new Agents as quickly as possible to keep up with an increased demand for their services. With identity theft at an all time high, and aggressive new federal and state regulations targeting companies that are not properly protecting private information, it seems the "perfect storm" for firms like Lionheart Assurance that assist businesses in mitigating their risk to identity theft. Pat Parker, Sr. VP of Business Development and Training for <a href=http://www.LionheartAssuranceSolutions.com>Lionheart Assurance</a> said, "In this economy, we're seeing a sharp increase in the talent pool - and the timing couldn't be better for us. This has been an opportunity for Lionheart Assurance to make some significant additions to our sales and leadership teams. The economic downturn has made our Independent Sales Agent role very attractive for those individuals who have found themselves back in the job market again." National trends appear to indicate that an increasing number of people are turning to professional sales careers after being downsized from corporate jobs. Many site the independence, time freedom and lack of income limitations associated with these careers as their reasons not to climb back on the corporate ladder. Some say they just don't want to go back to building someone else's company and take the risk of having to start over again with nothing after another layoff. Pat Parker agrees. She says, "We're finding more and more professional people who are realizing it's time to build something of their own that can't be taken away in a downsizing. Identity thieves aren't going to get any less sophisticated, and we don't see a reduction in identity theft legislation on businesses anytime soon. Those individuals that are willing to reach out into this new territory are finding the marketplace very receptive to our services. One recent addition had not dusted off their resume’ for over 21 years." About Lionheart Solutions, LP <a href=http://www.LionheartAssuranceSolutions.com>Lionheart Assurance Solutions</a>, LP is a national business services firm that assists corporate clients in mitigating risks associated with the loss of employee or customer data by helping them to establish an ongoing program of compliance with federal and state identity theft laws.

Promotional Pens In Many Attractive Shapes Introduced At Discount Favors

Pensacola, FL ( PressReleaseCirculation ) May 30, 2009 -“The custom designed <a href=http://www.discountfavors.com>promotional pens</a> are the ones which fall under the cheap but effective promotional products category. The promotional pens have been used for quite a long time and it is believed that the marketers started using the promotional products for brand promotion initially with these pens. With the changes in technology, the use of these promotional pens has changed a lot. Unlike the olden days when the marketers were successful in pleasing the customers with some simple pens with just their brand logo printed on them, today, the people out there are looking for something unique. Remember that your clients don’t want to carry pens with your logo printed on them unless they are attractive because of the fact that there are many classy pens available in the market. Hence, the promotional pens that you offer to your client must be with a unique and attractive design. Keeping the above factors in mind, we have added some finest deigns of promotional pens to our store” says Mr. Carl of Discount Favors. “When it comes to the customization of <a href=http://www.discountfavors.com/promotional-pens.html>promotional pens</a>, the common option available today is to print your company logo and a promotional message in the traditionally shaped pens. Your clients are no longer attracted to the traditionally shaped gift pens instead they need pens in attractive shapes. Though some of the promotional product manufactures out there offer pens in custom shapes, they just ignore the ergonomics of the pens. Remember that the pens that you gift your clients should suit everyone’s writing style. People should be able to comfortably write using the custom shaped pens. That is why we test these promotional pens for comfort before we make it available for sale. We have received many feedbacks from our customers stating that their clients are well satisfied with the ergonomic design of the pens that we have supplied” says Mr. Carl. Speaking on the move, Mr. Carl said, “Apart from the customizing the shape of the pens, you can even try to add utility items to these pens. This customizing option has gained lots of public attention. Let’s take the Key Chain Pens for example. People can use it both as a pen and a key chain that is useful in their daily lives. Though these pens look very costly to you clients, most of them are actually priced below a dollar and that’s just peanuts when compared to the marketing success that these pens can get.” About DiscountFavors Launched in 2002 as “Handy Advertising, LLC”, they grew into a huge business of promotional products popularly known today as Discount Favors. With the largest collection of more than 2000 cheap promotional products, discount favors have been offering some of the finest promotional pens to the marketing world.

New Self-Development Blog Aims to Help People Realize Their Full Potential

Montreal, Quebec ( PressReleaseCollection ) May 29, 2009 -Montreal-based Paths to Power <a href=http://www.pathstopower.net>Network is a new blog</a> that is devoted to self-growth and self-development. It has been developed to help with motivation, setting and achieving goals, time management, spiritual growth, forgiveness and letting go. The articles and the comprehensive setting and achieving goals program that is in the stage of development can help to deal with fear of change, fear of taking actions, lack of self-confidence and anything else that stands on the way to success. Pushing the deepest desires deep inside and staying in the comfort zone instead of going out despite the fear and making things happen can lead to a deep dissatisfaction with life, depression and nervous disorders. A more positive outlook can have dramatic effects claims Lynn Alex, owner of www.pathstopower.net, including looking forward to each new day, a deep feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment and as a consequence better physical health. “As anyone else I had my share of negative experiences and my question always was why did this happen to me?”, explains Lynn. “Years of research, reading and taking different courses on self-growth and self-improvement helped me realize that even though I couldn’t control the events, I had the full control over how I felt. The way I responded to events was my own, personal choice and hence nothing happened to me - I was the one responsible for my life. This deep realization helped me change my life and make things happen, ones that I previously considered impossible.” Lynn has an MBA degree as well as Canadian Certified Accounting Designation however she was always more interested in the potential we have, in self-growth and self-development. Interest in human potential led her to studying Jungian concepts and eventually to taking the Life-Skills Coaching course and becoming an American Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. “I was fascinated with how some people were able to achieve great things in life and realized that we all have the potential to bring our deepest desires to life” says Lynn. “With the program that I am developing and with my blog posts I want to help as many people as possible to take responsibility for their own lives; to help them overcome whatever is holding them back from realizing their full potential.” The Goal Achievement program is in the final stages of development and will be available at a big discount to current subscribers.

Auto Dealerships Find Help in Preparing for FTC Red Flags Rule Deadline And New Identity Theft Laws

Dallas, Texas ( PressReleaseCollection ) May 28, 2009 – The FTC's new "Red Flags Rule" mandates an August 1, 2009 deadline for every US auto dealership to adopt a formal program to prevent and respond to customers purchasing vehicles with stolen identities. Just this week, one dealership in Houston, Texas found itself dealing with 11 vehicles fraudulently sold to an identity thief. Ford dealerships in Denton, Sherman and Denison, Texas are already well ahead of the August deadline. Over the past 3 months, these dealerships have worked with the Dallas/Fort Worth office of <a href=http://www.LionheartAssuranceSolutions.com>Lionheart Assurance Solutions</a>, LP to prepare for the Red Flags Rule. Lionheart Assurance began by training all of their executives, creating an awareness of the new “culture of security” the FTC is expecting. Then, those executive teams began to communicate this new process to every employee in the dealership. Employees were scheduled to attend Lionheart Assurance training sessions specifically dealing with their exposure to identity theft both directly and indirectly. For example, what if a service technician works on a vehicle and the customer has inadvertently left a document in the vehicle with personal identifying information? Maybe it's just their payroll check stub, but the outcome could be costly for the dealer if not handled properly. Michael McCoy, identity theft expert and author of the book, “The Silent Crime: What You Need to Know About Identity Theft", states in his introduction, “…consumers would rather ignore risk and go on with life than fret and worry about potential identity theft. In other words, most people would rather exhibit ‘blissful ignorance’ regarding identity theft loss than proceed with the confusing, complex, time consuming, and expensive process of securing and protecting their identity”. Most of us simply are not aware of our exposure to identity theft and the trail of personal identifying information we leave unsecured. <a href=http://www.LionheartAssuranceSolutions.com>Lionheart Assurance Solutions</a>, LP reports that after completion of the training, employees find they change procedures in their offices and more fully verify customer's identities. Some auto dealers are now recording finger prints on the closing sales documents. A confidentiality document is signed by every employee indicating their understanding and completion of the training provided by Lionheart Assurance. In addition, a comprehensive identity theft product is made available as a voluntary employee benefit. Employees are given tips to protect their identities at home, such as how to protect their mail, credit cards, social security numbers and driver's license numbers from identity thieves. Lionheart Assurance provides periodic updates of the employee policy and trains new employees as they are hired. Pat Parker, Sr. VP of Business Development and Training for Lionheart Assurance said, "Our role is to not only assist auto dealers in understanding how to improve security, but also to help in mitigating their liability associated with data breaches. It's significant because if dealers don't put a plan in place by the August 1 deadline, the FTC can fine them as much as $2,500 for selling a vehicle to a buyer with a stolen identity." Unfortunately, the consequences for auto dealers don't stop there. Each subsequent violation can carry a fine of up to $11,000. In servicing auto dealers, Lionheart Assurance calls on specially trained Agents, certified to assist in the identity theft mitigation process. As August fast approaches, buyers beware - you may find auto dealerships will ask more questions to confirm your identity and ask for other forms of identification, much like the retail industry has begun to put in place. An increasing number of dealerships now display notices that they have taken proactive steps to protect non-public information for both customers and employees. About Lionheart Assurance Solutions, LP With offices around the country, <a href=http://www.LionheartAssuranceSolutions.com>Lionheart Assurance Solutions</a>, LP is a unique business services firm specializing in employee group legal and identity theft protection benefits for businesses of all sizes. Serving over 210,000 corporate and individual North American clients since 1997, Lionheart Assurance Solutions, LP assists clients in mitigating risks associated with the loss of employee or customer data by helping them to establish an ongoing program of compliance with federal identity theft laws.

Long valued for its charming lifestyle, living in this particular region of the French Mediterranean is a dream come true for the most discerning buyers of properties to buy in south of France. Imagine living in a redesigned Domaine that has produced wine since 1886 with its own vineyard, chefs, concierge services, chauffeurs, pool, gardens and many other guest services, while taking advantage of the location close to the charming village of Capestang. Villas and Apartments in French Chateau for Sale <a href=http://www.ilre.com/chateau-les-carrasses.html>Chateau Les Carrasses</a> was originally created by famed architect Louis Garros in 1886. The walls of the castle are embedded with French history and, listening closely enough, it might still be possible to hear the murmur of bygone days. Enjoying a total make-over by renowned architect François Thoulouze, Chateau Les Carrasses will be home to 28 contemporary homes, offering a choice of 1-bedroom to 4-bedroom villas, townhouses or apartments – all properties will be uniquely designed and fashioned from existing buildings on the castle's grounds. Own a Slice of Mediterranean Character Properties Rich with History None of the 28 properties are alike, meaning, owners will be able to own a unique slice of French history, crafted from existing splendour such as exposed beams, stone facades, high ceilings and spectacular views across the Canal Du Midi and the mountains. The end results will feature homes of luxurious style and refinement. State-of-the-art fixtures and fittings, en-suite bathrooms, generously proportioned bedrooms and high-spec kitchens are the bare necessities of this development to assure buyers will be able to enjoy living to the highest standards – a true art de vivre. Relaxez-Vous in Your Own Chateau Domain Each home will be fully furnished. A full property management service and facilities are provided, including a rental scheme to allow buyers to concentrate on the things that really matter in life, such as enjoying the lifestyle that comes with owning a property at Chateau Les Carrasses. There are no restrictions on the usage of the property either, giving the owner full control. Another great advantage is the fact that it is possible to sell the property at any stage without restrictions. Why a House in Languedoc Roussillon There are plenty of reasons why considering buying a house in Languedoc Roussillon makes sense. If rolling hills of Cypress, ancient forests, great vineyards, spectacular views across the Pyrenees and Canal Du Midi are not reasons enough, then perhaps the idea of relaxing by the pool with a glass of wine from your own vineyard is. Each household of these French luxury vineyard villas will be able to enjoy a share of the castle's own annual yield of delectable wines with approximately 40-50 cases. Facilities to store the wines with utmost care will also be provided due to the private wine cellaring offered to each property investor at Chateau Les Carrasses. The Chateau Les Carrasses is Ideally Positioned for Ease of Access A total of eight close-by international airports will connect residents with the rest of the world for hassle-free travel. The well known hubs of Béziers and Narbonne are a short 20 minute drive by car and on the weekends the authentic markets in nearby towns and villages, can be explored. If swimming in the Mediterranean sea sound more attractive, the fabulous beaches of the region are only a short drive away. After a hard days work at the beach, dine at some of the best restaurants in the region, sampling Michelin star morsels of food. To round off the perfect day in the sun while not take a stroll through some of the languid villages and towns of Languedoc before settling for the night with a glass of wine. How to Finance Your Chateau Les Carrasses Dream Due to the affordability of these properties – they are approximately 25% cheaper than comparable properties – they make for a great investment. The location, the uniqueness of these properties, the absence of restrictions and the affordability are all reasons enough to consider an ownership in Chateau Les Carrasses. A great range of mortgages are available for this development and well qualified candidates should have no issues in obtaining finance. The developers expect solid rental yields which make this investment attractive for discerning buyers. Price from €220,500 (approx. GBP196,113, US$298,468) About International Luxury Real Estate <a href=http://www.ilre.com>International Luxury Real Estate</a>, a leader in the sale of overseas luxury real estate through its one-stop website www.ilre.com, enjoys a solid reputation around the world as a cutting-edge boutique real estate company.

Estate Millwork’s wood shutters stay green in hard times

Pittsburgh, Pa ( PressReleaseCollection ) May 25, 2009 – Despite troubled economic conditions, homeowners are opening their wood shutters to welcome in the fresh spring air. Estate Millwork, a shutter factory just outside of Pittsburgh, insists on an eco-conscious shutter-building workshop to save energy during the economic meltdown. All of Estate Millwork’s exterior shutters are made from genuine hardwoods that come exclusively from timber suppliers who insist on renewable forestry. Because Estate Millwork mills all of the wood in-house to order, the company keeps waste and costs in check -- while keeping options for custom shutters wide open. Estate Millwork’s master craftsmen have experience in creating detailed replications of unique window shutters from a wide span of historical periods. Estate Millwork’s website also hosts a tool that allows users to design <a href=http://www.estatemillwork.com>custom shutters</a>. This interactive shutter design tool provides customers with pricing estimates for made-to-order wood shutters at the click of a mouse. This design tool suits the company's green ethos perfectly - it reduces guesswork and paper waste. For Estate Millwork, going green is the only way to provide homeowners with quality exterior shutters. In a downturn, as many homeowners watch the values of their mortgages plummet, exterior shutters can be a sound and green home-improvement investment. But inventive ways of saving money existed long before this century. Early American pioneers prepared their log cabin homes for hard times by sealing the cracks between timbers with mud and battening their windows with wooden shutters. Their wisdom helped them preserve precious heating fuels in the winter -- and that wisdom is just as applicable today. Estate Millwork’s craftsmen use time-honored, labor-intensive techniques to shape hand-selected, top-grade wood into custom shutters. The result is high-quality <a href=http://www.estatemillwork.com>exterior shutters</a> with no gaps or cracks to allow summer's heat or winter's blustery cold into the home. During the Great Depression, many people might have thrown their worthless stock certificates out of their gilded window shutters -- but today's homeowners are much less cavalier about their energy bills. Made-to-order exterior shutters guarantee homeowners a wide selection of custom, precision-crafted energy control devices. On a nice, spring day, homeowners can open their wood shutters to let cool bursts of fresh air enter their homes. If it's raining, exterior shutters with adjustable louvers allow homeowners to leave their windows open while still enjoying a refreshing breeze. On a sunny July afternoon, panel shutters can keep the outside glare at bay, ensuring a cool, relaxing indoors. Even in winter, a few pairs of precision-fitted exterior shutters provide energy savings by keeping hot air in and cold air out. Homeowners are not the only ones keeping a watchful eye on the environment in these troubled times. At Estate Millwork’s corporate headquarters, located near one of the greenest cities in the country -- Pittsburgh, Pa. -- company principal Jim Jackson says workers will expand efforts to create window shutters in an environmentally friendly fashion. The plant has been able to cut significant costs through recycling initiatives and energy conservation, and serves as a model for other businesses in this recession. Estate Millwork designs and sells custom <a href=http://www.estatemillwork.com>wood shutters</a>, custom doors, and cabinetry at estatemillwork.com.

Pensacola, FL ( PressReleaseCollection ) May 22, 2009 -“When there is an idea for brand promotion through promotional products, our first though will go to the trendy key chains. The use of the key chains for brand promotion has been around us for more than a decade. Though the concept of printing the promotional message and the brand logo on the key chains is not changed a lot, the designs and shapes of the key chains have changed a lot. Unlike the olden days when the <a href=http://www.discountfavors.com/key-chains-tags.html>key chains</a> used to come in common rectangular or circular shapes, today, these promotional key chains are available in many different shapes.

For example, if you are operating a health care unit, you can go for the Ambulance Shaped Key chains. This will be definite hit among the public. The stress ball key chains are very popular today because they can be easily changed to the desired shape.” “Adding some utilities to the custom <a href=http://www.discountkeychains.com>key chains</a> will be good to make a great impact of satisfaction. The utility tools such as the bottle openers or the LED lights added to the key chains will be useful for your clients.

Pensacola, FL ( PressReleaseCollection ) May 21, 2009 -“Creating custom promotional products is a not a big deal today.

Pensacola, FL ( PressReleaseCollection ) May 19, 2009 -“When it comes to cheap gifting items, the koozies are very popular both in corporate and general public levels. The reason behind the huge popularity of the koozies is the benefits associated with them. The koozies act as excellent insulators of the beer cans, other beverage cans and bottles.

New Catchy Designs Of Door Hangers Introduced By Discountfavors.Com

Pensacola, FL ( PressReleaseCollection ) May 18, 2009 -“Unlike earlier days when the customization of the door hangers were limited to different colors and text, today, these unique promotional products have unlimited customization options. Anything from the shape to concept of the door hangers can be customized. Customizing the concept may seem odd to you. I will explain it to you soon. The customization of the <a href=http://www.discountfavors.com/custom-door-hangers.html>door hangers</a> is not widely available in the market. Even if they exist, they will be highly priced. Only a few promotional product suppliers like ourselves are providing the custom door hangers at cheap prices”, according says Mr. Carl of Discount Favors. Speaking about the concept of promotion through door hangers, Mr. Carl said, “The main reason for the failure of the door hanger marketing campaigns today is because of the fact that the marketers are not well aware of this marketing concept. First of all you should understand that this promotional product focuses on an entire group of people or a family rather than being used by an individual. Hence, the message printed on the door hangers must be ideal for the group of people. If individual focused messages are printed on these door hangers, they will not be used by anyone and will eventually end up in a trash bin. Moreover, the door hangers should not be all about your brand advertisement. Think of the fact that people don’t really want to decorate their doors with your brand advertisement. This is where the tear off door hangers comes in handy. In this type of door hangers, the advertisement part can be torn and separated from the actual door hanger. Now I’ll explain the customization of this concept. The advertisement part of the tear off type custom <a href=http://www.discountfavors.com/custom-door-hangers.html>door hangers</a> can be further customized. One of the very effective customization options is to place the discount coupons in the tear off part. This will increase your sales to a great extent. You can have up to four tear off discount coupons in a single door hanger.” Speaking on the move, Mr. Carl said, “Lowest price and atmost quality is the promise that we make and we are living up to it. You can compare the prices of the door hangers and we are sure that our pricing is the cheapest. When it comes to the quality and the unique design of these door hangers available with us, they are simply incomparable. You cannot find such unique designs anywhere else in the market.” About Discountfavors.Com Launched in 2002 as “Handy Advertising, LLC”, they grew into a huge business of promotional products popularly known today as Discount Favors. With the largest collection of more than 2000 cheap promotional products, discount favors have been offering some of the finest door hangers to the marketing world.

Sales acties inzetten voor het verbeteren van omzetresultaten!

Weesp, The Netherlands ( PressreleaseCollection ) May 13, 2009 – “ <a href=http://www.loyalty-plan.nl>Sales acties</a> en loyaliteitsprogramma’s verhogen omzetresultaten!” Kortlopende acties worden steeds vaker ingezet om omzetresultaten te verbeteren. De afgelopen maanden is de vraag naar kortlopende acties, met name Business to Business acties, enorm verhoogd. Het bedrijfsleven probeert door verkoop stimulerende acties ervoor te zorgen dat de doelstellingen alsnog gerealiseerd worden. Dit kwam naar voren na een door Loyalty-Plan gehouden onderzoek onder honderd bedrijven die met name richting de tussenhandel actief zijn’, aldus Kok. Naast acties, zoals kortingsacties die inspelen op de crisis, worden er vaak programma’s ingezet waarbij de klant beloond wordt als zij de orders onderbrengt bij de leverancier. Dergelijke beloningen kunnen verschillend zijn. Van het verstrekken van cadeaus voor het bedrijf kan het ook zo zijn dat de klant geholpen wordt met acties en communicatie richting de eindgebruiker, eigenlijk de klant van de klant. Inkopers zijn tegenwoordig minder loyaal en hebben veelal de keuze uit meerdere aanbieders. Als er bijvoorbeeld een minimaal verschil is tussen de aanbieders helpt het als er een <a href=http://www.loyalty-plan.nl>loyaliteitsprogramma</a> ingezet wordt. Dergelijke kortlopende acties krijgen vaak de benaming incentive programma en/of sales actie. De tendens is dat het merendeel overweegt een kort- of langlopend programma in te zetten. De meeste bedrijven zijn er mee bezig en de traditionele bedrijven die minder marketing gedreven zijn hebben een hogere interesse maar willen nog niet daadwerkelijk de stap zetten. Waar vóór de crisis het accent met name op het benaderen van nieuwe klanten lag, valt het op dat er weer meer aandacht uitgaat naar de bestaande klantenkring. Het behouden en uitbouwen van bestaande klanten komt hierbij als belangrijkste naar voren. <a href=http://www.loyalty-plan.nl>Loyalty-Plan</a> merkt verder op - mede ondersteund door haar onderzoek - dat kortlopende acties structureler ingezet worden en vaker omgezet worden in interessante en permanente programma’s als tool om omzetverhoging en afzetsturing te bewerkstelligen.!

The History of Medical Scrubs – Explained by Totalscrubs

Lehi, UT ( PressRerleaseCollection ) May 12, 2009 – “The usage of medical scrubs has its roots back in 1918. With the outbreak of the Spanish flu, it became indispensable to maintain maximum cleanliness in all the hospitals. Hence the nurses and other staffs of the hospitals started to wear cotton masks during the surgery and other critical processes. The usage of the cotton masks was the start of the medical scrub concept. Soon the medical practitioners started wearing rubber gloves during the surgeries. This practice was widely accepted back in 1918 itself. As many years passed, lots of other medical attire came into use and today the medical attire are collectively known as medical scrubs”, says Peter Brooks of <a href=http://www.totalscrubs.com>Totalscrubs.com</a>. He added that, “By the early 50s, the use of medical scrubs was wide spread. All the medical scrubs used during that period came in a single style, all in white color. The white color of the medical scrubs represented the cleanliness. Later due to several consequences such as eye fatigue and high contrast blood splashes, white colored medical scrubs were avoided. Instead, they started using medical scrubs which were green in color. These green colored medical scrubs received a great welcome in the medical sector. Even today such medical scrubs are widely used. The medical scrubs used in the hospitals and healthcare units today come in all- sizes and colors. Moreover, you can get custom designs and motivational messages printed on these medical scrubs.” Speaking on the move, Peter Brooks said, “ <a href=http://www.totalscrubs.com>Medical scrubs</a> have taken many forms and today they are available in different styles and colors. There are many renowned companies such as landau scrubs, cherokee scrubs and dickies uniforms who are manufacturing highly durable medical scrubs and nursing uniforms today.

According to today’s trend, the medical scrubs used in most of the childcare units will have cartoon characters printed on them. There are some healthcare facilities where some motivational messages will be printed on the medical scrubs.” “The medical scrubs used today have changed a lot.
