In honor of National Minority Health Month, Mesmerize is raising awareness as to what you, your family, and your community can do to get active and stay healthy.

Physical activity is one of the best things people can do to improve their health. However, only 1 in 4 adults fully meet physical activity guidelines for aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities. These numbers are even lower among adults in some racial and ethnic minority populations.

Physical activity promotes health and reduces the risk of chronic diseases and other conditions that are often more common and more severe among racial and ethnic minority groups. According to the CDC, adults should get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week. You can get the recommended amount of exercise in many different ways, including a 22-minute walk each day or a 30-minute walk five days a week. Every little bit counts.

Mesmerize has solutions for your doctor’s office or pharmacy to message patients about important topics in your community. Contact us for more information.

Did you know that April is STI Awareness Month?

Many STIs have no symptoms, which makes it difficult to know you're infected unless you get tested — that's where STI awareness month comes in. This month provides us all with an opportunity to raise awareness about STI/STDs, reduce STI/STD-related stigma, and ensure that people have the tools and knowledge to prevent, test for, and treat STI/STDs.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are 20 million new STI cases in the U.S. every year. If you are sexually active, it is recommended that you educate yourself, practice safe behaviors, get tested every 3 to 6 months. Remember your sexual health is a part of living a healthy lifestyle. You can find testing locations by contacting your local health department.

Mesmerize offers patient education materials to point of care locations and pharmacies. Contact us to learn more.

According to a study conducted by Insider Intelligence, “the number of users who scanned a QR code increased by a whopping 25% from 2019 to 2020.” In 2022, approximately 83.4 million smartphone users are estimated to scan a QR code, representing nearly 37.5% of smartphone users in the U.S.

After concerns about COVID-19 transmission arose during the outbreak of the pandemic, the transition to touch-free technology, including QR codes, became a necessity. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed smartphone users to embrace QR code technology as a method of enabling contactless and hygienic interactions. In the point-of-care industry, the rise of the QR code has allowed patients to more easily access and connect to healthcare information. Rather than asking patients to follow manual steps or interrupting clinicians’ work, QR codes immediately connect patients and their families with vital information about their health or helpful features for their stay.

QR codes can be added to any materials or displays in your facility, including marketing materials, wallboards, and digital screens. Learn more about how to feature QR codes on your branded materials: https://www.mesmerize.com/contact

For April’s #GivingTuesday, Mesmerize is thrilled to make a donation to two wonderful organizations: Caring for a Cure and Tikva Odessa Children’s Home. Our team is proud to sponsor nonprofit organizations and the communities they serve by providing sustainable, unrestricted funds that support an array of causes.

Caring for a Cure was founded in 2011 by the nurses of the Adult Hematology/Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant program at Massachusetts General Hospital. The organization began on one of the oncology floors at Massachusetts General Hospital, but has since grown enough support to not only expand to all Oncology floors at the hospital, but also to cancer centers on all Harvard Medical School campus locations. The organization's goal is to ease the journey and uplift the spirits of patients and their families through support, connections and research. To learn more, volunteer, or donate: https://www.massgeneral.org/cancer-center/everyday-amazing/caring-for-a-cure. Our second cause,

Tikva Odessa Children’s Home, is a rescue aid and educational organization saving the lives of at-risk children and relieving the suffering of impoverished Jewish families in Odessa, Ukraine. Currently, Tikva is working to evacuate 1,000+ orphans, students, and staff from Odessa as part of emergency efforts during the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Costs of essential items, such as generators, bedding, and medical supplies, are rising at alarming rates due to wartime economic limitations. In addition to supporting evacuation efforts, Tikva also continues to provide food packages, medication, and necessities to the elderly communities that have remained in Odessa.
