KANSAS CITY, Mo. — At the national headquarters of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S., the Vietnam War veteran who founded Sport Clips Haircuts handed over a check for $1.35 million to the VFW Foundation today in order to support Help A Hero Scholarships for active-duty U.S. service members and veterans. Sport Clips began fundraising in October with the goal to exceed the $1.25 million raised last year for the program. By Veterans Day, November 11, Sport Clips, along with its clients, team members and product partners, raised the money for the largest donation in its 11-year history of supporting those who’ve served through the Help A Hero initiative.

In attendance was first-time scholarship recipient Army Specialist Ian Tucker, who is currently enrolled at Missouri State University studying criminal justice and legal studies. Tucker’s goal is to earn his law degree, work for the Department of Justice and eventually make his way into the political arena.

“To see the impact of 1,300 Help A Hero scholarships at work in the lives of individuals who are pursuing post-military careers is powerful and one of the best ways we can say, ‘Thank you for your service,'” says Sport Clips Haircuts Founder and CEO, Gordon Logan, a U.S. Air Force veteran and Life Member of the VFW. “We’ve been doing this as a team with the VFW for over a decade and have put $5.5 million into these scholarships that have supported men and women in their education and training goals for so many sound professions…everything from doctors to truck drivers to chefs, counselors and lawyers. We’re grateful to be a part of an effort that’s making a positive difference for them, their families and the communities in which they live and work.”

“Issues surrounding the GI Bill educational benefits have plagued student veterans this year and our Help A Hero Scholarship provides the peace of mind student veterans and their families need,” said VFW National Commander B.J. Lawrence. “With the help of Sport Clips, their supporters and all their team members around the county, we’re helping take care of tuition fees so our veterans don’t have to take on additional student loan debt. They’ve sacrificed enough, and they deserve every road to a successful career that we can help pave.”

Clients, individual supporters and Sport Clips team members donated the largest portion of the money raised, while Sport Clips partners Sally Beauty Supply/Direct Beauty Express, John Paul Mitchell Systems, American Crew, Nioxin, Sexy Hair and Gibs Grooming also made generous donations to the Help A Hero program. More than $100,000 of the money was raised from Sport Clips $1 per haircare service donation made on Veterans Day.

The Help A Hero program started when Sport Clips first worked with the VFW to provide phone calls home for deployed and hospitalized service members and veterans in 2007. When the drawdown in troops began a few years later, the partnership transitioned in 2013 to become the VFW’s “Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship” program. To date, nearly 1,300 student veterans have received scholarship grants of up to $5,000 to enable them to continue in their higher education programs.

Sport Clips is the Official Haircutter of the VFW, and its Help A Hero campaign is just one of the many ways it supports active-duty military and veterans.

ComForCare Rolls Out Private-Duty Nursing Across Franchise System Elevating Level of Home Care to Wider Client Population

– Program debuts to enthusiastic response at ComForCare’s Annual Franchise Conference in Dallas
– Goal is to have private-duty nursing adopted systemwide in 3-5 years

DETROIT — ComForCare Health Care Holdings, LLC, a premier provider of home care, is rolling out private-duty nursing across the franchise system. The announcement was made at the company’s annual franchise conference, held recently in Dallas. The move is part of ComForCare’s strategic plan to add programs across the health care continuum to serve older adults in a more holistic way and is the latest in a series of developments that will allow for a more continual transition of care without disrupting the client’s lifestyle at home.

Currently thirteen percent of ComForCare’s offices offer private-duty nursing, and those services are being met with rapidly increasing demand in those markets and across the system. Now, with a formal program in place, ComForCare’s goal over the next three to five years is to have every office obtain the infrastructure and accreditation to offer home care and private-duty nursing to its clients.

“Private-duty nursing is the future of our business. We are aligning home care with the processes and standards of certified home health agencies to elevate the level of care we can provide our clients and broaden the reach and impact of much-needed services,” said Steve Greenbaum, CEO of ComForCare and At Your Side Home Care. “Our goal remains to provide our clients with high quality care and to help them live their best life possible. This is one of those bold initiatives that will not only improve that experience and those services, but will also allow our franchise locations to serve a wider client population across U.S. and Canada in the months and years ahead.”

Over the past year, ComForCare’s headquarters has aggressively staffed and invested in the tools to support this program. Emily Wiechmann, RN, BSN and clinical program manager for ComForCare, joined the organization in May to overhaul the private-duty nursing program in-place and make it scalable for the entire franchise system. The expectation with this program is that existing franchise locations will advance their services to include this while future franchise prospects will adopt this expanded business model from day one.

“Private-duty nursing requires highly complex, hourly care for patients with very acute needs to ensure they are safe in their own home,” said Wiechmann. “The goal is for every office to be able to accept clients across the entire age spectrum and have the skills to take on cases that require a higher level of care due to physical restrictions, illnesses or chronic medical conditions.”

About ComForCare

ComForCare is a premier provider of home care services with nearly 200 independently owned and operated locations in the U.S. and Canada helping older adults live independently in their own homes. ComForCare is committed to helping people live their best life possible and offers special programs for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Founded in 1996, ComForCare was acquired by private equity firm The Riverside Company in 2017 and now is part of a multi-brand franchise parent company, which has plans for continued expansion of service brands across the continuum of care for aging adults. ComForCare operates as At Your Side Home Care in Houston. For more information, visit www.comforcare.com.

Local entrepreneur and veteran brings national recruiting firm, unique methodology to area

SONOMA COUNTY, Calif. — NEXTAFF, an industry leader in identifying quality talent for businesses, opened today its first location in Sonoma County, California.

Owned and operated by local entrepreneur, military veteran and former police officer James (Jim) Bohn and his wife, Marjorie, the office will operate in Sonoma County and will offer staffing solutions to businesses in all industries. Bohn earned his Master of Business Administration from Walden University in 2014.

“Sonoma County is the perfect place for a NEXTAFF location,” Bohn said. “There’s a huge need for a staffing solution here, and NEXTAFF offers an innovative approach to filling that void. Our X-FACTOR™ method offers a unique way to help businesses identify, evaluate and acquire quality talent. It’s one of the main reasons I joined the company, and it’s going to be fun to shake up the status quo of hiring practices in Sonoma County.”

Bohn has 15 years of experience in retail, business sales and management in the telecommunications industry. While this is his first venture into the staffing industry, he believes his background has prepared him for this new endeavor.

“Throughout my career, I’ve always enjoyed helping customers find the best solutions for the challenges their business is facing,” Bohn said. “I’ve often had to think outside of the box because one size does not fit all when it comes to business needs. At NEXTAFF, that same mentality holds true. Our staffing solutions are unique and specific to each business’s needs. That’s something you can’t find anywhere else.”

NEXTAFF offers a proprietary recruiting method called X-FACTOR™, which combines hiring methodologies that are statistically proven to outperform what typical staffing competitors and HR departments traditionally do.

“Jim is incredibly enthusiastic about helping others,” said Cary Daniel, co-founder and director at NEXTAFF. “He has a drive and determination that pushes him to meet each challenge head-on, and he doesn’t stop until he’s found a workable solution to a problem. His devotion to helping others succeed, combined with our X-FACTOR™ method, is going to make amazing things happen for the Sonoma County workforce.”

Massage Heights Westlake Village, located at 2900 Townsgate Road, Suite 210, has served the local community since 2008. On July 1, 2017, local entrepreneurs Kelly Hoyman and Becky Leehey assumed ownership.

“Since celebrating our grand re-opening last year, our guests have been requesting the launch of facial services in addition to our existing therapeutic massage services,” Leehey said. “After experiencing a successful year, we are thrilled to now offer this service, allowing our guests to elevate their lives through an important aspect of wellness — skin care.”

The business owners will host invite-only events to showcase the new services and educate members and guests about the different types of facials and elevations offered. Community members interested in attending can reach out to Leehey at becky.leehey@massageheights.com.

Massage Heights in Westlake Village is open Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. – 9 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. – 7 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
