LOGAN, UTAH, USA, March 4, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Intermountain Healthcare has donated $50,000 for diversity-based scholarships at Bridgerland Technical College in Logan, Utah, which will help fund scholarships for 30 to 40 students.

“As Utah becomes more diverse, we know having diverse caregivers who have understanding, knowledge and commonality with patients of many backgrounds provides comfort and good care,” said Brenda Voisard, Intermountain’s diversity, student and career development manager. “One of our goals is to make everyone feels like they belong and they’re understood.”

The scholarships are designated for students in healthcare-related fields, and may be based on several factors, including race, ethnicity, background, or gender.

“Intermountain has provided this type of scholarship funding throughout the state to enhance the diverse population of nurses available to work in hospitals throughout Utah,” said Debbie Hardy, community giving specialist for Intermountain Healthcare. “Through this contribution to Bridgerland, we can expand diversity in a broad range of trained services in addition to nursing. Through contributions like this, Intermountain hopes to help patients feel safe, comfortable, and at ease with those they interact with in a hospital setting.”

Scholarship recipients may go on to work at many health care facilities in and outside of Cache Valley. Bridgerland Tech trains and prepares students to become medical assistants, nursing assistants, practical nurses, pharmacy technicians, phlebotomists, medical administrators, medical coders, and paramedics.

Over the last two decades, nearly all students in Bridgerland Tech’s nursing program have passed their accreditation on the first attempt.

“We really appreciate this support,” said Chad Campbell, president of Bridgerland Technical College. “Because our costs are low by design, this funding will go a long way to help our students. As we are the pipeline where people get started in healthcare careers, we can see the lives that can change because of these scholarships and funding support.”

Intermountain Healthcare is a Utah-based not-for-profit system of 23 hospitals, 170 clinics, a Medical Group with some 2,300 employed physicians and advanced care practitioners, a health insurance company called SelectHealth, and other health services. Intermountain is widely recognized as a leader in transforming healthcare through evidence-based best practices, high quality, and sustainable costs.

Phaze Concrete Exposes Industry Secrets that Contractors Don’t Want Clients to Know

 

 

All industries are shrouded in secret but many of the secrets found within the contracting industry directly affect the clients.

CEDAR CITY, UTAH, UNITED STATES, March 4, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Professionals are needed for a reason. Generally, that reason is because they know something that others do not. This is a good thing, as it helps people get important, skillful things done in a timely manner. Yet, there is always the different things that industries would rather not be public. Most of the time, this is because they would lose money if the information was common knowledge.

However, there are some things that people really should know, before dealing with a contractor. Phaze Concrete knows these secrets and wants to share them, to inform their public. Here are a few industry secrets that contractors don’t want clients to know.

Corners are Often Cut

You are not the only person in a client/construction company relationship who is interested in saving money. Some construction companies cut corners and use so many smoke-in-mirrors tricks, your project will be completely different then you planned. The sad truth is there are many tricks to make the sale. Unfortunately, it does not always matter if the tactic is entirely truthful.

Knowing this, it is important to ask about the materials that the contractors are using. Do your own research and find out if what you want is what you are going to get. Maintaining a skeptical, educated position throughout the construction process is the only way to get what you want.

Public Inspectors have a List They Follow…And that’s It

People think that having a home or construction project inspected ensures the work is completely safe. While there are standards, inspectors follow a list. Once the items are checked off the list, the project passes. What this means to clients is that sometimes, important issues in workmanship are missed. It is up to the client to keep a watchful eye out for easing standards.

Construction Financial Institutions are Often Money Pits

It may seem perfectly convenient to finance a project with the company that is physically doing the work. Although, this is often setting yourself up for failure. Giving the company that much control helps the company to justify inflated prices and unrealistic quotes.

Instead, the client should find a financial institution that they trust to handle their construction loans. Keeping the work and the finances separate helps everyone be more accountable for their actions. Plus, it is always a good idea to let the professionals handle what they are best at. It is never wise to put both aspects of such a project in the same hands.

In summation, Phaze Concrete is happy to clear up these common misconceptions throughout their industry. Instead of wanting to hide these secrets, Phaze Concrete is interested in educating their clients. Therefore, they have decided to expose these vital industry secrets. After all, Phaze Concrete has nothing to fear by educating their clients. With Phaze Concrete, what you see is what you get.

Why are rates on the rise in Salt Lake City metro area?

"The Salt Lake City-area's population keeps growing, worsening traffic congestion and leading to more collisions, claims, and higher rates for everyone. Rates have also been impacted nationally by accidents caused by distracted driving (handling a phone or other device while behind the wheel), and technology updates making cars more expensive to repair after a crash.” – Alyssa Connolly, Director of Market Insights, The Zebra
