How an innovative dual-strategy approach using community health fair events & in-home visits improves access to preventive care delivery.

NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — West Virginia has long faced some of the highest rates of diabetes in the country, with nearly one in every six adults living with the disease, a rate that is almost double the national average. Many of those diabetics often experience preventable vision loss among other downstream health complications simply due to the lack of convenient access to routine screenings. Missing these critical preventive screenings can negatively impact livelihood, well-being, and overall independence for those same individuals.

For years, we’ve seen the same pattern unfold nationwide where people want to take a proactive approach to their health, but common access to care barriers make it difficult or nearly impossible to do so. Transportation challenges, limited appointment availability, time away from work, long drives to clinics, and the cost of care all disproportionately affect many individuals in historically underserved communities.

In West Virginia, where more than 500,000 people are enrolled in Medicaid and over 30% live in rural areas, these same barriers are especially pronounced.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Wellpoint West Virginia to bring diabetic eye exams and A1C blood test kits directly to their Medicaid members, either in a home-based setting or at trusted community health fair events statewide. We share the common mission of supporting long-term health outcomes while ensuring these Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) factors no longer stand in the way of life-saving preventive care.

Through this collaboration, Retina Labs deploys a team of retinal imaging specialists using mobile technology to deliver both diabetic eye exams and A1C blood test kits outside of traditional health care settings, including in-home member visits and community health fair events.

This approach isn’t just convenient, it’s transformative.

Diabetic retinopathy, which is the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults, often remains asymptomatic until the disease is at an advanced stage. Regular diabetic eye exams can detect issues early and when treatment is most effective. The same is true for A1C testing, which determines how well blood sugar is managed relative to the increased risks of developing kidney and/or heart disease. When these screenings are made accessible and convenient, individuals are far more likely to complete them while avoiding health outcomes that can negatively affect their independence and quality of life.

West Virginia leaders recognize the importance of addressing these challenges head-on. The state’s recent application for Rural Health Transformation funding and the governor’s commitment to expanding access to care signals a strong statewide effort to meet people where they are. Our work with Wellpoint West Virginia aligns closely with that vision by making sure preventive care is delivered in a way that works for real people with real lives.

This is the power of comprehensive collaboration. When health plans and community partners work together, we can alleviate undue burdens and provide our members with the opportunity to receive care that leads to positive long-term health outcomes. The state’s dedication to breaking down common access to care barriers highlights the work we are already doing through our partnership with Wellpoint West Virginia.

If we want to build a healthier and stronger West Virginia, we must continue to support organizations that meet people where they are. Nobody should suffer preventable vision loss among other health complications simply because they are unable to make an appointment. Preventive care should be within reach for every West Virginian, no matter where they live.

New financing to facilitate growth of Premier’s national staffing services platform

CHARLOTTE, NC, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — B&D Capital Partners announced today the successful placement of up to $50 million in senior debt financing led by Fifth Third Bank on behalf of Premier Electrical Staffing, LLC (“Premier” or the “Company”). The initial closing occurred on November 26, 2025, with the full commitment providing Premier significant flexibility and capacity to support its long-term strategic growth initiatives.

The financing positions Premier to accelerate its next phase of expansion, including organic growth and a targeted acquisition strategy focused on building a scaled national platform in skilled trades staffing. The facility provides the Company with durable capital and flexible debt service designed to support continued investment in operations, leadership, technology, and strategic opportunities.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Premier Electrical Staffing is a leading skilled trades staffing provider serving electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and other specialty contractors across the United States. The Company supports critical infrastructure projects including hospitals, commercial and industrial developments, and data centers, delivering a reliable labor force in an increasingly constrained labor environment.

B&D Capital has been a true partner in helping us position the business for its next stage of growth.”

B&D Capital Partners served as financial advisor to Premier, leading the structuring, negotiation, and placement of the financing. In addition to executing the transaction, B&D Capital is expected to continue supporting Premier as a long-term strategic and capital markets partner, including advising on future acquisitions and growth initiatives.

“This transaction reflects our shared view of Premier as a scalable platform with significant runway,” said Tom Donaldson, Managing Partner at Blystone & Donaldson. “Our role extended beyond arranging capital. We worked closely with management to ensure the financing supports Premier’s broader strategic objectives and positions the Company to pursue disciplined, value-accretive growth over time.”

PITTSBURGH, PA, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Kevin Y. of Hutto, TX is the creator of the Multiway-Cargo-Net, a fully adjustable cargo net that can be used to secure and stabilize boxes and other cargo regardless of their shape or size. This product helps improve the secure transport of boxes and cargo with varying shapes and dimensions in pickup trucks, vans, SUVs, and similar vehicles. The system is designed to provide load stabilization where conventional ropes, bungee cords, or fixed-dimension cargo nets are insufficient for simultaneously securing mixed or irregular items.

Transporting cargo of different sizes presents ongoing challenges for both professional and recreational users. Larger boxes often require tensioning methods that cannot be effectively applied to smaller or irregularly shaped items, resulting in unsecured movement during transit. Load shifting can lead to cargo damage, reduce vehicle stability, and increase risk during loading and unloading.

Multiway-Cargo-Net addresses these challenges through a fully adjustable grid-based net architecture. The system is constructed from 0.375-inch double-braided rope and incorporates a matrix of repositionable knots that allow users to manually resize individual net squares. This adjustability enables the net to conform closely around boxes, containers, and irregular cargo, reducing movement and improving load stability during transport.

The cargo net incorporates six horizontal and six vertical rope sections connected via overhand knots, allowing each internal square to be repositioned laterally as needed. While the internal grid remains fully adjustable, the outer perimeter is fixed to maintain consistent attachment geometry. The perimeter includes four designated loops that allow the net to be secured to anchor points in a vehicle bed or cargo area. For improved visibility, the rope is primarily red with integrated blue and yellow coloring to enhance visual awareness during both daylight and low-light conditions.

Key features and benefits include:

• Fully Adjustable Grid System: Repositionable knot structure allows individual net squares to be resized to fit cargo of varying shapes and dimensions.
• Mixed-Load Compatibility: Enables simultaneous securing of large, small, and irregularly shaped items using a single cargo restraint system.
• Durable Rope Construction: Constructed from 0.375-inch double-braided rope designed for strength, durability, and repeated use.
• Fixed Perimeter with Secure Attachment Points: Outer perimeter remains fixed and includes four loops for consistent and stable vehicle attachment.

Multiway-Cargo-Net provides a configurable cargo restraint solution designed to accommodate the realities of transporting mixed and irregular loads. It combines structural durability with manual adjustability to ultimately offer a practical approach to improving cargo security across a wide range of vehicle types and transport scenarios.

Kevin filed his Utility Patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and is working closely with InventionHome, a leading invention licensing firm, to sell or license the patent rights to his Multiway-Cargo-Net product. Ideal licensing candidates would be U.S. based product manufacturers or distributors looking to further develop and distribute this product innovation.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Central Sulawesi, Indonesia and Toronto, Canada. Nusa Nickel Corp. is pleased to provide a year-end update highlighting key achievements in 2025 and outlining strategic priorities for 2026 as the Company continues to build a vertically integrated nickel business in Indonesia.

2025 Year-End Highlights

-Successfully advanced into production during 2025 and became revenue generating from nickel operations in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia

-Established a licensed nickel trading subsidiary approved by the Government of Indonesia, enabling the trading of third-party nickel material and intermediate nickel products

-Expanded commercial optionality across the nickel value chain, including exposure to intermediates such as Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP), Nickel Pig Iron (NPI), Nickel Matte, and Ferronickel

-Entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding related to the potential supply of limonite material into an Indonesian MHP processing facility, subject to customary conditions

-Continued to advance corporate development initiatives in preparation for a planned TSX Venture Exchange listing, subject to regulatory approval and market conditions

-Positioned the Company to pursue operational expansion and increased production and trading activity in 2026

Operational Milestones and Production Advancement

The year 2025 marked a major operational inflection point for Nusa Nickel. The Company successfully advanced into production and became revenue generating, validating its operating strategy and positioning Nusa Nickel as the only revenue-producing nickel junior company in North America operating in Indonesia. This milestone reflects management’s execution of extensive groundwork in project development, permitting, and operational readiness.

Trading Platform and Value Chain Expansion

In addition to achieving production status, Nusa Nickel established a dedicated trading subsidiary that was recently approved by the Government of Indonesia through its Sales and Transport License (IPP Nickel Trading License). This subsidiary opens multiple new revenue streams for the Company and supports its long-term strategy of vertical integration by enhancing flexibility, market access, and optionality across the nickel supply chain while complementing its primary production operations.

Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP) and Intermediate Products Strategy

During 2025, Nusa Nickel also advanced its strategy to participate in higher-value intermediate nickel products. The Company entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding related to the potential supply of limonite material into an Indonesian Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP) processing facility, subject to customary conditions and further definitive agreements.

MHP is an established intermediate product within global nickel supply chains and can be further refined into higher-purity nickel products used in battery, industrial, and advanced manufacturing applications. While no assurance can be given that this MHP pathway will be completed on commercial terms, management views the development of mine-to-intermediate optionality as a strategic component of the Company’s longer-term growth strategy.

Corporate Development and Public Market Readiness

Throughout 2025, the Company continued to advance its corporate development initiatives, including entering into a definitive agreement with Genesis Acquisition Corp., a TSX Venture Exchange Capital Pool Company, in connection with a proposed Qualifying Transaction that, if completed, would result in Nusa Nickel becoming the resulting issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange, subject to exchange acceptance and other customary closing conditions.

This step provides additional structure and visibility to the Company’s public market pathway and supports the alignment of technical, audit, and financing activities as Nusa Nickel prepares for potential public market participation.

2026 Outlook and Growth Strategy

Looking ahead to 2026, Nusa Nickel is focused on expansion and scale. The Company is actively evaluating additional nickel project opportunities that could further grow its asset base and production profile. Management is also working toward a planned listing on the TSX Venture Exchange, subject to regulatory approval and market conditions, with the objective of providing greater liquidity, visibility, and access to a broader investor base.

Operationally, Nusa Nickel plans to scale both its production and trading activities in 2026. This includes increasing output from existing operations, expanding trading volumes of third-party material, and further integrating production with downstream market access.

Management Commentary

Brandon Colwell, Chief Executive Officer of Nusa Nickel, commented:

“2025 was a defining year for Nusa Nickel. We transitioned into production, became revenue generating, and secured government approval for our trading subsidiary, all of which materially strengthen our business. We believe our position as the only revenue-producing nickel junior company in North America operating in Indonesia is highly differentiated. As we move into 2026, our focus is on growth, scale, and disciplined execution as we evaluate new projects, advance toward a TSX Venture Exchange listing, and expand both our production and trading platforms to build long-term shareholder value.”

About Nusa Nickel Corp.

Nusa Nickel Corp. is North America’s only revenue-generating nickel producer and licensed trader operating in Indonesia’s world-leading nickel district.

The Company focuses on the responsible sourcing, production, and sale of lateritic nickel material, with a commitment to environmental stewardship and supporting local communities. In addition to its production activities, Nusa Nickel is a licensed nickel trader, enabling it to source and supply nickel ore from third-party producers and expand its market footprint across Indonesia.

Now available in English, Mila’s Big Wish will soon be released in Spanish in partnership with Babidi-Bú.

NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Maria Paula “Pali” Bermúdez Quintana, creator of the Bunny Tails / Aventuras de Algodón series, introduces a heartwarming picture book that reassures young children of their special place in the family as they prepare to welcome a new sibling.

As the first installment in the Bunny Tails universe, Mila’s Big Wish blends comforting language with tender illustrations to help families open meaningful conversations about love, change, and belonging.

At the center of the story is Mila, a little bunny whose biggest wish is to become a big sister. When her dream finally comes true, Mila discovers that while change can feel overwhelming, the heart always finds room to grow. Through her journey, young readers learn that every child holds a meaningful and irreplaceable place within their family—no matter how the family becomes.

Pali was inspired to create the book not only by her background in psychology and communication, but also by her own motherhood journey. The story grew out of her personal need to explain—using simple, loving words—to her own daughter what it means when a family grows and a new sibling arrives. Pali wanted a story that could reassure children that their love is not replaced; it expands.

“Becoming a big sibling is a beautiful moment, but it’s also one filled with questions,” Pali explains. “We wanted Mila’s story to remind children that their emotions are valid and their place in the family remains deeply secure.”

Ideal for families preparing for a new baby, early childhood educators, and caregivers, Mila’s Big Wish includes easy questions and gentle conversation prompts to help adults guide children through feelings such as excitement, confusion, jealousy, and pride. A simple family moment at the end of the book helps children connect Mila’s story to their own lives, reinforcing the message that their emotions matter and their role in the family is deeply valued.

With a focus on emotional growth and family connection, Mila’s Big Wish sets the tone for future titles in the Bunny Tails / Aventuras de Algodón series, inviting children and caregivers into a cozy world where love grows alongside life’s changes.

The book is now available in English. The Spanish edition is forthcoming in partnership with Babidi-Bú. You can secure your copy here: https://www.amazon.com/Bunny-Tails-family-change-growing/dp/B0FX63Y1CH

Creative Repute announces a new Client Pricing Portal designed to provide visibility into offerings, pricing, and engagement before the discovery conversations.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Creative Repute announced the launch of its new Client Engagement Portal, a centralized digital experience designed to bring clarity, consistency, and transparency to how organizations explore, scope, and engage with Creative Repute’s graphic design and website development agency services.

The portal reflects an intentional investment in how Creative Repute operates and supports long-term growth. It clearly outlines service offerings, pricing ranges, and engagement models, allowing conversations to begin with shared understanding and standards.

Rather than relying on multiple third-party platforms for contracts, invoicing, and management, the portal centralizes the entire onboarding process in one place. The system was custom designed and built entirely with code Creative Repute created, owns, and maintains, eliminating the need for excessive integrations. Clients can select services, sign agreements, manage billing, and complete onboarding through a single, streamlined experience.

By offering clarity earlier in the process using this self-guided tool, Creative Repute helps clients and prospects make decisions in a more streamlined manner. Prospects and clients are able to understand what different levels of engagement require, creating an efficient starting point for collaboration.

What Transparency Looks Like in Practice

The new portal allows organizations to:
• Review clearly defined service options and pricing ranges
• Understand realistic scope, timelines, and commitments
• Determine early whether an engagement aligns with internal priorities and resources
• Enter conversations better prepared and more confident in their decisions

For clients, this means knowing what to expect, more succinct and direct communication, and more productive conversations.

“For many organizations, the hardest part of engaging an agency isn’t deciding what they need – it’s understanding what it actually costs and why.” said Creative Repute Founder and CEO, Nilé Livingston. “This portal is designed to offer certainty. The portal offers clear pricing context and service structure so organizations can make informed decisions.”

Designed for Real-World Decision-Making

The portal was designed with the realities of leadership in mind. Founders, executives, and marketing leaders are often balancing internal stakeholders, budget cycles, and competing priorities before committing to outside support from a branding agency. The portal allows them to explore feasibility on their own terms.

The portal helps strategic conversations start from a more informed place. When discussions begin, everyone is aligned on expectations around scope, investment, and timing.

Supporting Scalable Growth – for Clients and the Agency

The launch of the portal is part of Creative Repute’s broader operational roadmap, supporting sustainable growth while also maintaining quality and culture. Internally, it allows Creative Repute’s Account Managers to scope work efficiently and allocate resources faster. Externally, it empowers prospective clients to make informed decisions earlier in their journey.

As organizations increasingly demand transparency, predictability, and accountability from partners, Creative Repute’s portal positions the agency at the forefront of a more modern, trust-driven model of collaboration. The portal is now live and actively used across new engagements.

About Creative Repute

Founded on January 1, 2017, Creative Repute is a Philadelphia-based design and development agency specializing in brand strategy, digital experiences, and operationally sound creative solutions. The agency partners with organizations globally, combining strategic insight, thoughtful design, and structured execution to help brands grow with clarity and purpose. Deeply invested in community engagement and inclusive practices, Creative Repute believes strong brands are built where people, systems, and strategy align.
