Below is a short excerpt from Paquin Healthcare’s CEO Tony Paquin:


One of the reasons Americans have become consumers is that those who Pay and who Provide healthcare have changed, and patients have been forced to adapt. Even if you chose to be only a patient, the modern healthcare industry has virtually eliminated that option.


In prior generations, people needing healthcare were strictly seen as Patients. Doctors prescribed medication, hospitals provided care, and insurance companies paid the bills. Today, however, with the shift towards HSA, co-pays, uninsured and under insureds, people are also Payors, constantly paying for their own healthcare when the Payor term once referred only to insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid. Every time you submit a co-pay you’re a Payor, and with each passing year consumers are slowly becoming responsible for more of the traditional Payor’s responsibility.

Resveratrol has been a very popular topic of discussion in the healthcare world for the last few years. Here are a few facts to consider when learning about this popular supplement:

• Resveratrol is found in over 70 plant species including nuts, grapes, pine trees, certain vines, and red wine. Some experts believe that resveratrol may be a factor in the French paradox that coronary heart disease mortality in France is lower than other similar industrialized countries due to the frequent consumption of red wine.
  

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a … Fordham baseball player?

Yes, that’s college boy Brian Kownacki joining Mark Buehrle and Paul Maholm as an early contender for the baseball play of the year with this unbelievable and successful leap turned handspring over Iona catcher James Beck on Tuesday. The soaring Superman play wasn’t just for show, either. It was part of a nine-run rally in the eighth inning that helped Fordham overcome an early 9-1 deficit en route to a 12-9 win.
