The East Metro DeKalb CID was formed in May of 2014 and is located in the south eastern portion of DeKalb County.

Under the umbrella of his management company, Jakes is a McDonald’s Franchisee, operating three restaurants in the Stone Mountain/Lithonia area of DeKalb County. In addition to being retired from the NFL, Jakes has many affiliations, hobbies and philanthropic interests.

Rounding out the discussion was Lloyd Nurse, co-founder and CEO of Nurse Technologies, a company geared towards raising awareness of problems related to medicine usage.

Host CW Hall sat down with these guests to learn about the Cobb2020 health initiative.

The Cobb2020 Partnership is a partnership of community organizations and individuals dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles and the delivery of essential health services in Cobb County. As a health initiative coordinated through the Cobb-Douglas Department of Public Health, this far-reaching effort aims to improve the health of this region that hosts over 800,000 residents across a number of health and lifestyle markers such as smoking, obesity, access to primary care, and many more.

Through a strategic process called Mobilizing Action Through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP), Cobb2020 has assessed the current health status of the County and is developing a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) that will help create significant changes in building a healthier community.

“The overall goal is to implement strategic changes throughout Cobb County over the next five years,” explained Dr. Kennedy. “These changes will build a foundation for reducing and preventing chronic disease such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease and cancer by promoting healthy lifestyles and better access to health and prevention services for the community.”

Some of the highlights of programs implemented by the CHIP include three new Farm Fresh Markets that opened in the Spring of 2014 in a food desert in Austell, GA, and several Cobb2020 partners established regular mini-markets onsite for their employees and clients. Additionally, a no-smoking ordinance for parks and cemeteries in the City of Kennesaw passed in June 2014. A new Childhood Obesity Grant was obtained from Healthcare Georgia to support work on joint use agreements and work with school wellness councils. And Good Samaritan Health Center of Cobb, a Cobb2020 partner, was approved as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) bringing more resources to improve access to health services.

Founders Club Radio on Business RadioX Features NFL Legend Morten Andersen

Posted on

ATLANTA, GA–(Marketwired – October 01, 2015) – Founders Club Radio host John Coffin took part in the Vistage Executive Summit on September 2, 2015. Coffin brought the Founders Club Radio studio to the event and spoke with numerous participants and speakers about their roles in Vistage. Event Speaker Morten Andersen shared his wisdom on A Certain Kind of Stubborn, and joined Coffin afterwards for a one-on-one discussion about his life.

The 2015 Vistage Executive Summit focused on “Leading with 2020 Vision” and brought together folks across the business spectrum. The Summit featured a panel of speakers to challenge participants to think differently and help them gain clarity on the place their businesses hold in a rapidly changing economy.

Author, business owner and consultant Morten Andersen is the all-time leader in games played in the NFL and holds the distinction of being the all-time leading scorer in NFL history, spanning 25 years with the League. He talked of his early days with Coffin. “It started from pretty humble beginnings, an immigrant perspective,” said Andersen. “With passion, energy, effort and purpose, I was able to sustain a pretty long career with very good help from some great people. When you make the process and the journey great, the result becomes great.”

Andersen’s address to the Vistage Executive Summit, “A Certain Kind of Stubborn,” led participants through the six characteristics of the right kind of stubborn, and why raw, intense behavior is what it takes to succeed. In his discussion with Coffin, he went on to correlate the stubbornness he learned in the NFL to the stubbornness needed to succeed in business.

“I’m talking about the kind of stubbornness that gets you through situations where your back’s against the wall — my Special Teams Coach calls it ‘The World of Suck’ — and it is,” explained Andersen. “The road in front of you demands it.”

To learn more about Andersen’s distinguished career in the NFL and his recent business endeavors, listen to the entire interview on Founders Club Radio.

Top Docs Radio on Midtown Business RadioX Spotlights Georgia Cancer Specialists

Posted on

ATLANTA, GA–(Marketwired – September 22, 2015) – October’s National Breast Cancer Awareness Month begins in just a few short days, and as a timely reminder, Top Docs Radio welcomed to the studio Dr. Priyah Rudolph with Georgia Cancer Specialists to discuss the issues surrounding this disease. Host CW Hall spoke with Dr. Rudolph about how she came to choose oncology as her specialty of practice.

Affiliated with Northside Hospital Cancer Institute, Georgia Cancer Specialists provides an integrative approach to cancer care that includes prevention, early detection, advanced treatment, clinical research, support services, and compassionate caregivers in communities across Georgia. As a medical oncologist with Georgia Cancer Specialists, Dr. Rudolph practices in the Athens, GA office for the group and has expertise with several forms of cancer.

Citing statistics from breastcancer.org, Dr. Rudolph said, “In the US, roughly 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Nearly 300,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year.” She also shared the importance self-breast exams, conducted at least monthly, paired with annual mammograms annually after the age of 40 or sooner if a person has direct descendants of breast cancer patients. “Early detection helps give the patient more options for treatment,” Dr. Rudolph explained, “as well as the likelihood of successful treatment.”

Dr. Rudolph reviewed the various treatments available and what to expect should the troubling news come that a finding is indeed cancer. She also talked about the fact that breast cancer is very survivable with today’s technology and medical advancements.
