🗓️ It's the best day of the week - #ClinvestFeelGoodFriday 💙 In December, we gave 50 individuals $100 each to spread kindness. Their stories inspire us, showing that even small acts of generosity can have a lasting impact. We share these stories on Fridays to encourage others to positively affect lives! Cindy D.'s Change a Life Challenge story involves caring for the lives of our furry friends: "While the media and the hearts of most think of the less fortunate during the Christmas season, often there has to be something sacrificed to give to those fellow humans in need. Unfortunately, this leads to very lean months for humane societies and organizations such as Castaway Animal Rescue Effort, which brings in dogs and cats that were castaways or lost and have no home. CARE relies on public support and operates a thrift shop to generate money to take care of their animals and give them a chance for adoption. We decided to use the $100 to help them during this lean time. They were extremely happy to receive the help and asked mainly for dog and cat food, collars, paper towels and bleach to clean up messes. We brought all these items to them and were thrilled not only to help the poor animals that have no voice or resources like we humans do to tell others of their needs, but to also relieve the stress of those who work at CARE during this Christmas season. Those working at CARE have a definite heart for animals and the $100 we spent on food and supplies helped to at least relieve some of the worries about those in their care during these lean winter months. We were very thankful for being selected to participate in this program and quite blessed to do good for those in need during this season of giving." A huge thank you to Cindy! If you'd like to change someone's life too, join our mission today by participating in a study! Call us at 417-883-7889 to learn more. 💙

🚨 Exciting News! 🚨 We’re thrilled to introduce our office family's newest member - Oliver the Octopus! 🐙🎉 Our beautiful and tranquil aquarium greets everyone who visits. We couldn't be happier that our fish tank just got a little more crowded, but don’t worry, Oliver is fitting right in (and definitely NOT plotting world domination… we think). Stop by and say hi! Just don’t get too close—he’s still learning personal space. 😉 #MeetOliver #AprilFools

🗓️ It’s finally #ClinvestFeelGoodFriday! Each week, we share a story from our Change a Life Challenge. The challenge involved giving 50 people $100 to use for any act of kindness. The stories we received inspired us so much that we wanted to share them to encourage others to consider how acts of kindness, big or small, can have an impact! Here is how Asia A.'s chose to change a life: "I wanted to spread joy to multiple families, so I decided to invest my $100 into a giveaway! And with each entry at $1, I was able to make nearly 800 dollars!! With it, I asked teachers from York elementary to choose 16 student's, who then got to make a list of what they wanted to get for their families this Christmas. My mom and I spent the weekend shopping, and earlier this morning I got to go to the school and give them the gifts. We spent just about an hour decorating the bags and getting everything ready for Christmas morning! We also had extra money so we decided to get a few extra things for the kids to choose for siblings or anyone they may not have put on the list. (This isn’t shown in the video but one student wanted oranges and carrot for their father, it was so cute!)" Thank you Asia for taking the mission of the Change a Life Challenge to heart!

🗓️ It’s that time again—#ClinvestFeelGoodFriday 💙 We hope the warmer weather and a Change a Life Challenge story will help start your weekend off right! In December, we had the pleasure of giving 50 individuals $100 each, empowering them to use the cash to spread kindness. The stories have left us in awe that the smallest acts of generosity can have a lasting impact and truly change lives. Check out Ashley F.'s Change a Life Challenge story: "First, I would like to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to help my community! I grew up in a small town that is lower income with quite a bit of poverty, so I knew that was where I wanted to help. I picked The Haven Diaper Bank in Buffalo Missouri as my project after learning that there isn’t another diaper bank for forty miles in any direction. I took the original $100, and raised an additional $230 plus diaper and tampon donations. The extra funding and donations were given to me by family. With $330 I was able to purchase and donate 1,136 diapers, 2,176 baby wipes, 798 tampons/pads, 16 bars of soap, and 10 deodorant sticks. If picked to win, I can’t wait to help so many more people with the additional funds! This experience has renewed in me how very important it is to give back to those who need help. Thank you again!" A huge thank you to Ashley for making such a meaningful impact in her community.

We are in a new, exciting era of pharmacological weight management that has the potential to positively impact the lives of a large part of our population. Read this blog by Ryan Cady, our Director of Endocrine/Metabolic/Pain Strategy, to learn about some of the weight management trials that Headlands Research has supported, including for glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs), and how, for the first time since 1999, we are seeing a decrease in the rate of obesity in the United States. #GLP1 #ObesityCare #ClinicalTrialSites https://lnkd.in/erpfwZ-Z

🗓️ It’s our favorite day of the week—#ClinvestFeelGoodFriday! We aim to bring a smile to your face at the end of the work week with an inspiring Change a Life Challenge story. A few months ago, we provided 50 individuals with $100 each to encourage kindness as part of our Change a Life Challenge. The stories shared remind us that small acts of kindness can create a significant impact and change someone's life. Check out Kenneth S.'s Change a Life Challenge story: "My wife and I own a working cattle ranch. After I got out of the Air Force, age and health made us both retire, but we wanted to keep active doing something. The Cox hospital program making quilt for veterans first responders and their families just the ideal job we needed. This program was the best way we could help others. Being a veteran myself this was great for both of us. We started making quilts in March of 2024 so far we have delivered 131 quilt as of today 12/12/2024 The quilt patterns are drawn up and designed by my wife. The hospital provides us with some supplies and some are donated by others and we supply some. I make most of the tops and my wife does all the quilting and binding together we make a good team. We have spent much on fabric, thread, cutters and mats also time cutting, pressing sewing and delivering quilt to hospitals in Springfield and Monett we estimate that it takes about 30 hours to make one quilt." A huge thank you to Kenneth for using his time and talent to care for veterans and first responders. 💙
