“If the clinic hadn’t been so accessible and efficient and the Nurse Practitioner had not been so thorough in her follow-up, they probably wouldn’t have caught the cyst,” said a Richmond Employee about the City of Richmond’s Marathon Health Clinic. “All of this happened within one week. If I had gone to my primary care doctor, it would have taken at least two weeks just to get an appointment, only to receive antibiotics and not a comprehensive assessment. In this case, the clinic’s care was potentially lifesaving.” Read more about how the City of Richmond’s newest employer-sponsored healthcare clinics, operated by Marathon Health, are shaping the future of healthcare delivery in the workplace in the latest issue of Public Management Magazine. https://lnkd.in/eAsfsXaZ

The effort was led by the Richmond Police Department in hopes of spreading the message of safer roadways for all. RPD Chief Rick Edwards spoke about the many safety measures that the city of Richmond recently added. “Richmond has engineered many traffic calming measures, such as speed tables and roundabouts,” said Chief Edwards, “and Safety Cameras have been installed in front of schools to automatically cite violators…but motorists are still speeding.” ? Also joining the event was the Henrico County Police Chief Eric English, Virginia State Police Sergeant Jessica Shehan, Chesterfield County Police Captain Pete Cimbal, AAA’s Morgan Dean, and Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles’ Mitch Hrdlicka. ? The agencies urge motorists to be mindful of their speed and be aware of motorcycles in their surroundings when driving. Road safety is a team effort, and all six agencies are committed to safe roadways for all.
