INJOY HEALTH EDUCATION AND THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN DOWN SYNDROME ASSOCIATION PARTNER TO SUPPORT MEDICAL COMMUNITY

LONGMONT, CO – It was announced today that InJoy Health Education, the country’s leading provider of evidence-based, video-rich teaching solutions for medical and education professionals working in obstetrics and early childhood development, has partnered with the Rocky Mountain Down Syndrome Association (RMDSA).

InJoy will donate one percent of sales orders during the month of October 2017 to RMDSA as part of its support of Down Syndrome Awareness Month.

“Just as InJoy complements the care of nurses, doctors, educators, and other medical professionals by providing engaging and inspiring educational materials for families, so does RMDSA by offering essential information, emotional-support services, and other resources to professionals and the families they serve,” said Carlos Descalzo, president and CEO of InJoy.

“My wife and I have a son with Down syndrome,” Descalzo added. “So, I know the parents’ perspective well, and I know how important the nurses and doctors were to us when my son was born. They helped us so much. At InJoy we want to support those doctors and nurses, and we believe that the training and services RMDSA provides will help immeasurably.”

Donations will go to RMDSA’s medical outreach and training programs.

RMDSA – a non-directional and immediate resource for physicians, nurses, educators, and families – offers training services for medical professionals that are designed to complement what they already do for patients. RMDSA helps nurses and doctors deliver a pre- or postnatal diagnosis in a way that is not only informative but that also outlines options and gives hope and perspective. Their team brings peace of mind and understanding and presents realistic expectations to patients in what can be a very confusing time.

“We work with pediatricians, OB/GYNs, nurses, geneticists, and many others in the medical community to ensure that when a diagnosis is delivered, it is done in a factual, non-biased manner,” explained Mac Macsovits, executive director of RMDSA.

RMDSA staff is available for presentations and trainings for medical staff in the Rocky Mountain region, as well as to provide direct assistance for patients.

“Partnering with InJoy is a natural fit,” he added. “Both of our organizations believe in empowerment and by working together with the nurses and doctors and other medical professionals that we both serve – by giving them the best curriculum, the best training, and the most current approaches to care – we are supporting families, babies, and young children in ways that will be make a big difference.”

InJoy’s Revamped CARE Program to Provide Low-Cost, High-Quality Health Education to More Organizations Serving Underserved Communities Longmont, Colorado

Since 1988, InJoy has been committed to all women and families having access to evidence-based maternal/child health information. Care About Reaching Everyone (CARE) is a special discount program created to assist educators who serve low-income, at-risk, and underserved communities. Recently, InJoy revamped their CARE program to have an even greater impact both in the United States and internationally.

In keeping with their commitment and company mission, InJoy wants all health educators have access the same high quality, up-to-date, and evidence-based teaching materials that the larger, privately-funded health organizations can more easily access. With better information, families increase their chances to make informed health decisions and, more importantly, give children a better start during their most vulnerable years.

“We aren’t just continuing to offer the program, we also want to do it better,” explains InJoy’s CEO, Carlos Descalzo. “We are seeing an increased need. Educators and organizations are being asked to do more with less. With funding being cut for many government programs, there are more small non-profit organizations and individuals trying to fill the gaps.”

In order to meet the amplified needs of non-profits, InJoy increased the amount of money allotted for discounts, and is now offering a wider selection of products through the CARE program, such as their award-winning Understanding Guides with online video access and their BASICS Breastfeeding Booklets with Text4Video, a new product designed specifically for younger, limited-literacy parents. The company also created better application guidelines for the discount program so that even
