Clearwater Counseling, PC is urging individuals to use their voices to raise awareness for mental health issues globally on World Mental Health Day October 10. In light of the pandemic and other social and economic issues, the need for mental health awareness and resources has become more crucial than ever, and Clearwater wants to use this special occasion to advocate for global mental health education and an end to the stigma surrounding mental health.
DGMD Medical has introduced some new October specials to help customers “Fall” into a new skin care routine. Deals include buy-one-ZO-skincare-product and get the second for 15% off. They’re also offering a free Emsculpt maintenance treatment with purchase of a series, and 15% off all IV treatments. Time to head into DGMD and fall back into your new routine! ZO is a medical-grade line designed to treat all your skincare concerns. They have three different product types—Getting Skin Ready, which features cleansers, exfoliates, and toners; Correct + Prevent, which includes anti-aging, brightening, and acne-prevention products; and Protect, which features various sunscreen SPFs and formulas. Emsculpt is a non-invasive, non-surgical body-toning procedure that induces powerful muscle contraction through energy, which penetrates to fat and muscle layers. Your body responds with a deep remodeling of its inner structure that results in muscle building and sculpting. DGMD’s variety of IV treatment options provides intravenous fluids, vitamins, and antioxidants to help you feel your best. IV treatments can cure a hangover or prep you for a marathon, all in a comfortable 45 minutes. Located at 1501 Jackson St., STE 100, DGMD Medical grew out of a desire to provide a boutique experience and avoid the one-sizefits-all mentality that many people associate with medical treatments. To schedule an appointment, call (402) 999-2329, email info@ DGMDmedical.com, or visit DGMDmedical.com.

Malone Center Launches Maternal Wellness Program to Combat Racial Inequities On September 4, the Clyde Malone Community Center launched their new Malone Maternal Wellness programs to combat the disparities and inequities in black maternal health while providing safe and culturally competent care. Their programs are led by BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color) individuals and focus on education, empowerment, support, and client services during pregnancy and a year+ after childbirth. The mission of the Maternal Wellness Program is to increase breastfeeding rates, provide doula services, and increase the number of doulas in the BIPOC population in Lincoln and Lancaster County. By providing a depth of resources and education, their families can make empowered and informed decisions during their birthing journey. The Malone Center offers birthing classes, sponsorship for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum doula services, as well as breastfeeding education and support programs. According to the Malone Center, black infants are 21% less likely to be breastfed than white infants, and low breastfeeding rates add more than $3 billion per year to medical costs for mothers and their children. Black women with at least a college degree are five times more likely to experience a pregnancy-related death compared to white women with a similar education. Studies show black women are more likely to encounter barriers to receiving quality care and support for breastfeeding. Since 1965, the Clyde Malone Community Center has created and facilitated programs to combat the racial disparities and inequities in justice, healthcare, and social systems.
