Omaha’s Amethyst Home tackles COVID-19 with technology, sees growth by Savannah Behrends

We’re reassessing that,” owner Monica Freeborn said. “What’s going to be more important is merging this shop local, small business experience, with the power of the internet.” Freeborn and her husband Andy, who left his job in IT when business started picking up, describe the shops aesthetic as natural.

the shop highlights artisans from near and far. For example, the store features hand-knotted wool rugs from Turkey, India and Nepal, which take months to create but are said to last for decades. “There’s been an education factor because a lot of clients think that fine rugs are more fragile when really it’s the exact opposite,” she said. “We’ve had clients spill red wine on the rugs and were able to get it out.” The hallmark of a good product is pieces that are “livable, and kid and pet friendly.” When the shop opened in 2018 Freeborn thought that furniture personalization, which included fabrics for couches and pillows, would be the bulk of her work. What she quickly discovered was that customers wanted additional help outside of custom furniture; customers wanted help designing a space. Projects have ranged from picking a rug for a space to providing the interior design for an entire house that was then featured in Omaha Magazine. One recent project was in Kansas City, Missouri, this August when Amethyst Home was in charge of furnishing Home No. 1 on the Kansas City Artisan Home Tour, which is similar to Omaha’s Street of Dreams. The project included rugs, seating, artwork, lighting, plants, kitchenware and more. While most physical expansion plans have been put on hold or completely nixed, a Liberty, Missouri, location is on schedule to open in September of this year. Having a base in Missouri will help the team more easily serve parts of Missouri as well as Kansas. The Omaha office will continue to exist, serving Nebraska and Iowa. In addition to opening the Liberty location in the Fall, which is right outside of Kansas City, Missouri, the duo would also like to garner enough work to bring their four parttime staff members on full time.

Hometown: Rushville, Nebraska. Education: I earned my bachelor’s degree at Chadron State College and my master’s degree at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

How I got into the business: Shortly after finishing my master’s program I was working in an unrelated industry with no plans of entering into insurance, however a close friend was working for an insurance carrier and pressured me into applying for a producer position, strictly hoping he would get a $2,000 referral bonus. The rest is history. First job: Working on my family’s cattle ranch in the Sandhills of western Nebraska. Biggest career break: While not necessarily a “break,” the best move I have made in my career was choosing to become part of Lockton Companies.

The best advice I have received: “If you want a big fire, you’re going to have to chop the wood!” My father introduced this metaphor at a very young age. I am of the opinion nothing replaces hard work. About my family: I have a beautiful wife, Amy, and three children. Our son Kade will be a senior at Elkhorn High, our daughter Violet is a first grader, and our youngest, Olivia, is in preschool. Something else I’d like to accomplish: A black belt in Brazilian jujitsu. Book I finished reading recently: “Can’t Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds” by David Goggins. It’s a great quick read about the benefits of having a “hard mind” and what that hardened mindset can help you overcome. Something about me not everyone knows: I am severely colorblind. How my business will change in the next decade: I expect the business insurance

marketplace to become more automated. Receiving and digesting quotes from all applicable carriers will become increasingly easier. Topflight brokers will differentiate themselves through their consulting and risk management services. Mentor who has helped the most in my career: My mentor has always been my father. I strive to mirror his work ethic, integrity, compassion, and intestinal fortitude. Outside interests: I enjoy golf, CrossFit, bourbon, as well as following and coaching my children’s activities. Pet peeves: I suffer from misophonia. Favorite vacation spot: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Other careers I would like to try: Coaching football or wrestling at the collegiate level.

Pandemic the unlikely spark of new adventure for Scott Yahnke by Dwain Hebda

The COVID-19 pandemic doesn’t call to mind many positive things, but for Scott Yahnke it presented a prime opportunity to make the leap into full-time entrepreneurship. Yahnke, who spent nearly 10 years with Omaha Home for Boys, saw the chance to join his wife in Perennial Homestead, a company she founded in 2013 as Snowshoe Candy Company. “My wife, Ali, has been making candy, specifically caramels, as the flagship candy under Snowshoe,” he said. “I guess what gave us the confidence to take that leap was [when March came] and COVID [came] full spread and I was sent to work from home with no come back to the office timeline set. “We got a little bit of a taste of what it would be like with both of us being at home, having our daughter at home, balancing the child care and working all together. Then we just said what better time to try something than now.” Yahnke joined Omaha Home for Boys when as an undergrad he answered a job posting on campus for a part-time gig working in the organization’s rec center. From there, he rose into the created position of agriculture program coordinator, which he held for four years. Through that role, he created and managed the organization’s farm-to-table program and its first Produce with Purpose CSA program, connecting locally-grown produce with the community.

2019

Scott Yahnke … Cultivating his past experience at Omaha Home for Boys to grow Perennial Homestead. “Through the program at Omaha Home a high tunnel on the Omaha Home for Boys for Boys, I would have young adults in our campus that resulted in a longer growing residential program that were living there. They season and increased yields. The fruits and could get a job working with me in the garden vegetables supplied the campus dining hall as and helping from seed starting to harvesting well as several local farmers markets, a local produce,” he said. “The produce that we were grocery store and multiple farm-to-table restaugrowing would go towards the campus dining hall, which fed the residential youth as well as Proud Sponsors of the 2019 staff and community members at various times. Then, along with that, I would market produce outside of OHB.” Under his guidance, the operation substantially increased its farm production, building

rants. He plans to put that experience to use in his new role supplying Perennial Homestead. “My time at OHB helped me gain valuable knowledge and skills of farm work, of crop planting, of growing a variety of crops for markets and restaurants and seeing which ones are higher value,” he said. “I learned which ones we should focus on in season and which ones have a value-added sense to them that we can use beyond their prime growing season, whether through drying or preserving some other way.” Perennial Homestead also works with area artisans to help provide a market for other products, both perishable and non-perishable. Here too, Yahnke said his past experience at Omaha Home for Boys helped him make invaluable contacts he expects will advance the company. More than that, his time on the farm aligns perfectly with the other hand-crafted products that are Perennial Homestead’s stock and trade. “Being in that world of market farming in Omaha and the surrounding area, market gardening through OHB and from Ali’s past work experiences, we were able to get tied in and strongly connected to other area producers,” he said. “Whether it was fellow small-scale farmers, urban farmers or the whole world of handmade goods and craft made items, it’s all kind of aligned.” A native of Elkhorn, Yahnke earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in general studies in 2012.

Virtual services, tech innovations position health care well to meet today’s challenges by Michelle Leach

Perhaps no industry demonstrates innovation through challenges and acceleration in the “race against time” quite like health care. “One of the encouraging things that has come out of the pandemic is the collaboration between the Lincoln hospitals and the Lancaster County Health Department,” said Robb Linafelter, CEO at Lincoln SurgiLinafelter cal Hospital. “Initially, the hospitals and the LCHD were meeting on a daily basis to discuss pandemic planning and to collaborate efforts on the care of COVID positive patients and testing. We continue to meet twice a week to discuss strategies to continue to meet the testing and treatment needs of our community.” CHI Health St. Elizabeth and Nebraska Heart President Derek Vance also referenced such partnerships; for instance, its work with the state to set up a separate unit on the sixth floor of St. Elizabeth’s West Tower. “This floor hadn’t held patients for many

years and required some significant upgrades to equipment and facilities,” he said. “The state provided funding to support the readiness of this

Vance Burnfield unit — including robotic UV lights that provide a complete sterilization of a patient room in between patients.” Accordingly, Vance said the hospital has been able to care for hundreds of patients with the virus (or suspected of having it) from the county and beyond. Additionally, a drive-up COVID-19 testing site was set up with support from the city and county health department, working with the state on a Nebraska-wide testing lab at St. Elizabeth. “In this lab, we process thousands of tests per day and are currently working to get from

He also referred to technology designed for a current capacity of 3,600 daily tests to up to virtual nurse support, which was converted to 7,000 tests per day,” he said. Similar to efforts at St. Elizabeth, Vance said allow physicians and staff to interact virtually 24 rooms at Nebraska Heart were converted — rather than creating unnecessary exposure. “Essentially, providers are able to sit at to be separate and distinct units with negative a monitor and visit with COVID-19 patients airflow in each room. “This work was completed in a matter of from a separate room via technology,” Vance days and shows how innovative we can be said. “While this, of course, does not replace when under pressure to prepare for a surge in every patient encounter (some things just can’t be done virtually), it does offer great support.” Virtual services have been applied to visits in the outpatient setting and to dozens of outpatient clinics across Nebraska, connecting with patients in a timelier manner. Occupational Therapist Emily Rumery also leads Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals’ Virtual Services Program; the program’s initial foundation was under development prior to the pandemic. So, Rumery said, they were able to quickly respond to immediate COVID-19 restrictions-related needs. “Since March, we have rapidly developed virtual services offerings in order to meet the needs of our patients and families and to continue to provide our specialized services, despite current restrictions,” she said. These services span both Lincoln and Omaha campuses and inpatient and outpatient care, including patient and family communication sessions, participation in therapy sessions and caregiver training, support groups, virtual home assessments, psychology and counseling, rehab appointments, and follow-up visits. “Although many of these services were rapidly implemented due to an immediate need, Continued on page 8.

Employers must prioritize safe workplace by Gabby Christensen

Ensuring a healthy and safe workplace during the pandemic is absolutely necessary, local professionals say. Kassy Knudson, vice president of people resources at Lincoln Industries, said a key part of its culture is being open and transparent with its team. “Throughout the pandemic, we increased the communication to our people,” she said. “It wasn’t always positive, but we were honest and told Polich people exactly what was happening and our planned response, even as things were changing daily. We also had to make changes in many of our practices and protocols during these unprecedented times, but our focus was always on taking care of our people. We tried to be as flexible and understanding with our people, whether it was child care arrangements, personal safety concerns and everything else that comes with life during a pandemic.” To keep employees safe at work, thermal temperature readers were installed at entrances to check everyone’s temperatures when they arrived. Hands-free door pulls, mask use, increased sanitization and cleaning practices and the implementation of sanitizing stations were other steps the company took. “We believe that wellness and healthy lifestyles are important to our success, so we kept our on-site health clinic and gym open throughout the pandemic,” Knudson said. “We

did have to change some practices to ensure the safety of our people and families, but we felt that keeping these resources open and accessible was critical to our people’s well-being.” Steve Polich, president of Safety Reports, said steps to minimize COVID-19 exposure vary depending on work environment. “Fortunately at Safety Reports, we’re only dealing with an office environment and our office includes plenty of open spaces with individual work stations, which makes Spearman it much easier for us to practice social distancing,” he said. To address instances where social distancing is not practical, a policy that requires employees to use a face covering whenever leaving their desk has been put in place. “Each morning, employees are required to conduct a COVID-19 self-assessment,” Polich said. “The assessment includes answering four questions regarding personal exposure, and also includes a self-administered temperature check using a touchless thermometer. Employees use our scan app to document the assessments, which eliminates the need for paperwork.” The organization has also marked off the floor six feet around each workspace as a visual reminder to maintain social distancing when approaching a coworker’s desk. “Making hand sanitizer readily available and conducting routine disinfection of commonContinued on next page.

Health insurance still complicated but more options are available by Jasmine Heimgartner

For small businesses that strive to provide health care benefits, it can be a complicated process. This past year has created further challenges as many businesses are dealing with the effects of COVID-19, which may last well into the future. “The immediate impact is that most health insurance companies waived the copays and deductibles that you would normally have to pay when the expense is for COVID testing or treatment,” said Brian McPike, president of COMPRO. “We have yet to know if the dollar amount of the claims paid by insurance companies for COVID treatment will significantly impact premiums for next year. The early information was that the amount paid for COVID claims was being offset by the reduction in costs for medical treatment that was being deferred in the early part of 2020. We also don’t know if insurance companies will add a factor to premiums to allow for increased COVID expenses.” While some things may still be unknown, there are a few bright spots on the horizon.

Along with some new pricing plans steadily trending, two new insurers will be offering coverage through the Nebraska health insurance marketplace: Medica and Bright Health. With

McPike Zimmer more options, it will mean wading through what works best for each individual company. “Having more options is a good thing and having a professional agent who works for the customer not the insurance company is more important now than ever,” said Bill Zimmer, owner of Zimmer Insurance Group. “There can

be some roadblocks for family-run businesses or those with only a few employees. For small groups that don’t currently have insurance but want to retain good employees, you can get level-funded plans anytime.” These types of plans are partially self-insured for smaller companies, with a requirement of a minimum five employees, but they do require a healthy workforce. Medical underwriting is required to determine the risk of the group. If the rates come back favorable, it may be a good option to consider and could cost considerably less than Affordable Care Act small-group rates. “It is basically taking a self-insure platform and building a policy on top of that,” Zimmer said. “If you go level self-funded, you can have a lot more options. Because it is self-insured, they can ask medical questions and only offer it to healthy business. You also have to have 75% participation of those in need.” Another option is referenced-based pricing for the level-funded plans. “On an RBP plan, there are no networks, and the insurance company pays medical providers

at a percentage of Medicare rates,” McPike said. “If you have employees in multiple states, networks could pose a problem. Now, they opened it back up and created a model where the doctor accepts a percentage of Medicare rate, which is a rate standard. This could possibly save an additional 10-20% in premium. These plans can go down to a two-person group and go up any size.” When determining how to handle high deductibles, a combined health savings account and health reimbursement arrangement is also Continued on page 8.

Safe workplace

Continued from preceding page. ly used work surfaces, handles and doorknobs is also highly recommended,” Polich said. Melissa Spearman, principal/workplace leader at DLR Group, said the firm is helping clients visualize a healthy and safe workplace by taking them through a planning exercise and understanding the key factors for each client. “We have observed that each client’s goals are unique and that there are six key topics to cover: distancing, technology, circulation, spatial, organizational and sanitization,” she said. Spearman said health and safety is the utmost concern so there is a definite need to focus on ways to make this happen in the workplace today and in the future. “This focus serves two connected purposes: first, it means fewer illnesses and a sense of safety,” she said. “Secondly, it builds trust within the workforce about returning to the workplace. The physical and psychological elements of health and wellness must both be considered.” According to Spearman, more office buildings will be displaying building data so that employees can confirm the level of health within their office before stepping inside. “In addition to helping clients reconfigure and space-plan their offices for a healthier, safer environment, we’re also working with clients to better equip their staff with customized work-from-home kits,” she said. “DLR Group has developed a prototype kit that specifies core furniture and technology essentials, with customizable comfort, sensory, nourishment, culture and biophilia add-ons.”

Sagging demand for health care workers rebounds to pre-pandemic levels by David Kubicek

After a steep drop-off earlier this year, the demand for health care workers rebounded by mid-summer and is expected to hold steady for the rest of the year. “Before the quarantine, we had tens of thousands of jobs across the country,” said Veronica Sapp, director of business development at RTG Medical. “Then they started to cut elective surgeries, and many people who should have gone to the ER didn’t go because they were afraid of being around a hospital, and we saw around 90% of the jobs on our board get cut.” By July, the jobs had returned to the levels of January and February, beSapp fore COVID-19 had gripped the nation. The demand for medical and surgical nursing and respiratory therapists has returned and is holding steady. “I think it’s common this time of year for people to get elective surgeries to use their deductible, but we’re still seeing a lot of demand for respiratory therapists for COVID-related cases,” Sapp said. Sapp expects the demand for ICU nurses and respiratory therapists to continue through the end of this year, and over the next year home health and long-term care medical professionals will be needed. “Pandemic or not, we still have an aging

community,” she said. Demand has been high in the medical staffing industry for TMS Services, according to Medical Staffing Director Lori Hofmaster. Regular customers have increased needs and new clients are contacting the firm with new opportunities, some of which are brought on by new regulations and others because of the high demand for health care workers in general.

Hofmaster Conaway Some facilities, like nursing homes or institutional or industrial settings, have felt the strain because of the number of patients or difficulty retaining staff. “Some health care workers were actually laid off because of clinics closing temporarily and hospitals not at capacity due to loss of elective surgery,” Hofmaster said. “These jobs are returning, although some employees are having difficulty returning to their jobs due to loss of child care and schools not returning to a normal schedule. “The outlook for employment in the health care industry remains as strong as ever.

The crisis has made it even more apparent than ever how important our health care workers are to society, and I believe wages in the future will increase to reflect their value.” Prior to COVID-19, the demand for health care workers was high with unemployment rates at historic lows, said Daniel Conaway, director of team member development at Hillcrest Health Services. “The supply of qualified workers was

not keeping up with demand, particularly in nursing,” he said. “In senior health care specifically, the attraction to care for the elderly population is in constant competition with hospital, ER and specialty care. And while the landscape of senior health care has evolved in types of patients, types of care and modernized facilities, some health care workers still view senior health care through Continued on next page.

Preventative health care options more numerous, but access gaps remain by Dwain Hebda

For as many options as the typical Lincolnite has for wellness medicine, there still exists holes in the local health care market for certain populations. This according to Bob Rauner, chief medical officer of One Health Nebraska and president of Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln. “Lincoln as a whole is doing very well,” he said. “Lincoln has the highest colon cancer screening rates in the state. We also have the lowest unemployment rate and are more highly educated than average, which helps us there. “Where we lose a little bit is in the disparities between high-income versus low-income or white versus minority populations.” One gap in particular is in the area of prenatal and infant care, Rauner said. “Things like access to prenatal care and preterm births and low birth weight, lower breastfeeding rates, have long-range implications,” he said. “Your start in life can influence the rest of your life. If I were to put a lot of money into something, that’s where I would start, is better access to prenatal care in our low-income

populations. “We do have some interventions in that area. There’s a lot of community breastfeeding educators recruited from some of these minority populations with language barriers, for example, to be breastfeeding educators for lower-income women and to provide all kinds of other assistance as well.” Overall, Lincoln’s health care community has seen a shift in the number of practitioners Rauner focused on keeping patients well versus waiting until they get sick to treat them. Dr. Todd Roberts, owner and founder of Aceso Total Healthcare, said wellness medicine addresses the whole patient and provides more options in healthy times than when illness sets in. “Disease management, or ‘sick care,’ has

become the de facto choice in traditional health care. Patients, therefore, are inadvertently trained to avoid seeking medical care until something is wrong,” he said. “Many individuals do not understand that most of these chronic ailments can be significantly reduced or avoided altogether by choosing a lifestyle that avoids these pitfalls.” Aceso offers a wide range of wellness therapies, including strength and conditioning, nutrition counselRoberts ing and Chinese medicine in addition to traditional Western medicine, to meet as many patient needs as possible. “We are situated to provide care to three core groups: Adults ages 25 to 80, seeking holistic and complementary health care; adults ages 50 to 80, seeking hormone replacement therapies; and adults ages 30 to 80 seeking total-health care-as-a-membership,” he said. “The majority of our clients are women looking for a better mind-body-holistic approach to health care.” Jeanne Hall of Integrative Health and Wellness Clinic, said her clinic also provides a range

You could have a $5,000 HSA with the employer HRA being $2,000 of that and the employee paying $3,000. Since they are buying $5,000, it is substantially lower. The money saved can be escrowed in savings for future claims.” When cost is simply too much, whether temporary or for the foreseeable future, it is still important to consider providing some form of benefits for current and future employees. “If you have a new business and employees make less than $40,000 per year, it may be better to not provide medical coverage so that the employees could go to the Marketplace and receive tax credits to pay for their insurance,” McPike said. “I would then offer dental, vision, life, long- and short-term disability for the employees.”

Sagging demand

Continued from preceding page. a traditional nursing home lens.” With the pandemic, the demand for health care has increased with no change in sight. COVID-19 has changed the way health care employees work in many areas, increasing the demand on them physically and emotionally. “In our industry, COVID-19 has required a dynamic increase in the use of head-to-toe PPE (personal protective equipment) and even greater precautions as we care for each customer,” Conaway said. “We have relied heavily on guidance from our governing bodies as well as our own chief medical officer to ensure we are caring for both our team members and our customers in the best, safest way possible. We not only maintain an environment that is attractive to workers but one that retains those already with us making a difference in lives every day.”

of wellness medicine therapies to benefit mind, body and spirit. “We’re primary care, but we also employ complementary therapies, alternative approaches,” she said. “We recommend chiropractic care. We highly recommend meditation, yoga, breathing practices, which we do help our clientele with. We tell people to get out in nature. We recommend acupuncture and certainly mental health services.” Hall said one distinct advantage to wellness medicine is the ability to combine therapies without the side effects of multiple chemical medicines. And, she said, some of the therapies are easy for the patient to perform anywhere. “Just getting out into nature a couple hours a week really does help to lower anxiety and boost your serotonin levels in your brain, your feel-good hormones,” she said. “We know when we’re not stressed our inflammatory process quiets down. “Along with that, proper nutrition, not eating fast foods and reducing our sugar consumption, it all lowers our inflammatory markers and protects your body. It all works together.”

Virtual services

Burnfield, director of the Institute for Rehabilitation Science and Engineering at Madonna, highlighted how technologies that are uniquely poised to promote greater patient independence for those with limited manual dexterity are also addressing the challenge of reducing unnecessary interactions, which might lead to disease-spread among high-risk populations. “At Madonna, we see some of the most medically complex patients from across the country,” Burnfield said. “Many of these individuals have only limited ability to move, such as a muscle twitch or an eye blink, thus traditional switches may be difficult to operate. Others may not be able to talk loudly enough for commercially available voice recognition technology to hear their voice. These challenges make it difficult to control traditional nurse call systems that patients use to interact with nurses and adjust hospital room settings … lights, television, blinds.” Through its First Hope Initiative grant initially funded through the Health Resources and Services Administration, researchers and clinicians are providing essential tools to people with limited mobility so they can communicate their needs and control their environments. “The technology harnesses each person’s ability, whether it’s a sip or puff of air, a wiggle of a toe or a muscle twitch, and translates it into actionable electric signals that enable them to call a nurse, surf cable channels, dim the lights, adjust window shades and much more,” she said. In partnership with Curbell Medical, Madonna is enhancing the First Hope concept with the AC20 Assistive Control Adaptor — designed under FDA guidelines, UL Listed for safety and operation in health care, and with a modern, intuitive interface. Burnfield said Curbell is manufacturing and distributing the system to facilities such as ICUs, acute care hospitals, long-term care and skilled nursing settings.

Elk River Wealth Management taps experienced talent for Omaha office

Continued from page 1. estate assistance.” In addition to Denver, Elk River also has an office in Phoenix. Company partner Jay Hummel said future branches could be added in markets such as Boulder and Kansas City. “The Omaha market is a hugely bifurcated, very fragmented market with lots of middle advisers,” Phoenix said. “One of the things that differentiates us from the others is that we provide a better platform with which to attract advisers.” Springer and Carroll said their average client is about 65, often retired, and many are small business owners or successful corporate executives. Average account size is in the $3 to $5 million range. Both Carroll and Springer are University of Nebraska at Omaha graduates with several

stops on their financial services resumes. One common denominator is that each was a wealth adviser at the former Mutual of Omaha Bank. Each has less than 100 clients. Among Springer’s clients are Kiewit executives worldwide using the firm’s stock purchase plan. Carroll has a large number of retired Union Pacific executives. One of Carroll’s 20-year clients is a retired executive in his early 80s, but his responsibilities include counseling the third generation of that family made up of six grandchildren. Carroll said when the elder client was planning to move from the longtime family residence, movers refused to handle expensive bronze statues and he had to intercede. The complex planning strategy he uses

includes tools such as additional life insurance as a replacement for federal and state taxes, a comparison of insurance carriers and their products, and non-publicly traded real estate investment trusts, among others. On the credit side, Carroll said an owner of a national company needed alternatives when selling the firm. A new solution was found by creating an irrevocable, multi-generational trust administered through South Dakota — where the client’s firm did business. This solution allowed for no capital gains or state income tax. For Springer, on the lending side, “collateral lending on stock they hold with us” is a tool that differentiates Elk River from many other advisement firms.

The 1,800-square-foot building at 6572 Maple St. was ideal for her business plan. “I’ve always thought training would be [another] good … source of income,” she said. Group training has been more difficult because of social distancing guidelines, so for now the spa offers one-on-one training. Tolbert has two employees, one specializing in makeup as well as a tooth jewel and whitening technician who rents a booth. She’s looking to add a massage therapist but said that finding one has been difficult. The day spa offers skincare, from facials to dermaplaning, chemical peels and body treatments, lash extensions, lash lifting, lash tint, brow lamination, waxing and more. Tolbert wants the spa to be a place where people can “relax and forget for a moment.” “Self-care” is a popular catchphrase in the beauty industry, even more so because

of the pandemic. Online sales have been a boon to the business — Hydrojelly masks by Esthemax and skincare products from Image and Color Up have been flying off the virtual shelves. Tolbert also sells her own clothing brand, Unemployable Streetwear, at the spa. When researching for the business, she said that iBeauté is the only day spa in the area, and the only Black-owned spa in Omaha that she knows of. When she was in school, she noticed that no other students in her class were looking to open their own business. She said that her patience in building a client base and income is paying off. While she wants everyone at any age or income level to visit the spa, she’s looking to attract a middle- to higher-income clientele that skews 35 and up.

“My goal is to eventually reach a good point to where income is steadily coming in, my workers are booked and I bring on maybe one or two more workers,” she said. “I want it to be a full house but not to where it would be packed. And then eventually I plan to relocate. I want to be able to come back and forth like once a month to be able to cater to my clients.” While the rain hampered some of the festivities on its grand opening day, friends, family and about 20 to 30 others joined in the celebration. Tolbert said that overall, “it was a blessing.” “We grilled hot dogs, [and had] chips, water, cupcakes and popcorn,” she said. “We had CBD skincare set giveaways and Hemp Hand lotion and lip gloss giveaways. We got some appointments booked [and] sold some retail, including my clothing brand.”

As crisis grows, farms try to balance health of field workers and food supply by Victoria Knight

It’s a busy time for the tomato-producing farms in this part of the state. Farms have staffed up with hundreds of workers, most of whom are Latino. Some live locally. Others are migrant workers who travel from farm to farm, chasing the summer growing seasons. Agriculture Still others come from Mexico or Central America on temporary agricultural visas to work at certain farms. But, this year, the season is taking place under a cloud of coronavirus worries that, for these agricultural workers, hit close to home. “Almost every part of the process for picking tomatoes needs to be considered in light of COVID-19,” said Ken Silver, an associate professor of environmental health at East Tennessee State University, who studies migrant worker health on Tennessee tomato farms. After all, the workers live in close quarters, sleeping in bunk beds, and sharing bathrooms and kitchens. They ride crowded buses to fields and often work in groups. And even though farm employees are deemed essential workers, they often don’t have health insurance or paid sick leave. Farms have already reported outbreaks among hundreds of workers in states that include California, Washington, Florida and Michigan. And yet, the federal government has not established any enforceable rules either to protect farmworkers from the coronavirus or to instruct employers what to do

when their workers get sick. While migrant worker advocacy groups say this allows farms to take advantage of their workers and increase their risk of exposure to the coronavirus, farms say they’re doing what they can to protect workers with the limited resources they have, while also getting their crops harvested. The situation certainly isn’t clear-cut, said Alexis Guild, director of health policy and programs at the advocacy group, Farmworker Justice. Leaving It Up to the Farms In June, 10 temporary workers out of about 80 at the Jones & Church Farms in Unicoi County, Tennessee, tested positive for the coronavirus. Another farm in that county had 38 workers test positive around the same time. “This was the scariest thing that could happen,” said Renea Jones Rogers, the farm’s food safety director. Nationally, there have been at least 3,600 cases of farmworkers testing positive for COVID-19, according to media reports gathered by the National Center for Farmworker Health. Add to this that farm employers and workers alike acknowledge that even the most basic interventions to stop transmission — social distancing and mask-wearing — often aren’t feasible, especially in the hot temperatures. Saul, 52, is a temporary farmworker who has traveled from Mexico to Virginia every

year since 1996 to harvest tobacco. In a WhatsApp message interview, he said masks are uncomfortable on the job because he is working outdoors, writing in Spanish, “En el trabajo es incómodo porque trabajamos al intemperie.” (Kaiser Health News is not publishing Saul’s last name so that he won’t be identified by his employer.) Saul said he does worry about the coronavirus, but because he lives at his job on the farm, he feels safe. When he arrived in the U.S. in April, the farm provided him with information about the pandemic, masks and hand sanitizer, he said. Nobody takes his temperature, but he works in a crew of eight, lives with only three other workers and nobody on the farm has yet been diagnosed with COVID-19. In Tennessee, the Jones & Church Farms put its own worker safety protocols in place at the beginning of the season. These included increasing sanitation, taking daily temperature readings and keeping workers in groups so they live and work with the same people. After the 10 workers tested positive for COVID-19, the farm kept them all in the same housing unit and away from the other workers — but those who were asymptomatic also kept working in the fields, though they were able to stay away from others on the job, said Jones Rogers. While the Department of Labor has not offered enforceable federal safety standards for COVID-19, it did collaborate with the Continued on page 11.

Companies scramble to bolster cybersecurity for remote workers by David Kubicek

Companies must plan extensively whenever employees leave the protection of on-site cybersecurity infrastructure to work from home. When the novel coronavirus forced much of the business community to work remotely, firms had to scramble to make preparations. “[Remote workers] don’t have the IT staff, and their home network isn’t built for the same level of security as a corporation,” said Douglas Rausch, Bellevue Rausch University’s cybersecurity program director. “You’ve taken all of that security infrastructure away. We have very strong evidence that criminals are using remote workers as a back door to get into business systems.” The first step is to write a work security policy, including what tasks should or shouldn’t be done remotely, what tools and systems should be used, and what should be done if there’s an intrusion. Make sure your Wi-Fi password is complex. Separate your home network from the business network. Many routers have a “guest network,” so if employees are working from home, it will separate their business work from all of their other home devices. Update your antivirus software regularly and set your operating system for automatic patching so updates and fixes will be applied when they become available. Turn on firewalls and use different passwords for all accounts — a password manager will be a big help. Use multifactor authentication (MFA) to reduce the likelihood of stolen credentials when logging in, said Denise Mainquist, president of ITPAC Consulting. “Multiple logins — entering username and password at multiple points — is not multifactor authentication because each

time the username and password is entered it could be stolen,” she said. A virtual private network (VPN) is important to secure the transmission of data, but true MFA is required for authentication.

Mainquist Grausnick Usually this is accomplished with an app on a phone or a code that is sent via text. The phone is “out-of-band” and harder to compromise than using only resources on a computer to authenticate. Remote workers should use company-owned computers so the firm can control what software is running on the computer and to help ensure there is no malware on the device. It also helps ensure that the company will get back any information that employees save on the computer so it may appropriately destroy the data. Otherwise, data stored on personally owned computers, if not handled correctly, could become a breach. “Working from home won’t go away anytime soon, so you need to figure out how to make this work,” said Scott Grausnick, CEO of Harbinger Partners. “It’s not a matter of if you’ll get hacked but when you’ll get hacked. Hire someone to do your tech work who is a professional and does it for a living. Cybercriminals will go after the low-hanging fruit, and there are so many [easy targets] out there. If you take minimal steps, they won’t bother trying to hack you because it’s too much work — there are so many other people they can hack.” Grausnick recommended moving the

company to cloud-based applications. “We’re a $20 million business with 120 employees,” he said. “We’ve been a virtual business for 21 years. We don’t have an office — everyone works from home. Ten years ago, we had our own servers, owned our own software on those servers, and had an IT person. We’ve since moved everything to the cloud. With the tools available today it’s really easy to not own your own technology. We can’t afford to do that. There are companies that can do it better and cheaper than we could in-house. We went with Ostra. Before going with remote employees, all of our devices go through their data center, which has world-class cybersecurity tools that will prevent us from being hacked. It costs us pennies.”

age in place; however, many seniors need help with various tasks throughout the day to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle,” she said. Additionally, McCoy noted increased opportunities to help senior communities meet staffing needs. “While assisted living and other senior living options offer many advantages and extra support to aging adults, they are not always the best fit for everyone,” she said. “Home care is an option and … aging parents can get the care and support they need to stay safe and well, stay socially connected and maintain some independence.” By July 1, Warren Distribution’s sales had largely recovered, staffing levels were almost back to pre-COVID levels, and leadership reported they were in “hiring mode” again; though, concerns persist about whether consumers will return to purchasing motor oil and other auto functional fluids products at pre-outbreak levels. Leadership was challenged to stay aware of specific state and local directives (Warren is in six states), and to transition the more than 90% of its corporate employees who had never worked remotely. Due to the nature of operations, the company relies heavily on social distance precautions. Senior VP and General Counsel Rebecca Fox said many things leadership has learned from operating manufacturing and distribution facilities during this time will be applied to plans for a safe return. Because of the virus, the company has reviewed its labor models, focusing on training its own associates. The ability to perform job functions offsite will allow Warren to be viewed as a “more agile and attractive” employer, and Fox said the company’s better at collaboration across functions and connecting through telecommunications. The current crisis informs how future infectious diseases are handled, ensuring business continuity. “There has been a lot learned and these lessons will help us come out stronger on the other side of this crisis,” she said.

A home office is this year’s hottest housing feature by Steve Brown

Forget about those media rooms, wine cellars and home spas — the hottest item for buyers in a COVID-19 world is a home office. With millions of Americans now working at home, house hunters are looking for more room to hang Home improvement their work hats. Almost half of home shoppers nationwide say they have converted a space at home into a remote office, according to a new study by Realtor.com. And more than 60% of potential homebuyers say that working at home is influencing the kind of house they want and the location. “The ability to work remotely is expanding home shoppers’ geographic options and driving their motivation to buy, even if it means a longer commute, at least in the short term,” Realtor. com senior economist George Ratiu said in the new report. “Although it’s too early to tell what long-term impact the COVID-era of remote work will have on housing, it’s clear that the pandemic is shaping how people live and work under the same roof.” Local real estate agents say that buyers are looking at larger homes and that room for an

office can be a must. “I have seen more buyers looking home offices in their next home purchase and even floor plans with options for two homes offices for couples and families,” said Dallas agent David Bush. A home office was the most chosen new home feature, according to a Realtor.com June survey. “It is a required room,” said Marty Marks with Ebby Halliday Realtors. “If there’s not one already there, we need an extra bedroom or buyers will convert the formal dining room into an office.” Nearly 40% of currently employed home shoppers Realtor.com surveyed nationwide said they are currently working from home as a result of COVID-19. Half of the homebuyers included in the survey said they do the majority of their work in a home office.

As crisis grows, farms try to balance health of field workers and food supply Continued from page 9. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to publish a set of voluntary, agriculture-specific guidelines. Those were released in June, just days after Jones & Church became aware of the farm’s outbreak. Much of what had already been done at Jones & Church, though, tracked closely with those recommendations, which also suggested that workers be screened every day for COVID-19 symptoms and that those who become sick be given their own space to recover apart from others. SUPER CROSSWORD

Other suggestions in the CDC and Labor Department directive, geared more toward indoor food-processing factories such as tomato-packing plants, included installing plastic shields if 6 feet of distance isn’t possible between workers, putting in hand-washing stations and providing personal protective equipment or cloth face coverings. Advocates say these guidelines are sound, in theory. Their glaring flaw is that they are voluntary. “We don’t believe that the health and LEAVING L.A.

safety of workers should be left to the goodwill of employers,” said María Perales Sanchez, communications coordinator for Centro de Los Derechos del Migrante, an advocacy group with offices in both Mexico and the U.S. A Department of Labor spokesperson offered a different take. “Employers are and will continue to be responsible for providing a workplace free of known health and safety hazards,” the spokesperson said, adding that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s preexisting general-safety standards and CDC guidelines are used to determine workplace safety violations. OSHA is an agency within the Labor Department. Farm industry groups are apprehensive of any increased federal regulation. “I don’t think OSHA would be able to have some sort of mandatory regulation that wouldn’t disadvantage some farmers,” said Allison Crittenden, director of congressional relations for the American Farm Bureau Federation. Farms have already put many COVID-19 protections in place, she said, “and if these actions are taking place in a voluntary way, we don’t see that we need to have a mandatory requirement.” Difficulties in Accessing Health Care Migrant farmworkers, despite occupying an essential link in the country’s food supply chain, often aren’t provided with workplace benefits like health insurance or paid sick leave. Saul, the Virginia tobacco farmworker, said he didn’t believe he has any health insurance. If he gets sick, he would need to tell his farm employer, who would then have to drive him to the doctor. The closest city to the farm is 15 miles away. Who is responsible for these costs — the worker or the farm — depends on individual circumstances. Many farms employ mostly Latino workers, and CDC data illustrates that it’s much more likely for Hispanic or Latino people to be infected, hospitalized or die from COVID complications than white people. Experts also warn that because the COVID pandemic is disproportionately affecting people of color, it could widen preexisting health disparities.

Also, seeking a doctor’s care can feel risky for migrant farmworkers. Workers who are undocumented may worry about being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while workers who have green cards may be concerned about the Trump administration’s “public charge rule.” This controversial rule weighs immigrants’ use of public programs, including health care, against their applications for citizenship. However, the federal government has said seeking treatment for COVID-19 wouldn’t fall under the rule. And while contact tracing is important to stop the spread of COVID-19 among farmworkers, many health departments don’t have translators on staff who can speak Spanish or Indigenous Central American languages, nor has there been a systematic nationwide tracking of farmworker outbreaks thus far, as has been done with long-term care facilities outbreaks. So “it’s really hard to get a grasp on how many farmworkers specifically are testing positive,” said Guild, with Farmworker Justice. That could be an issue for tracing outbreaks, especially as the harvesting season ramps up for certain crops and farms bolster their workforces. At the end of July, almost 90 additional temporary workers arrived at Jones & Church Farms to help harvest tomatoes through October, said Jones Rogers. Though the 10 workers who had COVID-19 have recovered, she said she’s scared that if more get the disease, there won’t be enough housing to keep sick workers separate from others or enough healthy workers to harvest the crops. “Tomatoes don’t wait until everyone is feeling good to be harvested,” said Jones Rogers.

Primary care doctors look at payment overhaul after pandemic disruption by Steven Findlay

Answers on page 12.

For Dr. Gabe Charbonneau, a primary care doctor in Stevensville, Mont., the coronavirus pandemic is an existential threat. Charbonneau, 43, his two partners and 10 staff members are struggling to keep their rural practice Health care alive. Patient volume is slowly returning to pre-COVID levels. But the large Seattle-area company that owns his practice is reassessing its operations as it adjusts to the new reality in health care. Charbonneau has been given until September to demonstrate that his practice, Lifespan Family Medicine, is financially viable — or face possible sale or closure. “We think we’re going to be OK,” said Charbonneau. “But it’s stressful and pushes

us to cut costs and bring in more revenue. If the virus surges in the fall … well, that will significantly add to the challenge.” Like other businesses around the country, many doctors were forced to close their offices — or at least see only emergency cases — when the pandemic struck. That led to sharp revenue losses, layoffs and pay cuts. Dr. Kevin Anderson’s primary care practice in Cadillac, Mich., is also scrambling. The practice — like others — shifted in March to seeing many patients via telemedicine but still saw a dramatic drop in patients and revenue. Anderson, 49, and his five partners are back to about 80% of the volume of patients they had before the pandemic. But to enhance their chances of survival, they plan to overhaul the way the practice gets paid Continued on next page.

Primary care doctors look at payment overhaul after pandemic disruption Continued from preceding page. by Medicare. Jodi Faustlin, CEO of the for-profit Center for Primary Care in Evans, Ga., manages 37 doctors at eight family medicine practices in the state. She’s confident all eight will emerge from the pandemic intact. But that is more likely, she said, if the company shifts from getting paid piecemeal for every service to a per-patient, per-month reimbursement. One of those 37 doctors is Jacqueline Fincher, the president of the American College of Physicians. Fincher said the pandemic “has laid bare the flaws in primary care” and the “misguided allocation of money and resources” in the U.S. health care system. “It’s nuts how we get paid,” said Fincher, whose practice is in Thomson, Ga. “It doesn’t serve patients well, and it doesn’t work for doctors either — ever, let alone in a pandemic.” Physicians and health policy experts say the pandemic is accelerating efforts to restructure primary care — which accounts for about half the nation’s doctor visits every year — and put it on a firmer financial footing. The efforts also aim to address long-festering problems: a predicted widespread shortage of primary care doctors in the next decade, a rising level of physician burnout and a long-recognized underinvestment in primary care overall. No data yet exist on how many of the nation’s primary care doctors have closed up shop permanently, hastened retirement or planned other moves following the COVID-19 outbreak. An analysis by the American Academy of Family Physicians in late April forecast furloughs, layoffs and reduced hours that translated to 58,000 fewer primary care doctors, and as many as 725,000 fewer nurses and other staff in their offices, by July if the pandemic’s impact continued. In 2018, the U.S. had about 223,000 primary care doctors. “The majority (of primary care doctors) are hanging in there, so we haven’t yet seen the scope of closures we forecast,” said Jack Westfall, a researcher at the academy. “But the situation is still precarious, with many doctors struggling to make ends meet. We’re also hearing more anecdotal stories about older doctors retiring and others looking to sell their practices.”

Three-quarters of the more than 500 doctors contacted in an online survey by McKinsey & Co. said they expected their practices would not make a profit in 2020. A study in the journal Health Affairs, published in June, put a hard number on that. It estimated that primary care practices would lose an average of $68,000, or 13%, in gross revenues per full-time physician in 2020. That works out to a loss of about $15 billion nationwide. One main problem, said Westfall, is that payment for telehealth and virtual visits is still inadequate, and telehealth is not available to everyone. Re-Engineering Primary Care Payments The remedy being most widely promoted is to change the way doctors are reimbursed — away from the predominant system today, under which doctors are paid a fee for every service they provide (commonly called “fee-for-service”). Health economists and patient advocates have long advocated such a transition — primarily to eliminate or at least greatly reduce the incentive to provide excessive and unneeded care and promote better management of people with chronic conditions. Stabilizing doctors’ incomes was previously a secondary goal. Achieving this transition has been slow for many reasons, not the least of which is that some early experiments ended up paying doctors too little to sustain their businesses or improve patient care. Instead, over the past decade doctors have sought safety in larger groups or ownership of their practices by large hospitals and health systems or other entities, including private equity firms. A 2018 survey of 8,700 doctors by the Physicians Foundation, a nonprofit advocacy and research group, found, for example, that only 31% of doctors owned or co-owned their practice, down from 48.5% in 2012. Fincher, the American College of Physicians president, predicts the pandemic will propel more primary care doctors to consolidate and be managed collectively. “More and more know they can’t make it on their own,” she said. A 2018 survey by the American Medical Association found that, on average, 70% of doctor’s office revenue that year came from fee-for-service, with the rest from per-mem-

ber, per-month payments and other methods. The pandemic has renewed the push to get rid of fee-for-service — in large part because it has underscored that doctors don’t get paid at all when they can’t see patients and bill piecemeal for care. “Primary care doctors now know how vulnerable they are, in ways they didn’t before,” said Rebecca Etz, a researcher at the Larry A. Green Center, a Richmond, Va., advocacy group for primary care doctors. Charbonneau, in Montana, said he’s “absolutely ready” to leave fee-for-service behind. However, he’s not sure the company that owns his practice, Providence Health System — which operates 1,100 clinics and doctors’ practices in the West — is committed to moving in that direction. Anderson, in Michigan, is embracing a new payment model being launched next year under Medicare called Primary Care First. He’ll get a fixed monthly payment for each of his Medicare patients and be rewarded with extra revenue if he meets health goals for them and penalized if he doesn’t. Medicare to Launch New Payment System The Trump administration — following in the footsteps of the Obama administration — has been pushing for physician payment reform. Medicare’s Primary Care First program is a main vehicle in that effort. It will launch in 26 areas in January. Doctors will get a fixed per-patient monthly fee along with flat fees for each patient visit. A performance-based adjustment will allow for

bonuses up to 50% when doctors hit certain quality markers, such as blood pressure and blood sugar control and colorectal cancer screening, in a majority of patients. But doctors also face penalties up to 10% if they don’t meet those and other standards. Some private insurers are also leveraging the pandemic to enhance payment reform. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, for example, is offering financial incentives starting in September to primary care practices that commit to a shift away from fee-for-service. Independent Health, an insurer in New York state, is giving primary care practices per-patient fixed payments during the pandemic to bolster cash flow. Meanwhile, two of the nation’s largest primary care practice companies continue to pull back from fee-for-service: Central Ohio Primary Care, with 75 practices serving 450,000 patients, and Oak Street Health, which owns 50 primary care practices in eight states. “Primary care docs would have been better off during the pandemic if they had been getting fixed payments per month,” said Dr. T. Larry Blosser, the medical director for outpatient services for the Central Ohio firm. Kaiser Health News (KHN) is a national health policy news service.

The University of Nebraska Medical Center’s Steven Hinrichs, M.D., was named to a national panel tasked with exploring how the cruise industry can safely resume operations this fall and winter. Hinrichs has dealt with challenges associated with infectious diseases throughout his professional life, which makes him a perfect fit for the “Healthy Sail Panel,” a group comprised of top experts in public health, infectious disease, biopreparedness, hospitality and maritime operations and cruise industry leaders. The panel is co-chaired by Michael Leavitt, former secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and Scott Gottlieb, M.D., former commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

UNMC physician Roslyn “Roz” Mannon, M.D., has received a four-year, $500,000 grant from the Veterans Administration to explore a new mouse model she discovered that mimics injury caused by immunosuppressant drugs cyclosporine A and tacrolimus. Mannon has a basic science research lab at the Nebraska Western Iowa VA Medical Center in Omaha. Her research goals include learning why kidneys fail after transplantation and ultimately finding a therapy that limits toxicity of a drug. Another goal is to find a way to detect kidney injury without doing biopsies, which are invasive. Nebraska Medical Center was rated the No. 1 rated hospital in the Omaha metro area and in the state of Nebraska by the U.S. News & World Report. Additionally, it ranked No. 34 in Cancer and No. 41 in Gastroenterology and GI Surgery.

COVID-19 pandemic and e-commerce drive changes in retail by David Kubicek

Retail stores are evolving, thanks to pressure from the COVID-19 pandemic and the growth of e-commerce. “The biggest change is the idea of making a definite entry and exit [through stores],” said Jim Sadler, senior general manager of Westroads Mall. “In the past, they might have a bank of four doors where you could come and go through each one.” Many stores limit the number of people who can be in the store at one time, use arrows to point the direction of traffic down each aisle, and ask shoppers to stay at least six feet away from one another for social distancing. Many retail chains are growing more organically by pushing sales in some of their better performing stores rather than opening more stores for additional sales. “In a market like Omaha where [in the past] a retailer might have put four or five stores, maybe now they’re [opening] two or even one store,” Sadler said. During the pandemic, drive-throughs served as a lifeblood for restaurants to get food to their customers with minimal contact, and their popularity will continue to grow, said Dan Dutton, a partner at OMNE. “Takeout-only parking stalls will continue to be added for restaurants, allowing customers to order and then stay in their cars,”

Sadler

Dutton

he said. “Outdoor patios are also important as they allow customers to sit outside and social distance. “We’re seeing more physical barriers between customers and store employees at the point of sale, and we’ll see more spread out spaces carrying less inventory but displaying it in a manner that is visually more appealing and more appealing to the new traffic patterns in the store,” said Terry Root, senior vice president at Sage Capital Real Estate Investments. Retailers are blending in-store with online shopping to encourage customers to get in and out as efficiently as possible with a buy online and pick up in the store (BOPIS) option. More radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags will be used so customers can do some of their shopping via an app for contactless

Stakes are high to support local businesses Continued from page 22. affordability. RED Development’s property team highlighted new(er) businesses or tenants on the horizon, such as M Vince Nail Spa, PLNK Omaha and Pokeworks (One Pacific Place), Drybar, Lovesac and Apricot Lane (Regency). According to General Manager Alicia Peters, Village Pointe is welcoming 402 Eat + Drink and Urban Outfitters. “Back-to-school retailers are also important right now,” she said, listing American Eagle, Old Navy, Francesca’s, GAP, Buckle, Lucky Brand, Kendra Scott, Scheels, Tradehome Shoes and Athleta. Peters said ensuring that the public feels good about shopping and dining Schense is the priority, alongside supporting merchants as they reopen and innovate to reach their customers (via social media, information through new websites, offering curbside pickup and directional signage). Meghann Schense’s The Grove Juicery + Wellness Café is among those businesses injecting vitality into the 24th and Farnam streets area. “People really are understanding how hard-hit small businesses are and, perhaps, recognizing how they create and define our communities,” the creator, designer and owner said. “The idea of supporting local business has been broken down to survival basics. If you don't support what you love, there is a real possibility they won't be there when this is over. That realization has made consumer spending

more intentional.” She said the neighborhood and surrounding area’s businesses are “experiencing the same challenges and support.” The Grove was “in a good place” for such an unexpected, life-changing event with its online presence, digital platforms and channels; if anything, social media has only become a bigger force. “For us, our specific message of health and well-being has a whole new meaning to everyone now,” she said. “Everyone has had to take a hard look at their personal health and happiness.” The Grove is focusing on more seasonal, local and organic sources, and expanding the retail market with vendors in adaptogens, superfoods, Gibler supplements and CBD products. President Karen Gibler said that the Sarpy County Chamber of Commerce has welcomed almost a dozen new businesses since around late July. “We are seeing the parking lots full at Shadow Lake Towne Center and the stripmalls in the community,” she said. “The vibe of getting out and shopping local is strong.” The current challenge is hiring enough staff. “And, with schooling starting and teen sports back open, we will continue to look for additional workforce,” she said. Recent openings have spanned food concepts, a boutique, warehousing, car dealerships, and a building purchase for expansion.

sales and reducing physical encounters with salespeople, and to shop online or with the apps and come to the store only to pick up the orders. Shortly before the pandemic lockdown, non-traditional users — like gyms and health clubs — began Root moving into the online retail space, but that trend has slowed recently because many fitness centers are not able to do business as usual. Because of the continuing trend from brick and mortar to more e-commerce, which has benefited greatly from the pandemic, large retail centers are starting to reposition themselves as vacancies open up; for instance, putting medical offices, grocery stores, car dealerships, gyms and other

non-traditional mall users into retail malls and shopping centers. Some national mall owners in certain markets are considering leasing their big box stores that have gone dark as fulfillment centers for Amazon and other retailers. These changes will allow malls to create revenue from these former “dark” spaces, and mall owners hope to encourage more foot traffic as customers come to pick up their packages. There are also mall companies studying the idea of using some of these larger areas to provide warehousing and fulfillment solutions for their smaller retailers and pop-up shops. “We can expect to see more digital signage for in-store display, directions and way-finding within newly reorganized spaces, and we’ll see more contact-free technology,” Root said. “Retail stores won’t go away; they’ll evolve as the industry always has evolved. With new technologies, retail space may be used in different ways and designed to be more efficient while being visually appealing and encouraging customer interaction.”

Retail centers now tailoring design to fit consumer lifestyles beyond convenience by Dwain Hebda

Midlands shopping malls are relying on lifestyle amenities such as entertainment and progressive design to stay relevant in the marketplace. “The trend is definitely toward mixed-use developments,” said Kevin Hensel, president and CEO of the Greater Bellevue Area Chamber of Commerce. “People are interested in areas that allow them to live, work and play

in the same general area.” It’s been a tough few years for the retail shopping industry, as malls have scrambled to find ways to attract customers in the face of online options encroaching on market share. Just as malls began reconfiguring to include more entertainment and service options to turn the tide, the pandemic landed an existential gut punch to the industry. According to Continued on page 29.

Creating safe shopping experience has become necessity by Gabby Christensen

As retailers look to open their doors to the public, professionals say it’s increasingly critical that a safe environment is offered. Depending on the style of the retailer, many are offering a variety of methods to create a safe shopping environment, including private shopping blocks, requiring masks, virtual/video experiences, one-way MacKnight aisles and changes in operating hours, said Trey MacKnight, associate at The Lund Co. “For Example, Three Daughters Boutique in Lincoln has provided private blocks of time for their customers to visit the store without other patrons present,” he said. “This allowed for individuals to check out the merchandise rather than being dependent on 100% online sales.” Offering a safe experience for the owners, employees and customers allows retailers to remain open to the public. “With retailers open and practicing safe shopping experiences, it is supporting businesses that rely on the daily traffic needed to stay afloat,” MacKnight said. “It is important

to respect the methods of the individual retailers, as they are doing their part to provide a safe environment for the customer and their employees.” At Midwest Maintenance, President Mark Oldaker said the highest levels of disinfectant and sanitizing procedures are followed, but it’s also important that everyone works together to follow diligent health safeguards in public. Oldaker “We encourage businesses and employees to follow a number of cleaning protocols in addition to regular hand washing with soap and water,” he said. “One is to keep disinfecting wipes handy to wipe down workstations, equipment, meeting rooms and other communal spaces. Another is to increase the use of touch-reducing amenities such as motion sensor lights and no-touch trash cans.” Replacing HVAC filters and refreshing a building’s overall heating and cooling system improves the air quality and health of employees, customers and guests, too. “Every person who works in or visits an office, retail space, health care center, events center or other public building deserves to

Retail centers tailored to fit consumers’ lifestyles Continued from page 25. CoStar Group, which tracks real estate, mall occupancy rates nationally hit 94.4% in 2Q 2020, their lowest level in at least 10 years. Hensel said several developments in his community — namely Twin Creek located along 36th Street between Cornhusker Road and Highway 370 — offer a far more inclusive range of amenities than the malls of yesteryear. “Certainly, the goal with development is to find the Hensel right fit — company, location, price and timing,” he said. “[Combining] multi-family residential, shopping, theater and biking trails provides a variety of opportunities not only for residents of Twin Creek, but the area becomes a draw for the community.” The Mercantile, a new development currently being built in downtown Omaha, is the highest example of this design concept, which will feature apartment buildings, a boutique hotel and new office buildings. Upon completion it will cover over 20 acres of residential, commercial and green space. “Walkability is key to our success with the proximity of the Old Market, waterfront and new public spaces being built by the Riverfront Revitalization group,” said Brad Soderwall, managing director of Hines. “Successful retail also needs visibility to automobile traffic and convenient parking, and we have both with the extension of Harney Street and 8th Street. Plus, the first phase includes a new 700-car parking garage. The five-story building will include four levels of apartments above the retail space.” Soderwall said smart design accentuates

the area’s natural amenities for a one-of-akind ambiance. “The topography of the site provides great views of Heartland of America Park Lake and the Missouri River,” he said. “The architecture creates a prominence at the ground plane that retailers appreciate; residential units above are set back so retail storefronts capture the attention and focus of pedestrians and drivers.” Garry Clark, president and CEO of Clark Greater Fremont Development Council, said the city’s booming residential development activity has either spurred retail or built it right in. “One of our coolest projects which is under way is a downtown revitalization of a building that’s been dormant for about 20 years or so, called the Loft at 505,” he said. “It’s right in the heart of downtown Fremont. That is going to be about a 20-plus-unit housing project. There will be a brewery in the basement of this facility and also a main level, which may have have a dining restaurant space or some form of commercial business. “That is in the heart of Main Street and that is going to be a huge catalyst for retail stores we currently have there and to draw new ones.” Clark said the city’s existing Fremont Mall has benefited from reimagining itself as an entertainment hub, offering a theater, dining and gym. “We have a new sports company moving into the old JCPenney’s, which is a huge space in our mall,” he said. “That is going to be a resurgence in the mall that lost its main anchor.”

feel safe and at ease in the facility,” Oldaker said. “One person’s contagious illness can quickly spread and slow productivity and even close down a business. Or, as we’ve seen with COVID-19, send people to the hospital or cause deaths. To keep business surroundings healthful, we’ve strengthened our sanitation and disinfection services, including our Clorox Total 360 electrostatic sprayer and ULV (ultra low volume) fogger. Every time we disinfect a door handle, sanitize a lobby or deep-clean carpets, we are preventing illnesses and keeping America working.” To help create safe and clean indoor environments, Brandon Tenney, regional director at SOLID Surface Care, recommended increasing cleaning frequencies and adding disinfecting services. “Spaces that are fully or partially occupied should focus deep cleaning and disinfection to high-touchpoint areas, security checkpoints, lobbies and other areas where people tend to gather,” he said. “Unoccupied spaces that will be reopening in the near future should be deep cleaned and disinfected to ensure facility wellness and employee

well-being. When task chairs, upholstery, carpet, bathroom floors and every other surface looks clean and stain-free, the space feels safe and employees return feeling reassured.” Tenney said building and property managers can also take advantage of vacancies by scheduling restorative cleanings, surface maintenance and repairs before the doors reopen. “Electrostatic spraying is generally the most effective disinfecting approach,” he said. “Facilities professionals are also looking for more chemical-free approaches to disinfecting. UVC, or short wavelength ultraviolet light, is an emerging disinfecting technology that eliminates human error and cross-contamination.” According to Tenney, many people will feel some degree of fear and uncertainty as they come back into offices and other indoor environments. “Optics matter, and preparing a clean, disinfected space helps provide a safe experience for employees and visitors and peace of mind that their well-being is top priority,” he said. “When surfaces have not been properly cleaned and disinfected, spaces do not look and feel as healthy as environments that have been cared for.”
