DIQBD is easily cured with a simple remedy that Game Friendzy & Bridge Center is offering free of charge. Play a game. Halt the progression of SDIQBD by focusing your bored brain cells on learning a new skill, like how to play a game you haven’t played before. The Cherry Hill game center, like most businesses, is doing its part by closing temporarily, but the staff is industriously working to come up with fun ideas to help pass the time and engage your brain in the safety of your own home. “We’ve been busy creating new ways for our friends and customers to stay entertained in these strange days of social isolation,” says Game Friendzy owner Bernadette Hennessy May. “We can’t wait until the day we can invite everyone back to the Center, but, until then, we’ve made it our mission to supply alternatives for in-home fun.”
One of the newest options is a series of free instructional mini videos for beginners on how to play mah jongg, canasta, and solitaire. On deck over the coming weeks are videos on pinochle, bridge, and chess. If you’ve always wanted to explore these classic games, now is your chance. The videos feature an introduction to the basics of each of these popular games and can be found on the Game Friendzy website (www. gamefriendzy.com) and Facebook page (www.facebook. com/gamefriedzy). Learn about the Charleston in maj jongg, why too many aces can be a bad thing in canasta, royal marriages in pinochle, the secret language of bidding in bridge, the order of card play in solitaire, and the movement patterns of knights and pals in chess. You can watch the videos at your own pace as many times as you like.

COVID - 19 UPDATE At Inspira, Patients and Staff Come First
Paul M. Lambrecht, MJ, MHA, CPHQ, CPPS, FACHE, Vice President Quality and Patient Safety, Inspira Health This COVID-19 pandemic is a battle Inspira is waging on two fronts—using our know-how today to implement new therapies to care for our patients and also how to plan for the surge of patients that the predictive models tell us could be arriving at our emergency departments in the days ahead. How is Inspira preparing for the surge? The timing of when the largest number of patients arrive at our hospitals depends on how many of us continue to practice social distancing, handwashing and wearing face masks. Using a model shared with all hospitals by the University of Pennsylvania, we know our worst-case scenario and our best-case scenario. We spend many hours of every day preparing for that worst-case scenario. It is our intention to double the number of beds that we currently operate. We know that most of our hospital rooms are big enough to hold two patients. We know that we can take care of patients on the unfinished third floor of Inspira Medical Center Vineland, if necessary. And, we have bed space in our surgical suites because we are not performing elective surgeries. With the full support of our Board of Trustees to spend whatever is necessary, we are successfully growing our inventory of the Personal Protective Equipment (masks, gowns, plastic shields, etc.) and other resources we will need. For staffing, we are training nurses from our closed outpatient services, and doctors’ offices to care for our patients. We’ve asked our recently retired nurses to return. We are acting upon every option to add to our staffing. What new ways is Inspira taking care of patients today? Inspira Health, along with our physicians, Benjamin Negin, MD, David Kaufmann, MD, and Tami Bach, MD, jumped on an opportunity to join a clinical trial with the lead institution, The Mayo Clinic. The study involves using plasma donated by recovered COVID-19 patients to treat inpatients with severe or life-threatening COVID-19. As noted on the Mayo Clinic website, “It's not yet known by which mechanism COVID-19 antibodies might work, but the thinking is that an infusion of convalescent plasma may boost a generalized response, known as passive immunity, until a patient develops a strong, targeted ability to fight the virus.” We have been treating our high-risk COVID-19 patients with a drug that has just been identified by physicians worldwide as the most effective COVID-19 medication—hydroxychloroquine.
This drug, more than 50 years old, has been most commonly used to treat arthritis, rheumatic conditions, and even malaria. Early on, our pharmacists learned that this drug was helping the COVID-19 patients in China. They then acted quickly to secure enough doses in anticipation of our patients’ needs. Also, on the pharmacy front, within 24 hours of the FDA granting pharmacists temporary permission to produce alcohol-based hand sanitizer, a plan was set in motion at Inspira. Nurses working a 12-hour shift will likely need to clean their hands more than 100 times. With the commercial sources now limited, our pharmacy team is targeted to produce 50 percent--or more-- of the hand sanitizer used at Inspira. Once again, Inspira shows our ability to swiftly, and innovatively, respond to this pandemic’s unexpected tests. We have always known the power of healing with loved ones at our patients’ bedsides. Now it isn’t safe to allow visitors. As one way to help our patients stay connected to family and friends via Facebook Messenger and Skype, we have iPads for them to borrow. They are handed to our patients with a disposable plastic sleeve. What can I do to show my support for Inspira? We are so grateful for the donations of supplies and food for our staff. Here’s another way for everyone to express your gratitude: place a blue heart – an icon that is simple and easy to make, yet clearly defined and recognizable – in your window as a way to express your gratitude for health care workers on the frontline. Be sure to take photos or videos of your blue hearts and share on your social platforms using the hashtag #BlueHeartsForHeroes to recognize the bravery of front-line staff and their unwavering commitment to protecting the local community. The heart can be made from anything – construction paper, tape, paint, scrubs – as long as it’s blue and in the shape of a heart. Want your COVID-19 questions answered by Inspira? Visit our website or call 1-800-772-2848, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays.

Formerly known as Wholesale Mattress Warehouse
o Bull Mattress & More truly is the little guy the big guys hope you don’t find. That is their motto, and there may not be a more fitting one for any business anywhere. Located in a little warehouse next to Dunkin’ Donuts at 2060 Springdale Road in Cherry Hill, take one step inside the front door and you will instantly realize it is unlike any mattress store you have ever been in. Imagine walking into a discount store and finding every item marked down lower than it has ever been marked down before. That is what it is like in their warehouse every minute of every day. Carole Cutry is the owner and sole operator. With no employees, virtually no paid advertising and operating out of a warehouse rather than a big expensive showroom, she simply does not have the overhead that all the others have and can therefore hit lower price points. How much lower you ask?
Shockingly, every mattress in her warehouse is 55 percent to 80 percent lower than regular store prices. Not only has she taken all of the overhead out of buying a mattress, she also eliminated the deceptive advertising, phony sales and high pressure sales tactics that are unfortunately all too common nowadays. “My goal is for my customers to have fun buying a mattress,” Cutry says. “And if they are able to come here and find lower prices than they will ever see them any place else ever again, every minute of every day, and not have to haggle for those prices, that is a fun buying experience. I want every person that walks out of here to have a smile on their face. We want to be a breath of fresh air in the marketplace.” Saving every customer 55 percent to 80 percent every minute of every day in a no haggle, no hassle, no pressure environ-

Hope Lodge Offers Free Housing to Coronavirus Health Care Workers
n an announcement made on April 3rd, the American Cancer Society will be repurposing its Hope Lodge facilities across the US to offer free housing to health care workers on the front lines of the coronavirus fight. Rooms will be available through partnering health care systems. “We are grateful for the opportunity to help the health care community as we all continue to adapt to keep pace with the escalating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Gary Reedy, CEO at the American Cancer Society. On March 27th, ACS made the extremely difficult decision to suspend Hope Lodge operations due to the growth of the pandemic. The organization could no longer ensure the health and safety of its immune-

compromised cancer patient residents, nor of its volunteers and staff. More than 30 facilities across the country were forced to close. With the suspension of the Hope Lodge program, ACS now has rooms that can provide respite for frontline healthcare workers for rest between shifts or if returning home is too difficult. The growing reality is that many health care workers are unable to return home each night due to long shifts and fear of exposing their families to the COVID-19 virus. In 2019, the American Cancer Society network of Hope Lodge facilities, which include 1,174 rooms, provided 500,000 nights of free lodging to more than 29,000 patients and caregivers. In addition to shift in the Hope Lodge program, the or-
ganization also suspended all events through the middle of May including many local South Jersey Relay For Life events and its annual Hope Gala. Staff and volunteers are actively working to make new arrangements. It is recommended that participants check their local event websites and contact the ACS staff partners for more details. Cancer hasn’t stopped, so neither has the American Cancer Society. During this unprecedented time, it remains committed to the needs of cancer patients, who are more vulnerable than ever in the face of COVID19. The organization continues to provide help and resources to patients and their families through the 24/7 helpline (800227-2345) and cancer.org. ■
