COVERAGE YO I

n the complex world of health insurance, USHealth Advisors pride themselves on offering customers an exceptional buying experience. They are licensed and trusted agents who must meet specific product training and certification standards before being authorized to represent the company USHealth Group line of products. Becky Brown, field sales leader, and her team are licensed agents who represent USHealth Advisors within the Tulsa metropolitan area and throughout Oklahoma. Becky is licensed in 14 states and has offices in Tulsa and Texas.

Being a people person, Becky loves helping people and takes her company’s motto “H.O.P.E.” to heart. H.O.P.E. stands for: Helping Other People Everyday. “Our commitment to personal attention has made USHEALTH Advisors a recognized world leader for business growth, innovation and customer care. Every day, we help more and more individuals, families and business owners fulfill their health coverage needs,” said Becky.

When it comes to Specified Disease/Sickness and Accident coverage, she understands that every customer has different needs. “We believe in choice, and we believe our customers truly value the array of options we provide as they choose the protection that is most Left: Becky Brown is the field sales leader for the Tulsa office - James Schmitt Division.

OU CAN COUNT ON appropriate for them. To that end, we have developed many kinds of coverage’s that promote customer choice,” explains Becky.

“We are flexible, affordable and secure. Our full portfolio of plans lets you tailor coverage to YOUR needs, and you can rest easy knowing that, we are an innovator in the industry with over 50 collective years of health coverage experience. Some people say our

plans are ‘Too good to be true,’ they are every bit true.”

For those customers who are either on a limited budget or are concerned about having to satisfy a high annual deductible before they receive any benefits from their health plans, the company offers some products which provide first-dollar benefits for covered services and substantial network discounts across a broad spectrum of providers.

These plans are typically more affordable than more comprehensive plans, while still providing the first dollar protection and assurances that a limited protection plan offers.

For instance, “In the event you need additional protection, the purchase of PremierChoice Specified Disease/ Sickness Plan*, Accident* and the Optional Guaranteed Short Term Insurability Rider* provides you with a onetime right to purchase our PremierMed Short Term Medical-Surgical Expense Plan* without any additional medical underwriting,” Becky stated.

“Our PremierChoice Specified Disease/ Sickness and Accident Plans* allow you to receive first dollar payments for expenses incurred up to a benefit maximum for covered health care services.

And with the special doctor office visit “rollover”* feature in each Specified Disease/ Sickness and Accident Plan, if

you don’t use your benefits, you don’t lose them.”

No matter which type of health coverage you choose, they want to help their customers enhance their protection. They feature a full line of ancillary products, including Health and Wellness*, Critical Illness*, Specified Disease/Sickness*, Accident*, Short Term Accident Disability Income*, Income Protector*, Term Life Insurance*, Dental and Vision Plans*.

In a marketplace characterized by high customer turnover and low customer loyalty, Becky emphasizes, “Our team differentiates ourselves from others by creating long-term relationships with our customers, and we consistently deliver on our promise of dependability, personal attention and customer care. Please don’t let others tell you what you need or pay for coverage that isn’t right for you.

Tell me what you are looking for, and I will work to put together the right policy tailored specifically for you. As your future conditions change, we can add to your original plan.”

Raising the Bar: New Management at Bob Moore Service Center

BY MACY GOODNIGHT

B

ob Moore Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Tulsa is well-known for their longevity and customer service as a family-owned auto group in Oklahoma. Located at 4627 S. Memorial Drive, their salesmanship is unsurpassed, as is their highest-level quality service center.

In March, the service center leveled up in the excellence they provide their customers with the introduction of new management. Service manager, Cliff Koger recently took the reins and is excited to share an even greater service experience at Bob Moore. He brings with him over 35 years of experience in the industry, as well as his most trusted Lead Advisor, Mackenzie Rice.

“Mackenzie has a big following, and everyone loves and trusts her,” said Cliff. “Together, our priority is just taking care of the customers.” The philosophy at Bob Moore is that happy employees provide greater customer service. “We focus on the care of our employees, and they’ll take care of the customers,” said Cliff. “Everything else just falls into place.”

Bob Moore customers will find that the level of exceptional service is unchanged but improved. One new element is the inclusion of in-house availability of genuine MOPAR parts and accessories for most vehicles, including Jeep and high-performance cars and trucks. Running boards, lift kits, tires, wheels, and all types of accessories will be available on-site, rather than needing to be ordered in. This provision will Left Top: Cliff Koger, service manager, believes honesty and quality work is everything.

enable such benefits as in-house financing with accessories included in vehicle purchases, and warranties on all accessories and parts purchased from Bob Moore. MOPAR provides authentic OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts, as well as accessories that enable customer desired customization. The added benefit to having the parts on-site will allow greater accessibility for their customers, with competitive pricing.

Also coming to the Bob Moore

Service Center will be added technicians, to ensure the fastest and most efficient service time. “We know the most important thing for everyone is time,” Cliff said, “so we’re going to add more techs that we need to make sure our customers get their vehicle back quickly.”

With spring, ensuring cars and trucks are in peak condition is key with the season’s temperamental weather. “You’ll want to make sure your AC system is ready,” said Cliff.

Churches Moving Online

BY CHRIS PUTMAN

I

n the midst of schools, churches, and every organization that can move online has, one Broken Arrow-based organization wants to continue to keep a close connection with its people. While many churches have moved their services online, one pastor wants a more intimate setting than a typical sermon in the pulpit. Pastor Chris Buskirk of Abiding Harvest Church knows many of his people are dealing with their world being turned upside down: kids home from school, a lay off from work, shortages at the stores, and shortages in the wallet. Buskirk pastors a close-knit church family, and his heart goes out to them during this unsettling time.

To remedy this issue, Buskirk is staying in touch with his people through online technology. Instead of transmitting a livestream message from the pulpit in an otherwise empty building, he instead is going to broadcast his Sunday morning message from the church library in a fireside chat format. He will deliver a message of encouragement and then hear from his people in real time. He will open the online channel for a Q&A session and comments from the live audience.

In addition, for as long as the quarantine lasts, he will send a

24 |

message to his flock daily to lift their spirits during a difficult time.

This will take the format of a simple message of encouragement, a Bible study and even a panel discussion.

“For 2000 years, the experience of the church has focused on people gathering to tangibly share what unites them in Spirit,” Buskirk said.

“Hebrews even commands it. At first, virtual connections seemed to undermine that tradition. More recently, churches have adopted the internet to supplement their ministries. Now it looks like the only option, or at least the safest of ways, to connect and do our part to thwart the spread of this potentially deadly virus. Today, I’m thanking God for it. We will use it to keep doing and being a church.”

Although the parishioners will miss their face-to-face engagement with each other, they won’t miss it with their pastor in this online environment.

“I appreciate our church always being focused on community and relationships,” ORU Professor of Media & Communications Dr. Even Culp said. “In these challenging times, it presents an opportunity to continue those relationships through different methods. I appreciate that during this online season, I have an opportunity to stay

connected with my church and still follow the CDC guidelines.”

Abiding Harvest Church is located at 4407 S. Olive Ave. in Broken Arrow, on South Olive between 111th and 101st Street, and Sunday morning service will be held via Facebook Live at 10:30 a.m. The church’s Facebook page is found at Abiding Harvest UMC.

perfectly complement your wee one.

“Right now, we have a huge selection of spring dresses, with warmer weather coming up,” said Cari Bohannan, owner of The District Baby and its sister boutique, The District on Main.

“Among some of the most popular clothing lines we carry are YoBaby, which is for girls only, and Mayoral,

which offers collections for girls, boys and even babies, available in a large assortment of colors, prints and designs.

“Another one of the most popular brands we carry is RuffleButts – those are for the little girls, and their sister or rather, brother brand, are RuggedButts,

for the little boys,” Bohannan said.

“Both of these (brands) have proven extremely popular with moms for their children, and we have items in from their spring 2020 line – with girls’ spring clothes, dresses, bloomers, ruffled shorts, swim tops and rompers, as well as baby, toddler and boys’ dress-up attire including button-down and polo shirts, chino pants and shorts, rompers, bowties and much more.”

Another always-popular brand, according to Bohannan, is Kickee Pants, an infant and toddler line of sleepwear and apparel line based on the idea that children should feel unrestricted by their clothing, even when they are dressed up.

And don’t forget their feet, as Native Shoes have proven among The District Baby’s more popular brand of footwear, offering comfortable and ultra-light shoes for the smallest of feet.

“One of the newer brands we carry are Me & Henry, which is a little boys clothing line, and Vignette, which are for girls,” she said. “These are sister companies, so oftentimes, there are coordinating outfits which are ideal for brothers and sisters – that’s actually a huge trend right now – people wanting their children to match, and many of the brands we carry offer coordinating or complementary outfits for little boys and girls.”

If you have symptoms, or have been in contact with a lab-confirmed case of COVID-19, the CDC recommendations are to make every effort to interview by telephone, text monitoring system, or video conference. (Temperature monitoring could be reported by phone or shown to a provider via video conferencing.)

Symptoms: fever (chills and sweats), cough, shortness of breath. (Sometimes sore throat, achiness, and diarrhea can precede the typical symptoms of the illness.) If you have any of these symptoms, stay home and contact your provider.

Mildly ill patients should be encouraged to stay home and contact their healthcare provider by phone for guidance about clinical management. Patients who have severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, should seek care immediately. Older patients and individuals who have underlying medical conditions or are immunocompromised should contact their physician early in the course of even mild illness.

For patients with appointments, we ask you to remain in your car until we call or text you to come inside. In this way we can minimize your wait time and get you into a room promptly. Please be patient as we are likely to be very busy with patients over the coming weeks and months.

Once testing becomes available, we can arrange to conduct testing in a drive through fashion if necessary to minimize cross contamination between infectious and noninfectious persons. COVID-19 tests are offered at cost for uninsured patients at $67. If the patient meets CDC criteria for free testing we will send for that instead. Right now, we are testing patients in priority fashion according to the CDC: 1. Hospitalized patients who have signs and symptoms compatible with COVID-19 in order to inform decisions related to infection control.

2. Other symptomatic individuals such as, older adults and individuals with chronic medical conditions and/or an immune-compromised state that may put them at higher risk for poor outcomes (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, receiving immunosuppressive medications, chronic lung disease, chronic kidney disease.

3. Any persons including healthcare personnel, who within 14 days of symptom onset had close contact with a suspect or laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patient, or who have a history of travel from affected geographic areas within 14 days of their symptom onset.

The award-winning actress gravitated towards performing early In Life. She took ballet lessons from the age of four, but It was her first speaking role in a school play which sparked her Interest In acting.

“I would have been about 10 or11,” she recalls.

I did my first play and got my first laugh. I remember hearing 300 people who were in the school hall laugh out loud and I thought, This Is brilliant to be able to bring Joy to people!” She goes on to say, “When I started using my voice, I realized the power of narration. I became addicted to telling stories -Initially It was with my body through dance and then I discovered my voice.”

After finishing high school, she studied at the University of New South Wales for two years, majoring in theatre and film, before being accepted Imo the Victorian College of the Arts.

Soon after graduating In 1996, she received her big break In Bruce Baresford’s “Paradise Road”, acting opposite Glenn Close, Frances McDormand and Cate Blanchett.

Since then she has worked extensively in theatre, film and television. Her film credits Include the critically acclaimed Praise, Innocence end Burning Man. On the smell screen, Marta has starred as Detective Sam Lawson in six Blackjack movies made for television. Her other TV credits Include “Hell Has Harbour Views”, the award-winning miniseries “After the Deluge”, “Crownies” and most recently the “Jack Irish” series opposite Guy Pearce.

Regarded as one of Australia’s best stage actors, she was one of 12 actors who, In 2005, were offered exclusive contracts by the Sydney Theater Company to form “The Actors Company.”

During her three years with the Sydney Theatre Company, she appeared In “The War of the Roses”, which won her a Helpman Award for Best Supporting Actress In 2009; “Serpent’s Teeth”, “Mother Courage” and Banie Kosky’s eight hour “The Lost Echo”, where she played a spider among other things.

Her other notable theatre credits Include Melbourne Theatre Company’s “Three Sisters” and “The Baloon”.

With a career spanning more than two decades, her resume is teeming with highlights, but she counts her theatre credits as her most memorable. “Playing to an audience Is exhilarating and dangerous, one of the truest forms of human contact you have,” she says.

However, she’s relishing the opportunity of sinking her teeth into a complex character she can develop over the course of a series.

“That’s the beauty of television; you have the opportunity to explore an amazing character over however many episodes and you don’t get that with a play,” she says. “Right now I’m In heaven. This Is something I used to dream or.”

Marta, just turned 40 and is married to actordirector Ben Winspear, whom she met 10 years ago when they were both working at the Sydney Theatre Company. They reside In Sydney with their two daughters. When she’s not acting, Marta enjoys spending time with her family.

Since we last published our newsletter back in 2016, RSU Public TV is on a role. The station has won two Emmy’s, both in 2017, and we secured our broadcast future by purchasing a new antenna and transmitter. Our old Table transmitter was 20 years old and at end of life. We worked with the FCC to have them pay 90% of the cost. This means the next 20 plus years RSU Public TV will remain on the air and ready for the next round of new technology.
