Interim HealthCare Announces 2019 “Nurse Of The Year”

SUNRISE, FL – Interim HealthCare Inc., a leading national franchisor of home care, hospice and healthcare staffing, today announced Rakel Nussbaumer as its 2019 Nurse of the Year. Rakel works as a registered nurse for Interim HealthCare of Clovis, New Mexico, bringing comfort and care to her patients and their families. The “Interim HealthCare Nurse of the Year” is awarded annually during National Nurses Week, which begins May 6 and ends May 12, on Florence Nightingale’s birthday.
“It takes a truly remarkable person to give of themselves the way that Rakel has to her patients, their families and the local community she serves,” said Jennifer Sheets, Interim HealthCare Inc. President and CEO. “Nurses aren’t always aware of the significant impact they can have on patients and their families. We want Rakel, as well as all the other Interim HealthCare nurses and care professionals, to know that the work they do empowers people to live a more enriched, safe and independent life, and we thank you for all your contributions.”
Rakel began her career with Interim HealthCare in 2006 as a field nurse and grew into her current role as director of healthcare services for the Clovis franchise. Her role allows her to go beyond caregiving and support a team of clinicians. In the last year, Rakel designed and implemented a recognition board for all staff members, creating a space to recognize individual’s accomplishments and encourage team-wide support. This has boosted morale and appreciation for one another among the caregiver team.
“I’m so grateful to have chosen a career that allows me to impact so many lives in my community. I am honored to be recognized as Interim HealthCare’s Nurse of the Year,” said Rakel. “Caring for people is a true calling for me, and I’ve been lucky to do meaningful and impactful work for my patients and for my colleagues.”
“Nursing can be a taxing yet extremely rewarding career, and as the U.S. population ages, we need more great caregivers like Rakel to improve the lives of our patients, clients and their families,” said Sheets. “While the public recognition is well-deserved, the positive impact our nurses make day in and day out is immeasurable.”

Cherry Blow Dry Bar Experiences Rapid Growth In 2018

CHERRY HILL, N.J. – Cherry Blow Dry Bar – an expanding franchise that provides premium express services including blowouts, hair extensions, makeup services and treatments – celebrates a remarkable year of brand growth with a 44 percent growth rate in 2018.
Launched in 2013 and franchising since 2015, the brand has 18 total locations across seven states, about half of the salons opened in 2018 alone. Further, the affordable-glamorous brand opened eight new locations this year and entered new markets, including Georgia, Texas, and Louisiana, expanding its presence into the Southern states of the United States. In addition to the openings, the brand signed 11 franchise development deals calling for a total of 65 additional units – one deal was signed with a development group in Southern California calling 50 locations in the next several years to come.
“This year has been full of growth for Cherry Blow Dry Bar,” expressed Fred Vicario, CEO of Cherry Blow Dry Bar. “Since launching our franchising opportunity, 2018 has been one of our best years on record. The new salon openings and multi-unit development deals we signed will play a vital role in propelling the brand forward over the next several years.”
Plans for the first quarter of 2019 show that the company has no plans of slowing down as approximately four new salons are slated to open. In the New Year, the brand estimates to have 20 new salons open and operating all while continuously signing new franchisees.
Cherry Blow Dry Bar offers blowouts for hair of any length starting at about $40. Customers can pick and choose from the salon’s styling menu which includes nine different hairstyles – from updos and beachy waves to braids and voluminous curls. Salons offer three types of memberships, starting at about $59.99 for two monthly blowouts.
Although Cherry Blow Dry Bar primarily focuses on blowouts, other beauty services such as hair extensions, treatments, makeup application and even scalp massages are also offered.
“While growing our footprint nationally has been the goal since we launched our franchise opportunity – our main priority is to create a place that women will use as their go-to salon for blowouts and makeup services,” noted Vicario. “Cherry Blow Dry Bar exists to provide a welcoming environment for guests to come and receive glamorous services with long-lasting results at affordable prices. Our success and growth would not have been feasible without our dedicated team members and incredible franchisees.”
To augment the company’s growth, Vicario is looking for franchisee partners who have a passion for customer service and have a strong business acumen. Including a franchise fee of $39,000 the initial investment to open a Cherry Blow Dry Bar franchise is between $235,000-350,000.
Today, there are 18 salons open and operating in seven states – Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Louisiana and Virginia – with nearly 80 more under various stages of development throughout the country.
