 Owosso, MI, February 20, 2023 --(PR.com)-- In partnership with AwareNow Media, Memorial Healthcare Institute for Neuroscience is pioneering a new level in patient-centered care. With AwareNow Health Streams, the Institute for Neuroscience at Memorial Healthcare is closing the gap between the patient and the provider while setting a new standard in care.
Memorial Healthcare Institute for Neuroscience shared, “Beyond a diagnosis, policies and protocols, we see our patients as a ‘person’ first and foremost.” Patients can quickly feel isolated onsite at a center for care while waiting for a care provider. During long waits for acute care or extended stays for chronic conditions, AwareNow Health Streams (www.awarenowhealthstreams.com) provides patients with a feeling of human connection in the form of human stories. Presented by AwareNow Media, AwareNow Health Streams are playlists of personal stories and exclusive interviews, designed to help patients feel seen and heard with real stories from real people about the causes that tie us all together. "At the core of clinical care, there is a human heartbeat. AwareNow stories embody the pulse of patients. As a patient myself, with a story of my own, seeing the stories of others gives me comfort and confidence for dealing with my own diagnosis," says Allié McGuire, Co-Founder of AwareNow Media and Editor-in-Chief of AwareNow Magazine. Developed to improve the patient experience through storytelling, AwareNow Health Streams is a digital display that helps patients feel seen in the stories of others and heard with an invitation to share a story of their own. Captivating images with story titles and descriptions are displayed with a QR code giving patients instant access to the rich media published in AwareNow Magazine, a publication dedicated to raising awareness for causes one story at a time. To engage and comfort patients, Memorial Healthcare Institute for Neuroscience is the first to offer AwareNow Health Streams in their public waiting room and in all 24 private patient rooms in their state-of-the-art facility. ### About Memorial Healthcare’s Institute for Neuroscience At the Memorial Healthcare Institute for Neuroscience, we are passionate about delivering the very best care possible and take the time to understand each patient’s unique diagnosis and needs.

In July of 2015, LeBron shared the following: “Matthew inspired us at Nike to be able to bring something special that will not only be for himself but also for the masses. The shoe and the inspiration he gave us is going to go way beyond Nike, Matthew and myself. I am very honored and blessed that my shoe is part of the whole process. This is an unbelievable story, and Nike has done a great job of being able to create something that’s so incredible and will last a lifetime.”
When Matthew appeared as a guest on the Drew Barrymore Show, Drew proudly made the announcement that the Cerebral Palsy Foundation would be honoring him with a 2021 National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day Award.

The general public is encouraged and invited to nominate their heroes on the Awareness Ties website: www.awarenessties.us/heroes By joining in this initiative, our everyday heroes will be honored by everyday citizens. We invite every man, woman and child to be part of a national movement to express our collective gratitude with ‘The Hero Edition’. What exactly is an ‘everyday hero’? As everyday roles are being redefined one story at a time, so is the definition of ‘everyday hero’. Parents are now interim teachers. Teachers have become technology officers. From the front lines in our hospitals to the grocery lines in our supermarkets, those who go above and beyond in the service of others will be recognized. “Never in human history have we been hit by something at this scale where every single person is affected. Everyone is feeling this in one way or another,” commented Dr. Leeda Rashid, a front line doctor based in San Francisco. With the inspiring story she shares, she’ll be featured as a hero on the edition’s cover. In the ‘The Hero Edition’ of AwareNow, uploaded stories will be told and shared in an interactive Issuu™ publication with embedded videos and clickable links. In this way, we together can show and share our appreciation for the extraordinary efforts of these everyday heroes. “The way we think of heroes has shifted dramatically in such a short time. Some of the very jobs and people we took for granted only weeks ago are now the only ones holding the nation together. In such a vastly dark and uncertain time, we wanted to do our part and shine a light on all the positives, sharing these selfless acts so we never forget those who sacrificed,” Jack McGuire, Co-Founder, Awareness Ties.
