Organizations also join growing list of eVisit co-development and advisory collaborators, strengthening the industry-leading platform recognized as “Best in KLAS” for virtual care

WASHINGTON, June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — eVisit, the leading enterprise virtual care transformation partner for innovative health systems, announced today the acquisition of UPMC’s inpatient teleconsult technology alongside strategic direct investments by UPMC Enterprises and MedStar Health, adding to its $45 million Series B fundraising led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management. The organizations will also respectively pursue co-development opportunities with eVisit and have representatives join eVisit’s Clinical Advisory Board.

UPMC Technology Acquisition and New Collaborations

UPMC Enterprises, the innovation, commercialization, and venture capital arm of UPMC, is entering an agreement for eVisit to acquire its inpatient teleconsult technology platform. The acquisition will considerably expand eVisit’s inpatient telehealth capabilities in facilitating quick, expert care, advancing its leadership in serving health systems across ambulatory and inpatient care settings.

Developed by UPMC in 2020, during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the teleconsult technology enables virtual clinical specialists to efficiently consult with bedside clinicians about inpatient care across five services: stroke, neurology, critical care, psychology, and toxicology. This teleconsult technology brings world-class clinical care to patients in even the most remote rural hospitals. Since its inception, 40,000 consults have been delivered via the teleconsult technology platform, resulting in a 92% decrease in wait times.

UPMC Enterprises Technology Services will also provide technology advisory expertise to eVisit. Andrew R. Watson, MD, UPMC Enterprises senior medical advisor and past president of the American Telemedicine Association, will join eVisit’s Clinical Advisory Board.

“Our guiding mission at UPMC Enterprises is to develop solutions to the clinical needs identified by the thousands of physicians at UPMC who provide lifesaving care to our patients,” said Brent Burns, executive vice president at UPMC Enterprises. “When we create something like the teleconsult technology that so brilliantly achieves that goal and becomes a vital part of our clinical operations, we look for partners who can help us make it available to clinicians and patients outside our walls. We’re excited to have found that partner in eVisit. Bringing these two technologies together creates a powerful end-to-end virtual care platform.”

MedStar Health Innovation Partnership Expansion 

Through its separate investment and agreements, MedStar Health builds upon a deep history of innovation and eVisit-related partnership. The leading healthcare provider in Maryland and the Washington, D.C., region has used eVisit-related technologies since 2018, first to support teletriage and provider-to-provider consultations, and later to enable scheduled telehealth visits starting in 2020.

MedStar Health also provides eVisit with ongoing clinical expertise, product development support, and go-to-market advisory services to advance enterprise telehealth solutions. Ethan Booker, MD, FACEP, chief medical officer for telehealth at MedStar Health, has been a leader in this work and now also newly joins the eVisit Clinical Advisory Board.

MedStar Health and eVisit share a longstanding commitment to supporting health equity and access. As another example, eVisit’s push-button access to interpreter services enables MedStar Health to quickly connect to dozens of languages. eVisit technology was also central to the design and scaling of the MedStar Health Connected Care transformation model that leverages novel workflows, new remote workforce, and telehealth and related technologies to deliver improved patient access and experience, clinician wellbeing, highest quality and safety, and financial sustainability. Most recently, MedStar Health has leveraged eVisit technology in successfully managing a regional infectious disease treatment hub.

“Our growing partnership with eVisit continues to redefine what is possible with care delivery powered by the best digital innovation and expertise,” said Bill Sheahan, chief innovation officer of MedStar Health and executive director of the MedStar Institute for Innovation. “As we expand our work together, we sharpen our focus on acute care to strengthen newer capabilities such as virtual nursing, while continually pushing past boundaries through bold new innovation and action across the continuum of care.” 

eVisit’s Community Approach

eVisit prioritizes and facilitates health system collaboration in order to best advance the future of care delivery and improve patient outcomes.

“We’ve built more than a technology platform at eVisit,” said Sachin Agrawal, CEO of eVisit. “This is a partnership and a growing community of health systems who are learning from each other and scaling their achievements to enhance care for their patient populations. The impact on large metropolitan areas like D.C., Pittsburgh, Dallas, Phoenix, New York, and Chicago is substantial, but it’s also felt in areas where someone might be 30 minutes away from their nearest emergency department or 2-3 hours away from a specialist. We’re honored to newly partner with UPMC and to further partner with MedStar Health as we pursue our mission to simplify healthcare delivery for everyone, everywhere.”

In HelloNation, Real Estate Expert Grace Frank Shares What to Know Before Relocating to Chattanooga

Published

on

By

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What should people consider before relocating to Chattanooga,TN? According to a HelloNation article, the move involves more than a change of address. Grace Frank of Grace Frank Group explains that housing options, schools, job opportunities, and lifestyle factors all play an important role in helping newcomers settle successfully in the city.

Housing is often the first decision to make. Chattanooga offers a wide range of real estate choices, from historic downtown homes to newer suburban subdivisions and rural properties with more space. Each option comes with trade-offs. Urban neighborhoods provide convenience and entertainment, suburban areas appeal to families with larger homes and school access, and rural living offers peace and quiet but may require longer commutes and fewer services.

Affordability is another factor that draws many people to the area. Compared to larger cities, Chattanooga’s housing prices and property taxes remain relatively moderate. Still, trends vary by neighborhood. Some areas near downtown are experiencing rapid growth and rising prices. Buyers and renters who study these patterns in advance are better able to match their budget with the right community.

For families, schools are central to the relocation decision. Hamilton County features public, private, and charter schools, each offering different strengths. Many families select neighborhoods based on school zones, while others consider private education or alternative programs. Reviewing school ratings, extracurricular options, and long-term academic opportunities helps ensure the best fit for children.

Employment opportunities also make Chattanooga an attractive place to move. The job market has been growing steadily, with strengths in logistics, healthcare, technology, and advanced manufacturing. Expansion from existing companies and new businesses entering the region have created stability in both housing and employment. Prospective residents, however, should review industry-specific opportunities to confirm their career goals align with local options.

Beyond housing, schools, and work, lifestyle factors help determine how well a move turns out. Chattanooga’s reputation as an outdoor destination is one of its strongest assets. Residents enjoy access to hiking trails, mountain biking, and water activities along the Tennessee River. The city also features cultural events, a thriving restaurant scene, and live music, making it appealing for those who want balance between work and recreation.

Planning the details of the move itself is just as important. A relocation checklist can simplify the process, including securing housing, transferring utilities, and registering vehicles. Those moving from out of state should also remember to update driver’s licenses, insurance, and voter registration. Attention to these details reduces stress and prevents unnecessary delays.

Local expertise can help make the transition smoother. A real estate professional who understands Chattanooga can guide newcomers through the city’s neighborhoods, school districts, and commuting options. Their insight can save time, prevent costly mistakes, and ensure that newcomers choose a location that fits both their practical needs and lifestyle goals.

Relocating to Chattanooga offers opportunities that combine affordability, career growth, and outdoor living. Families, retirees, and young professionals are all drawn to the area’s variety of neighborhoods, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. With careful planning, the move can be both seamless and rewarding.

What to Know Before Relocating to Chattanooga highlights the most important factors for a successful transition. This is according to Grace Frank, Real Estate Expert of Chattanooga, TN, who provides practical advice for those considering a move in HelloNation.

Hyperscale Data Subsidiary Ault Global Commodities Announces First Silver Purchase

Published

on

By

LAS VEGAS, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), an artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center company anchored by Bitcoin (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Ault Global Commodities, Inc. (“AGC”) has completed its first purchase of physical silver, acquiring 10,000 ounces of .999 fine silver bullion. The transaction was executed through AGC’s strategic partner, Scottsdale Mint, LLLP, a leading private mint specializing in high-quality investment grade precious metals with which AGC has entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Agreement”).

This initial acquisition of silver under the Agreement marks the official launch of the Company’s precious metals strategy and represents a key step in the Company’s broader initiative to build a diversified commodities portfolio alongside its existing digital asset and AI operations, as well as its contemplated robotics plans, each as disclosed in prior press releases.

“This initial silver purchase represents more than merely an entry into precious metals; it reflects the continued evolution of the Company’s balance sheet,” stated Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data. “With more than $350 million in assets, including cash and Bitcoin, we are deliberately building a diversified balance sheet designed to endure across market cycles. We believe Bitcoin and precious metals will serve as foundational pillars of that strategy, combining the asymmetric upside of digital assets with the proven stability of hard commodities. As we continue to deploy capital, our objective is clear: Strengthen our asset base, expand our global portfolio of companies, and position Hyperscale Data to create long-term value through disciplined, opportunistic capital allocation.”

The Company expects AGC to make additional purchases in the future as it continues to scale its operations in the broader commodities sector.

For more information on Hyperscale Data and its subsidiaries, Hyperscale Data recommends that stockholders, investors and any other interested parties read Hyperscale Data’s public filings and press releases available under the Investor Relations section at hyperscaledata.com or available at www.sec.gov.

About Hyperscale Data, Inc.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data’s other wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Capital Group, Inc. (“ACG”), is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.

Hyperscale Data currently expects the divestiture of ACG (the “Divestiture”) to occur in the second quarter of 2027. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would be an owner and operator of data centers to support high-performance computing services, as well as a holder of the digital assets. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data’s headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the “ACG Shares”). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be shareholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.

In HelloNation, Financial Advisor Jennifer Prosise of Joliet, IL Breaks Down When to Start Financial Planning

Published

on

By

JOLIET, Ill., April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — When is the right time to begin financial planning? A recent HelloNation article featuring Financial Advisor Jennifer Prosise of The Voyager Group, Ltd. in Joliet, IL, explores why early financial planning can create lasting advantages, especially during key life transitions.

 

The article challenges the common belief that financial planning only becomes necessary later in life. According to the feature, waiting until retirement planning is urgent can limit flexibility and options. By starting earlier, individuals can make gradual adjustments that align with long-term goals and reduce financial stress over time.

Jennifer Prosise explains that financial planning is most effective when it starts at the moment questions begin to surface. The article notes that planning isn’t tied to age, but to life events, such as a career change, starting a family, or returning to school. These life transitions often reshape responsibilities and future priorities, making early financial planning both timely and practical.

One of the most valuable aspects of early financial planning is habit-building. The article emphasizes how small choices about income and savings, spending, or borrowing compound over time. Establishing a structure early creates momentum and makes it easier to adapt when circumstances shift.

Career changes are a key opportunity to begin planning. With changes in income, benefits, and risk, the article advises individuals to assess how income and savings can work together more efficiently. A financial advisor can help clarify goals and offer structure during times of professional change.

For growing families, financial planning provides support when expenses increase and new needs emerge. The article points out that early planning can balance short-term decisions with long-term goals like education costs, housing needs, or lifestyle flexibility. Financial clarity during these moments reduces uncertainty and helps families prioritize with confidence.

The article also highlights how education decisions, such as starting or returning to college, can benefit from early financial planning. Loans, tuition, and long-term earnings potential all come into play. Planning in advance helps individuals evaluate tradeoffs and avoid reactive decisions that may lead to unnecessary debt.

Entrepreneurs and small business owners also find value in starting early. Business ventures bring both opportunities and risks, and financial planning helps manage both. With income fluctuations and investment decisions to weigh, early structure ensures that personal and professional goals remain aligned.

The article explains that early financial planning also creates space for gradual change. Instead of making large corrections later in life, people can make smaller, more sustainable adjustments. This flexibility supports retirement planning over a longer horizon and builds resilience during financial shifts.

Jennifer Prosise also points out the emotional benefits of planning early. With a framework in place, people are less likely to feel overwhelmed during uncertain times. Financial planning reduces confusion and allows for steady progress toward long-term goals.

When It Makes Sense to Start Financial Planning features insights from Jennifer Prosise, Financial Advisor of Joliet, IL, in HelloNation.
