Keystone Clinic & Surgery (Keystone Medical) is sharing practical guidance to help employers, employment agents, and newly arrived workers complete required medical examinations with fewer delays and repeat visits.

Singapore, 20th Dec 2025 — Keystone Clinic & Surgery (Keystone Medical) is sharing practical guidance to help employers, employment agents, and newly arrived workers complete required medical examinations with fewer delays and repeat visits. A Medical check up for work permit is often routine, but avoidable issues such as missing documents, unclear test steps, or mismatched particulars can create unnecessary bottlenecks.

As a community Health screening clinic, Keystone Medical aims to improve clarity around what is required on the day, what the examination is designed to assess, and how results are handled. Keystone Medical also noted that it supports eligible Singapore Citizens under CHAS subsidies for covered primary care services, while clarifying that CHAS eligibility and benefits are separate from Work Permit medical examination requirements.

Why Timely Completion Matters

Work Permit medical examinations are part of a process meant to confirm a worker is fit to work and to screen for specific infectious diseases. Employers are responsible for ensuring that medical requirements are completed within the required timeframe. When scheduling is tight and large groups arrive at once, delays are more likely to occur if paperwork and identity checks are not handled early.

Timely completion helps employers meet administrative timelines and helps workers begin work and settle in with fewer disruptions. It also reduces the risk of repeat visits due to incomplete forms or missed steps.

What The Examination Is Intended To Cover

The Work Permit medical examination is designed to screen for key infectious diseases and to include a general fitness-to-work assessment. The standard process commonly includes registration and identity verification, a clinical review by a Singapore-registered doctor, and tests that may include blood tests, urine tests, and chest imaging, depending on the required form and the worker’s category.

Because the required form and test steps matter, employers and agents should confirm the correct documents and test pathway before workers arrive. Clear instructions reduce confusion for workers who may be navigating a new environment, new transport routes, and unfamiliar clinic procedures.

Where Delays Usually Happen

Keystone Medical observes that most delays are administrative rather than medical. Common issues include:

• Mismatch between a worker’s particulars and the details recorded on forms
• Missing pages or incomplete sections of required forms
• Workers arriving without the required travel document for identification
• Unclear expectations about whether and where chest imaging will be completed
• Clustered appointments for multiple workers within a short time window

These issues can lead to rescheduling, repeat visits, or extended waiting time.

Practical Steps Keystone Medical Recommends

Keystone Medical recommends five steps employers and agents can apply consistently.

First, confirm which onboarding pathway applies and plan the medical appointment early within the required window.

Second, verify identity details before the visit. Ensure the worker brings the correct travel document and that names and document numbers match the required forms.

Third, clarify the testing pathway in advance. Employers and agents should confirm what tests are required and whether chest imaging will be done onsite or at a partner radiology centre.

Fourth, stagger appointments for multiple arrivals. Spreading visits across several days reduces congestion and lowers the risk of missed slots.

Fifth, provide workers with a short checklist in an appropriate language. A one-page guide that explains what to bring, what will happen step-by-step, and how results are handled can prevent misunderstandings.

Communication And Worker Experience

Keystone Medical emphasises that compliance processes work best when they are clear, respectful, and easy to follow. Workers may feel anxious when they do not know why tests are required or what will happen during the visit. This can be reduced through simple explanations and consistent clinic workflows.

A helpful principle is to focus on listening and clarity at each stage of the visit. As stated on Keystone’s doctor profile page:

“Dr Quek actively listens to her patients and their loved ones, encouraging them to express their concerns and questions.”

This approach supports smoother visits by reducing confusion, improving cooperation during testing, and lowering the likelihood of repeated queries after the appointment.

• Leader in residential sale leasebacks urges homeowners and leaders to rethink “trapped equity” and build tools that put people first

New York, US, 20th December 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Entrepreneur and advisor Jarred Kessler is calling for a national reset in how Americans think about home equity, financial tools, and community investment. Drawing on his experience building a residential sale leaseback platform and advising companies across finance and technology, Kessler is urging homeowners, policymakers, and business leaders to focus on solutions that give people options instead of more debt.

“Earlier in my career, success was simple. Hit the number, grow the book, lead the league table,” said Kessler. “After the work we did with homeowners, I started to see success in terms of options. If a family has more choices than they did before they met you, that is success.”

The Problem of Trapped Equity

For many households, a home is their largest asset. In the United States, millions of families have most of their wealth tied up in home equity, while at the same time many do not have enough savings to handle a basic emergency. When medical bills, job loss, or rising costs hit, homeowners often face a narrow set of choices: take on more debt, sell and move, or fall behind.

Kessler saw this gap up close while leading the residential sale leaseback company he founded and ran for nearly nine years. The company gave homeowners a way to sell their home, unlock equity, and stay in place as renters, rather than being forced into a rushed sale or high risk loan.

“What pushed me forward was how often I heard the same story,” Kessler explained. “People had equity but were under pressure. They did not want to sell and move. They did not want more debt. They wanted flexibility.”

Under his leadership, the platform grew from a concept into a national operation. It set legal precedents around sale leasebacks, completed acquisitions, raised significant capital, and earned industry recognition from HousingWire, Inman, PropTech Breakthrough, and Inc Magazine. The company also reached hundreds of families who needed another path in moments of stress.

“The reality is that too many homeowners are being left behind or driven deeper into debt by legacy financial solutions,” said Kessler. “The risk of not trying something new was larger than the risk of building a new model.”

Putting People Back at the Center of Finance

Kessler’s call to action is shaped by a career that began on Wall Street. At Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, and Cantor Fitzgerald, he managed large portfolios and led teams, at one point overseeing a global equities business with a balance sheet over one billion dollars and a staff of hundreds.

“The lesson is that systems break when you forget the human on the other side,” he said. “During the credit crisis, you could feel the real cost of those charts. Jobs, homes, and retirement plans were tied to the decisions we made. That awareness stayed with me.”

Today, through Momentum Advisors JBK, Good Group Global, and Mindora.io, Kessler continues to apply that lesson. He helps companies restructure, scale, and manage crises while asking a simple test of every plan: does this help real people in a clear way.

“When I work with a client, I push them to ask, ‘Who lives inside this spreadsheet,’” Kessler noted. “The best strategies respect both the data and the people behind it.”

Why This Matters Now

Economic shocks, rising interest rates, and uneven wage growth have put pressure on homeowners, renters, and local communities. Many families feel squeezed between high housing costs and limited savings. At the same time, neighborhoods facing disinvestment struggle with vacant properties, low quality housing, and fewer opportunities.

Kessler believes that better designed financial tools can help on both fronts. Models that give homeowners flexible ways to use equity, along with programs that turn distressed assets into workforce housing, can reduce stress for families and strengthen communities at the same time.

He has put this belief into action by co founding and advising Rebuilding the Fort and Rehab Warriors, a not for profit that works with banks, municipalities, and institutions to revitalize neighborhoods while creating high earning roles for military veterans in development and construction.

“When you see a veteran move from uncertainty into a skilled career, or a run down block start to turn around, you remember what all the strategy decks are for,” Kessler said. “It is about real neighborhoods and real people.”

What Homeowners and Communities Can Do

Kessler’s message is not only directed at institutions. He wants everyday people to understand their own power and options. Instead of waiting for a crisis, he encourages homeowners to take simple, proactive steps now.

“Most careers and most financial journeys are a series of experiments,” he said. “You do not need a perfect plan. You need better information and the courage to ask hard questions.”

He recommends that homeowners and community members:

• Map their equity and risk: Know how much equity you have, what your monthly costs are, and how long you could cover them in a disruption.

• Learn all the tools, not just loans: Explore options like sale leasebacks, shared equity, and other models that may fit your situation better than traditional debt.

• Challenge providers to be clear: Ask banks, platforms, and advisors to explain products in plain language. If you do not understand the downside, do not sign.

• Talk about money early and often: Share lessons with family, friends, and neighbors. Many people feel alone in financial stress. Honest conversations can surface options and reduce shame.

• Support local and veteran focused programs: Back efforts that turn vacant or distressed properties into safe, stable housing while creating real careers, especially for veterans and underserved groups.

“The most important thing people can do is not wait until they are out of options,” Kessler said. “Ask questions before there is a fire. Look for partners who treat you as a person, not just a file.”

A Call for Human Centered Innovation

Kessler is asking leaders across finance, real estate, and technology to build products that serve this new standard. That means tools that unlock trapped potential in homes, careers, and communities without pushing people into deeper risk. It also means teaching the next generation to see success as more than a number on a screen.

“Many people think success is a straight line,” he said. “In reality, the most valuable skills come from the messy middle. The same is true for systems. We need the courage to update models that no longer work for real life.”

For Jarred Kessler, the path forward is clear. See the hidden value inside people and places. Build structures that support it. Measure success by the choices and stability people gain, not just by short term returns.

“If we can give families more control over their path, and give communities more tools to grow, that is the kind of impact that lasts,” he said. “That is the work worth doing.”

About Jarred Kessler

Jarred Kessler is an entrepreneur and advisor based in New York City who works at the intersection of real estate, finance, and technology. He is the founder and former CEO of a national residential sale leaseback company and now leads Momentum Advisors JBK, Good Group Global, and Mindora.io, with a focus on unlocking trapped equity and building human centered financial tools. Through his teaching and nonprofit work, including Rebuilding the Fort and Rehab Warriors, he helps homeowners, veterans, and communities gain more stable and flexible futures.

Teckgeekz launches a 2025 Flight API suite integrating GDS (Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport) and NDC protocols. The framework features AI voice agents and carbon tracking, providing sub-millisecond latency and reduced operational costs for global travel agencies.

NEW DELHI, India — Teckgeekz, a premier architect of global travel technology solutions, today announced the launch of its enhanced Flight API Integration suite, specifically engineered to navigate the hyper-fragmented aviation landscape of 2025. By harmonizing legacy Global Distribution Systems (GDS) with emerging New Distribution Capability (NDC) protocols and AI-driven performance layers, Teckgeekz is enabling online travel agencies (OTAs) and corporate travel management companies to achieve sub-millisecond search latency and unprecedented inventory transparency.   

The global aviation distribution ecosystem now processes over ten billion queries daily, shifting from centralized legacy models to a decentralized, API-first retail environment. For modern travel enterprises, the ability to aggregate real-time inventory from diverse suppliers—ranging from flag carriers to ultra-low-cost carriers (LCCs)—is no longer a luxury but the primary determinant of commercial survival.   

The Core of Distribution: GDS Mastering and Regional Optimization

At the structural center of the industry remain the Global Distribution Systems (GDS): Amadeus, Sabre, and Travelport. These platforms function as the essential bridge between airline inventory and digital travel sellers. Teckgeekz’s updated framework provides deep-tier integration for these giants, tailored to their specific regional strengths and technical architectures.

Teckgeekz specializes in the technical orchestration of these systems, particularly for firms requiring the high-performance Amadeus Web Service client, where Teckgeekz has maintained a leading SOAP client library for the global developer community. While Amadeus remains the dominant force in EMEA, Sabre’s “Red App” ecosystem and data-driven insights offer superior results for North American corporate travel. Travelport+, conversely, offers a modernized JSON-based approach that Teckgeekz utilizes for agencies requiring rapid market entry.

Leading the NDC Paradigm Shift: Beyond Legacy EDIFACT

The most significant technological evolution in 2025 is the transition to the New Distribution Capability (NDC). This XML-based standard, developed by IATA, replaces the restrictive EDIFACT protocols that have governed aviation for decades.   

Traditional GDS models pull static, pre-filed fares. In the NDC model supported by Teckgeekz, the airline creates the offer in real-time within its own environment, pushing rich content—images, personalized bundles, and dynamic pricing—directly to the seller.

Teckgeekz manages the complex “Airline Retailing Maturity” (ARM) capabilities required for NDC, supporting up to 13 shopping and five distinct order capabilities. This allows OTAs to display “Branded Fares” and complex ancillaries, ensuring they can compete on content parity with airline-direct websites.

Engineering a High-Performance Multi-Source Aggregator

In 2025, a competitive booking engine must function as a multi-source aggregator, normalizing data from GDS, NDC, and LCC APIs into a single, cohesive user experience. Teckgeekz has engineered a proprietary architectural stack to solve the inherent challenges of fragmentation.   

The Teckgeekz Aggregator Tech Stack

1. The Normalization Layer: This middleware functions as a universal translator, mapping diverse response formats (XML, JSON, SOAP) into a unified internal schema to prevent “data leakage” and ensure accurate fare comparisons.   
2. PNR & Order Management: Managing Passenger Name Records (PNRs) and Transitional Stored Ticket (TST) records across multiple supplier environments is a core Teckgeekz competency, ensuring seamless ticketing and settlement.   
3. Real-Time Validation Engine: To combat the volatility of flight inventory, Teckgeekz implements a pre-payment verification step that validates prices in milliseconds, reducing “outdated inventory” errors.   
4. Secure Authentication Module: The architecture employs OAuth 2.0 and JWT (JSON Web Token) handshakes to securely manage supplier credentials and token lifecycles.

Performance Optimization through Intelligent Caching

High latency is the primary cause of user abandonment in travel portals. To achieve the sub-millisecond speeds required by modern travelers, Teckgeekz utilizes Redis Enterprise for sophisticated, multi-tier caching strategies.   

Strategic Caching Patterns

• Cache-Aside: Reduces database load by checking the cache for popular routes before querying supplier APIs.   
• Adaptive Caching: Uses Redis atomic increments to track query frequency, extending the Time-to-Live (TTL) for “hot” data during peak seasons.
• Tiered TTL: Implements varied expiration times—15 minutes for volatile live fares versus 24 hours for static airport metadata—to balance freshness and performance.   
• Cache Prefetching: Anticipates user behavior by loading the initial pages of search results during low-traffic periods, ensuring an instant user experience.

The 2025-2026 Technological Frontier: AI and Sustainability

Teckgeekz is at the forefront of integrating Generative AI and environmental accountability into the booking lifecycle.   

AI-Activated Booking Engines

The implementation of voice-activated and LLM-powered booking assistants allows travelers to explore complex multi-city itineraries through natural language. Systems integrated by Teckgeekz can process 80% of routine bookings without human intervention, reducing operational support costs by over 60%. These agents use Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) with over 95% accuracy to extract intents and entities from user speech.   

Sustainable Aviation and Carbon Tracking

Sustainability is now a core requirement for corporate ESG compliance. Teckgeekz integrates the ICAO Carbon Emissions Calculator (ICEC) and IATA CO2 Connect APIs to provide pre-flight transparency.

About Teckgeekz

Teckgeekz is a world-class digital marketing and technology development firm based in New Delhi, India. Established in 2011, the company has evolved into a strategic partner for the global travel industry, specializing in GDS API integration, NDC implementation, and the development of high-performance travel booking engines. With a focus on proprietary technology and performance marketing, Teckgeekz enables travel agencies to optimize their online presence, reduce operational costs, and capture high-value leads in a competitive digital market.

• Veteran contractor highlights why preparation, detail, and mindset still matter

Newark, DE, 20 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Following a recent spotlight interview on his career, Mike Purvis of J Michael’s Painting, Inc. is using the moment to raise awareness around a growing issue in residential contracting: the decline of planning, preparation, and craftsmanship in everyday home services.

With more than 30 years in business, Purvis has seen the industry change. Faster timelines, tighter margins, and constant demand have pushed many contractors to rush work. The result, he says, is avoidable rework, customer frustration, and lost trust.

“Most problems start before the paint ever goes on the wall,” Purvis said in the interview. “If you skip preparation or rush planning, the finish always shows it.”

Industry surveys consistently show that home improvement rework costs homeowners billions each year, often due to poor prep, unclear scope, or rushed schedules. In painting alone, inadequate surface preparation is cited as one of the leading causes of premature failure.

Purvis believes the solution is not complicated. It starts with fundamentals.

“Quality work isn’t about fancy tools,” he said. “It’s about thinking through the job, respecting the process, and taking responsibility for the result.”

The interview traces how Purvis built J Michael’s Painting, Inc. from the ground up by focusing on realistic schedules, attention to detail, and customer communication. Those principles, he says, still apply today, regardless of market pressure.

He also emphasised mindset as a missing ingredient. “You need a never-quit attitude,” Purvis noted. “Things go wrong. Weather changes. Plans shift. You adapt and finish the job properly.”

Purvis encourages homeowners and contractors alike to take practical steps on their own:

• Ask clearer questions about preparation and timelines

• Value experience and process, not just speed

• Document what works and repeat it

• Take pride in finishing work properly

“Good outcomes come from small decisions made early,” he said. “Anyone can raise the standard by slowing down and doing things right.”

Mike Purvis is the founder of J Michael’s Painting, Inc., a residential painting company based in Newark, Delaware. He has spent more than 30 years in the painting industry, building his career around quality workmanship, careful planning, and strong customer service. Known for his attention to detail and disciplined approach, Purvis believes lasting results come from preparation, consistency, and a never-quit mindset.

• Chris Hibler of Fresno Leads Resident-Focused Urban Planning With Real-World Results

Fresno, California, 20 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Chris Hibler of Fresno helps cities plan and build public spaces that residents use, trust, and maintain. His projects start with clear goals, rely on community input, and finish with measurable impact. Whether redesigning a downtown corridor, expanding trail access, or improving a small business district, his focus stays on practical delivery and outcomes that last.

Planning often fails when it over-promises and under-delivers. Cities develop bold plans, but implementation lags. Budgets shift. Staff turns over. Residents lose faith. Chris Hibler of Fresno closes this gap with a delivery method that connects engagement, funding, permitting, and construction into a single, trackable process.

He works across California’s Central Valley, where cities face complex needs with limited capacity. His projects include streetscape redesigns, park and trail networks, and housing tied to jobs and transit. Each effort includes budget alignment, grant stacking, phasing, procurement, and maintenance planning from day one. The goal is simple: turn plans into built work.

Resident Input Shapes Project Direction

Chris Hibler of Fresno starts every project by walking the site and listening to residents. His team maps current conditions and brings early concepts to workshops before formal design begins. He uses simple diagrams and visuals to clarify trade-offs and timelines. This keeps the public involved in decision-making without slowing progress.

Alternatives stay grounded in what’s workable. Instead of presenting flashy renderings, his team builds small pilot projects to test safety, usability, and maintenance. Temporary installations offer real feedback and allow changes before full construction. This approach builds trust and leads to more resilient designs.

Planning With a Focus on Follow-Through

Too many projects stall in permitting or fall apart during procurement. Chris Hibler of Fresno treats delivery planning as a core part of urban design. Environmental review, construction phasing, and procurement strategy are built into the early scope. This prevents costly rewrites later.

He also prioritizes maintenance. Material selection, access for upkeep crews, and long-term durability are built into final designs. Cities often overlook this. Chris Hibler of Fresno doesn’t. He knows a park isn’t successful if it falls apart a year after ribbon cutting.

Measurable Outcomes, Not Theoretical Goals

Progress is tracked through outcomes, not paperwork. His approach documents each decision, phase, and adjustment. Teams know where the project stands, what’s next, and how to adjust if needed. This reduces risk and improves communication between agencies, contractors, and community partners.

Chris Hibler of Fresno shares checklists and templates with city teams so they can reuse the process. He supports lean departments that need structure but lack extra staff. His tools make complex projects more manageable.

Supporting Local Capacity in the Central Valley

Working from Fresno, he understands the unique challenges of the region. Central Valley cities often face extreme weather, infrastructure backlogs, and limited grant-writing support. Chris Hibler of Fresno helps cities compete for funding with project scopes that match what teams can deliver and maintain.

His partnerships include public agencies, nonprofits, and private design and construction firms. He works across sectors because coordination is key to delivery. He avoids plans that gather dust and instead focuses on what can be built with current resources.

A Track Record of Trust and Practical Progress

Across all his work, Chris Hibler of Fresno builds confidence in the planning process. Residents see improvements take shape. Agencies finish what they start. Businesses stay open during upgrades. Parks remain usable. Streets feel safer.

Urban planning often centers on vision. Chris Hibler of Fresno centers on results. His process is disciplined, documented, and repeatable. His projects are built for use, not for show. And his goal stays clear: help cities build spaces that work.

Fresno, California, 20 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Chris Hibler of Fresno is known for a delivery-focused approach to urban planning. His work centers on helping mid-sized cities move projects from early ideas through construction with clarity and follow-through. Streets, parks, trails, and small business corridors reach completion because scope, funding, and timing stay aligned from the start.

Many cities produce thoughtful plans yet struggle to implement them. Reviews stretch on. Budgets drift. Teams lose momentum. Chris Hibler of Fresno addresses these issues early. He treats planning as a sequence of decisions tied to real constraints. Each phase prepares the next. Projects move forward with fewer surprises.

His experience spans corridor redesigns, downtown streetscapes, park and trail networks, and housing near jobs and transit. Across project types, the approach stays consistent. Define outcomes early. Match scope to budget. Set milestones. Track progress. Plan for long-term care before construction begins.

Resident engagement plays a central role. Chris Hibler of Fresno works with residents, business owners, and agency staff at the front end. Feedback shapes alternatives instead of reacting to finished designs. Site walks ground discussions in real conditions. Tradeoffs remain visible. Decisions stay documented.

Environmental review and permitting often slow progress. Chris Hibler of Fresno integrates these steps into early scoping. He flags risks while options remain flexible. Agencies gain confidence because late-stage changes drop. Timelines stay realistic.

Funding strategy follows the same logic. Projects get built when dollars match delivery. Chris Hibler of Fresno prepares grant packages with clear scopes and schedules. He coordinates local match requirements and phasing plans. This helps agencies compete for state and federal funding while keeping commitments manageable.

Procurement and construction planning receive equal attention. He supports teams in selecting delivery methods aligned with staff capacity. Phasing plans reduce disruption to daily life. Maintenance needs guide material and design choices. The goal stays simple. Build work cities can operate and afford.

Based in California’s Central Valley, Chris Hibler of Fresno works with public agencies, nonprofits, and private partners. Mid-sized cities face specific constraints. Staff capacity stays limited. Infrastructure needs remain broad. Growth pressure collides with tight budgets. His process respects these limits.

Colleagues describe his work style as organized and steady. Meetings end with clear next steps. Documents stay readable. Checklists replace guesswork. This structure supports coordination across departments and consultants.

Pilot projects play a key role. Quick-build installations test designs before full investment. Data from pilots informs final decisions. Risk drops. Public trust grows because people see ideas working on the ground.

Chris Hibler of Fresno believes planning succeeds when residents notice safer movement, better access to green space, and stronger local businesses. Results matter after ribbon cutting. He encourages teams to track outcomes and adjust over time.

His work reflects a belief that planning serves people best when it leads to built improvements. Clear steps replace abstract promises. Cities gain tools they can reuse. Projects move forward with purpose.

Chris Hibler of Fresno Supports Practical Urban Growth Across California’s Central Valley

Chris Hibler of Fresno brings a Fresno-rooted perspective to urban planning across California’s Central Valley. His work responds to the realities of inland mid-sized cities where growth, infrastructure needs, and fiscal limits intersect every day. Solutions succeed because they fit local context.

The Central Valley faces pressures distinct from coastal regions. Heat shapes public space. Travel distances remain long. Local economies depend on small business districts and regional connections. Chris Hibler of Fresno designs projects with these conditions in mind.

His portfolio includes downtown street improvements, corridor redesigns, park and trail systems, and housing near jobs and transit. Each project links physical design to daily use. Streets support safety and access. Parks connect neighborhoods. Housing aligns with mobility and employment.

Monmouth, New Jersey, 20 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Alfredo “Fred” Abascal didn’t inherit a portfolio or walk into boardrooms with credentials alone. His career started in the field, laying bricks and raising frames by hand. Over the past 25 years, he has transformed that foundation into a real estate development career that spans residential building, interior design, and project management across some of New Jersey’s most in-demand counties.

Today, he’s involved in multimillion-dollar projects in Hudson and Monmouth Counties—managing timelines, budgets, and build quality with the same attention to detail he developed as a tradesman. But to understand the scope of Fred’s current work, it helps to understand where he started.

Fred began in construction as a teenager. He learned the trades from the ground up—masonry, roofing, siding, framing—working directly on homes in various stages of completion. Unlike many in the industry who specialize narrowly, Fred gained fluency across every major phase of residential construction. That full-spectrum knowledge has shaped his entire career. It also gave him something few developers have: firsthand experience with what works and what fails in the field.

“Knowing the trades changes how you build a team,” Fred says. “You don’t guess how long something takes. You don’t overpromise. And you don’t design things that won’t hold up over time.”

Through the 1980s and 1990s, Fred flipped residential properties while expanding his skill set. But his ambitions weren’t limited to physical builds. He also had a sharp eye for growth strategy and marketing. That mix of practical execution and business intuition set the stage for one of his most successful ventures—National Window Coverings.

Founded as a small design-forward company focused on blinds and window treatments, National Window Coverings exploded under Fred’s leadership. Revenue grew from $750,000 to $9 million in under three years. His operational plan included a move from a 2,000 square foot warehouse to a 10,000 square foot distribution center and a marketing budget that peaked at $150,000 per month. The company was named a “Best Buy” by Consumers Digest in 1994.

That period of rapid expansion gave Fred firsthand experience with business infrastructure, logistics, customer acquisition, and scale—all skills that would later serve him in real estate development.

By the early 2000s, Fred shifted focus to full-time real estate acquisitions and project oversight. Over the next two decades, he secured contracts for more than 288 residential units, including homes, condos, and multi-family buildings throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He doesn’t just source deals—he manages construction teams, coordinates timelines, and oversees every aspect of development.

Now, Fred is working on two large-scale New Jersey projects. In Hudson County, he’s overseeing a modern townhouse development, where individual units are expected to sell around $1.8 million each. The land and approved plans are also available for $1.5 million, offering flexibility for buyers or investors seeking shovel-ready assets.

In Monmouth County, he’s associated with an approved $30 million mixed-use project that includes 174 condominiums and 40,000 square feet of retail and medical space. Permits and plans are secured, and site preparation is expected to begin soon. Fred is positioned to serve as project manager, bringing his trademark hands-on approach to a build of substantial scale.

These developments reflect not only market demand but also Fred’s commitment to growth that lasts. He’s not interested in cutting corners or chasing short-term returns. His projects are built around structural integrity, smart timelines, and strong design.

“I don’t look for fast flips,” Fred says. “I look for projects that will still be standing, still performing, and still looking good ten years from now.”

What sets Fred apart isn’t only his background. It’s his ability to bridge tradesman-level execution with executive-level planning. He understands what permits mean for timelines, how design affects material costs, and how each decision on paper plays out in the field.

He also brings a broader design sensibility to his work. His experience in interior design and global travel shows up in the way he thinks about space, flow, and livability. He doesn’t default to cookie-cutter finishes or developer-standard layouts. His goal is to build homes people want to live in—not units built to maximize margins.

Fred’s career spans more than 25 years, but his approach has stayed consistent: do the work, know the work, and deliver results that stand the test of time.

• Strengthening access to personalized mental health care for individuals and families throughout the region.

Waldorf, Maryland, 20 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Oasis of Hope BHC today reaffirms its commitment to delivering inclusive, high-quality psychiatric and behavioral health services across communities in Southern Maryland.

With a broad array of services — from comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management to psychotherapy, telepsychiatry and outreach via mobile treatment — Oasis of Hope BHC stands ready to support individuals and families seeking professional care for mental health and substance use challenges.

At a time when demand for mental health support is growing, Oasis of Hope BHC provides an accessible and compassionate option. The practice’s services extend beyond traditional office-based care. Their telepsychiatry offering, for example, helps remove barriers for those with transportation challenges, busy schedules, or other constraints, ensuring that care can reach people no matter their circumstances.

Mobile treatment services further expand access, allowing trained providers to deliver therapy and support in patients’ homes — a benefit for individuals who might otherwise struggle to attend in-person visits.

 “Whether someone needs a full psychiatric assessment, regular medication management, or therapy sessions from the comfort of home, we’re dedicated to offering care that fits their needs,” said a spokesperson for Oasis of Hope BHC. “We believe that mental health care should be available to everyone, regardless of their background, transportation, or schedule.”

Oasis of Hope BHC offers psychiatric services for all age groups — children, adolescents, adults, and older adults — recognizing that mental health conditions can affect anyone. The initial psychiatric evaluation is thorough, drawing on behavioral and developmental history as well as social, cognitive, environmental, and biological factors. This comprehensive assessment ensures that treatment plans reflect each individual’s unique circumstances.

Once diagnosed, patients may receive medication management, psychotherapy, or both — depending on what fits their needs best. The clinic provides several therapy approaches including cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, interpersonal therapy, and supportive therapy. These methods help address issues such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, relationship difficulties, grief, life transitions, and substance use disorders.

Oasis of Hope BHC also emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship between practitioners and clients. Under the guidance of licensed professionals — including psychiatric nurse practitioners and licensed therapists — treatment combines empathy, active listening, and evidence-based practices.

The clinic’s mission, summed up in the motto “Two minds working together for a better health,” underscores its commitment to patient engagement: clients are invited to participate actively in their care, helping shape their path toward improved well-being.

In addition to clinical care, Oasis of Hope BHC works to counter stigma around mental health. The organization envisions a society where people can speak openly about their mental health challenges and obtain help without judgment — just like they would for any other medical condition.
