Kaiser Permanente Panorama City Medical Center

Image
The Kaiser Permanente Panorama City Medical Center in Panorama City, California aims to be a state-of-the-art replacement facility for an existing 218-bed hospital in the Los Angeles area. A full service imaging department, a 52-position emergency department and a 10 room operating suite round out this newest addition to the Kaiser family. There is no debating that the best way to go about finding a quality medical provider is to shop around. However, you will want to be sure you select a medical center that is part of the KP Network, the largest and most comprehensive managed health care network in the country. Fortunately, you can find a medical center near you by visiting the KP HealthCare website. If you are on the prowl, you should also keep in mind that KP's medical offices are all open to the public and accessible by car, if not by appointment. https://medium.com/@energypro.mkt/los-angeles-kings-valley-ice-center-53f672e475a1 A quick search for medical facilities in the Pano...

Ritchie Valens Recreation Center

Image
The Ritchie Valens Recreation Center is the name of a park in Pacoima CA. This is a public park located at Laurel Canyon Blvd. It is open from Monday to Sunday. There is a children's play area, a basketball court, a skatepark, and a community center building. Unfortunately, the City of Los Angeles has not properly maintained this park. For one, there is not a swimming pool available to the public. In addition, the basketball courts are not publicly accessible. However, the park does offer a children's playground and shaded baby swings. https://medium.com/@energypro.mkt/fenton-primary-center-642c289f4472 In addition, the indoor gymnasium is a good size and offers many programs to help kids. The gymnasium also serves as an auditorium for the community. Another nifty feature of this park is its location next to the freeway. With a little bit of work, the city could have made this a popular place for both young and old. While it is not a huge park, it is the perfect place to hang o...

Why You Should Never Try to Do a Flood Restoration by Yourself

Image
If you've ever experienced a flood, you know that cleanup is a long process. While it's tempting to try to handle the job yourself, there are several reasons why you should always hire professional help. The first reason is that you may not have the necessary equipment to get the job done right. A professional will have the right tools and knowledge to remove moisture and disinfect to avoid future mold problems. This is especially true of flooded floors. It's also a good idea to use a dehumidifier or a fan to dry out the air. If you haven't experienced a flood, you may not be aware that it can cause structural damage to your home. Water can carry debris into your home and push water into nooks and crannies you didn't even realize were there. You should also be aware that it can be contaminated with bacteria and harsh chemicals. These can result in illness and even electrical shock. https://medium.com/@energypro.mkt/why-you-need-a-professional-flood-restoration-servi...

Why You Should Care About Mold Removal

Image
  If you live in a house that has been exposed to mold, it's best to act sooner rather than later. Mold can cause serious health problems, so getting it removed is a great first step to protecting your family. But if you try to tackle it on your own, you could end up doing more damage than good. Aside from causing headaches and coughing, mold can also lead to other more serious issues. It can eat away at ceiling tiles, floorboards, and other building materials. In addition, mold can produce toxic substances called mycotoxins. These can have a more severe effect on people who have weakened immune systems, chronic lung disease, or other respiratory illnesses. https://medium.com/@energypro.mkt/how-to-ensure-your-home-is-mold-free-71de22aec30c There are several ways to get rid of the mold, but it's best to start by finding its source. The problem may be as simple as a leaky roof or a leaking drainpipe. Also, if you have pets or children, you should seal off the affected area to kee...
