See the social-media video highlighting the community-service recognition connected to Paul and Sharon Conrady and the work of Hyperbarics for Heroes.

The AARP Andrus Award for Community Service honors volunteers age 50 and older who use their experience, compassion, and leadership to strengthen their communities.

  • The award is named for AARP founder Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus.
  • It recognizes meaningful, unpaid community service.
  • Each state selects its own honoree or group of honorees.
  • State recipients may direct an award-related charitable contribution to an eligible nonprofit.
This recognition reflects the continued impact of Hyperbarics for Heroes and the people who help make its work possible.
Cancer Education

Two Conversations About ANKTIVA and the Future of Cancer Care

These interviews explore Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong’s work and the debate surrounding broader access to ANKTIVA, an immune-activating therapy with a specific FDA-approved use.

Important context: The FDA approved ANKTIVA with BCG for certain adults with BCG-unresponsive, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer with carcinoma in situ. That approval does not establish effectiveness for every cancer type or every use discussed in outside interviews.
Peptides and Bioregulators

Dr. Josh Axe Breaks Down Peptides and Bioregulators

Peptides and Bioregulators: What They Are and Why People Use ThemA detailed discussion covering proposed applications involving brain health, liver and heart support, pain, organ function, and cellular signaling.
Provider GuidancePeptides are not one-size-fits-all wellness products.Product quality, legality, prescribing rules, dosing, contraindications, and evidence vary. Work with a qualified clinician and use properly sourced products when treatment is medically appropriate.

Hyperbaric Plus can share contact information for clinicians familiar with peptide-related care. The team is also interested in building relationships with qualified kidney specialists.

Archived Policy Watch

RFK Jr., FDA Reform and Alternative-Therapy Discussions

Historical context: This section reflects the political discussion surrounding the original December 5 newsletter. References to “president-elect” and proposed FDA changes describe that publication period and should not be read as a current policy update.

Archived policy-watch image from the original newsletter discussing possible changes in federal health policy and access to integrative therapies.

The original newsletter discussed public statements from Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about possible health-agency reform. At the time, supporters of integrative and alternative approaches were watching for changes that could affect research, regulation, and access.

Policy statements do not guarantee changes in insurance coverage, FDA authorization, medical standards, or access to hyperbaric services. Current rules should always be verified through official sources.
Outcomes-Based Wellness

Building a Program Around Measurable Results

The proposed framework centers on establishing a baseline, documenting participation, measuring change, and organizing records that may support a reimbursement request.

The goal is to create a structured, outcomes-based framework for clients who have tried mainstream care but feel their progress has reached a plateau.

BaselineEstablish measurable starting points.
DocumentTrack sessions, routines, and relevant changes.
DemonstrateCompare validated measures over time.
Request ReviewOrganize records for a possible reimbursement review.

Potential measures may include validated biomarkers, functional testing, cognitive scores, symptom scales, physical performance, or quality-of-life measures. The exact measurements should match the client’s goals and involve appropriate professionals when medical testing is needed.

  • Concussion and neurological-injury recovery support
  • Chronic kidney or liver dysfunction
  • Cognitive decline and post-stroke challenges
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Persistent inflammation or chronic illness
No reimbursement guarantee: Documentation may strengthen a request, but insurance reimbursement depends on the policy, medical necessity standards, coding, provider documentation, exclusions, and the insurer’s review. Hyperbaric Plus cannot promise payment or coverage.
