The new partnership educates a culturally diverse audience about uterine fibroids

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - December 13, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

MIVA Medical, the leading endovascular treatment center in the greater Kansas City Metro area, is pleased to announce a new marketing partnership with Kansas City's #1 Hip Hop and R&B radio station KPRS HOT 103 JAMZ.

The new partnership between MIVA Medical and KPRS Hot 103 JAMZ provides an important opportunity for MIVA Medical and the radio station to educate a culturally diverse audience about uterine fibroids; a common condition found in women aged 25-54. Uterine Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors found on the uterus and often are very painful and cause excessive bleeding during menstrual cycles. 

"There is a lot to know about uterine fibroids and the treatment options available. We want women in the Kansas City community to know about their treatment choices when it comes to uterine fibroids which are 5x's more commonly found in African American women and 3x's more prevalent in Hispanic women," says Board Certified and Fellowship Trained Interventional Radiologist Dr. Silas Williams.

"When we heard about what MIVA Medical wanted to do we felt it was important to help our listeners become more educated about this medical condition, so we partnered with MIVA to produce a series of public service announcements called 'Your Health Matters' to shine a light on this problem and its treatment options," said KPRS General Manager Victor Dyson. 

MIVA Medical made the decision to team with KPRS Hot 103 JAMZ because its radio station is known to reach an ethnically diverse audience of loyal listeners and is the #1 Urban station delivering women 25-54 all week long. When Hot 103 JAMZ listeners tune in to their favorite radio station they will hear a series of interview segments with Dr. Williams answering most asked questions like "what are uterine fibroids?" How are they diagnosed? What are the symptoms? What treatment options are available besides surgery? And, how does the minimally invasive treatment called Uterine Fibroid Embolization compare to a Hysterectomy?  

"Most people are not familiar with interventional radiology as a specialty and the broad range of medical conditions we treat. Thanks to advancements in x-ray and imaging technology, we can navigate inside the body and treat conditions such as uterine fibroids without the need for open surgery. It's important to help folks understand every option out there and KPRS Kansas City offered us the broadest way to reach women most at risk of developing uterine fibroids" said endovascular specialist Dr. Silas Williams.

Listeners can also find information on the KPRS.com web page where they can click a banner for more info about uterine fibroids taking them to more information and videos at miva-medical.com. There is even a quiz listeners can take at https://miva-medical.com/uterine-fibroids to learn more.

Soft tennis team bags PH’s 1st medal in Asiad

THE Philippines took its first 20th Asian Games medal after the national women's soft tennis team claimed a bronze medal at the Nagoya City Higashiyama Park Tennis Center Sunday. The Filipino netters suffered an 0-2 loss to the Japanese but claimed the bronze anyway as semifinalists. Bien Zoleta, Princess Catinding, Christy Sanosa, Hilary Paas, and Shyryn Salazar thus gave the Philippines its first-ever soft tennis Asian Games medal since the sport made it debut at the 1994 edition of the meet in Hiroshima. Zoleta and Catindig fell to Rena Temma and Kiho Miyamae, 4-0, 4-1, 4-2, 4-0, 4-1, and Sanosa yielded to Ayaka Iwakura, 4-0, 4-1, 4-2, 4-2, 4-0. The Philippine team finished in top two of Group B for the semifinal entry and that guaranteed bronze medal finish. The Philippines defeated Mongolia, 3-0, and Thailand, 2-1, before taking a 0-3 loss to Taiwan in the preliminaries. "We're so happy because this is a very historic win for us in Philippine soft tennis. This is the first time we've had a podium finish since 1994. We're extremely glad that we won a medal for our country," team captain Bien Zoleta told POC Media. "This [medal] is what we dream of in soft tennis. This is our Olympics, so winning a medal here is a huge deal for us," she added. Zoleta could not help but get emotional reflecting on their achievement as a team. "This isn't just for us, it's for the Philippines—especially since we turned out to be the first to bring home a medal. So I hope this boosts the morale of the other national athletes competing today, tomorrow, and in the coming days, because you all know how hard we worked to win this, especially at the Asian Games," she shared. Here is the English translation for this section: Despite the loss, the home crowd applauded the Philippine team for their effort against the defending champions. For Zoleta, a longtime soft tennis national athlete, she believes the Asiad bronze will pave the way for more players from the Philippines. "I know that because of the bronze medal produced by the entire Philippine soft tennis team, many doors will open for us. And not just for us, but for the soft tennis community — plus even more people will appreciate it and build soft tennis programs in the Philippines," Zoleta said. Philippine Sports Commission Chairman Patrick Gregorio personally watched the match and congratulated the team. "Long live! This is our first-ever medal in the Asian Games. I really made sure to watch you. I know you can still win more medals. Let's just stay focused. It's really exciting to see this sport," he told POC Media. "This is a sport we can truly develop. It's great that we are here at the Asian Games; let's prepare so we can win more medals... This is a real opportunity to promote the sport," Gregorio added.

McIlroy two shots off lead at Wentworth

VIRGINIA WATER, UK — Rory McIlroy is just two strokes off the lead going into Sunday’s final day of the European Tour’s flagship PGA Championship at Wentworth after finishing his third round with a spectacular eagle. The back-to-back US Masters champion, one of just six golfers to have won all four of the sport’s men’s major titles, posted a three-under par 69 on Saturday to leave him joint-sixth, and one of five players on 11-under. McIlroy was one-over for the day after 11 holes, but the 37-year-old Northern Irishman showed his class with birdies on the 12th and 17th before a superb four-iron approach shot from 230 yards left him with a tap-in for eagle on the last at Wentworth. “I think it was a day when you really had to take advantage of the par-fives; they were your scoring opportunities,” McIlroy told DP World (European) Tour media. He added: “The wind was up and down a little bit, so it was hard to trust that the wind was going to do what you thought it was going to do, but I stayed as patient as I could, and then I feel like that patience was rewarded over those last few holes.” Spain’s Manuel Elvira and Italy’s Filippo Celli lead heading into the final day, both on 13-under, while three others — Alejandro del Rey, JJ Spaun and Johannes Veerman — are 12-under, leaving the fate of the tournament wide open on Sunday. McIlroy is trying to reel in Patrick Reed to win a record-equalling eighth Race to Dubai title — the competition which crowns the best player on the European Tour — and is also bidding for the second PGA Championship title of his career on a course he knows well. “Look, I’ve got a big opportunity tomorrow (Sunday) on both fronts,” McIlroy said. “I’d love to win this tournament again. It’s been 12 years and I have so many great memories of Wentworth in general. “I came here for the first time, I think, as a 10-year-old, to watch the World Matchplay all the way back in the day ... Fast-forward, I’ve won this event, I’ve played a lot here, we now have a house on the estate as well. “This place has got a lot of history for me, so hopefully I have a good day tomorrow and give myself a real chance at it again."
