Las Trampas Releases Inclusive Holiday Hosting Guide to Support Adults With Disabilities

Las Trampas shares tips any host can use to create welcoming, accessible gatherings

LAFAYETTE, CA , Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Las Trampas, a nonprofit organization supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Contra Costa County, today released a practical guide to help families and community hosts create more inclusive, sensory-friendly holiday gatherings. The organization’s new tip sheet empowers hosts to accommodate the needs of guests with disabilities and foster a more welcoming environment for all.

Hand of person holding a tips-sheet

Nearly 1 in 6 U.S. children has a developmental disability, and about 1 in 4 adults lives with a disability, according to federal data. As families, employers and community groups plan holiday events, an East Bay nonprofit is urging hosts to consider how those gatherings affect people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Las Trampas, which supports adults with developmental disabilities in Contra Costa County, offers practical tips for making holiday celebrations more accessible and comfortable for guests with disabilities.

“An inclusive holiday isn’t about throwing a perfect party,” says Dan Hogue, executive director of Las Trampas. “It’s about offering real choices, paying attention to sensory needs and respecting different ways of participating. Those changes can improve the experience for every guest, not only people with disabilities.”

Hogue suggests starting with choice, not pressure, by giving guests flexibility in how they attend and participate:

• Offer a time window instead of expecting guests to stay for the entire event.
• State clearly that it is acceptable to arrive late, leave early or skip certain activities.
• Ask in advance if there is anything that would make the gathering more comfortable.

“Choice is a key part of dignity,” he explains. “When people know they can say no, they are often more willing to say yes.”

Hogue also says holiday environments can be loud, bright and crowded. For some guests, that can be overwhelming. He suggests:

• Keep music at a level that allows for conversation.
• Avoid flashing or strobe-style lights. Use softer or adjustable lighting when possible.
• Limit strong scents from candles, air fresheners or cooking in shared spaces.

Hogue also recommends involving adults with disabilities in organizing gatherings when possible. That can include:

• Asking what traditions matter to them.
• Inviting them to choose music, help plan the menu, greet guests or lead an activity.
• Treating a hosted celebration as something shared with guests, not done to them.

“When people help shape the celebration, they are not just included,” Hogue says. “They belong.”

“An inclusive holiday does not require perfection,” Hogue said. “It requires attention to what helps each person feel safe, respected and welcome. When we do that, adults with disabilities do more than attend our celebrations. They help define them.”

Este Surgery Launches Advanced DHI Hair Transplant in Turkey




Este Surgery Launches Advanced DHI Hair Transplant in Turkey

Turkey Raises the Bar in Medical Tourism with Advanced DHI Hair Transplant Technology

Istanbul, Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Turkey’s growing share of the global medical tourism market has led to significant advancements in surgical techniques. According to Este Surgery, a leading hair transplant clinic in Turkey, DHI protocols are being used to improve patient comfort and procedural success, leading to enhanced service quality and increased international demand in the sector.

Dr. Alp Aslan, the founder of Este Surgery and a specialist in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery

Industry data shows a steady upward trend in Turkey’s medical tourism revenues over the past five years, fueled by an increasing number of high-value surgical procedures. Rising global demand for non-invasive techniques has significantly increased the popularity of the DHI method, which is known for offering faster recovery times than traditional approaches.

Integration of Sapphire DHI in DHI Hair Transplant Processes

Recent clinical developments demonstrate the use of implantation pens (also known as Choi pens) paired with sapphire blades during the canal-opening phase. This method, referred to in medical literature as Sapphire DHI (S-DHI), aims to improve the efficacy of the standard DHI procedure.

Medical Infrastructure Requirements for the “Best Hair Transplant in Turkey”

Industry experts emphasize that international patients seeking the best hair transplant in Turkey should have their procedures performed in sterile hospital environments by expert surgeons. Surgical success depends not only on technical equipment, but also on the medical setting in which operations are conducted.

While Turkey has many providers, Este Surgery stands out with its “physician-led” operational model. Unlike commercial clinics that rely heavily on technicians, the center prioritizes direct surgeon involvement. Este Surgery leverages over 20 years of plastic and reconstructive surgery experience to minimize complications and maximize aesthetic results.

Dr. Alp Aslan, the founder of Este Surgery and a specialist in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery, shared his evaluation of the clinic’s practices and the impact of the DHI method.

“At Este Surgery, we conduct all our processes within a fully equipped hospital infrastructure that complies with international accreditation standards. However, technology is only as good as the hands that use it. In a market saturated with high-volume operations, our competitive edge lies in our refusal to compromise medical ethics for speed. We treat hair restoration as a form of microsurgical art that requires a plastic surgeon’s perspective, not just a procedure.”

DHI technology helps us minimize the amount of time that grafts spend outside the body, thereby preserving follicle viability. Specifically, using smooth-surfaced sapphire blades instead of metal slits in our protocols reduces tissue trauma and bleeding risks. Our combination of advanced technology and decades of surgical experience ensures results that align naturally with our patients’ anatomy, setting a higher standard for safety and aesthetics.

Dr. Aslan is a proud representative of Turkey’s medical expertise on the global stage as a member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and the European Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ESHRS).

Bridging Distances: Free Online Consultation and Assessment

Este Surgery recognizes the logistical challenges faced by international patients and offers a comprehensive, complimentary online consultation service. Prospective patients can submit photographs through the clinic’s secure digital platform for a preliminary medical evaluation, eliminating the need to travel. This pre-surgical assessment allows the medical team to design a personalized treatment plan, determine the patient’s suitability for the S-DHI technique, and provide transparent graft estimation. This enables patients to make informed decisions before arriving in Istanbul.

About Este Surgery

Founded by Dr. Alp Aslan, a member of the ISHRS and ESHRS, Este Surgery is an international medical center based in Istanbul that specializes in plastic surgery and advanced hair transplant techniques. The clinic provides high-standard medical services to thousands of patients every year by combining innovative techniques such as S-DHI and Sapphire DHI with personalized treatment protocols.

Wake Radiology Moves its Chapel Hill Office to the Timberlyne Neighborhood




Wake Radiology Moves its Chapel Hill Office to the Timberlyne Neighborhood

New footprint offers a modern, conveniently accessible facility primed for continued office growth

RALEIGH, N.C., Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wake Radiology UNC Health Rex, the largest outpatient imaging provider in the Triangle, today announced plans to move its Chapel Hill office from its current location on S. Estes Drive to 120 Banks Drive, Suite 110, in the Timberlyne neighborhood of Chapel Hill. The move, made possible through the purchase of an existing suite previously owned by Raleigh Radiology, minimizes the threat of future service disruption due to flooding, enabling greater continuity of care for the Chapel Hill community.

“Following the flooding of our S. Estes facility due to Tropical Storm Chantal, we have been evaluating opportunities to safeguard our service offerings so patients can continue to receive the essential imaging they need,” said Dr. Brent Townsend, President and Managing Partner, Wake Radiology. “This new location on Banks Drive offers full-service care, the potential for expanded service capabilities, and a state-of-the-art location that is convenient and accessible to the Chapel Hill community.”

Situated on the first floor of 120 Banks Drive, Wake Radiology’s new facility features EV charging stations and a bicycle storage room, as well as easy access from the I-40 corridor. The office will offer similar services to its current offerings, including 3D screening mammography, 3D diagnostic mammography, ultrasound, breast ultrasound, bone density (DXA), MRI, and walk-in X-ray. Additional service offerings will be shared as they become available.

“We are excited to offer our patients the same excellent radiology services they have come to know and trust in a new, modern facility,” said Parul Galloway, Chief Operating Officer, Wake Radiology. “We are thankful to Raleigh Radiology for working with our team on this solution, allowing us to re-establish key imaging services that benefit the patient and provider community in Chapel Hill.” 

Wake Radiology’s new location is set to open in January 2026. The existing location on S. Estes Drive will continue to operate until the transition to the new facility is completed, ensuring no disruption to scheduled patient exams.
