Property Staging Consultants is a professional organization specializing in the training of real estate professionals and other interested individuals in the art of "Home Staging." Graduates of PSC courses will be issued a certificate as a Property Staging Consultant ™, and this official PSC™ designation will provide added credibility with clients. What is your perception of staging? Professionally trained home stagers know that they are dealing with a client’s needs to prepare a given property to appeal to the market conditions here and now. During our many hears of staging homes nationwide, and training others to stage properties for faster sales and maximum return, PSC has refined the true meaning of staging – and it is much more than simply addressing the concept of initial or “surface” appeal. PSC training programs will give students in-depth instruction in the first Four Key Elements of home staging that must precede the Fifth Key Element, in which the appeal or actual "staging" of the home is achieved.

Help, I need a Doctor

CityBlogKS — Mon, 28 May 2007 08:15:30 +0000

Wichita, Kansas has a hospital. Wichita has many medical professionals operating in a variety of specialties. Fundamental healthcare begins with an individual or family?s access to a general physician, call it a family doctor or for children, a Pediatrician and for women a Gynecologist. Certainly, for people like me, a good therapist; better yet, a Psychiatrist! But why is it that someone in Wichita, Kansas cannot locate a physician that will take new patients?
CityBlog Wichita, was struck by the frustration that was apparent in Susie Pena’s (a Wichita, Kansas resident) post on May 9, 2007, which read as follows:
I have been here 1 year this June and have yet to find a doctor that will accept new patients. I am very discouraged that there is no avenue for new residents to find out who is available without a lot of labor intensive efforts.
Does Wichita have a physician association or, does the hospital know of new physicians coming into Wichita that are looking for new patients? It would behoove all communities to have some centralized service that maintains a list of physicians who can accept patients as either â€œnewâ€ or on a rotating basis until the new resident can establish regular healthcare.
