Cross Medical Group Introduces HydraFacial Treatments for Advanced Skin Rejuvenation
The Philadelphia Area Team is Offering a New, Highly Customizable Skin Resurfacing Option Starting This Spring
PHILADELPHIA and VILLANOVA, Pa., May 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cross Medical Group is pleased to announce that HydraFacial treatments are now available at the practice. A HydraFacial at their Philadelphia and Villanova offices, which is sometimes referred to as 'hydradermabrasion,' is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that provides a renewed glow to your complexion through a combination of deep cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration, along with the infusion of customized serums that are designed to deeply nourish the skin. This non-invasive, medical-grade skin treatment improves many common skincare concerns with no side effects and little to no downtime.
Environmental or lifestyle factors can result in the accumulation of dead skin cells, causing your skin to appear dull, lifeless, or flaky when not removed effectively. Moreover, as your skin ages, it becomes thinner, and accumulated sun damage over the years can contribute to a loss of radiance. A HydraFacial can be ideal for removing the dead skin, debris, and oils that can build up on the outer surface of the skin. There are three main steps involved: cleansing, extraction, and hydration. In addition to removing dirt and impurities, HydraFacials also help to boost circulation.
HydraFacial patients may notice brighter and smoother skin with fewer acne breakouts after the procedure, and these results can last for up to one month or more. This gentle, highly versatile, and well-tolerated facial rejuvenation treatment is beneficial for patients of all ages, skin types, and skin tones, at any time of the year. The serums that are infused into the pores during a HydraFacial are tailored to address the specific needs of each patient. They provide plumper, deeply hydrated, and nourished skin.
Cross Medical Group also offers many surgical cosmetic treatments for the face, breast, and body, along with other non-surgical treatments including minimally invasive injectables, skin rejuvenation and resurfacing options, lasers and lights, and body contouring procedures at their offices in Philadelphia and Villanova. Their team is committed to the utmost safety and high-quality results.
For more information about HydraFacials, contact Cross Medical Group. Call their office in Philadelphia (215) 561-9100 or Main Line's Villanova (610) 688-9100. You can also send a message online to request a consultation.Sign in to access your portfolio

Amid cost pressures, US employers are shifting their benefit strategy, WTW survey finds
More companies expanding choice, tackling high cost and reallocating benefit spend NEW YORK, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As U.S. employers grapple with heightened economic uncertainty and greater financial pressures on budgets, steering the right course on benefit strategy is more challenging than ever. This is according to a survey by WTW (NASDAQ: WTW), a leading global advisory, broking and solutions company. As a result, companies are turning to smarter spending, sharper focus and using benefits as a strategic tool to drive engagement, retention and purpose. The 2025 Benefits Trends Survey found rising benefit costs to be the top issue (90%) influencing U.S. employers' benefit strategies in 2025, up from 67% in 2023. Other top concerns include competition for talent (52%), expectations for an enhanced employee experience (43%), cost of living (39%) and rising mental health issues (32%). 'After a long period of high benefits inflation and in the face of a possibly weakening economy, employers are taking a step back and looking to focus on what drives real value for employees and the business. That means targeting support and spending on the benefits that matter most, enabling personalization and helping employees make better decisions,' said Jeff Levin-Scherz, Population Health Leader, North America, Health & Benefits. As the cost of medical care continues to show double digit growth in the U.S., employers face greater challenges in delivering their strategy in key areas such as health benefits (44%), wellbeing programs (44%), and leave benefits (36%). To address these concerns, employers are shifting their strategy. Few are expanding their benefit portfolio, choosing to instead focus on extracting value from their current offerings and improve financing, employee experience, analytics and administration. Compared to just 8% in the past year, 63% of employers plan to reallocate or rebalance spend in the next three years. A majority (73%) plan to tackle high costs by enhancing value or switch to better-value vendors across health, retirement and risk benefits. Just under half (44%) plan to tackle high-cost medical conditions and 37% plan to adopt a network of preferred medical providers. Eager to address employee pressure points, companies are also looking to improve the following priority areas over the next three years: maximizing value, mental health, health benefits, financial wellbeing and family support. Many plan to increase their use of communication and use nudges and navigation solutions to influence behaviors and enhance the employee experience. Regularly reviewing vendor performance, including employee feedback, is also a key action employers are taking. 'Organizations are facing more pressure than ever to deliver the right benefits strategy. Finding innovative solutions for old and new challenges and reallocating spend on benefits that deliver true value is a good start. There is still a long way to go to address these pressure points, but employers are headed in the right direction by focusing on what matters most to their employees,' said Levin-Scherz. About the survey The 2025 Benefit Trends Survey was conducted from early March to mid-April. Respondents include 696 U.S. employers, representing a broad range of industries in both the private and public sector. About WTW At WTW (NASDAQ: WTW), we provide data-driven, insight-led solutions in the areas of people, risk and capital.

Minnesota Health Market Review 2025: HMOs Suffer $1 Billion Revenue Loss as Enrollment Drops
HMO profitability plunged in 2024, with enrollee numbers dropping by 168,000. Medicaid managed care plans saw significant losses, with premium revenues declining by over $1 billion. However, Medicare Advantage plans grew by 8.7%. Part One of the 2025 Minnesota Health Market Review details these shifts, with Part Two focusing on hospital systems. Dublin, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Minnesota Health Market Review 2025 (Part 1)" report has been added to offering. HMO profitability plunged in 2024, as HMOs and County-Based Purchasing plans reported lower revenues, higher medical expenses and large losses on operations. The number of enrollees in Medicaid managed care plans dropped by about 207,000 in 2023 and 2024, although it is still higher than before the COVID-19 pandemic. The analyst reports on these and other findings in Part One of Minnesota Health Market Review 2025. This is the 36th edition of the report, which was first published in 1990. The new report finds that: Total enrollment in HMOs and County-Based Purchasing (CBP) plans dropped by 168,000 or 9.7% in 2024. While membership in Medicare Advantage plans grew by 8.7%, enrollment in Medicaid and other state programs decreased by 15%, as the state completed re-evaluating the eligibility of Medicaid recipients. As enrollment dropped, premium revenues for HMOs dropped by more than $1 billion, or 6.5%. However, their medical costs increased, and they had combined underwriting losses of $1.067 billion. UCare had the largest underwriting losses at $606.5 million, followed by HealthPartners ($170.9 million) and Medica Health Plans ($154.3 million). Hennepin Health had underwriting losses of $56.2 million. Most of the losses were in two key lines of business: Medicaid and other public programs and Medicare Advantage. HMOs and county plans lost $640.4 million on Medicaid plans in 2024 after reporting underwriting profits of $367.8 million in 2023 and $726.5 million in 2022, their best results ever. Even with the large losses in 2024, Medicaid plans have posted underwriting income of $939.5 million in the last 10 years. That includes the results for Minnesota Senior Health Options, a managed care program for beneficiaries of both Medicare and Medicaid, where the health plans have reported combined underwriting income of $720.3 million in the last nine years. Enrollment in Medicare Advantage plans has grown steadily since 2016, but they have not been profitable in Minnesota since 2022. In 2024, UCare lost $266.7 million on its Medicare Advantage plans, including $102.3 million in reserves set aside in anticipation of future revenue shortfalls. It already spent $47 million from that reserve in the first quarter of 2025 but still lost $25.5 million. Other health plans reported improved results in the first three months of 2025. Data from 2023 show that 96% of Minnesotans have health insurance, but that is likely to drop sharply if the budget bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives is enacted. Cuts to Medicaid are projected to result in about 253,000 Minnesotans losing Medicaid benefits. Changes to subsidies sold on the MNsure exchange, where individual enrollment has grown to 167,000, will likely result in thousands losing coverage.
