Dr. Katie Zippel Unveils Pioneering Research on Social Prescribing for Cancer Care
NSW, Australia, 3rd May 2025 – Dr. Katie Zippel, a respected general practitioner and DPhil candidate at Oxford University, has introduced pioneering research that sheds light on the role of social prescribing in cancer care. Her latest study, soon to be published in a leading peer-reviewed journal, highlights how non-medical interventions can significantly enhance the well-being and long-term health outcomes of individuals living with cancer.
With both professional expertise and personal experience as a breast cancer survivor, Dr. Zippel brings a unique perspective to this research. Her study explores how integrating social support systems, lifestyle medicine, and community-driven initiatives into primary healthcare can improve the overall survivorship experience for cancer patients.
Social prescribing is a revolutionary healthcare approach that enables medical professionals to refer patients to non-medical services that support mental, emotional, and physical well-being. These services include arts-based therapies, exercise programmes, gardening projects, and community-based support groups.

Dr. Zippel’s research emphasizes that cancer treatment should go beyond conventional medicine and include holistic interventions that help patients cope with the psychological and social challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. Her study presents strong evidence that structured social prescribing programmes significantly reduce stress, enhance emotional resilience, and improve overall quality of life.
Key Findings from the Research
Dr. Zippel’s study explores the tangible benefits of social prescribing by analysing patient experiences across various healthcare settings, including hospitals and community clinics. The research identifies several key findings that underscore the impact of these programmes:
- Improved Mental Health: Patients engaged in social prescribing activities reported a 40% decrease in anxiety and depression symptoms compared to those receiving conventional treatment alone.
- Stronger Social Connections: Over 70% of participants noted significant improvements in social engagement, reducing their sense of isolation.
- Enhanced Physical Well-being: Patients who participated in prescribed exercise programmes experienced increased mobility, better energy levels, and overall improved health.
- Better Treatment Adherence: Patients involved in non-medical support activities demonstrated greater commitment to their medical treatments and healthier lifestyle choices.
- Long-Term Health Benefits: Individuals participating in social prescribing programmes were more likely to maintain a healthier lifestyle post-treatment, reducing the risk of cancer recurrence.
Bridging the Gap Between Medicine and Community Support
One of the core messages of Dr. Zippel’s research is the importance of bridging clinical medicine with community-based support systems. While medical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation are essential in combating cancer, addressing the social determinants of health—such as loneliness, mental well-being, and financial stress—can play an equally crucial role in recovery.
A key innovation within Dr. Zippel’s work is her focus on narrative medicine, an approach that utilises storytelling to foster understanding, connection, and empowerment among cancer patients. By encouraging patients to share their experiences, she is helping create a more compassionate and patient-centred healthcare model.
A Global Call for Change in Cancer Survivorship Care
The findings from Dr. Zippel’s research have far-reaching implications for healthcare policies worldwide. As medical systems search for sustainable ways to improve cancer survivorship care, her work provides strong evidence supporting the expansion of social prescribing initiatives.
Going forward, Dr. Zippel aims to collaborate with global healthcare providers and policymakers to integrate social prescribing into mainstream medical practices, ensuring more patients have access to holistic, community-driven care.
A Personal Mission for Healthcare Innovation
For Dr. Zippel, this research is more than an academic pursuit—it is a deeply personal mission. As a breast cancer survivor, she understands firsthand the challenges of navigating treatment and recovery. Her lived experience has inspired her dedication to advancing equitable healthcare solutions, particularly for underserved and rural communities.
Beyond research, Dr. Zippel is actively engaged in primary healthcare delivery as part of a multidisciplinary team. Her work spans rural general practice, mental health support, and public health research, all aimed at bridging clinical medicine with social support systems to improve patient outcomes.
A Vision for Holistic Wellness
Through her online platform and research initiatives, Dr. Zippel explores the connection between daily habits, community engagement, and overall health. She shares insights on lifestyle medicine, disease prevention, and the power of human connection in healthcare. Her blog serves as an educational hub, featuring personal narratives, health education posts, and evidence-based research from leading medical journals.
To further her mission, Dr. Zippel plans to introduce video content and interactive discussions, allowing patients and healthcare professionals to engage with her research more directly. By blending storytelling with science, she hopes to make medical knowledge more accessible and relatable.
Join the Movement: Advocating for Social Prescribing
Dr. Katie Zippel’s groundbreaking research is leading a global shift in how cancer care is approached. She urges healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers to recognise the transformative impact of social prescribing in improving cancer survivorship.
By advocating for these innovative, community-centred healthcare solutions, Dr. Zippel is setting the stage for a future where cancer care is not only about medical treatment but also about fostering holistic healing and support networks that prioritise the well-being of every patient.

A Omega Fence Company Introduces New Durable Vinyl and Aluminum Fence Line with Enhanced Warranty
A Omega Fence Company unveils a new line of durable vinyl and aluminum fences with an enhanced warranty, combining long-lasting quality with the best pricing and reliable service
Sicklerville, NJ, 28th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, A Omega Fence Company, a leader in residential and commercial fencing solutions in South Jersey for over 35 years, today announced the launch of a new line of durable vinyl and aluminum fences backed by an industry-leading enhanced warranty. The new offering underscores the company’s commitment to delivering quality, affordability, and reliable service to homeowners and business owners alike.
“As a company built on decades of service, we know that customers want more than a fence—they want confidence that their investment will endure. Our new vinyl and aluminum line provides the toughest materials and the most comprehensive warranty in our market, so property owners can rest easy knowing their fence is protected for years to come.”
The new product line expands on A Omega Fence Company’s existing portfolio of fencing materials—vinyl, metal, wood, and aluminum—by emphasizing long-term performance and peace of mind. The fences are engineered to resist common issues such as fading, chipping, cracking, and corrosion, while offering low maintenance and improved lifespan. In addition, A Omega is pairing the release with an improved warranty package, covering manufacturing defects, structural issues, and workmanship over an extended period beyond standard offerings in the region.
Their vinyl fencing options already resist “fading, chipping, and cracking,” making them ideal for homeowners seeking durability with minimal maintenance. Their aluminum fencing is noted for resistance to rust and corrosion, positioning it as a smart choice in climates with variable weather or near coastal areas. By combining these advantages with stronger guarantees, A Omega Fence Company aims to set a new standard for value and reliability in the fencing industry.
The enhanced warranty will include coverage periods that exceed typical industry norms, in recognition of A Omega’s confidence in craftsmanship and materials. The company also continues offering free estimates, professional installation, and customization of fence height, color, and style to suit each project.
“Over the years, our clients have repeatedly told us that reliability and fair pricing matter most,” said a spokesperson for A Omega Fence Company. “We believe in offering the best pricing without compromising service quality. This new line is a natural extension of that promise: robust products, strong warranties, and the same personalized installation service customers trust.”
For many in the region, selecting a fence is about balancing aesthetic appeal, functionality, and long-term upkeep costs. A Omega’s new line positions both vinyl and aluminum as strong contenders. Vinyl fencing offers a virtually maintenance-free surface, while aluminum fencing combines elegance with structural strength—especially in areas susceptible to precipitation or humidity. The enhanced warranty ensures that customers are not left unprotected if material failure or installation issues arise over time.
As part of the launch, A Omega Fence Company is also ramping up its installation capacity across its service area, which includes Gloucester, Camden, Burlington, and Atlantic Counties in New Jersey. The company is already well known locally for reliable service and competitive pricing. On community platforms, neighbors have praised the company for “prices lower than any other estimate and reliable work.”
Homeowners and businesses interested in the new fence line can contact A Omega Fence Company for a no-obligation consultation and quote. The company continues to emphasize a client-first approach: from design and planning to permit assistance, installation, and post-installation support.

High Stakes and High Calories: Pros and Amateurs Face Off in Jacksonville Hotdog Eating Competition
Florida’s first-ever Clay County Hot Dog Festival brings fierce appetites, fun, and community pride to the table this October.
Clay County, FL, 28th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The buns are warming, the grills are firing, and competitors are gearing up for one of Florida’s most exhilarating culinary events — the Jacksonville Hot Dog Eating Competition, debuting this fall at the Clay County Fairgrounds.
For the first time ever, professional and amateur eaters will go head-to-head in a test of stamina, speed, and pure appetite. The competition, part of the inaugural Clay County Hot Dog Festival, promises to deliver an unforgettable weekend filled with family fun, live entertainment, and — of course — more hot dogs than most can handle.
Set against the backdrop of one of the most anticipated Clay County events in October 2025, the showdown will feature both seasoned competitors from the competitive eating circuit and local challengers eager to claim the title of Jacksonville’s ultimate top dog. With cash rewards, bragging rights, and festival glory on the line, every bite counts in this all-out hot dog eating competition.
“This event is about more than food — it’s about community, competition, and celebration,” said a spokesperson for the event organizers. “We wanted to bring something completely new to the region — a festival that’s as fun for families as it is thrilling for contestants. Whether you’re here to eat, cheer, or simply enjoy the energy, the Clay County Hot Dog Festival will have something for everyone.”
Unlike typical competitive eating events in 2025, this one blends the spectacle of high-stakes eating with local charm and family-friendly entertainment. Participants can register for the hotdog eating contest online or sign up for the eating competition at the festival gates.

The event will also feature special divisions for juniors and family teams, making it one of the most inclusive food competitions in Jacksonville. The winners of the main event will walk away with impressive hotdog eating contest prizes, but every participant — from first-timers to returning pros — will have a story worth sharing.
The Clay County Hot Dog Festival is designed to be more than just a competition — it’s a full weekend experience celebrating food, fun, and Florida culture. Guests can explore local vendors, artisan food stalls, and entertainment stages featuring live bands and performers. A kid-friendly zone will offer games, crafts, and mini eating contests for young participants, while foodies can indulge in gourmet twists on the classic hot dog from some of the region’s top culinary creators.
Festivalgoers can also grab hotdog eating contest tickets in advance to secure the best viewing spots near the main stage. Between rounds, attendees will enjoy cooking demos, condiment battles, and a “build-your-own-dog” station showcasing the creative possibilities of the all-American frank.
The Clay County Fairgrounds Hotdog Eating Contest marks a major milestone for the area, positioning it as one of North Florida’s most dynamic destinations for unique food challenges in 2025. With Jacksonville’s vibrant food scene and Clay County’s strong community ties, the event aims to become a signature annual tradition drawing visitors from across the state.
Early buzz has already made the competition one of the most talked-about Jacksonville food competitions of the year. Between the live music, friendly rivalries, and mouthwatering festival eats, the stage is set for Clay County to host an unforgettable weekend that combines hometown charm with national-level spectacle.
