VitalTrax LLC, DBA PatientWing is pleased to announce they joined Pledge 1%, a global movement to create a new normal for companies of all sizes and stages to have a positive social impact through their business. PatientWing joins over 12,000 companies around the world who have committed to Pledge 1% of either their product, profit, equity, and/or staff time to charities of their choosing.
"Serving others and helping people is one of the reasons I wanted to work at PatientWing. I'm grateful to work at a company who actively supports giving back to the community and creates space for that intentionally," said Renee Roberts, Project Manager at PatientWing, and head of the Pledge 1% for the company.
In 2022, PatientWing donated funds to World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit committed to providing meals to those in need after natural disasters and humanitarian crises; the funds were specifically earmarked for World Central Kitchen's efforts to feed those impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine in March of this year. In Q2, the company donated their time to support the work of MANNA through food preparation for the organization. MANNA is a Philadelphia-based nonprofit providing healthy meals to those suffering from serious illness.
PatientWing supported The Lincoln Center, a nonprofit in the Philadelphia area, with a financial donation in Q3 to support their innovative services for individuals and families. In late September, PatientWing staff volunteered at Broad Street Ministry's Sanctuary Lunch Service, serving meals to those in need. Broad Street Ministry is committed to helping Philadelphians living in deep poverty stabilize their lives through meals and social services.
"Our mission at PatientWing is to transform how patients participate in clinical trials and help bring new medicines to market faster and improve the quality of life for many in the process. Our employees are passionate about our mission, and their passion to help others extends to their communities and beyond. Our 1% pledge is the company's commitment to support those efforts," said Zikria Syed, Co-founder and CEO.

Christopher de Leon sa hidwaan nina Lotlot at Ian: 'Ayokong makialam'
Nagbigay na ng pahayag si Christopher de Leon tungkol sa pinag-uusapang alitan nina Ian de Leon at Lotlot de Leon. Sa isang panayam kay Ogie Diaz, nilinaw ni Christopher de Leon na nakausap na niya nang magkahiwalay ang kanyang mga anak. Gayunman, sinabi ng aktor na hindi niya pinipiling makialam pa sa kanilang isyu bilang respeto sa magkabilang panig, gayundin sa kanilang yumaong ina na si Superstar Nora Aunor. " Ayokong makialam because ang pinag-aawayan nila is the mom, the mother," ani ng aktor. "And pinag-aawayan nila is a sort of a foundation na it involves funding, whatever. 'Pag ganyan, ayoko nang makialam." READ: Lotlot de Leon, may buwelta kay Ian de Leon: 'Bakit puro kasinungalingan ang mga lumalabas sa bibig mo?' Dagdag ni Christopher, ayaw niyang makadagdag pa sa gulo, lalo na kung mauuwi ito sa pampublikong usapin. "Nandito na ako sa stage ng buhay ko na, 'Bakit ako tatalak, bakit ako magsasalita ng mga bagay na ipaalam ko sa lahat?' Kung meron akong gustong sabihin, sasabihin ko sa'yo nang diretso. Sasabihin ko kay Lot lang nang diretso. Sasabihin ko kay Ian nang diretso. 'Mali ka. Ito 'yan. Ikaw mali. Bahala kayo. Malaki na kayo pareho. Alam niyo na ang dapat niyong gawin kung mag-aaway kayo.'" Bilang magulang, umaasa naman si Christopher de Leon na darating ang panahon na magkakaayos din ang kanyang mga anak. "Siguro one day magkakaayos 'yan. Definitely one day magkakaayos 'yan. Hindi naman puwedeng hindi. Hindi ko rin naman papayagan na hindi puwede magkaayos. But by the grace of God, magkaroon ng reconciliation 'yung dalawa," sabi niya. Sa ngayon, naghihintay muna si Christopher ng tamang panahon para mas makausap ang dalawa. "Kasi masyadong mainit ngayon eh. Kasi 'pag pumasok ka doon sa heat ng gulo, lalong gugulo eh.Tapos mapi-pickup na ni ganito. Mapi-pickup na ni ganoon. Tapos lalaki na. Tapos lalabas na sa diyaro at sa postings. Iba na 'yung sasabihin nito. Iba na. Mami-misinterpret na kayong lahat," paliwanag niya. READ: Ian de Leon, sinagot ang mga paratang ni Lotlot de Leon: 'Stop telling lies, especially to my Dad' Inamin din ni Christopher na nagulat siya sa "biglang pag-iba ng ihip ng hangin" sa magkakapatid matapos pumanaw ang kanilang ina. "Marami sigurong nag-aaway tungkol sa [mga naiwan]. Kung ano man 'yun, bakit n'yo pinag-aawayan 'yung ganon? "They have their own reasons. They have their reasons why they're acting like that. So hindi mo mapapakialaman 'yon." Sa kabila ng lahat, sinabi ni Christopher na patuloy pa rin niyang pinananatili ang magandang relasyon sa kanyang mga anak. "I'm always in touch with regards to 'yung personal postings about, you know, my love for them. Walang sablay 'yun. I mean, papadalan ko siya ng ganito, papadalan ko siya ng ganito. Basta tuloy 'yung relationship namin," aniya. Naging mag-asawa sina Christopher de Leon at Nora Aunor noong 1975 at nagkaroon sila ng anak na si Ian. Lumaki ang kanilang pamilya nang ampunin nila sina Lotlot, Matet, Kiko at Kenneth. Gayunpaman, nilinaw ni Christopher na pantay-pantay ang pagmamahal niya sa lahat ng kanyang mga anak bilang isang ama. Naghiwalay sina Christopher at Nora noong 1996, bago niya ikinasal si Sandy Andolong noong 2001. Pumanaw naman si Nora Aunor noong 2025 dahil sa acute respiratory failure.
