Syria is on the brink of a major political shift as opposition forces, spearheaded by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, have claimed significant victories across the country, most notably entering Damascus. This shocking advance marks the first time insurgents have reached the capital in five years. Reports indicate that President Bashar Assad has left Syria for an unknown destination, as the opposition continues its advances with little resistance from Syrian government forces. The rapid developments have triggered panic among Damascus residents, leading to widespread shortages and mass attempts to flee the country. The recent territorial gains by rebel forces have put Assad's regime in jeopardy and raised urgent calls for diplomatic talks. Foreign ministers from key nations, including Russia and Turkey, convened in Doha to explore potential avenues for a peaceful resolution to what has become a rapidly escalating conflict.

More than half of the total funds raised during the corporate social responsibility (CSR) campaign were provided as a company match to support the American Red Cross' hurricane response. "As Americans gather to give thanks and celebrate this holiday season, we know that many others are still struggling to rebuild from the devastating loss of back-to-back hurricanes,” said CEO Todd Stottlemyer.

I am thankful to work alongside so many who live out our company's core value of passionately serving our communities.” The company's Acentra Health Cares program invited employees to support the hurricane relief campaign in two meaningful ways, either by donating to a hurricane relief cause of their choosing or by volunteering with organizations that align with the company's core value of passionately serving local communities.

In response, Acentra Health matched employee donations and donated a set dollar amount for each volunteer activity, further amplifying the positive impact on affected communities.
