OH Podiatrist Joins Republican CGCN Group
Former Rep. Brad Wenstrup, DPM is joining CGCN Group as a strategic partner, adding another big name to the all-GOP lobbying and public affairs firm that has seen business grow significantly since Republicans won control of Washington. Dr. Wenstrup, a 67-year-old former podiatrist and Army reservist, retired from Congress in January after 12 years representing Ohio’s 2nd Congressional District. CGCN founder Steve Clark recruited Wenstrup.
 |
|
Dr. Brad Wenstrup |
Dr. Wenstrup told NOTUS he has no plans to register to lobby. Members of Congress are subject to a “cooling off” period that bars them from lobbying their former colleagues for one year after they leave office, although that does not prohibit them from providing advice and expertise to others who do.

Query: Source for Dremel 3000 Nail Grinder
We bought this nail grinder somewhere almost 10 years ago. It’s a great grinder; the main benefits are the large dust intake and very flexible hose, as well as the affordability of the system, as the only custom part is the Dremel attachment and the air hose.

Dremel 3000 Nail Grinder |
I’ve searched for hours and can’t find another one. Can anybody help me source another couple of these?

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (APMA NEWS) | |
From: Ron Freireich, DPM
I think one of the many problems that our profession is facing is that APMA considers this a "Win". Let me remind some of our younger colleagues what happened in 2013. The Medicare Sequestration happened. The Medicare Sequestration is a budget control measure that reduces Medicare payments to providers by a set percentage, currently 2% under the Budget Control Act.
Starting in 2026 (yes, the same year as our Medicare fee schedule "Win"), this reduction may increase to 6% due to an additional 4% cut under Statutory PAYGO rules, unless Congress intervenes. So now, if one does the complicated math, 4.5% ("Win") minus 6% sequestration reduction equals -1.5%. A negative number doesn't sound much like a "Win" to me. And let me remind everyone that the 2.5% payment increase for 2026 is temporary and sunsets at the end of that year, but the sequestration reduction has been ongoing for the last 12 years.

RE: The Passing of Kevin J. Moran, Sr., DPM
With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Kevin J. Moran, Sr. of Westminster, MA on November 3, 2025. He passed away at Brigham and Women's Hospital surrounded by his loving wife and children. He held a Doctorate Degree from the Illinois College of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago, IL, and was a respected member of his profession, having served as the President of the Massachusetts Podiatry Association.
 |
|
Dr. Kevin Moran, Sr |
For more than 35 years, Kevin devoted his career to the practice of podiatry. He opened a private practice in 1978 in Leominster, MA, and later became a part of the Fallon Clinic/Reliant Medical Group. His service to his profession was only exceeded by his commitment to his community. He was an active member of the Lions Club International in Westminster, MA, and the Rotary Club in Leominster, MA.

RE: The Passing of Herman Lisle Snyder, Jr., DPM
Dr. Herman Snyder, 79, was a retired podiatrist known by all as “Snyder.” He graduated from the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1973.
 |
|
Dr. Herman Snyder, Jr |
During his travels to Georgia from Pennsylvania, he got lost in the fog and ended up in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, where he met Dr. Charles DaVant at a Rotary Club meeting. Dr. DaVant convinced Snyder to open a practice in Blowing Rock, NC. There he served as Blowing Rock mayor, a member of the City Council, Rotary Club president and, his favorite, the International Rotary Exchange Program. He was lovingly known by all as “Boss Hog.”
