Bizzell US Invests in the Next Generation of Stem Professionals

February 16, 2024 (Beaufort, SC) – Bizzell US (Bizzell) is proud to announce its latest collaboration with local and national leaders to support youth from diverse backgrounds pursuing careers in healthcare and medicine. As part of our ongoing commitment to equity across healthcare systems, Anton C. Bizzell, MD, Chairman & CEO, Bizzell, has partnered with The African American History Education Conference to lead important dialogue in Beaufort, South Carolina on the vital voices in medicine, leadership, and resilience in the African American community. The third annual African American History Education Conference, which is a historic collaborative effort, is sponsored by Beaufort County School District (BCSD), Technical College of the Lowcountry, University of South Carolina Beaufort, Penn Center, and the Gullah Geechie Cultural Heritage Corridor.

The African American History Education Conference aims to provide students, teachers, and staff with a transformative dive into the historical context of African American achievement through tours and engaging sessions led by locally and nationally renowned educators, authors, and entertainers. Keynote speaker Michael Boulware Moore, U.S. Congressman Candidate for District 1, shared insights on his personal history of activism and public service during the day.

At Bizzell, we know that the future holds tremendous promise, and supporting the next generation of medical professionals is paramount to ensuring a healthier and brighter tomorrow. With over 1500 students in the MED Tech 7 initiative as part of BCSD’s Magnet Schools Assistance Program, BCSD’s continued focus is on science and technology education for students in grades K -12. This program provides courses to help students develop the necessary STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) career development skills. Through this collaboration, Bizzell offers practical resources to empower and encourage students as they explore future career pathways through several other initiatives, such as our national Job Corps program.

Job Corps, the nation’s most extensive residential job training program, prepares young adults, ages 16-24, with education and firsthand career training for entry-level positions that lead to careers in today’s workforce. Bizzell further displayed its commitment to the future of healthcare and workforce innovation by providing students in the Med Tech 7 with white lab coats and medical kits full of supplies.

By gifting these symbolic tools to students who may face adversity due to varying social determinants of health, Dr. Bizzell reaffirms his commitment to equity by fostering confidence and pride in their abilities as they enter the workforce.

“Our mission at Bizzell is to drive positive change and uplift communities in meaningful ways,” said Dr. Bizzell. “By honoring and supporting our young people pursuing vocational and technical careers in STEM we are investing in a better future.

All of these things are a part of nurturing their talent and assisting them with actualizing their dreams.”

The two identical projects located in the Odo Ayedun and Oke Ako communities have a standard borehole 328 feet deep supported by a solar powered pump of over 400 feet capacity. Each facility comprises a 5,000 liters capacity ground tank that first steps down the water received from the water table before transmitting through two fiber cylinder bottle water treatment plants, and then sends the water to the 10,000 liters overhead tank before delivery to the water point platform where individuals in the communities can then collect clean water. Both are powered by state of the art energy efficient solar panels.

Bizzell, in recognition of his contribution to the development of the community. Dr. Bizzell, an African-American who traces his ancestry to Nigeria through ancestry DNA testing was also named ‘Ọmọ́wálé’ and welcomed as a son of the community.

Erelu Bisi Fayemi, on behalf of the Government of Ekiti State, thanked Bizzell for the kind gesture and appealed to them to favorably consider scaling up the intervention to benefit more communities. In her words, “You will find the Government and people of Ekiti state – the land of honor – to be people of integrity, who will always follow through with commitments they make to you and ensure such interventions are protected and well maintained.”

Mr. Akin Rotimi, a community leader and facilitator of the project stated that “the initiative goes a long way in consolidating the cordial relationship between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the United States of America and is a demonstration of citizen diplomacy championed by well-meaning Americans in collaboration with Nigerians who have worked together to deliver the project”.

Bizzell Reveals Global Rebrand Ahead of 10 Year Anniversary

Bizzell Reveals Global Rebrand Ahead of 10 Year Anniversary

March 15, 2021 (New Carrollton, MD) The Bizzell Group (Bizzell), an award-winning strategy, technology, and consulting firm, announced today the launch of its new corporate brand identity and new logo design. This change comes at a time when the firm is expanding its global operations and repositioning its services to align with anticipated needs of future clients.

“Our rebranding is not just cosmetic—rather it reflects our mission of accelerating and enhancing the quality of life of the communities we serve,” said Anton C. Bizzell, M.D., President & CEO of Bizzell. “Our goal is to have a design that is realistic, remaining audacious yet intelligent. The new design is universal and will transcend across borders as we continue to expand globally.”

Designed to work effortlessly across communications channels, the new logo pulls visual cues from the original version for brand recognition, while adding modern touches that speak to Bizzell’s innovation and forward thinking.

“We took a risk by revamping a well-known and well-received visual in the space of government contracting,” said Trevis Cage, Director of Communications at Bizzell. “But that’s who Bizzell is, a risk taker that makes strategic moves, using data and industry-recognized expertise to elevate our clients’ brand identity to support their missions.”

Previously rigid and perpendicular, the new Bizzell “B” received a soft polish in which the breaks in that shape signify Bizzell’s diverse service offerings that help clients push beyond conventional ideas, amplifying their missions and accelerating change. The Brand colors and typology are directly connected to Bizzell’s core values. Orange reinforces the ideals of success, determination, and vitality. Hues of Grey provide balance and represent intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. The addition of White provides a complimentary tone of simplicity, safety, and trust. The text has smooth edges which aligns with the organization’s brand essence/culture of being unpretentious, down-to-earth, and loyal to clients, staff, and partners.

Branding is essential to any organization’s strategic communication efforts. Bizzell offers scalable, high-impact communication solutions for a wide range of clients. Learn more about Bizzell’s Learning & Engagement offerings HERE.
