San Francisco, CA, 8th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Greenstar ATM, a top provider of compliant financial infrastructure for cannabis retailers, has launched an advanced hybrid payment system that addresses one of the most persistent operational headaches in cannabis retail: cash bottlenecks at checkout.

With more consumers expecting to pay by card, dispensaries relying solely on cash transactions increasingly face slow lines, security concerns, and inefficient back-office processes. Greenstar ATM’s new tech solution merges in-store ATM placement, compliant PIN debit card processing, and real-time POS integration to streamline operations and give customers a smoother checkout experience.

“Too many cannabis stores are losing revenue because they can’t move people through the line fast enough,” said aspokesmanfor Greenstar ATM. “We’ve created a system that eliminates that pressure—one that helps dispensaries operate more efficiently while staying fully compliant.”

This new technology is part of Greenstar ATM’s nationwide effort to provide customized dispensary financial solutions that align with consumer expectations and state-level cannabis regulations. The integrated system allows for Cannabis ATM placement inside stores, backed by PIN debit processing that lets customers pay with their cards legally, without relying on risky third-party services or workaround payment models.

The company’s latest rollout reflects the broader shift toward cashless and hybrid cannabis checkout systems, especially in high-traffic dispensaries where long wait times can cost thousands in lost sales each month. Greenstar ATM’s platform is built around Cannabis cash card compliance, ensuring each component—from ATM transaction logs to debit card processing—is audit-ready and tailored to the laws of each legal recreational state.

By integrating Cannabis ATM processing with card systems that operate within financial regulations, dispensaries gain:

• Shorter lines and higher throughput during peak hours

• Increased average basket sizes through card-enabled upsells

• Fewer issues with armored pickups and back-office reconciliations

• Access to 24/7 customer and technical support

• Legal, transparent payment flows that boost credibility with customers and regulators

Greenstar ATM also offers Cannabis dispensary ATM leasing, custom financial solutions for cannabis retailers, and secure ATM cash handling for cannabis businesses—all with optional profit-sharing models and maintenance support. The company provides compliant payment processing across all legal states, supporting cannabis retailers looking to scale responsibly. With merchant services and banking alternatives designed specifically for cannabis, Greenstar helps stores reduce compliance risks and scale with confidence.

With over 15 years of experience and clients nationwide, Greenstar ATM remains a key player in cannabis dispensary payment solutions, helping businesses adapt to the evolving legal and financial landscape. Greenstar ATM also supports Point-of-Banking (POB) solutions for dispensaries seeking flexible and compliant ways to offer card-like payments without traditional merchant accounts.

Nashville, Tennessee, 8th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, On Tuesday, the Edgehill community came together in unity and purpose for National Night Out Against Crime, an annual event promoting neighborhood camaraderie and strengthening relationships between law enforcement and the community. Held on August 5th, the event was attended by dozens of residents, families, and officers from the Midtown Hills Precinct—alongside a unique presence: the Volunteer Ministers, who were on hand delivering help to those in need.

Wearing their signature yellow shirts, the Volunteer Ministers provided Assists—simple yet powerful techniques developed by humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, that help bring relief from stress, injury, or trauma. Community members who received an Assist reported feeling calmer, lighter, and more energized afterward.

“We’re here to support the community in practical ways,” said one Volunteer Minister. “Whether it’s offering physical relief, emotional support, or simply lending a hand, our goal is to help.”

National Night Out is a nationwide initiative that fosters partnerships between neighbors and law enforcement to make neighborhoods safer and more caring places to live. The Edgehill event featured food, music, family-friendly activities, and valuable resources from local organizations.

The Volunteer Ministers, a program of the Church of Scientology, are a global force for good in times of disaster and in everyday life. Their participation in National Night Out highlighted their ongoing commitment to uplifting and serving the Nashville community.

Atlanta, GA, 8th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Anand Lalaji, co-founder and CEO of The Radiology Group, is using his latest feature interview—“Anand Lalaji on Building Trust in Healthcare Leadership”—to raise urgent awareness for two critical healthcare issues: mental health support for clinicians and access to radiology services in rural communities.

In the wide-ranging Q&A, Lalaji shares how his working-class upbringing in Hell’s Kitchen and his experience as a volleyball setter shaped a leadership style rooted in consistency, humility, and trust. But beyond his personal story, he offers a frank assessment of the challenges facing healthcare today.

“Burnout is real,” Lalaji says. “Radiologists are reading more studies than ever, with tighter timelines. And in rural areas, many hospitals simply don’t have enough staff. That’s where the system is breaking down.”

Burnout in Radiology Is Reaching a Tipping Point

A recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology found that 49% of radiologists report symptoms of burnout, up from 36% a decade ago. The pressure to maintain speed and accuracy—especially in remote or overnight shifts—is straining even the most experienced professionals.

“You don’t always get praised,” Lalaji explains. “But people are trusting you with their lives. That weight adds up.”

To address this, Lalaji advocates for better support structures in medical practice, including sustainable scheduling, peer support, and a renewed focus on mission-driven work.

Closing the Rural Care Gap

According to the National Rural Health Association, nearly 60 million Americans live in rural areas, where access to specialised care like radiology is often limited or delayed. Lalaji sees teleradiology as a bridge—not a replacement—for traditional services.

“We built our group to support under-resourced hospitals, not replace them,” he explains. “It’s about making sure no patient gets overlooked because of geography.”

Empowering Women Through Sport and Supporting Mental Health

In the interview, Lalaji also discusses his foundation’s work supporting women’s leadership in sport, particularly volleyball, and mental health initiatives.

“As a volleyball setter, I wasn’t the one scoring,” he shares. “I was the one setting others up to do their best. That shaped how I lead, and how I support others—especially young women—finding confidence in sport.”

On mental health, Lalaji is direct:

“In healthcare, we see people struggling in silence all the time. It deserves more open dialogue and serious support.”

What Individuals Can Do

Rather than pointing fingers at systems, Lalaji encourages individuals to take ownership where they can:

• Check in with colleagues who may be experiencing burnout or stress.
  

• Support local mental health resources through donations or volunteering.
  

• Mentor young professionals—especially women—in healthcare or sport.
  

• Encourage rural investment by backing organisations that serve remote communities.
  

“Success isn’t about one big moment,” Lalaji says. “It’s about small, reliable actions over time.”
