Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, A Visionary’s Enduring Legacy on His 2025 Birthday Celebration
As the world commemorates the 114th birthday of L. Ron Hubbard on March 13, 2025, his multifaceted legacy as an explorer, best-selling author, and founder of Scientology continues to resonate globally. His pioneering work in human potential, literacy, drug rehabilitation, and criminal reform has profoundly impacted societies worldwide.
In addition to his work as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard stands as among the world’s most enduring and widely read authors, with international sales of way over fifty million and a body of work spanning fifty years. Accordingly, and in testament to the magnitude of his literary oeuvre and legacy, there are his four Guinness World Records: most published author, most translated author, the author with the most audiobook titles and the single most translated non-religious work.

A Lifelong Commitment to Humanitarian Work
Beyond his literary and philosophical contributions, Mr Hubbard dedicated his work to practical solutions that improved lives. His advancements in learning and literacy, encapsulated in his Study Technology, have reached over thirty million students in 70 countries. His influence in education is widely recognized, earning him official recognitions from, among others, the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico.
His “Way to Happiness,” a non-religious moral code aimed at fostering ethical living, has reached nearly a billion individuals in over two hundred nations. “The impact of this initiative was acknowledged through awards such as the Pioneer Environmentalist Award from the Earth Society Foundation in New York and the Certificate of Commendation from the City of Washington, D.C.” said Ivan Arjona, spokesperson of Scientology in Europe.
Transforming Lives Through Rehabilitation
Hubbard’s methodologies for drug rehabilitation have been globally adopted, with programs operating in more than fifty countries. A then member of the Swedish Parliament stated “The results that you obtain are impressive. It has been very positive and instructive to have met some of Narconon’s earlier clients, people who are free from their addiction and have been able to come back to normal work and family life.”
In the same line a Medical doctor from Spain said that “Narconon is effective in providing a workable alternative in rehabilitation through a uniquely structured program… As a doctor of medicine, I highly recommend the Narconon program to those addicted to drugs. Drug addicts go through the Narconon program and leave drug-free.”
Similarly, his work in criminal reform has changed lives in some of the world’s most notorious prisons. At South Africa’s Leeuwkop Prison, the implementation of Criminon—Hubbard’s rehabilitation program—drastically reduced violence, prompting inmates to present him with an award for his transformative influence. In Panama, his approach was officially recognized for its role in rehabilitating incarcerated individuals and reuniting families.
Aiding Those in Need: From 9/11 to Global Crises
Hubbard’s detoxification technology was instrumental in helping first responders recover from toxic exposure following the 9/11 attacks. The New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project used his ground-breaking methods to alleviate the suffering of firefighters and rescue workers exposed to hazardous dust and fumes. In gratitude, the NY City Fire Department bestowed upon Hubbard an Honorary New York Firefighter’s Helmet in 2003, recognizing his unwavering dedication to human well-being. His humanitarian contributions have also garnered numerous accolades, including the W.E.B. DuBois Outstanding Leadership Award from the NAACP.
Recent Recognitions (2020–2025)
In recent years, Hubbard’s enduring influence has been celebrated constantly and here are just but a few of the recognition that have been awarded for his works:
- Key to the City of Bay Head, New Jersey (2023): On March 8, 2023, Mayor William C. Curtis presented a Key to the City award to L. Ron Hubbard in recognition of his humanitarian work and contributions to mankind. Hubbard resided in Bay Head from September 1949 to April 1950, during which he authored the best-selling book “Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health.” The ceremony took place at his former residence, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
- Religious Freedom Awards 2024: On November 29, 2024, the Church of Scientology of Spain hosted the 11th edition of the Religious Freedom Awards in Madrid. The event honored individuals for their contributions to religious freedom and human rights. A special tribute was given to L. Ron Hubbard by a prestigious member of the Royal Academy of Law, for inspiring so many others on the importance of promoting and defending human rights.
- Writers and Illustrators of the Future 40th Anniversary (2024): In 2024, the Writers of the Future Contest, established by Hubbard, celebrated its 40th anniversary. The milestone was marked by over one hundred awards, proclamations, and letters of congratulations from various dignitaries and organizations, underscoring the contest’s significant impact on nurturing new talent in science fiction and fantasy.
- Religious Festivities Calendar of Spain: curated by the Government foundation Pluralism and Coexistence, at the Spain’s Ministry of Presidency, L Ron Hubbard’s birthday is included as one of the main religious festivities of Scientology, a commemoration which the foundation promotes in their website and social media to inform citizenship.
A Legacy That Continues to Grow
As Scientologists and friends have commemorated L. Ron Hubbard’s birthday in 2025 with more than one new recognition around the world for each of the last 365 days, his enduring legacy stands as a testament to his lifelong mission: to uplift humanity through knowledge, rehabilitation, and ethical living.
With thousands of recognitions and millions of lives touched, his influence is woven into the fabric of communities worldwide. Whether through education, drug rehabilitation, criminal reform, or disaster recovery, his impact remains as relevant today as it was decades ago.
In celebrating this milestone, “we acknowledge not just the man, but the transformative power of his ideas—ideas that continue to shape a better world for generations to come” said Ivan Arjona-Pelado, Scientology’s representative to the European institutions and the United Nations.
The Church of Scientology has established permanent centers worldwide to implement Hubbard’s solutions on a broad scale. These “generation plants” act as hubs for movements promoting morality, literacy, human rights eduction (United for Human Rights), drug prevention (Foundation for a Drug Free World), and rehabilitation. Scientologists actively participate in these initiatives as an expression of their religious beliefs and commitment to societal betterment.
Under the leadership of Scientology’s ecclesiastical leader, Mr. David Miscavige, the Church has embraced cutting-edge multimedia strategies to educate millions about its programs. This innovative approach has significantly expanded global awareness and demand for Hubbard’s technologies. Simultaneously, in a rapidly accelerating effort, Mr. Miscavige has spearheaded an ambitious restoration project to preserve and revitalize landmark sites where Mr. Hubbard achieved key milestones in the development of Scientology. These historic locations now stand as living testaments to the movement’s legacy, ensuring that future generations can experience and appreciate its origins firsthand.

Anand Lalaji Featured in Exclusive Interview on the Future of Radiology and Human-Centered Innovation
Georgia, US, 21st April 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Anand Lalaji, co-founder and CEO of The Radiology Group, was recently featured in a compelling and wide-ranging interview titled “Innovating the Future of Radiology: A Conversation with Anand Lalaji.” In this in-depth conversation, Lalaji offers a rare and thoughtful glimpse into his personal journey, his views on healthcare innovation, and how artificial intelligence can help shape a more human-centered future in medicine.
Raised in Hell’s Kitchen, New York, Lalaji credits his upbringing for instilling a strong sense of purpose and responsibility. With a mother who was an OB/GYN and a father who worked as a nuclear engineer, science and compassion were woven into his everyday life.
“I grew up in an environment where education and hard work were expected,” Lalaji says. “That shaped how I think and approach challenges.”
After completing his education at The Bronx High School of Science, Binghamton University, and SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Lalaji went on to train in radiology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and completed a fellowship at Wake Forest University. He now leads The Radiology Group, where he’s helping pioneer the use of AI to improve diagnostic accuracy and care delivery.
“Radiology is going through a renaissance, and AI is the catalyst,” Lalaji explains in the interview. “The goal isn’t to replace radiologists—it’s to empower them to do more, with better tools and better insight.”
Throughout the interview, Lalaji reflects on the early challenges of building a forward-thinking company in a field that can be slow to change. From outdated technology to cultural resistance, Lalaji shares how staying focused on values and communication helped shape a mission-driven team ready to lead.
“We faced resistance—not just from competitors, but from within the industry,” he says. “People want to know that innovation won’t compromise care. That’s why we focused on trust, transparency, and long-term thinking.”
Lalaji’s commitment to impact extends far beyond business. A devoted philanthropist, he supports women’s leadership in elite sports, mental health initiatives at Wake Forest University, and research for ALS, pancreatic, and pediatric cancers.
“These causes are personal to me,” he shares. “Philanthropy isn’t just about writing checks. It’s about giving your time, voice, and influence to move ideas forward.”
With his clear vision and calm leadership, Lalaji offers advice for the next generation of healthcare leaders: stay curious, stay humble, and always keep the patient at the center.
“If we get this right,” he says, “we won’t just make radiology better. We’ll redefine what healthcare can be.”

The Radiology Group Atlanta Featured in Article on Building Strong, Lasting Partnerships with Rural Hospitals
Georgia, US, 21st April 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The Radiology Group Atlanta has been featured in a recent article that sheds light on how their unique approach to radiology is helping reshape rural healthcare. The article, titled “Redefining Access: How The Radiology Group Atlanta Builds Lasting Partnerships with Rural Hospitals,” explores how the group is providing vital imaging services to small hospitals through meaningful, long-term relationships rather than transactional coverage.
In rural communities, access to specialty care—especially radiology—can be challenging. Many small hospitals lack the resources to employ full-time radiologists or maintain in-house subspecialty teams. This often results in delayed diagnoses, limited care options, and overburdened medical staff.
The Radiology Group Atlanta is addressing these gaps by partnering directly with rural hospitals to deliver high-quality, reliable radiology support. What sets them apart is their strong commitment to personalization, consistent communication, and deep integration with the hospital teams they serve. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, they tailor their services to meet the specific needs of each facility—technically, operationally, and clinically.
“Our focus has always been on creating lasting value for rural hospitals,” said a representative from The Radiology Group Atlanta. “We understand their unique challenges and work side-by-side with them to deliver the radiology care their patients deserve.”
The article highlights how The Radiology Group Atlanta goes beyond reading images by offering direct communication with physicians, regular on-site visits, HIPAA-compliant collaboration tools, and access to subspecialty expertise without the need for patient transfers. Their approach ensures faster diagnoses, greater clinical accuracy, and a stronger connection between radiologist and provider.
In a healthcare landscape that often overlooks rural hospitals, The Radiology Group Atlanta stands out for prioritizing those communities. At a time when many national groups are shifting attention to urban health systems, this radiologist-led team is doubling down on its commitment to rural care, setting a new benchmark for what successful partnerships can look like.
About The Radiology Group Atlanta
The Radiology Group Atlanta is an independent, radiologist-led practice dedicated to providing expert diagnostic services to rural hospitals across the United States. Through tele-radiology, on-site collaboration, and tailored support, they deliver consistent, high-quality interpretations with a focus on long-term clinical relationships and patient-centered outcomes.

Capitamalls Advances Global Expansion Strategy, Aiming to Surpass 3 Million Global Members by 2025
New York, US, 21st April 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Capitamalls is accelerating its international expansion strategy, setting a strategic target of attracting over 3 million global members by the end of 2025. The company plans to establish regional operation centers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America to enhance its presence in the global market. This initiative aims not only to increase the platform’s market penetration internationally but also to provide travelers and hotel operators worldwide with more competitive accommodation solutions.
Since its inception in 2021, Capitamalls has rapidly emerged as a significant innovator in the global accommodation booking industry, driven by its unique business model and robust marketing strategies. Platform members can reserve hotel rooms released by Capitamalls at preferential prices by depositing an advance payment. According to recent data, this mutually beneficial approach resulted in an impressive 78% repeat purchase rate among members in 2024, driving a year-on-year GMV growth of 147% and accumulating a member funding pool exceeding US$1.2 billion.
Capitamalls has recently entered into strategic cooperation agreements with multiple platforms, intending to leverage their resources and technological advantages to expand market coverage further. By 2025, the company will have established regional operation centers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. These centers will allow Capitamalls to closely align with local market demands and optimize the accommodation supply chain. According to its strategic plan, the platform aims to operate in 50 countries and offer over 500,000 rooms by 2027, providing diversified accommodation options to users worldwide.
In terms of market promotion, Capitamalls actively participates in various global industry exhibitions, establishing connections with hotel operators, travel agencies, and investors. Additionally, the platform employs diversified promotional channels, including social media and online advertising, to attract potential users. With increasing global brand awareness, the platform continues to experience steady user growth. Moreover, Capitamalls implements precise marketing strategies, offering personalized accommodation recommendations based on regional market demands and user preferences, further enhancing customer engagement and retention.
Capitamalls’ business model relies on a sustainable ecosystem driven by a triangular “funding-accommodation-revenue” mechanism. Advance payments from the member funding pool provide financial support for securing long-term underwriting agreements with hotels, ensuring stable room availability. Consistent room supply subsequently attracts additional channel partners, increasing platform traffic and room turnover rates. This efficient transactional model enhances user experience and strengthens the platform’s profitability.
Moving forward, Capitamalls intends to enhance its technological capabilities, specifically focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) applications to provide members with more accurate accommodation recommendations. The company will also seek deeper collaborations with local hotels, travel agencies, and other tourism service providers to build a more comprehensive accommodation ecosystem. Looking ahead, Capitamalls’ global expansion strategy promises sustained growth for the company and will likely drive significant innovation and transformation within the global accommodation industry.
