Healthfully,

Not too long ago I was having a conversation with a colleague over coffee when a woman approached me, young child in tow. The woman politely tapped me on the shoulder and said, “I’m sorry to interrupt, but I just wanted to say hello to you, Dr. Phil.” Without hesitation, her child stared at me, squinting with a perplexed look and turned to her mother saying, “But he doesn’t look like that on TV.” I placed my face close to the child’s, patted her on the head, smiled and said, “I’m the real Dr. Phil. That other guy on TV became Dr. Phil after I did.”

While I stand by my assertion, it doesn’t change a commonality the “other” Dr. Phil and I share. Health is not just about one’s physical well-being. It also involves a person’s state of mind. With all of the health initiatives being implemented in our community, I am often asked if Healthy New Albany will be addressing mental health. And I remain steadfast in my answer. Yes, we will address topics such as depression, anxiety and stress. Achieving good health is not limited to the absence of physical conditions such as heart disease, cancer and arthritis.

In this issue, you will have the opportunity to read articles about mental health such as stress and the college application process and innovative strategies to improve emotional well-being.

While I don’t have my own TV show or a following of millions, that does not limit me in my quest to help promote a healthy community through the implementation of sound mental health programs and services.

And one more thing – neither makeup, facial additions nor Photoshop will transform my image to the extent that people will tell me that I haven’t changed from the time I was a regular on Oprah.

my storyBy Larry Levinson

I discovered my favorite sport by accident. One afternoon in June 2012, I wanted to go for a jog but

also wanted to play golf, so I decided to play nine holes with six clubs in a small carry bag and jogged around the golf course.

It was great. I felt like I found the secret to life as I played nine holes and did a 3-mile run in only about 45 minutes.

I soon found out there was an actual organization for the sport: Speedgolf International. In October 2012, I traveled to Bandon, Ore. and played in the inaugural Speedgolf World Championships at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. I won my age group, 40-49, shooting a 78 in 62 minutes.

I have been an avid golfer since I was young. My father got me into golf around the time I was in the sixth grade. I have played in competitive tournaments locally and also some United States Golf Association qualifiers in my free time.

I’ve spent more time exercising since 2006, when I was di-agnosed with colon cancer. I spent a week at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital after my colon resection surgery.

After that, it became a passion of mine to stay in really good shape and keep my weight down, so I do a lot of run-ning, which led me to Speedgolf.

Speedgolf is a combination of running and golfing. You play with six clubs or fewer and try to take as little time as possible running from shot to shot. Your score is a combina-tion of your time and also your strokes, so a person shoot-ing an 80 in 60 minutes would have a score of 140. Rules are similar to those of regular golf. During Speedgolf tourna-ments, you play by yourself and officials at each hole keep track of the scores.

Last fall I played in the elite division and finished 18th in the world in a two-day event, shooting 80 in 60 minutes the first day and 76 in 58 minutes the second day. The event was broadcast live on the Internet on Oomba.tv.

Speedgolf allows me to live an active lifestyle and get my exercise and play golf in about a fourth of the time. Playing Speedgolf, 18 holes usually takes an hour or less, as op-posed to playing conventional golf, which could take more than four hours. I’m a 3-handicap and I shoot about the same score when I play Speedgolf – sometimes even better. Speedgolf shows that taking more time does not equate to better play. Almost all golfers who try Speedgolf for the first time are amazed how well they play.

I have a legal practice; a wife, Shelby; and two young boys, Gabriel, 9, and David, 8. Speedgolf allows me to play my golf, get in a good run and be able to be back home to spend time with my fam-ily. This sport is perfect for today’s hectic and fast-paced times. It’s the perfect game for the working guy.

If you’re interested in learning more, please visit www.speed golfinternational.com and contact me at [email protected]. I’m trying to arrange a local Speed-golf event.

By “this,” he means the creation of the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts, the construction of a New Albany branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Li-brary and the millions of dollars awarded in grants, all among the myriad ways the foundation has helped the New Albany community since its 1994 inception.

Mohre sees himself – and the Founda-tion – as a “convener,” bringing the city, the school district, the township and indi-viduals together for the common purpose of improving life in New Albany.

“Obviously there are so many bene-factors in the community who help make it happen,” he says. “They’re the ones who are making things happen. We are just the instrument.”

If the New Albany Community Foun-dation is an instrument, it’s one that’s shaped virtually all of the features that make New Albany unique. And Mohre has been the one guiding it from the start.

Mohre grew up near Bryan, Ohio, in the far northwest corner of the state. He came to Columbus to study journalism at The Ohio State University.

“I needed a job when I was in college to help pay my way through school. ... A guy in my fraternity said they were hir-ing interns in a government office, so I got an internship, worked hard and got noticed and got a job,” Mohre says. “I ended up running a pretty high-profile campaign and that led to a job with a public affairs firm.”

One of the firm’s clients was Ed-wards Companies, which was con-structing the interchange at Tuttle Crossing – the first privately funded, full-diamond interstate interchange.

Mohre’s firm led the campaign to up-hold the zoning for the mall.

During that campaign, he made con-nections that led to a new job working for The New Albany Company starting around 1994. His move to the New Albany Community Foundation came about when Jack Kessler, co-founder and chairman of The New Albany Com-pany, asked Mohre to develop a plan for the Foundation in 2002. Up until that point, the Foundation had no em-ployees and was simply an extension of the Columbus Foundation that awarded small grants to local nonprofits. Kessler tasked Mohre with devising a strategy to change that.

“I had some ideas about what I thought the Foundation could do and the role it could play in the community,” Mohre says. “And so I did it, and Jack called me weeks later and said, ‘We want you to run it,’ and I

said, ‘Jack, I’ve never run a nonprofit in my life, and I’ve never run a foundation.’ He said ‘No, you know the community. You know what we need to do.’”

Mohre’s initial plan was to raise the Foundation’s profile by working on a large project that would draw the com-munity’s attention: a library.

“We were new; we hadn’t done any-thing, so no one knew about us. How do you market a foundation that no one really knows about?” Mohre says. “You do projects that are visible. (You) pump the money in for the library and for things that they would notice, which gave us an instant positive profile.”

He also revamped the board, bring-ing in representatives from City (then Village) Council, Plain Township and New Albany-Plain Local Schools as ex officio members.

“We thought the role could be that of a convener, to bring people together – the different community leaders, different groups, the city, schools, township, The New Albany Company – bringing them together to accomplish things together.”

That list of accomplishments keeps growing longer. The success of a li-brary fundraiser featuring author and Pulitzer Prize winner David McCullough (the event raised $1.2 million) led to the creation of the Foundation’s annual fun-draiser, A Remarkable Evening, which draws about 420 supporters each year.

Soon, Mohre’s attention turned to creating a venue for community gather-ings. Ralph Johnson, then the super-intendent of New Albany-Plain Local Schools, approached Mohre about plans for a high school auditorium. Vot-ers had passed a bond issue, providing $5 million for its construction.

“Would the foundation be able to raise more money, like you did for the li-brary, to make it better?” Mohre recalls Johnson asking him. Mohre countered, asking whether the district

Mohre ConnectionsCraig Mohre really didn’t want to be on the cover of

Healthy New Albany Magazine.Instead, the president of the New Albany Community

Foundation pitched a cover concept featuring the four most recent chairs of the Foundation board.

“It’s not me; it’s us, and I think it makes the foundation look stronger. It’s a lot of people making this happen,” Mohre says.

The New Albany Community Foundation and its donors were instrumental in the development of The Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts. Ground was broken on the McCoy in 2006 and it opened to the public in February 2008.

would be willing to having the auditorium serve the entire community, instead of just the schools. Johnson agreed.

“In typical New Albany fashion, every-body came together, rolled up their sleeves and made it happen,” Mohre says.

The resulting $15 million McCoy Center opened in 2008. A $7 million arts endow-ment established by the Foundation sup-ports community programming held there.

The back wall of the conference room of the Foundation offices on the second floor at Market Square is covered in pho-tographs of the various projects it has supported over the years.

“This wall tells a story, actually,” Mohre says, gesturing toward it and giving background on a few of the images. Photos of school children illustrate grants for school programming and equipment. Another photo shows the Ealy House, which the New Albany Plain Township Historical Society restored with support from the Foundation. The ambulance is an EMS unit purchased with money from the New Albany Surgical Hospital Fund.

Mohre’s day-to-day work at the Foun-dation is relationship-based. His days are typically filled with meetings, phone calls and emails with donors and with organi-zations seeking support. He also spends a lot of time planning A Remarkable Eve-ning and the Foundation’s new lecture series, The Jefferson Series. Upcoming speakers in the series include past Re-markable Evening speaker and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Doris Kearns Good-win, scheduled for 7 p.m. May 20, and former U.S. Senator and astronaut John Glenn, scheduled for 7 p.m. June 12.

Because he often attends evening meetings, Mohre’s days start early. He wakes around 5:30 to exercise. In the summer, that means a 20- to 30-mile bicycle ride two to three days a week.

“I started biking probably 10 years ago, at least, when I couldn’t run anymore be-cause my Achilles (tendon) is falling apart and my knee is bad,” Mohre says.

Otherwise, he’ll use a stair stepper or an elliptical machine or run in the pool. Health has been more of a priority in Mohre’s life since an infection in his heart valve in 2009 landed him in the hospital for open heart surgery.

“They gave me an artificial valve,” says Mohre, now age 50. “Until that point, I think I felt pretty invulnerable. Then you start thinking anything can happen.”

When he doesn’t have any evening meetings, he tries to get home around 6 p.m. to spend time with his family. He met his wife, Lori, in high school. The couple married in 1988 and moved to Little Turtle around that time. Their daughter Sarah, 21, graduated from New Albany-Plain Local Schools. Ra-chel, 17, is a junior there.

Family hobbies include playing the board game Aggravation and cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals.

“My mom’s from Missouri and we were raised that way,” Mohre says of his dedication to Cardinals baseball.

In his personal life, he’s most proud of his family, Mohre says. Professionally, he’s proud of what the Foundation has been able to accomplish and that the commu-nity is able to trust it with donations.

And one of the things he enjoys most about his job is the people – both those served through the Foundation’s various projects and those who initiate them.

“The rewarding thing for me is all the wonderful people I’ve gotten to work with – the Foundation board members that have come and gone and continue today, the board chairs (from whom) I’ve learned so much. (They’re) really amaz-ing, accomplished people and you can learn a lot watching them, how they get things done,” Mohre says. “That’s a lot of fun for me.”

By Stephan Reedon the path

Anxiety and depression affect people of all ages – children afraid to let go of a parent’s hand, high school students trying to choose a college, and adults struggling to find a way to make every activity fit in a 24-hour period, among

others. We took a look at the various ways people handle stress to showcase po-tential solutions for those with anxiety or depression.

High (Street) Strung

Each year, hundreds of New Albany stu-dents are faced with the daunting question: “What are you doing after graduation?”

Answering this question can put pres-sure on seniors – and the anxiety of keeping good grades and making the right choices, among all the other wor-ries, can build up as deadlines approach.

That’s why college counselor Jeff Stahl-man came to New Albany High School 15 years ago. Stalhman’s goal is to guide college hopefuls in the right direction.

“Every day, kids are going through panic mode,” he says. “I let them know it’s going to be OK, and we start the process. It’s stressful, but it can be balanced.”

One way to calm a student is to tack-le an individual issue head-on and let him or her know the problem isn’t the end of the world.

“Usually it’s not nearly as bad as the person thinks it is,” Stahlman says. “If it’s a missing document or something wrong

on the college’s side, we’ll give them a call and help straighten everything out. Nine times out of 10, it’s a simple issue. We all take a small problem and blow it up in our minds because it’s so important to us.”

Senior Lokita Rajan was one of those students facing panic when ap-plying to colleges.

Beginning the winter semester of her ju-nior year, she met with Stahlman regularly to work on applications, essays and eas-ing the anxiety of picking the best school.

“I would be freaking out, and I’d franti-cally come into his office saying, ‘I don’t like this. I don’t know what’s going on. What do I change?’ A lot of my stress came from trying to make it perfect,” Ra-jan says.

Learning to accept that perfection wasn’t obtainable helped her focus her energy on what she could control.

“One thing I learned is, after a point, your ACT and SAT scores are what

they are, and they’re not go-ing to change,” she says. “You should focus on the things you can change – the con-trollables. I can control the ap-proach I take on my essays, but I can’t control my past scores.”

Throughout the school year, Stahl-man meets with 300 to 330 students from the senior class, and he meets with juniors to help them start planning beginning each winter. He keeps his Mondays completely open for students to drop in at anytime to talk about their college careers.

The efforts put toward getting things done earlier and earlier are alarming. Stahlman has seen freshmen and eighth-graders already stressing about taking advanced placement courses.

“Some classes will help, but students are pushing themselves so hard that they aren’t leaving time to be a balanced hu-man being,” he says. “Ultimately, you’re better off taking one or two fewer AP courses and finding something cool to do outside of school. There’s too much stress in the younger grades.”

Rajan was one of the students who benefited from dropping an advanced course. Getting rid of an AP math course opened up some free time, relieved her of the added grade anxiety and helped keep her from burning out in high school.

“You feel you have to spend all your time studying, and I’m familiar with that feeling,” she says. “It opened up time for extracurriculars I enjoyed. Colleges look for this. They’re not looking for a test-tak-ing robot that scores the best on every test. They want a human being on cam-pus who will do something meaningful and have passion for what they’re doing.”

Anxiety and depression in New Albany

Studies

Trouble Brewing A study published in the

Current Pain and Head-aches Journal found that caffeine has a strong an-tagonistic effect on the central nervous system and adenosine receptors. This impact can lead to anxiety, jitters and head-aches. The study also notes that caffeine is the most widely used psychostimu-lant drug in the world – meaning it has the ability to affect cognitive ability and the way a person thinks.

Better Breathing, Better BeingIn an article published by

Harvard University, yoga was found have a profound effect on anxiety levels. One study cited found that depression scores for yoga participants improved by 50 percent and anxiety scores were bettered by 30 per-cent. Yoga sessions, and

the controlled breathing techniques that go along with the practice, helped most subjects fall into a normal sleeping pattern and improved their overall mood and quality of life.

‘You Can’t Make Me!’In 2011, the American

Academy of Child and Ado-lescent Psychiatry published guidelines and symptoms for school-related separation anxiety in children and teen-agers. Students ages 5 to 7 and 11 to 14 were found to be the most susceptible to separation anxiety and prone to school refusal. Often, anx-ious children fake sickness or injury to stay at home. Other symptoms include clinging behavior, nightmares, difficulty sleeping and unrealistic fear of burglars, ani-mals and the dark. Seeking professional help can help halt the disorder before it spreads to adulthood.

As everyday stressors begin to pile up and deadlines flood the mind, it’s easy for a person to crumble under the weight of his or her worries.

That’s where Jill Beckett-Hill found herself before learning the ways of prescription-free anxiety relief.

“I would be driving to or from work and I would have shortness of breath and gasp for air to calm down,” she says. “I had gone to the doctor, and we ran tests to rule out anything else. The bottom line: It was just an excessive amount of anxiety.”

Between a seven-days-a-week job, caring for her family and trying to find alone time, Beckett-Hill began to waver under the pressure. She began to notice her anxiety was stressing out her two children as well.

That’s when she decided to make a few lifestyle changes – specifically, the introduction of yoga into her daily routine.

“I got pulled 101 different directions, looked at my desk and said, ‘I need a break,’” Beckett-Hill says. “An hour of yoga, coming home for dinner and coming back to work later made me much more successful. It cleared my mind and helped me get through everything. It resets my priorities.”

She also found a local running group to keep her accountable for her weekly workout routine.

Previously, she had tried medications, but found many of them diminished her energy level. Exercise has been the best method of correcting her daily strain, she says.

“I’m not opposed to medication. If it’s going to benefit me, that’s all right, but there are other avenues to look down,” Beckett-Hill says. “Exercise is such a great tool. Everything seems a little easier after.”

Creating a stress-free environment for her children has been a major concern for Beckett-Hill. She lets them know the daily schedule in advance so they don’t feel rushed.

“As a family, we make sure we exercise. It really calms the ner-vous system. Children look forward to it as an outlet of energy,” she says. “As they get older, their demand for attention grows. … You have to be flexible. They have timelines and they fluctuate as well. It’s like you’re always on call. I try to forecast what will happen during the day and take advantage of downtime to relax or try and get ahead.”

Despite finding tactics to combat her panic attacks, Beckett-Hill still feels anxiety creep up from time to time. Learning how to handle these situations will be a lifelong journey, she says.

“When I have high anxiety levels, my answers are very short,” she says. “I may not think about my response fully. Sometimes you say things and think about how you could have said it differ-ently. Slowing down has been hard, but I’m learning. It’s week-by-week and some days are better than others.”

Accepting New Patients

When depressive thoughts enter the mind and anxiety begins to plague ev-eryday life, playing a familiar song can calm and soothe, says Jennifer Yurkov-ich, music therapist at Nationwide Chil-dren’s Hospital.

“Music gives patients something they are used to, something playful, and it makes them feel like a child again – it helps to re-educate them that they are in a safe place,” she says. “Music is a component of culture, especially in child-hood. (That’s why) we play ‘The Itsy Bitsy Spider’ and ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’ many times a week.”

Using music to help cope and calm has been an effective technique in many different situations, including physical re-habilitation, end of life care, substance abuse counseling and depression.

For some patients with depression, hearing a song with uplifting lyrical con-tent will help motivate them to make physical and mental progress.

“Simply listening to a song with a positive message and hopeful lyrics pro-motes a positive change in mood, sense

of well-being and helps get rid of nega-tivity,” Yurkovich says. “(Patients) process the lyrics and see how that song relates to their own situation.”

Leading patients in composing original music is another technique therapists use. One method is to use a set of color-coded bells, all of which have different pitches. A patient can build a song using the colors and tones.

“We jot down what color bell they want to hear and we play it with them, some-times with a piano or guitar accompa-nying,” says Lelia Emery, also a music therapist at Nationwide.

The original musical and lyrical content can help both patients and their thera-pists both hone in on what may be caus-ing the negativity.

“A lot of the time, song writing helps them release, evaluate and think about what’s causing depression,” says Ale-jandra Ferrer, another music therapist at Nationwide.

After a patient receives a referral a doctor, therapists perform a thorough assessment of the patient, mapping out

Petting Away the PanicTherapy dog calms elementary school children

When students get off the bus at the New Albany Elementary School K-1 building, they’re often met with a joyful welcome from Shirra.

Shirra, a 10-year-old golden retriever/Labrador retriever crossbreed, has been with the school for eight years. She spe-cializes in helping students with parent-child separation anxiety and becomes a friend to many shy students.

“The biggest service she provides is she’s a good friend; that’s her biggest job,” says Kelley Schubert, school coun-selor and Shirra’s handler. “She’s a com-panion for anyone who needs a break and she’s unconditional in terms of affec-tion. She’s a real confidence booster.”

A 2011 study published by the Ameri-can Psychological Association found that petting dogs can help people deal with depression and anxiety. Pet owners were found to have increased self-esteem and empowerment thanks to their kitty and canine companions. Pets also helped study participants become more extro-verted and less fearful and anxious about current matters.

Some children find interaction with the dog easier than working with an adult.

“There have been times where it’s amazing to see how children respond to her (as) opposed to any grown-ups,” Schubert says. “There have been several occasions when a young child is having

how well they can function without pro-fessional care, needs and goals. The therapists also communicate with the family to learn what songs and genres the patient favors.

“We use patient-preferred music as much as possible (throughout treat-ment),” Ferrer says. “Research shows that this is most effective.”

To go through music therapy, a person doesn’t need to be diagnosed with de-pression. Therapists at Nationwide Chil-dren’s have also worked with parents who are nervous for family members receiving care at the hospital.

After the brutal winter we experienced, most of us are happy to see the

spring flowers that are starting to appear throughout the com-munity. The warm weather that helped create those flowers is a precursor to a busy season of events that will begin in just a few weeks and continue into football season.

The Founders Day Parade and Festival, a staple celebration of our heritage, will take place May 17. The parade route needed to be changed this year due to construction, but the event will still occur in our Village Cen-

ter. The thousands of people who at-tend will no doubt enjoy this year’s pa-rade followed by the festival on the New Albany-Plain Local Schools campus.

New Albany is known as a cycling town, and this year brings more cy-cling events to our city than ever be-fore. Ride 2 Recovery, an organization that hosts events throughout the United States to support cycling programs that help injured veterans, is bringing one of its honor rides to New Albany on May 24. Additionally, the Bike MS Central Ohio Challenge is scheduled for July 12, to help fight the battle against Mul-tiple Sclerosis; and the Ride for Hope, a Pelotonia prep ride, tentatively will occur July 19. Three weeks later, the weekend of Aug. 9-10, thousands of Pelotonia riders will come to town to

help the fight to eradi-cate cancer and cel-ebrate the many lives touched by the disease in one way or another.

For runners in the community, Nationwide Children’s Hospital and its Circle of Friends will host the 11th annual Circle of Friends Walk & Run for the Rain-bow 5K June 13 in Mar-ket Square. Another 5K walk and run, sponsored by the New Albany Sym-phony Orchestra, will take place prior to the parade the morning of July 4 as part of the Independence Day

celebration. This event is being coordinated in conjunction with the New Albany Com-munity Events Board’s Independence Day morning parade and evening festival cel-ebration, which will end with the traditional fireworks display.

People who enjoy the trifecta of cycling, running and swimming are in for a treat when the Challenge Fam-ily Triathlon comes to town July 26-27. Some of the world’s best triathletes will compete, with everyone having the op-portunity to line up against them – at least at the starting line. Separate chil-dren’s and women’s events will occur on Saturday, with the main events of the Olympic and 70.3-mile triathlons scheduled on Sunday.

Think we’re done yet? Not even close. The Healthy New Albany Farmers Market will be back for its fourth year, with markets every Thursday from June 26 to Sept. 4 (except July 3). Also in Market Square, the New Albany Cham-ber of Commerce will bring back its popular Taste of New Albany event on Aug. 3.

September means two of New Al-bany’s most iconic and popular cel-ebrations are on the docket. The New Albany Walking Classic, the best walking event in the United States, will occur Sept. 7. Two weeks later, on Sept.

21, the New Albany Classic & Grand Prix will take place at the Wexner resi-dence. This much-celebrated one-day event brings more than 20,000 people to New Albany and raises more than $1 million annually for the Center for Family Safety and Healing.

Our event season is scheduled to close Oct. 11, with the Lifting Hopes New Albany Pump and 5K Run. This CrossFit-style event becomes more and more popular each year with its combi-nation of weightlifting and running.

We hope to see many of you out and about to enjoy the beauty and friendly spirit of our community this spring and summer. New Albany is a great place to live, work, play and be healthy!

This Time, It’s PErsonal

The shift from general to personalized health care is a growing trend, and with the opening of the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany scheduled for early 2015, New Albany is poised to be at the center of the movement.

Personalized health care is a core component of plans for the center and for the way the center will affect the com-munity at large.

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, a major partner in the

Philip Heit Center, has been study-ing the new model for almost a de-cade via its Center for

Personalized Health Care. The IDEA Studio for Health Care and Design at OSU is the successor of the Center for Personalized Health Care, and is focused on putting the solutions de-veloped by the center into action.

The studio’s goal is to define health at an environmental level and understand everything that factors into it – nutrition, sleep, exercise, personal relationships, attitude, etc. It studies the way people age and looks at health as the oppo-site of aging – keeping people feeling younger at older ages, says Dr. Clay Marsh, vice dean for research at the OSU College of Medicine and executive director of the IDEA Studio.

“We’re really interested in under-standing … the biological paradigm,” Marsh says.

Advances in medical science are mak-ing it ever easier to predict the health maladies to which a given individual may be susceptible, and personalized health care makes full use of those advances – determining not only what that per-son might have to worry about later in life, but what he or she can do now to head off those potential problems. That stands in stark contrast to a model of waiting for illness or injury to strike and then treating it.

“Our idea is that instead of rescuing from failure … we want to protect peo-ple from failure,” says Marsh.

The wellness center offers a fully inte-grated approach to health care, says Lar-ry Lewellen, vice president of care coor-dination and health promotion at Wexner Medical Center. Every professional in the

building, whatever that person’s specialty may be, will be on the same page, col-laborating on assessment and prediction.

That ensures everyone who comes in benefits from the collective wisdom of every staffer he or she encounters. More comprehensive knowledge of current and future health issues puts an indi-vidual in the driver’s seat when it comes to health care decisions, and all staffers at the wellness center will strive to keep visitors apprised, Lewellen says.

“The key here is com-pletely educating the per-son,” he says.

The standard health care model casts the medical practitioner as the expert and the pa-

tient as the follower, whereas, with this new model, the patient is given all the tools to become an expert himself or her-self, Lewellen says. The center will offer a personalized environment to create a health plan for everyone who comes in, and once that plan is established, every practitioner, office staffer and fitness ma-chine will know it.

“It’s for people who want to be at the highest level of energy, the highest level of capability,” he says.

That means preventing illness and injury, and if it already exists in the form of a chronic disease, that means helping the pa-tient learn how to best manage life and thrive

despite it. Even a perfectly healthy person can come in for a full fitness assessment by exercise science experts and – based on biometric data, family history, genet-ic probabilities and more – learn which chronic diseases might be risks and how they might be prevented.

Even if risks of chronic disease are not part of the picture, fitness plans can be goal-directed – say, if the subject wants to run a marathon, take a physically strenu-ous trip or prepare for retirement.

Staffers are being chosen for the well-ness center based in part on their disci-plines to determine they are the right fit for the center’s approach to health. Care is also being taken to utilize software that will link all electronic records. Each pa-tient will have a personal device, possibly a USB drive, containing all of his or her medical information, and plugging it into an exercise machine will bring up infor-mation on the person’s last workout and suggestions for this one.

Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s pres-ence at the wellness center will ensure that even New Albany’s youngest resi-dents have access to better health care options. The hospital has a long-standing partnership with New Albany-Plain Local Schools, which includes sports medicine and athletic training, and will have an of-fice at the wellness center.

The hospital’s portion of the wellness center will be focused on sports medi-cine, and proactive care has long been part of the sports medicine department’s agenda. It’s easier to prevent children, particularly student athletes, from injuring themselves than to treat an injury once it’s been suffered, says Lisa Kluchurosky, service line administrator for sports medi-cine at the hospital. Nationwide Children’s knows the common injuries, Kluchurosky says, and will implement programs to fo-cus on and prevent those injuries.

Beyond that, it will teach about mak-ing healthful choices and incorporating

physical activity into one’s life – and not just for athletes.

“We’ll obviously cater to that very ath-letic population, but we’ll also have a variety of programs that will focus on the non-athlete,” Kluchurosky says.

Marking small victories on the path to good health is one technique that Na-tionwide Children’s doctors will use at the wellness center, says Kluchurosky. Another is incorporating activities the chil-dren like; for example, not every kid will cotton to running on a track, she says, and no two like all the same foods.

Co-locating a fitness center and a medical facility is a familiar concept, but having them so closely integrated is a much newer paradigm, Lewellen says. And the concept will extend beyond the walls of the wellness center; it’s intended to serve as the hub of a health ecosys-tem in New Albany, incorporating restau-rants, grocery stores, schools, retail busi-nesses for such health-related items as shoes and bicycles, and more.

“We believe this is the model of the future,” Lewellen says. “It’s my belief that (with) health care, the whole continuum will be delivered in communities.”

At the community level, personalized health care creates an environment in which it’s appealing and normal to take health seriously and take advantage of all the opportunities provided to do so, Marsh says. New Albany’s stalwart com-mitment to health and wellness makes it the perfect place to pilot this new ap-proach to health care, he says.

“Our goal is to learn with the commu-nity leaders and the community mem-bers,” he says.

If the minds behind the wellness center have their way, New Albany won’t be the only community to reap the benefits. Dif-ferent communities have different needs, and the co-located wellness center ap-proach may not work everywhere, but organizers hope to be able to bring their version of personalized health care to other areas that want to improve their overall health.

“If there are other communities that we go into, which we would very much love to do, the important thing is to bring the right ingredients to that community to help us raise its health,” says Lewellen.

It’s one thing to visit the New Albany Farmers Market every now and then and pick up a

zucchini here and a tomato or two there.You can also make a serious commitment to sup-porting local agriculture – and to eating your vegetables ev-ery week – by signing up for a CSA.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs offer weekly “subscrip-tions” to particular farms. Sign-ups typically occur in winter or early spring (though sometimes they’re offered later) and farms often cap the number of mem-berships to ensure there will be enough produce to go around.

At least two of the vendors at the New Albany Farmers Market currently of-fer CSAs. VanScoy Farms, just outside Ridgeway, Ohio, and Bird’s Haven Farms in the Granville area provide set portions of fresh produce from their farms to their

subscribers each week. The member-ships also allow for add-ons that can include other fruits, meats, cheeses and eggs produced by other Ohio farms to round out the selection.

Items in the subscription vary based on what’s in season and the size of the farm’s harvest. Typically, it’s the same produce that’s available to the public.

“If they (want, they) can buy the ex-act same thing off the market stands, they can come and go as they please, and do what-ever they want,” says Bill VanScoy, owner of VanScoy Farms. “Some people re-ally like that, and they come every week to the Farmers Market and buy what they want and that’s great. Oth-er people like to have the uniqueness of the CSA.”

One benefit of the mem-bership is that your items are set aside; your dinner plans won’t be derailed if some-one bought out the eggplant

before you could get from work to the market. Sometimes there are exclusive perks, too.

“CSA gets first pick, so the add-ons like the sweet corn and the fruits, those are not available at the farmers market,” VanScoy says. “We have some specialty items that we never have enough to sell at the market.”

A slew of new and returning merchants are lined up for the fourth season of the New Albany Summer Farmers Market. With approximately 30 waitlisted vendors, market organizers foresee space for the vendors to be completely filled this year.

The outdoor market, held from 4-7 p.m. every Thursday from June 26 through Sept. 4 in Market Square, features more than 60 farmers, bakers, ice cream mak-ers and others, which organizers say add to the market’s unique mix.

“We are conscientious about not hav-ing too many bakers or salsa people or

anything else,” says Kristina Jenny, one of the managers of the New Albany Farm-ers Market. “We don’t want to saturate the market too much of one thing and people don’t know quite where to go.”

Among the returning vendors are Unkle Timz Gourmet Salsa, Charlotte & Olivia’s Sublime Ice Creams and Simple Gourmet Syrups. Also planned for this year’s market are live shows from the New Albany High School band and the New Albany Chorus and visits from a variety of food trucks.

Organizers recommend bringing cash and reusable bags.

Fruit Farm in Chillicothe for seasonal fruits and SaraBee Honey in Hocking Hills for honey.

Bird’s Haven Farms adopts a more “market-style” approach with its CSA, offering options of small (“Just Right”) or large (“A Little More”) and 21-week or 11-week subscriptions.

“We do not pre-package our bags, so when you get there, you pick from cer-tain bins,” says Bryn Bird, CSA manager of Bird’s Haven Farms. Signs nearby ex-plain how many items subscribers should take. For example, those with small sub-scriptions can pick out three tomatoes, while those with large subscriptions can choose five.

Both farmers established the pro-gram to sustain their farms’ infrastruc-ture. VanScoy was farming for almost 30 years when he realized mass-producing

his products and selling them at a re-duced price was causing his farm to lose out.

“We started taking orders for produce, and we started switching a percentage of our farm to that direction, so we knew how much was going to be sold at the start of the season,” VanScoy says.

The growing season is the most ex-pensive time of the year for Bird’s Ha-ven Farms. Money spent on labor and cultivating plants wasn’t being earned back because they weren’t selling enough produce.

“Action is not expected (at) the farm in August and September when we’re just harvesting and selling, so it’s really great to have our CSA customers, and they’re paying now when it’s the most expen-sive,” Bird says. “Without the CSA, we wouldn’t have been able to build up our

business the way we have. We now sell to schools, hospitals and restaurants.”

Diana Herman, manager of last sea-son’s New Albany Farmers Market, has been committed to Green Edge Organic Gardens’ Athens Hills CSA, which does not participate in the New Albany Farm-ers Market, for seven years.

“I love the idea that I’m helping the farmer directly and I know exactly the quality of the vegetables I’m getting,” Herman says. “The CSA I belong to is organic, so I know I’m getting locally-grown, organic vegetables.”

VanScoy notes that it is important for farmers with CSA pick-ups to inform their customers of alterations in the CSA sub-scriptions throughout the season if ex-treme weather conditions occur.

“We had some issues where there was some really dry weather, and we

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Finely dice the onion and mince the gar-lic. Sauté both in a skillet with olive oil un-til softened, about 5 minutes. While the onion and garlic are sautéing, thinly slice the rest of the vegetables. Spray the in-side of an 8-inch by 8-inch square bak-ing dish with non-stick spray. Spread the softened onion and garlic in the bottom of the dish. Place the thinly sliced veg-etables in the baking dish, vertically, in an alternating pattern. Sprinkle generously with thyme and add salt and pepper to taste.

Some crops are also likely to grow bet-ter than others each season, and sub-scribers and farmers alike are expected to make the best out of the situation.

“The year before, pickles were just absolutely rampant,” VanScoy says. “One guy sent me an email and said that he thought he was going to turn into a pickle.”

Many people perceive cosmetic medical procedures as being similar to going to a spa. Could you discuss some important medical aspects of cosmetic surgery?

Some places you can go just to get Botox. It can be done by a nurse and a lot of them will do a great job, but if you’re doing any-thing advanced or invasive to the skin, you want to have someone who has been trained in that. Not all surgeons have experience in cosmetic medicine. They don’t teach many of these techniques in residencies. In a lot of cases, we learn the newest techniques from doctors who develop the treatments them-selves. The world of medicine and technol-ogy is changing so fast, I think it’s imperative that the doctor you choose is experienced. Find someone who focuses on that 100 per-cent of the time.

What kinds of topics should be discussed to make sure patients are ready for a cos-metic medical procedure, especially one that may alter their appearance?

A physician should spend time with pa-tients explaining how the procedure works and what could happen. A detailed history and physical exam assesses for anything that would preclude patients from getting the pro-cedure. Their mental status is also assessed to make sure they have realistic expectations and that they’re not having self-esteem is-sues. An example of someone with unrealistic expectations would be a 70-year-old, mas-sively overweight patient who is expecting to have a six-pack after one procedure. Doctors see some who have had a lot of procedures who are still not happy. That can be a red flag, and the doctor can, in turn, decline to do the procedure in the patient’s best interest.

Acne, excessive sweating, a bulging tummy that doesn’t budge – for some, these are an inconvenience or an annoyance. For others, these conditions affect their quality of life on a daily

basis. If you’ve considered seeing a doctor for a cosmetic proce-dure, read on. Dr. Eric Fete chats about the latest advances in his field, groundbreaking treatments to help patients feel – and look – better than ever.

Putting the ‘medicine’ in cosmetic medicine

EXPERT:


EXPERT:Doctors should make sure they’re on the same page as their patients and they fully understand the risks and benefits of any procedure.

Cosmetic surgeries such as lipo-suction have had a reputation for being dangerous in the past. What advances in the last 10 to 20 years have improved the safety of such procedures?

The biggest changes are new tech-niques and new technology. The old way of doing things – putting people un-der general anesthesia and using physi-cal disruption to liquefy the fat – is kind of passé. There are new ways of doing those procedures that are less invasive. Now technologies such as ultrasounds and lasers can literally shape the body. These are more effective at breaking up the fat and also tighten the skin and the underlying collagen. Recovery is quicker and there’s less damage to the tissues. Most of these procedures can be done under local anesthesia, mini-mizing the risks associated with general anesthesia. Instead of four to five hours in surgery, patients are done after only a couple hours and are mobile more quickly. It decreases both pain and the risk of infection.

What treatment is available for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and how do these treatments work?

One of the treatments is Botox injec-tion. It works, but it only lasts for three or four months. A new technique is the NoSweat procedure. The armpit is anesthetized and then a very small inci-sion is made in the skin and a laser fiber is inserted under the skin. The risk of in-jury is pretty much zero. The laser spe-cifically targets sweat glands and won’t damage any other tissues. It’s usually a one-time treatment and most patients have a 75 percent improvement and they don’t have to go back every three to four months.

What is PRP Therapy?PRP stands for platelet rich plasma.

The patient’s own blood is taken and platelets and growth factors are sepa-rated out and that platelet rich plasma is injected back into the tissue. A version of this technique has been used for years by NFL athletes and pro golfers. Some

physicians use it for musculoskeletal is-sues such as tendon or ligament injuries, knee arthritis, or rotator cuff injuries. The injections help the body to heal itself, making those structures regenerate and become stronger again. It is now being used for facial regeneration, for sexual dysfunction (the O-shot and the Priapus shot, or P-shot) and to regrow hair in men and in women. There is further research being done on other modalities – growing skin and rebuilding bone and heart tis-sue. This is very exciting and bodes very well for patients.

What are the latest treatments available for acne?

Treatment for acne depends on the severity of the case. An aesthetician can treat milder conditions. Treatment could be as simple as topical medical therapy. Topical microbial products – many of them proprietary – can simply take care of it right then and there. Then there are extractions and peels. Beyond that, la-ser or light therapy can be used, or, if it’s a severe case, patients are put on oral antibiotics. Laser or light therapy works by killing the bacteria that are causing the inflammation and clogging the pores. It also helps with cell turnover and skin turnover to reduce swelling and improves the look of scarring. After treat-ment, the patient is put on a regimen to prevent breakouts so he or she doesn’t get any scarring in the future. It’s a con-tinuum of care based on how the patient presents and what type of treatment he or she has had in the past.

What is Ultherapy?Ultherapy is an FDA-approved, non-

surgical and non-invasive treatment using ultrasound to tighten loose skin. Patients like that it’s a procedure that causes no scars and no discoloration. The ultrasound stimulates the collagen to tighten and contract, which then causes secondary skin tightening. It doesn’t cause any discoloration of the skin and patients see results within a couple months or less.
