    Licensed child care centers, homes hard to findEarly Childhood Alliance to offer workshops to encourage licensing

    Licensed child care in AllenCounty is hard to find, according tothe Early Childhood Alliance. If youare a parent who has been searchingfor a licensed child care option inthe city and youve found that mostof the homes or centers are full tocapacity, you are certainly not alone.

    What were finding is that inAllen County, we arent able toaccommodate the need for allparents that are calling us to requestlicensed care. When we see areas of growth, we see an increase in thenumber of families that are callingus, but were not always able toprovide them with a lot of options,Pam Leffers, Early ChildhoodAlliances program director said.

    She said high-growth areas, likethe Dupont area, have beenimpacted.

    But the organization has a remedythat will hopefully fix the shortagesin licensed care.

    We would like to be able toprovide more options to families thatcall us, Leffers said.

    The remedy includes offering

    learning opportunities for businessowners and those interested in

    opening child care facilities. EarlyChildhood Alliance will offersessions in many areas of town thisspring, for facilities and homes thatare looking to become licensed.

    These orientation sessions areconducted monthly, free of charge,

    although pre-registration is required.In addition, the organization will

    also offer a second orientationsession, which consists of a two-hour meeting that covers health,

    Expert offers adviceduring awareness month

    Early screening is essential to prevention and increasing cure rate

    March is Colorectal Cancer AwarenessMonth and local colorectal cancer expertDr. Virendra Parikh, MD, a colorectalsurgeon at Inverness Surgery Center, isspeaking out with advice for residents onthis potentially life-threatening disease.

    Colorectal cancer is the second leading

    cause of cancer deaths in the UnitedStates, with over 56,000 people expectedto die from this disease each year, Dr.Parikh said. However, it is a preventableand very curable disease if caught early.

    Because there are often no symptomswhen it is first developing, colorectalcancer can only be caught early through

    regular screening.The benefits of early detection and

    treatment are dramatic, he said. Thepossibility of curing patients after symp-

    toms develop is only 50 percent, but if colorectal cancer is found and treated atan early stage before symptoms develop,the opportunity to cure it is 80 percent orbetter.

    Most colon cancers start as non-cancerous growths called polyps. If weare able to find these polyps while theyare still non-cancerous, we remove themand the cancer may be prevented. Majorsurgery can usually be avoided, as well,

    Dr. Parikh said.Colorectal surgeons are experts in thesurgical and nonsurgical treatment of colon and rectal problems and play aninstrumental role in the effectivescreening, prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer. Studies have shown that

    Hearing Loopssystem will helpcongregation at

    First PresbyterianFirst Presbyterian Church downtown has just

    completed the installation of Hearing Loops in all of themajor public areas of the building, including the sanc-tuary, chapel, theater and large dining hall, a pressstatement said.

    This system helps people who wear hearing aids butstill struggle to understand, especially in large open areas.It transmits the speakers voices directly into each indi-viduals hearing aids, automatically and invisibly, thestatement said.

    The Hearing Loop System has been in use in Europefor about 50 years. A hearing loop consists mainly of acopper wire installed in a loop around a room and hookedinto the sound system. The sound is sent from the wiredirectly into any hearing aids inside the loop, if they areset to a T-Coil program. Most hearing aids sold in theU.S. have the T-Coil program available. Your audiologistmay have offered to set your aids with a T-Coil setting as

    one optional program, to use with the telephone. Thissame setting works with the Hearing Loop system. If your hearing aids are not set for a T-Coil choice, an audi-ologist can re-program them.

    Hearing Loop systems are installed in a few churchesin southern Indiana, as well as being installed at theSouth Bend airport, but the system at First Presbyterian isthe first in a church in the northern half of the state.

    Our hope is to provide a comfortable hearing environ-ment to anyone who comes to our building and also toinspire other venues in Fort Wayne to install hearingloops, the statement said.

    For more on Hearing Loops, go towww.wirelesshs.com and www.Americanloops.com

    The official name of the system is audio frequencyinduction loop systems. An induction loop system trans-mits magnetic energy to telecoil-equipped hearing aidsvia a wire that surrounds an audience. First Presbyterian

    Church is located at 300 West Wayne Street.

    Indianapolis-basedHome Health Depot Inc.has opened a branch inFort Wayne that isexpected to have 10 to 12employees before the endof the year, HHD Presi-dent Nathan Feltman said.

    The company, which

    provides home medicalequipment and modifica-tions, now has sevenbranches in Indiana and14 in four Midwest states:Indiana, Illinois, Iowa andMichigan.

    Inc. magazine last yearnamed Home HealthDepot the 736th fastest-growing company in thenation, and Feltman saidthe company is consid-ering continued expansionin other areas of theMidwest, including Ohio,Kentucky, Minnesota andWisconsin.

    Feltman said thecompanys growth is areflection of its high-quality products and anaging population.

    It is a big market andgrowing based on the factthat baby boomers areheading into retirement,Feltman said. Most babyboomers want to stay intheir homes as long aspossible, have freedom asa long as possible.

    To that end, HomeHealth Depot providessuch things as complex

    rehabilitation equipment,respiratory equipment andhome modifications likeramps and roll-in showers.

    The Fort Wayne branchis at 6004 HighviewDrive.

    Mike Packnetts voicewas wrapped with rever-

    ence every time he utteredthe word dream. And it

    was a word he used oftenwhen he sat down to talk about the new ParkviewRegional Medical Center.

    The $550-million, 1.1-million-square-footmedical center, one of thelargest health care projectsin the Midwest, is set toopen March 17 off DupontRoad just east of Interstate69.

    Packnett, ParkviewHealths president andCEO, and other ParkviewHealth officials say thestate-of-the-art facilitywill: improve access tohealth care in the region;reinforce Parkviewsmission to provide excel-lent service; likely bringmore business to theburgeoning Parkviewsystem; lead to thecreation of 250 moreParkview jobs; andcontinue to ratchet upeconomic developmentnear the 115-acre regionalmedical center campus.

    All good reasons, Pack-nett said, for building themajestic eight-storycenter, which will serve an

    area of 875,000 people in

    northeast Indiana andnorthwest Ohio and which

    has dramatically changedthe landscape formotorists traveling theinterstate.

    We didnt have to dothis, Packnett said. Theboard could have madethe decision just to stay at(Parkview Hospital onRandallia Drive).

    But they felt thatwasnt the right decisionfor the community. Its allabout the mission side,and when board memberswere looking at it, theywere saying, How do wefulfill our mission? Andtheres a certain missionyou can fulfill at Randalliaand stay. Theres an evenbigger mission you canfulfill (with the regionalmedical center) and alsokeep Randallia open.

    Packnetts dream cometrue, shared not only byhim but by those aroundhim, plays out in stunningdetail, beginning withbuilding facades soadorned with windowsthat reflected sunlight canraise temperatures in

    Building on a dreamMission, not competition, drove construction of regional medical centerBy Rick [email protected]

    sections of the parking lotby 20 degrees or more or so it seems.

    The 114,000 square feetof windows, which affordpanoramic views fromoffices, patient rooms andlounges, was part of anencompassing plan tocreate an environment thatpromotes healing.

    The windows, Packnettsaid, make it easy forpatients and families toget close to life-affirminglight. In fact, in the 446private patient rooms,alcoves have beenconstructed to allowwindows to extend 11 feethigh beyond the heightof the ceilings.

    The amenities dontstop there. There are thestony, wooded waterfallsin the 2 1/2-story frontlobby; the more than 700dazzling sculptures, paint-

    ings and stained glassworks throughout the

    regional medical centercreated mostly by localtalent; two chapels; 12meditation rooms; airy,well-appointed lounges; afull-service, first-floorcafeteria; 42-inch flat-screen televisions inpatient rooms; 300 under-ground parking spaces foreasy access; six court-yards of various sizes; andtwo miles of walkingtrails on the campus.

    Some of the ideas camefrom hospitals elsewherein the country; some ideasare uniquely Parkviews.

    There are three wordsfrom an expectationstandpoint: hope, confi-dence and healing,Packnett said. This isbuilt around those threewords. We want people tofeel hope and confidencethat theyre going to getthe best care and experi-

    ence a healing environment. You try tofind a place thats like this that hasevery square foot defined as part of thathealing experience and youre notgoing to find it.

    Then there is the technology. Packnett,Parkview Hospital COO Sue Ehinger andMark Hisey, Parkview Health vice presi-dent of changing spaces, talk glowinglyabout smart beds that can safely rollpatients on their sides or alert nurseswhen they have left the bed; ceiling-mounted lifts that have been placed in

    every patient room, lessening themanpower needs and promoting thehealth of workers; monitors that areaffixed to arms, leaving no equipment onthe floor; and touch-screen way-findingkiosks that use animation to direct visitorsto their destinations.

    There are also the 22 labor-saving,multilingual robots upright rectangularbeings that can speak English, Spanish orJapanese and traverse hallways and eleva-tors to deliver linens, food,pharmaceuticals and equipment. Stand in

    front of one of them and it stops.In all, there are 16 state-of-the-art oper-

    ating rooms in the regional medical

    center, including four in a five-story, 82-bed heart institute that will be notable,Packnett and Parkview Physicians Groupcardiologists said, for an efficiency stem-ming from all of the heart treatmentfunctions being in one place.

    The heart institute also includes fivecatheterization labs, two of which arehybrid labs that lend themselves to bothcatheterization and surgery.

    In my past life, Packnett said, I gotto build a heart hospital, and so I sawwhat happened to the whole heart modelwhen you collected everything and put itin one place.

    In the round-the-clock emergencydepartment, meanwhile, there are fourtrauma rooms, including one for pediatricpatients, and imaging services includefour low-dose-radiation CT scanners.

    Emergency and imaging were once theprovince of Parkview North Hospital onthe north campus, but the regionalmedical center will essential absorb thatfacility. Parkview Womens & ChildrensHospital will expand into the northhospitals space, officials said, and amongthe new tenants will be an outpatientpediatric clinic and a 9,000-square-foot,relocated Ronald McDonald House forrelatives of injured or ill children.

    Lisa Pacula, executive director of Ronald McDonald Charities of NortheastIndiana, said the organization is nearingthe end of a $2-million fundraising

    campaign and expects construction to

    begin in April and be completed bySeptember. The facility, she said, willwelcome its first guests in December after

    adding about 100 volunteers to its currentbase of 70.Also part of the Parkview Regional

    Medical Center campus are the ParkviewCancer Center, Parkview Ortho Hospitaland a new 124,000-square-foot medicaloffice building.

    I think its going to be an amazing giftto the community for years to come,Pacula said of the regional centercomplex. I think its an amazing healthcare facility. Absolutely beautiful.

    Parkview Hospital on Randallia, mean-while, will remain. Ehinger, who willhave the dual role of COO for both theRandallia and regional medical centercampuses, said Parkview Hospital willhave about half as many beds as it hasnow, but all 150 beds will be in privaterooms.

    Parkview Hospital will continue to havea 24/7 emergency department, serveshort-term and long-term acute carepatients, offer expanded post-acute careand seek out senior health care opportuni-ties.

    Wayne, which will have an additional 48beds inside Parkview Hospital.

    The opening of the regional medicalcenter will give Parkview Health 821beds and eventually 7,750 employeesspread out across northeast Indiana infacilities in Allen, Huntington, LaGrange,Noble and Whitley counties.

    The opening also means continuedeconomic development growth around thecampus growth that has already seenthe construction of a Manchester Collegepharmacy school set to open later thisyear and plans by another entity for anursing home. The growth will be buoyedin fall 2012 when a $13.9-million I-69/Union Chapel Road interchange northof the medical center is largelycompleted, easing some of the congestionon Dupont Road.

    Parkview Health is paying $10 millionof the cost of the interchange, accordingto an Indiana Department of Transporta-tion spokesman.

    We become the anchor, if you will, foreconomic development on the northernside of Fort Wayne, Packnett said. Ittriggers some spending by people now

    that were here and they begin to see theflow of activity in the area.Parkview Health i s also contemplating

    future growth of its own, already.Packnett said Parkview Hospital is five

    years ahead of projected patient volume a situation that portends greatercommunity need. Hisey noted thatParkview Health owns another 285 acresaround the regional medical center thatcould be developed. Some of the growth,though, may come from within the 10existing Parkview service lines, whichinclude heart, cancer, surgery and primarycare.

    Packnett talked again about dreams.In each of those service lines we have

    a physician leader and an administrative

    leader, he said. And they have their owndreams and they have their own plans.And in each area, there will be some kindof expansion and some kind of servicethat they will want to provide better.

    Whatever improvements or expansionscome about, he and Ehinger said, willresult from a Parkview Health focus thatis less about competitive forces likeLutheran Health Network and more aboutaligning with the best practices in thecountry.

    Were always talking about being inthe top 10, Ehinger said. Whos in thetop 10 percentile? Well be looking atthose organizations.

    Said Packnett: We will say, Heresour market share and heres Lutheransmarket share. But very few times is thatwhats driving us. Whats really drivingus and Im being very sincere aboutthis is as we compete, we arecompeting with whos doing somethingthe best in the country. Sue and I neverwant to limit peoples budgets to go andsee a best practice.

    Its that kind of philosophy that led tothe attributes of the new regional medical

    center attributes that almost havePacknett pinching himself.At one point, he turned, faced Hisey,

    and posed this question: Mark, whatpercentage of our dream have we beenable to build?

    Hisey, who oversaw the 3 1/2-yearmedical center construction project andwho seems to know virtually every detail,paused and appeared to struggle with thequestion. Perhaps he was trying to do aquick, purely fact-based calculation in hishead.

    Id say 95 percent, Packnett saidbefore Hisey could answer. And in someways, its 100 percent, because weve beenable to build virtually all of the dream wehad when we started this.

    patients treated by colorectalsurgeons are more likely tosurvive colorectal cancer becauseof their advanced training.

    Dr. Parikh notes that in additionto getting screened regularly forcolorectal cancer, people canlower their risk of getting thedisease by avoiding foods that arehigh in fat, eating plenty of vegetables, fruits and other high-

    fiber foods, exercising regularlyand maintaining a normal bodyweight and drinking alcohol onlyin moderation. For moreinformation on colorectal cancerscreening, prevention andtreatment, call Dr. Parikh at 260-489-8898.

    SCREENINGfrom page A2

    Screening GuidelinesThe American Society of Colon and Rectal Sur-geons (ASCRS) offers the following colorectalcancer screening guidelines: For people at average risk of getting colorectalcancer, an examination and fecal occult blood test, which screens for hidden blood in the stool,are recommended annually beginning at age 40.Other screening tools, such as flexible sigmoi-doscopy and colonoscopy are also recom-mended. People at increased risk for colorectal cancerinclude those with a personal or family history of

    colorectal polyps or cancer, those with a per-sonal history of breast, uterine or ovarian cancer,and those with chronic ulcerative colitis orCrohns disease. They should be screened at anearlier and more frequent rate and should see their colorectal surgeon or other healthcareprovider for specific recommendations.

    The latest news indi-cates that homeownerswill be investing more inhome improvements thanthey have in recent years.The mild winter haspeople thinking aboutspring home improvementprojects already.

    For those who cantcompletely commit toDIY home projects,selecting a contractor forany kind of homeimprovement work can bedaunting. Licenses andinsurance must bechecked. References haveto be called. Quotes needto be obtained. It is atime-consuming task.

    A growing AllenCounty-based business,The Homeowners Helper,takes the pain out of

    selecting contractors,including painters, land-scapers, handymen,plumbers, concreteworkers, deck and fencebuilders, patio installers,tree removal professionalsand trimmers, electricalexperts and more.

    The HomeownersHelper has a network of nearly 50 contractorsavailable for most anyhome project, large orsmall. Since last April,The Homeowners Helperhas served nearly 125homeowners.

    Founder Tony Messuri,

    a Fort Wayne residentsince 1985, started thebusiness last spring,fulfilling his dream of running a service busi-ness, following hisretirement from theaccounting profession.

    The service iscompletely free to thehomeowner. Contractorspay a small referral fee forany work secured throughThe Homeowners Helper.

    Homeowners have thepeace of mind that comeswith knowing theirchoices of contractors areprequalified before beingallowed in The Home-owners Helper network.Each contractor goesthrough a rigorous face-to-face interview and ischecked for licenses, certi-

    fications and insurance.Customer references arealso called and thecontractors status withthe Better BusinessBureau and the IndianaAttorney General is alsoverified to be in goodstanding.

    Fort Wayne home-owners Theresa and EdMild used The Home-owners Helper to find acontractor to add a roomonto their house.

    This was the moststress-free home projectthat I can rememberhaving done, Ed Mild

    said.I think that The Home-

    owners Helper is genius.It saved us much time andstress as we are new to thearea. We did not have toresearch the unfamiliarbuilding trades to find thehelp that we needed.

    The HomeownersHelper had a booth at therecent Fort Wayne Homeand Garden Show, and

    Messuri will be a featuredpresenter at the HomeImprovement Expo fromMay 11-12, where he willlead seminars on Tips &Tricks in Selecting aContractor for Your HomeProjects. More informa-tion on this free service isavailable at www.thehomeownershelper.com or bycalling (260) 676-2032.

    Many Americans spend the great majority of their daysitting in an uncomfortable chair hunched over acomputer. This leads to a slew of muscle imbalances andfaulty movement patterns which pave the path for futureinjuries such as hip, knee, and back problems. Preventthese nagging problems with a little strengthening work.

    In this two part series, you will learn four basic exercises.When performed on a regular basis, they will have youmoving with a newly discovered vigor and get your heartpumping to boot!

    In part one, you will learn the squat and push-up. Doeach exercise daily, beginning with just one repetition if that is all you can do. For each exercise, work your wayup until you can do 3 sets of 15 repetitions. Once youhave achieved this, try one of the progressions listed.

    1. Powerhouse Movement: The SquatStand with a chair behind you with your feet about

    shoulder width apart, toes pointing forward or slightly

    out. Shift your weight to your heels. Initiate themovement at your hips by pushing your butt back-wards. Then bend your knees as you sit back anddown onto the chair. Sit completely down on thechair. Finally, without rocking, push through yourheels to pop back up.

    Progressions: 1. Perform using a lower chair, orstep. 2. Use your original chair and try balancing onone leg. Keep one leg out in front of you as youperform the same motion while you balance on one leg.

    2. Powerhouse Movement: The Push-upStand a few feet in front of a counter or table that is

    about waist level. How far back you stand is really goingto depend on how tall you are - the shorter you are, thecloser to the counter you will be. Place your hands on thecounter about shoulder width apart. Walk your feet back until your body is in a straight line from your feet to thetop of your head. Tip: your butt should not be up in theair. This is the starting position. Keep this alignment asyou bend your elbows, keeping them pointed slightlybehind you, and slowly lower your chest until it touchesthe counter. Once you feel your chest touch the counter,extend your arms to push yourself back to the startingposition. If this is too hard, perform from a highercounter or start with your hands on a wall.

    Progressions: 1. Perform from a lower counter ortable. Your goal is to eventually do them from the f loor.

    2. Once you master them from the floor, try elevating

    your feet on a chair whilekeeping your hands on thefloor.

    There you go! Do them athome in the morning orduring your lunch hour atwork. Now practice, practice,practice and keep a look outfor the final two powerhousemovements next month.

    Tired and wired: how adrenal fatigue impacts your bod

    My brain doesnt wakeup until 10:00 am. Soundfamiliar? Whats likelyhappening is your adrenalgland is not makingcortisol like it should. Theadrenal glands sit on topof the kidneys, making avariety of hormones, oneof them being cortisol.Cortisol should increase inthe morning to wake youup and then decreasetoward the end of the dayso you can sleep.

    Low or no appetite canbe another sign of adrenalfatigue. To combat this,

    you may jump start yourbody with two to threecups of coffee, giving you

    a boost of adrenalinerather than supporting theadrenals, but now youreirritable. Before you knowit, youre tired again fromlow cortisol and you maystart to feel light-headed,dizzy or even depressed.

    You finally make it tomid-afternoon and youreready for a nap. You gethome, youre exhausted,but you get dinner, helpthe kids with homework and get them to bed. Youveg with the TV and/orFacebook and then noticea burst of energy.

    Your cortisol is finallykicking in gear. Yourealize its now 11:00 pm.

    and you should go to bed,but you arent tired.Youre wired. You turn out

    the light and yourmind and heart race asyou think of all the thingsyou have to do the nextday.

    Time to stop the cycle.Instead of looking at the

    clock, get out a pen andpaper and write thoughtsand to dos down. Thisallows yourbrain to shut off. If youstill cant sleep, get out of bed and do some laundry,bills or homework. Youwill feel better if youaccomplish somethingrather than tossing andturning. Avoid TV orcomputers as they arestimulants and will keep

    you awake. Develop abedtime routine, read, ortake a bath. The more you

    sleep, the more your bodycan make the hormones itneeds, including cortisol.

    Its important to takethe time to listen and carefor the bodys engine.

    Fill up the gas tank inthe morning to keep goingall day. Dont skip break-fast. Eat one egg or aprotein shake. Try to havethree meals a day withfruit/veggies/nuts inbetween. The root of mostmajor health issues,including adrenal fatigueis a diet high in sugar andprocessed foods.

    Take breaks during theday when you can. Reju-venate your body and

    mind by going for a walk,sit outside to soak in somesun and vitamin D, take

    some deep breaths at yourdesk. Practice journalingpositive goals or thoughts,meditate on scripture orpray.

    These quiet times mayallow you to reflect onhow you ended up withadrenal fatigue in the firstplace. Its your choicehow you can make achange to recharge yourbattery. Your body is yourvehicle to take youthrough the rest of yourlife. Start today to restoreit back to the classicperson you are and bringyourself back to life.

    safety and start-uprequirements for childcare businesses.

    A few of the topicscovered in the workshopwill include definingappropriate group size andnumber of adults per chil-dren and otherrequirements necessaryfor licensing, whichincludes having a staff trained in first aid andCPR and having a staff that is trained in childdevelopment.

    Licensed care has therequirements that supportbasic health and safety,Leffers said, She saidEarly Childhood Alliancealso educates parents who

    call in for referrals aboutwhat they should belooking for in a carecenter for their children.

    We talk to parentsabout what they should belooking for, she said.

    As an agency, weknow that the early child-hood years are times of rapid brain growth.

    Leffers said that it isimportant for a youngchilds development thatthe care environment issafe, healthy and that thepeople are nurturing.

    We know that noteveryone will choose topick a licensed programand thats fine. We explainwhat the options are inIndiana.

    The difference betweenlicensed and unlicensedchild care varies. Indianarequires that most types of child care programsobtain a state license, butthere are exceptions.

    Child care ministriesand home child careprograms that care for nomore than five unrelatedchildren are not included.

    Were unique inIndiana, Leffers said.There are churchprograms that can bereally great and volun-tarily meet requir ements.

    But in the St. Joe read-ership area, the shortagesin licensed care couldimpact the options of many parents.

    In the 46815 ZIP code,there are 14 licensedfamily child care homesand in the 46835 ZIPcode, there are 10 licensedfamily child care homes.

    Leffers said offering theorientation sessions andworkshops can help createmore options for families.

    For us, we want tobuild capacity so thatwhen people call us, wehave something for them,she said.

    Beyond basic work-shops and orientations,Early Childhood Alliancealso offers a distinctionbetween licensed carecenters and homes, withthe Paths to Qualityprogram. The programstarted in Allen Countyspecifically and now it isstate-wide.

    We have over 200child care programs in our

    area that are partici-pating, Leffers said. Shesaid Paths to Qualitydesignees indicate centersand homes that have goneabove and beyond forstandards.

    The participating homesand centers can receivedistinctions on four levels,Level 1, through Level 4.

    The first level coversbasic health and safetyrequirements, whereas thesecond level indicates anenvironment that isplanned to support thelearning of children.

    The third level indicates

    the home or center has aplanned curriculum. Thefinal level indicates thatthe business has earned anaccreditation from anational organization.

    There are 40 Level 4centers or homes in AllenCounty, she said.

    Starting in May, parentswill also be able to seewhat Paths to Qualityhomes and centers look like, on the Web beforeeven checking out thelocation in person.

    But for right now, thebig push is to help homecare centers go throughthe first steps of licensing.

    We are able to havesupport for them as they

    go through the licensing,Leffers said.The alliance also makes

    child care referrals toparents who are seekingcare. Parents can call thesame number, or visitwww.ecalliance.org andclick on a child caresearch button.

    We would love to hearfrom people, she said.They can request apacket from us withgeneral information orcall us to register.
