In 10 Weeks, Find a<br />
Stress-Free, Pain-Free Life!<br />
Now in its fifth year, the Stress and Pain Free Living Program at <strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Ford</strong><br />
<strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> offers community members with chronic health conditions —<br />
such as back pain, headaches, anxiety, high blood pressure, and obesity —<br />
the opportunity to take control of stress and pain.<br />
“I went to the program with my arms crossed because I couldn’t believe this<br />
could actually help,” says Connie Franklin, a Medical Charge Analyst at<br />
<strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Ford</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong>.<br />
Connie has suffered from cerebral palsy, degenerative arthritis, and<br />
stenosis of the spine. After receiving an interoffice email about the<br />
program, she decided to give it a try.<br />
“I was 54 years old and walking around like my aunt Lulu, who is 79. I had<br />
three canes and a mobilizer at the time. I was looking for a better quality of<br />
life for myself,” Connie says. “Participating in the program helped me let go<br />
of a lot of personal stuff I didn’t know was compounding my physical health.”<br />
“We help people identify any dysfunctional patterns in their lives contributing<br />
to their pain and stress, and help them correct those patterns in a way that lets<br />
them find substantial relief and can even eliminate certain conditions,” says Robert<br />
A. Levine, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Integrative Wellness and Integrative<br />
Wellness Research at <strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Ford</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong>.<br />
The 10-week program teaches people how to:<br />
• Relax overly tense muscles in the body<br />
• Release mental tension that contributes to stress and anxiety<br />
• Correct dysfunctional walking, sitting or standing, and other daily activities<br />
• Control their bodies’ responses to stress<br />
Within just a month, Connie saw a reduction in pain and stress. She was<br />
able to reduce her use of pain medication drastically, give up her<br />
walking-assistance devices, and even take a five-day hiking trip<br />
without using her medications.<br />
In addition, the movement routines used in the program<br />
helped Connie lose about 20 pounds.<br />

out how to take part in this<br />
life-altering program, visit<br />

and take a quick<br />
informational survey.<br />
“We teach people to do simple movements designed to<br />
recognize muscles that are in excess contraction and burning<br />
excess energy, and then release those muscles to become relaxed,”<br />
explains Levine. “Relaxed muscles burn less energy, which helps<br />
people experience less pain and fatigue and feel energized.”

General Manager, Southgate Super Vision Center<br />

Jason Johnson knows that the<br />
Southgate Super Vision Center,<br />
where he’s General Manager, is<br />
not only part of a company. It’s<br />
also part of a community. Reaching<br />
out to his neighbors is important<br />
to Jason, a Downriver native.<br />
Recently, InFocus talked with<br />
Jason about how he uses his job<br />
to make a difference.<br />
Q:<br />
What was your<br />
first taste of<br />
community outreach at <strong>Henry</strong><br />
<strong>Ford</strong> OptimEyes (HFO)?<br />
A:<br />
All the HFO offices are<br />
active in raising money for<br />
Camp Erin Detroit. This is a<br />
weekend-long camp for children<br />
and teens who have experienced<br />
the death of someone they love.<br />
When I first joined the company,<br />
back in 2009, I had a lifelong<br />
friend, the mother of two little<br />
girls, who was struggling with<br />
cancer. She later passed away. It<br />
meant a lot to think that our<br />
raffles, bake sales, and other<br />
fund-raisers were helping<br />
families such as hers.<br />
Q:<br />
I heard that<br />
you found a<br />
creative way to get<br />
your coworkers<br />
involved. What did<br />
you do?<br />
A:<br />
In 2010, when I was in<br />
my previous position at<br />
the Westland Super Vision<br />
Center, I pledged to let the staff<br />
shave my head if we raised a<br />
certain amount of money for<br />
Camp Erin. They made sure we<br />
hit that goal!<br />
Q:<br />
A:<br />
Have you started any<br />
new community<br />
projects at Southgate?<br />
Last year, we participated in<br />
Movember for the first time.<br />
This is a month-long event<br />
to raise awareness and<br />
money for men’s cancer.<br />
All the men in our office,<br />
myself included, grew<br />
moustaches. We also gave fake<br />
moustaches to everyone who made<br />
a donation, and we posted their<br />
pictures on the wall. It was a<br />
lot of fun for a worthy cause.<br />
The proceeds went to the<br />
<strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Ford</strong> Josephine <strong>Ford</strong><br />
Cancer Center – Downriver.<br />
Q:<br />
A:<br />
Why is giving back so<br />
important to you?<br />
It’s the way I was raised. I<br />
was adopted by parents<br />
who already had two biological<br />
children, but who decided to<br />
adopt two more. I grew<br />
up in a Downriver<br />
community where<br />
people really care<br />
about their neighbors.<br />
Now I’m working for a<br />
company that encourages<br />
its employees to get involved.<br />
I consider myself very fortunate,<br />
and I’m glad to have the chance to<br />
give something back.<br />

Your Medical Records:<br />
Now Completely Paperless!<br />
When you think of your medical<br />
records, what do you see? If you<br />
imagine a stack of charts and<br />
forms stuffed into a folder, think<br />
again. <strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Ford</strong> OptimEyes<br />
(HFO) is now one of the first<br />
large optometric group practices<br />
in Michigan to use an electronic<br />
medical record (EMR). This<br />
state-of-the-art technology<br />
reduces errors and improves care,<br />
while offering a greener<br />
alternative to paper records.<br />
Fewer Errors, Greater Efficiency<br />
Moving to all-digital records<br />
provides huge benefits for both<br />
doctors and patients.<br />
“Eye care is very numbersdriven,”<br />
says Dr. Larry Olson,<br />
Optometrist in Charge at the<br />
HFO Troy Super Vision Center.<br />
“The EMR allows us to do a<br />
much better job of recording<br />
information and greatly reduces<br />
the risk of human error.”<br />
The EMR also enables a more<br />
efficient doctor’s office.<br />
“We can eliminate a lot of<br />
confusion that might have been<br />
caused by being unable to read<br />
someone’s handwriting or locate<br />
records,” says Dr. Jackie Youn,<br />
Optometrist in Charge at the HFO<br />
Westland Super Vision Center.<br />
“Now, everything we need is at<br />
our fingertips.”<br />
The ability to view a patient’s<br />
entire medical history also helps<br />
HFO doctors see trends more clearly.<br />
“Some of my patient records<br />
date back decades and can be<br />
very complex,” Dr. Olson adds.<br />
“With the EMR, I can pull up<br />
your complete record and see,<br />
at a glance, how things have<br />
changed over the years. It’s<br />
much more efficient than trying<br />
to scan through pages and pages<br />
of paper charts.”<br />
Why You’ll Dig Digital<br />
EMRs also make things faster<br />
and easier for patients. For<br />
example, HFO patients no longer<br />
have to rely on handwritten<br />
prescriptions. Now, our doctors<br />
enter your prescriptions digitally<br />
and transmit them directly to<br />
the pharmacy.<br />
Another major benefit is that<br />
medical records no longer need to<br />
be transferred between HFO<br />
locations. All HFO doctors now<br />
see exactly the same information.<br />
The EMR will soon be linked with<br />
the larger <strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Ford</strong> <strong>Health</strong><br />
<strong>System</strong> (HFHS) as well.<br />
“There is a lot of overlap<br />
between HFO and HFHS,” says<br />
Dr. Olson. “A patient may be<br />
referred to us for a diabetic eye<br />
exam, for example, or we may<br />
refer someone out for surgery.<br />
In the near future, every doctor<br />
in the system involved in the<br />
patient’s care will have the same<br />
complete picture of that patient.”<br />
Trees Love It, Too<br />
The new EMR is also eco-friendly.<br />
Traditional medical records<br />
generate about 10 to 12 pieces of<br />
paper for every patient exam. The<br />
EMR uses almost no paper at all.<br />
That’s better for the environment,<br />
and it reduces the need to store<br />
thousands of paper records in the<br />
office — freeing up space for new<br />
instruments or exam rooms.<br />

HFO’s New<br />
Covergirl and Timberland Frames<br />
Ever wondered what would happen if<br />
you combined the soft, feminine colors<br />
of classic Covergirl makeup with the<br />
latest breakthrough technology in<br />
crafting eyeglass frames . . . to produce<br />
a striking new look for girls and women<br />
who wear prescription lenses?<br />
The answer requires only a single<br />
word, according to eyewear expert Arta<br />
Isovski: “Wow!”<br />
“Everybody knows about the<br />
‘Covergirl look’ in makeup,” says<br />
Isovski, Senior Brand Manager at trendy<br />
Marcolin in New York City. “For millions<br />
of fashion-conscious girls and women,<br />
Covergirl means soft, fluid gracefulness<br />
combined with bright colors and subtler<br />
pastels to produce a uniquely<br />
feminine effect.<br />
“And now that same exciting look —<br />
along with the latest in frame design<br />
and manufacturing — has begun to<br />
transform girls’ and women’s eyewear.<br />
For anybody who wants to look terrific<br />
in a pair of glasses, Marcolin’s recent<br />
design breakthrough will be very good<br />
news indeed.”<br />
Updated recently, the new Designed<br />
2 Fit line of Marcolin frames is the<br />
result of a savvy collaboration between<br />
the traditional Covergirl style and newer<br />
design elements aimed at both<br />
highlighting and softening larger facial<br />
features. “These new frames feature<br />
specially designed wider fronts and<br />
expanded temple lengths to create<br />
an aura of understated elegance,”<br />
says Isovski.<br />
“The really exciting thing about the<br />
design breakthrough is the way it lets us<br />
craft frames that emphasize the<br />
wearer’s femininity,” she adds. “Thanks<br />
to these new production values, younger<br />
and older women alike can now own<br />
highly affordable eyewear with eyecatching<br />
appeal.”<br />
Along with the new Covergirl-inspired<br />
Designed 2 Fit line, Marcolin recently<br />
unveiled a wilderness-oriented set<br />
of Timberland frames for men.<br />
Crafted especially for the<br />
outdoorsman who loves to spend time<br />
paddling a kayak or hiking a mountain<br />
trail, the new frames “are all about<br />
celebrating your relationship with the<br />
environment,” says Isovski. “This exciting<br />
line is for the outdoors enthusiast who’s<br />
looking for eyewear that will last, while<br />
also enhancing his vision as he chases a<br />
rainbow trout along a rocky stream or<br />
builds a fire in a forest clearing.<br />
“The Timberland frames are both<br />
comfortable and classic in shape.<br />
They’re also durable, while leaving tons<br />
of room for personal style. With their<br />
longer temples and their laid-back but<br />
stylish flair, this new collection of<br />
Timberlands will speak volumes about<br />
the men who wear them in the wild!”<br />

FROM OUR<br />
PARTNERS IN<br />
OPHTHALMOLOGY<br />
Diabetes and Your Eyes:<br />
Focus on Retinopathy<br />
Diabetes is the leading cause<br />
of blindness in the U.S. It<br />
increases the risk for eye<br />
conditions such as glaucoma<br />
and cataracts, as well as<br />
diabetic retinopathy.<br />
“Retinopathy, a common diabetesrelated<br />
eye condition, affects the<br />
retina — the light-sensitive tissue at<br />
the back of the eye,” says <strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Ford</strong><br />
ophthalmologist Robert M. Levine,<br />
M.D. “At first, patients may not have<br />
symptoms. But over time, their vision<br />
gets worse if the eyes’ blood vessels<br />
swell and leak fluid or abnormal<br />
vessels grow on the retina.”<br />
If diabetic retinopathy is<br />
identified early (see sidebar), vision<br />
loss can be prevented. Controlling<br />
your blood sugar, blood pressure,<br />
and cholesterol levels can help.<br />
However, if you have<br />
retinopathy that’s already<br />
progressed, the good news is<br />
<strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Ford</strong> offers the latest<br />
treatments, including:<br />
• Injections — Two injectable<br />
medications, Lucentis and Avastin,<br />
have been shown in studies to<br />
successfully slow the growth of<br />
abnormal vessels that leak blood<br />
and fluid behind the retina.<br />
• Lasers — Advanced laser<br />
technology can shrink abnormal<br />
blood vessels.<br />
• Surgery — A procedure called<br />
vitrectomy may be performed to<br />
remove excess blood and fluid.<br />
<strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Ford</strong> Medical Group eye<br />
surgeons use an approach that<br />
doesn’t require stitches and that<br />
results in better outcomes than<br />
traditional surgery.<br />
<strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Ford</strong> has one of the<br />
largest centers in the country for<br />
the screening, treatment, and<br />
research of diabetes-related eye<br />
diseases. To learn more or to<br />

ophthalmologist, call<br />

Catching<br />
Retinopathy Early<br />
In most cases, diabetic retinopathy can<br />
be detected during a comprehensive dilated<br />
eye exam. The American Academy of<br />
Ophthalmology recommends the following<br />
screening schedule:<br />
> Type 1 diabetes: within five years of being<br />
diagnosed with diabetes, then annually<br />
> Type 2 diabetes: at the time you are<br />
diagnosed with diabetes, then annually<br />
> Pregnant women with diabetes:<br />
during your first trimester<br />

New Progressive<br />
Lenses Provide<br />
‘Astonishing’<br />
Power, Say Wearers<br />
no lines!!<br />
It’s official: HFO’s recently launched Ideal Advanced progressive lenses are poised<br />
to become the gold standard for clarity and accuracy among savvy consumers.<br />
{<br />
*<br />
“These newly engineered lenses<br />
aren’t just better than the older<br />
versions — they’re terrifically<br />
better,” says Bill Dufort, HFO’s<br />
longtime Director of Laboratory<br />
Operations. “Thanks to an<br />
exciting breakthrough in lens<br />
design, your vision can now<br />
shift effortlessly from one range<br />
of distance to the next while<br />
wearing glasses.”<br />
According to the HFO optics<br />
expert, these powerful new<br />
progressives move the<br />
prescription area of the lens<br />
closer to your eye by putting it<br />
on the back of the lens instead<br />
of the front.<br />
The result, says Dufort, is<br />
“enhanced clarity, accuracy, and<br />
visual comfort” that has<br />
amazed eyeglass wearers in<br />
recent tests.<br />
“These new Ideal Advanced<br />
lenses just came off the drawing<br />
board a year ago,” says Dufort,<br />
“but we’re already hearing from<br />
amazed wearers who say they’ve<br />
never experienced anything like<br />
this before.<br />
“The great thing about this<br />
new lens-crafting technology is<br />
the way it lets your eyes move<br />
effortlessly from near tasks,<br />
such as reading, to mid-range<br />
tasks, such as working on a<br />
computer, to long distance.”<br />
Another benefit: wider fields<br />
of vision in each distance range.<br />
“The people who’ve been<br />
wearing these new progressives<br />
in tests have been astonished,”<br />
says Dufort. “The typical<br />
comment we’re hearing is:<br />
I can’t believe the difference;<br />
the wider viewing area is<br />
remarkable for both<br />
near and far vision.”<br />
Designed without the<br />
unsightly lines that appear on<br />
traditional bifocals, progressive<br />
lenses are increasingly<br />
popular among modern,<br />
fashion-forward consumers<br />
who want to look good<br />
while seeing well.<br />
“The new Ideal<br />
Advanced lenses combine<br />
impeccable design with<br />
state-of-the-art<br />
fabrication methods,”<br />
says Dufort. “The<br />
results will amaze<br />
wearers when they<br />
get their first look<br />
through these<br />
new lenses.”<br />
Available now, and<br />
specially priced to be<br />
affordable, the Ideal<br />
!<br />
Advanced progressives are<br />
going to be in great demand,<br />
says Dufort. “They say that<br />
seeing is believing, and when<br />
it comes to these new<br />
lenses, that certainly<br />
rings true!”<br />

1-800-EYE-CARE: The Only Number<br />
You Need for <strong>Health</strong>y Eyes<br />
Have you scheduled your annual eye exam yet? Making<br />
your appointment at any <strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Ford</strong> OptimEyes (HFO)<br />
location is as easy as calling 1-800-EYE-CARE. This<br />
one number connects you to the HFO Contact Center.<br />
“The Contact Center is a single point of contact for<br />
patients,” says Gail Elias, Finance Director of HFO.<br />
“You’ll reach a real person, located at the HFO<br />
headquarters in Madison Heights.”<br />
Quick & Convenient<br />
When you call the Contact Center, one of our<br />
enthusiastic, friendly representatives will help you<br />
schedule an appointment at any of the 17 HFO locations.<br />
“If you’re a new patient, the Contact Center can help you<br />
find the location nearest you,” Elias says.<br />
A few days before your appointment, you’ll receive<br />
a reminder call from the Contact Center. What’s more,<br />
if you have an emergency and need a same-day<br />
appointment, the Contact Center can schedule that, too.<br />
“The Contact Center is also committed to making<br />
sure that high-risk patients, such as those with<br />
diabetes and glaucoma, receive their annual eye<br />
exams,” Elias says. For these people, an annual exam is<br />
crucial to prevent vision loss.<br />
Open 7 Days a Week<br />
You can reach a representative at the Contact Center<br />
any day of the week. The hours are Monday through<br />
Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and<br />
Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.<br />
“Having one central place for making appointments<br />
increases the likelihood that patients receive the eye<br />
care they need,” Elias says. “It’s another way that HFO is<br />
committed to helping patients maintain healthy sight.”<br />
