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 />

The Stress and Pain Free<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.”


Spotlight on —<br />

Jason johnson<br />

General Manager, Southgate Super Vision Center<br />

| 1-800-EYE-CARE (1-800-393-2273)<br />

4<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 />
