Advancing<br />
into summer<br />
I planted a garden on April 22, Earth Day – which happens to be my birthday – for<br />
the first time in years. Over the next few months, I hope to have a healthy harvest of<br />
potatoes, radishes, green beans, onions and cucumbers.<br />
The home my family moved into a year ago came with<br />
its own mini-orchard, complete with raspberry and blackberry<br />
bushes and cherry, peach, pear and apple trees. Last<br />
summer we were pleasantly surprised as each bush and<br />
tree began to bloom.<br />
This summer we will be more prepared for the (hopefully)<br />
bountiful harvest. Check out the Balance website,<br />
www.corridorbusiness.com/balance, for updates and recipes,<br />
and feel free to send me your garden updates and<br />
recipes to share on our web and social media pages.<br />
In the meantime, our second issue of Balance focuses<br />
on alternative health therapies and advances in medical<br />
technology. On the cover of this issue is Ryan Resin, of<br />
Iowa City, who is adjusting to life with a bionic hand.<br />
Injured in an explosion in 2004, Mr. Resin used different<br />
prosthetics such as a hook before becoming only<br />
the second person in the United States to be fitted with a<br />
“Bebionic” hand from the United Kingdom-based Steeper<br />
Group (page 12). The state-of-the-art prosthetic gives<br />
him more flexibility in everyday tasks, as well as in his<br />
burgeoning photography career. Another unintended bonus is that people think it<br />
makes him look like “Iron Man,” and even ask him for his autograph.<br />
Health clubs and treatments are also evolving, with providers in the Corridor now<br />
offering the latest in alternative therapies, such as cryotherapy, flotation therapy and<br />
halotherapy (page 8). Whether it’s spending time in a chamber at 260 degrees below<br />
zero or floating on water filled with 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt, everyone from athletes<br />
to those with chronic pain are trying new therapies and finding natural relief.<br />
Speaking of new therapies, in this issue’s Q&A, we talk to Dr. Suzanne Bartlett<br />
Hackenmiller, who specializes in integrative medicine – an emerging field that focuses<br />
on the patient holistically, rather than just medically (page 22). Learn what<br />
motivated her to practice integrative medicine and what techniques she uses.<br />
If you’re having a hard time getting motivated to exercise, consider joining a group<br />
activity. Social workouts are all the rage as they promote activities not just confined<br />
to a gym and give participants a sense of camaraderie. See a sampling of what’s going<br />
on in the Corridor this summer on page 18.<br />
Also in this issue, writer Cindy Hadish and photographer Shuva Rahim give you<br />
an in-depth look at the new University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital<br />
(page 5). The 14-story, $360 million facility opened to patients in February, and was<br />
designed to promote a healing environment. Everything from the shape and colors<br />
of the walls to the large windows with panoramic views of trees, flowers and even<br />
Kinnick Stadium, was planned with the well-being of the patients in mind.<br />
Here’s to a healthy and bountiful summer ahead.<br />
