Hello... Katie Ensign, vice president of Community Impact and Investment at Baptist Health, gives us an update on our latest community benefit initiative. In alignment with our mission to advance the health of the community, Baptist Health has invested in the first phase of the Emerald Trail project in Jacksonville - a vibrant 30-mile walking and biking path that will encircle the urban core and link more than a dozen historic neighborhoods to downtown, Hogans Creek, McCoys Creek and the St. Johns River. Our specific contribution to the development of the Emerald Trail will focus on the LaVilla Link, a 1.3-mile stretch connecting the Brooklyn and LaVilla neighborhoods of downtown Jacksonville with the natural beauty of the S-Line Rail Trail. The LaVilla Link will feature several signature points of interest like the Park Street Bridge and the Lee Street Pond. It will also honor the LaVilla neighborhood through wayfinding storyboards and public art installations and connect to historic landmarks such as Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing Park, which honors two of Jacksonville's most famous residents, James Weldon Johnson, and his brother John Rosamond Johnson. Once the LaVilla Link is open for public recreation in early 2024, Baptist Health plans to collaborate with community partners to activate this key portion of the trail for community events like: n n n
Walks with a doc Health screenings Stress-busting yoga
n n
Blue Zones activities Safe Kids activities
We're going to bring health resources into the community by using the spaces along the LaVilla Link as engagement locations for fun, educational activities for the entire family. The vitality of this area as a gathering place will continue long beyond the opening of the trail.

Much-needed repairs Mechanic back to work after undergoing deep vein surgery. By Johnny Woodhouse
Gordon Roberts had been suffering from pain and swelling in his right leg for more than a month but thought he could work through it. But when his right leg suddenly went numb while driving home from work, the 62-year-old mechanic knew he needed medical help. “I asked a friend of mine to take me straight to an emergency room,” he said. “When I got there, they couldn’t find a pulse in my leg. It had turned completely purple.” Little did Roberts know, but blood clots had formed in his leg causing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a life-threatening condition that occurs when blood flow in veins slows down or becomes blocked. If left untreated, blood clots can break free and travel through the circulatory system, potentially shutting down a vital organ like the heart or the lungs. “I could have died if any one of those clots had let go,” Roberts said.
Minimally invasive treatment options After being prescribed blood-thinning medication to help dissolve the clots, Roberts had his sights set on returning to his maintenance position at a large scrap metal recycling plant.

But the pain in his leg persisted to the point where he couldn’t even walk. That’s when he sought out more advanced treatment at Baptist Health. “When blood clots in the legs are not responding to medicines, there are other minimally invasive options for clot removal, such as surgically removing the clots and placing stents or balloons in the veins to keep them open and restore blood flow,” said Nayan Agarwal, MD, FACC, an interventional cardiologist with Baptist Heart Specialists. “Chronic blood clots, like the ones Mr. Roberts had, are very tough to remove. That was the biggest challenge in his case.” Dr. Agarwal used a special surgical catheter to collect and remove chronic blood clots in three of Roberts’ veins, including the inferior vena cava (IVC), the largest vein in the human body. He also inserted a special protective sheath in the IVC and deployed a retrieval device within the IVC to prevent any blood clots from migrating to the lungs. After removing the blood clots, Dr. Agarwal placed stents in Roberts’ veins to open any residual blockages. The surgery, which was performed in a specialized operating suite known as the cardiac catheterization lab at Baptist Medical Center South, took several hours. Dr. Agarwal, who is director of the catheterization lab at Baptist South, was assisted by interventional cardiologist Bharat Gummadi, MD, FACC. Afterwards, Roberts
spent one day recovering in a non-intensive care unit room before being discharged. “I returned to work the following week. Everybody there couldn’t believe I was back,” said Roberts, whose maintenance job at the scrap yard includes crawling along conveyor belts and climbing ladders to change oil and replace filters on large cranes. “I’ve turned wrenches my whole life, so I’m usually on my feet all day. I need my legs to work properly.”
“There’s a fix for this” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the precise number of people affected by DVT is unknown, although as many as 900,000 people could be affected each year in the United States. Risk factors for DVT include being too sedentary due to bed rest or sitting too long without moving. People with a family history of blood clots are also susceptible to forming a thrombosis. Dr. Agarwal said Roberts may have had a congenital condition that caused a large vein in his abdomen to become blocked over time or he may have a rare vascular anomaly which makes him prone to form blood clots.
Previous page, left: As a maintenance mechanic, Roberts climbs up heavy lifting equipment like large cranes to change oil and fuel filters. Above: Roberts with his 10-year-old daughter.
“If I had waited any longer to seek treatment, I could have lost my leg and that would have been the end of my career,” he said. “I’m a single dad raising a 10-year-old daughter, so quitting is out of the question.” CC Interventional cardiologists with Baptist Heart Specialists are committed to delivering the highest standard of care every step of the way. To learn more, visit baptistjax.com/heart or call 904.720.0799.
Going forward, Dr. Agarwal said Roberts, who now takes anticoagulant medication, will need to be evaluated every six months to make sure he is not forming any additional blood clots. “There’s always a risk for that, but if we find another clot, I can go in right away and remove it before it has a chance to become any larger,” he added. “People should know there is a fix for this complex venous condition.” Had he not had surgery, Roberts, who works 60 hours a week, was destined for early retirement.

Finding their voices Recording studio provides musical outlet for pediatric patients. By Melissa Seguin
It should come as no surprise that many of Morgan Maxwell’s favorite patient stories at Wolfson Children’s Hospital involve songwriting. One in particular features a young girl in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit who helped manage her pain through music and guided imagery. Before long, the patient, who was involved in a car accident, started writing songs about the hospital, her nurses and her parents, and everything that was hard about being hurt. “Music therapy became her safe place. It helped her remain calm and have an outlet to express herself,” said Maxwell, BM, one of three board-certified music therapists at Wolfson Children’s. By the time the patient was ready to transition to a rehab facility, she had started to learn how to play the ukulele with Maxwell’s help. Those skills allowed the patient to continue coping through her rehab, while also working on her muscle movements. A talented singer and guitarist, Maxwell started dreaming of creating a recording studio at the pediatric hospital a few years ago.

Earlier this year, her dream became a reality, thanks to a generous gift by Christ’s Starfish Foundation. The charitable donation allowed Maxwell and the hospital’s two other music therapists, Dannielle Caldwell, BM, and Caroline Cox, MM, to turn unused office space into a recording studio equipped with guitars, keyboards, drums, microphones and a computer with audio and video editing systems. The studio, which is located on Wolfson 6, also includes an adaptable desk so all patients can

access the recording equipment and acoustic wall tiles to provide better sound in the room. There is even a table and chairs for the patient’s family to join in on the fun. “It’s a safe space that’s full of fun and an opportunity for patients to feel like kids” said Caldwell, who helped design the studio with Maxwell. Recently, a patient who underwent a bone marrow transplant worked with Caldwell to write and record songs about her blood disorder and treatment, including a song about vampires.
The patient used her own heartbeat as the rhythm behind her lyrics and was able to take her recordings with her after being discharged. “The studio is so meaningful for our patients,” said Caldwell. “They can come in and make their own choices about what instruments to use, how their song will sound. It gives them some control when there is so much in the hospital that isn’t up to them.”
‘Heartbeat bears’ Music therapy services are also meaningful to patient families as they offer memory-making and legacy-building services. “Heartbeat Bears,” which feature a recording of a child’s heartbeat, provide families with a tangible memory that will outlast their stay. If families are looking for a more creative process, music therapists can write songs with families and set the lyrics to a track that features the child’s heartbeat. If the child cannot come to the studio, a portable recording system can be wheeled to the patient’s room. “Our mobile recording studio cart allows us to go right into ICU units and work with patients or families,” said Maxwell, who specializes in supporting critical and medically complex patients. “Without this equipment, we wouldn’t be able to work with so many of our patients and families who might not be able to leave their hospital rooms.” In addition to using recording studio services to guide patients and families through their hospital journey, music therapists provide a host of Top right: Oncology patient Tae and his sister participate in a holiday video produced by the music therapy team.

other services, such as helping hematology and oncology patients relax during certain procedures and IV or port placements. “Another way we can use the recording studio is to incentivize patients,” said Caldwell. “Patients may be nervous about a procedure or working 14 l Care Connection
toward certain benchmarks, such as physical therapy goals, so we tell them that once they get through the procedure or hit those benchmarks, we will take the song we’ve been working on into the studio and finally record it. It gives them something to look forward to.”

For Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) patients, positive sound reinforcement from specially trained music therapists like Cox helps infants build positive associations with sound to counter negative experiences from sounds of alarms and monitors. Lyric analysis also helps patients at Wolfson Children’s, especially in the behavioral health unit. Whether it’s in a group setting or one-on-one session, music therapists analyze preexisting songs with patients and relate the lyrics back to individual situations, helping to strengthen coping skills. “By using music, we are able to help children advocate for themselves and for better care when they are confused or in pain,” said Caldwell. “Sometimes what they can’t say in words, they are able to say through music.” CC

5 QUESTIONS
This month we talk with Morgan Maxwell, BM, a board-certified music therapist with the Family Support Services team at Wolfson Children’s Hospital.
Q: How long have you been a Baptist Health team member? A: I joined Wolfson Children’s in August 2020 after working as a music therapist for children with autism in my home state of Tennessee.
Q: What inspired you to enter the health care profession? A: When I was still in high school, my grandmother suffered from a memory disorder. One day, I was able to bring music to her bedside. She suddenly became aware and began talking with me and my family. In that moment, I knew there had to be something important happening. Little did I know there was an entire profession focused on the neurological impact of music.
Q: How does music serve as therapy for children at the hospital? A: Music therapy provides opportunities for children to express themselves, relax, create songs, and move their bodies. In the hospital, music therapy helps to create a safe environment to do all these things while adapting to patients’ illness, injury, and needs.
Q: What’s something people may not know about you? A: I co-host a podcast with fellow music therapist Danielle Caldwell. It’s titled “Music Till Proven Therapy.” We celebrated our first anniversary in September and dropped our 38th episode in early November. We created the podcast to provide a platform for college students majoring in music therapy and to help newly employed music therapists grow in the profession.
Q: What do you like to do in your spare time? A: I love to be outside and would be all of the time if I could. I love hiking, biking, and camping. I often travel with my fiancé for the best trails and campsites. Morgan Maxwell, BM Board-certified music therapist, Family Support Services team, Wolfson Children’s Hospital
