1971 Contributed Photo Today, Memorial Hermann Greater Heights admits more than 11,000 patients and provides care for approximately 60,000 emergency department visits each year. The hospital is home to nationally-recognized programs in heart and vascular care, cancer screening and treatment, total joint replacement, and top tier rehabilitation, as well as women’s care and a Level III Trauma emergency center.
Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital continues growth as it turns 50 years old The debut of Medicare was less than six months away, a gallon of gas cost 32 cents, the average home price in the United States was $14,200 and Houston’s Interstate 610 was years from becoming “The Loop” when Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital opened its doors for the first time in January 1966. Now 50 years young, the hospital continues to serve the Greater Heights communities and will celebrate its golden anniversary throughout the year with expanded healthcare services, facility enhancements and a host of community and employee events. “We are so proud to have provided people with quality healthcare for the last 50 years,” said Sr. Vice President and CEO of Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Susan Jadlowski. “We’ve grown with the community generation after generation and we are excited about our growth now and for the years to come.” Primary care physician Tara Shani, M.D., who began working at the hospital in 1980, has seen the growth of Memorial Hermann Greater Heights on multiple levels.
“I still treat families which have evolved into a third generation: grandparents, parents and now their children,” Dr. Shani said. Physicians have grown at the hospital as well, including Dr. Shani’s son, orthopedic surgeon Raj Shani, M.D., who used to attend rounds with his mother as a child. The Shanis are one of four families with two genera-
tions of physicians concurrently affiliated with the hospital. “It’s a proud moment for me to see my son working in the same place where I started,” Dr. Tara Shani said. “Maybe my grandchildren will be physicians here one day.” The growth of Memorial Hermann Greater Heights was See Turning 50 P. 7B

Move Better, Live Better
FROM YOUR NEIGHBOR
with
FELDENKRAIS®
When life is like the Rodeo bit more. Move them up just a tad, toward your ears, and then return them home. Do this a few times, slowly and gently. You’ll find that your shoulders relax more each time. Slow down During the hilarious Mutton Bustin’ event, tiny children run, full tilt, after lots of wily lambs. You, however, can take your time to slow down and focus on one thing at a time. Try this: When you stand up, take a moment to feel your feet on the floor. Make sure your toes are pointed in the direction you wish to travel, then begin to walk. You can improve your balance and safety with this one small action. Slow down and take your time.
By MaryBeth Smith For The Leader My childhood was filled with performances. Dance, choir, and theater revealed me to be a natural ham. I returned to performing as an adult after a stint in corporate America, earned an advanced degree, and began to teach students in the performing arts at the university level. Whenever I encountered a kid who was smart, talented, and dedicated who couldn’t get their act together, I always wondered: why do some people have a hard time doing what they want to do? This question led me to become a teacher of the Feldenkrais Method®( rhymes with “Feels so nice”). The ingenious form of movement education changed my life as I recovered after a serious medical emergency, and it became my passion. I now help people learn, through movement, what is stopping them from being able to “perform” their everyday activities, like walking, balancing, turning, or reaching. People learn to move with less pain and difficulty, and with more pleasure, accomplishment, and joy. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is about to begin. I can’t resist saying, “Honey, this ain’t my first Rodeo!” Despite our wisdom and life experiences, it’s easy to fall into unconscious habits of movement that obstruct us from our desires, or cause pain and difficulty. When life seems as chaotic as Mutton Bustin’, scary as riding a bucking bronco, or grueling as a trail ride, here are some simple actions to interrupt your habit and lead you back to happier trails. Get up Feeling saddle-sore from too much sitting? Humans are not meant to maintain one position indefinitely. We

are meant to move. At least once each hour, stand up, walk down the hall, change your position, wiggle. You’ll return to your desk (or your TV program) refreshed and much more comfortable. Loosen your grip Chances are, you are not riding a wild animal or racing around barrels. Where do you hang on - your shoulders, your jaw, your low back? Try this simple experiment: if you notice your shoulders feel tight and are high up around your ears, gently see if you can tighten them just a little
MaryBeth Smith, FELDENKRAIS Center of Houston.
The FELDENKRAIS METHOD
After 20 years working with emerging arts performers, I found my passion in movement and learning. When a medical emergency sidelined my performing career, I found the FELDENKRAIS METHOD® and made a full recovery. I became a FELDENKRAIS teacher, and now help people learn new ways to move with greater comfort, ease, and skill. Call today to see if this non-medical approach can help you.

HeartCare from P. 1B each surgery,” says Dr. Macris. “Over the past 10 years, we have consistently performed at or above the national average for cardiovascular surgeries.” Improving Outcomes One of the standout features of the cardiovascular program is a dedicated singlestay cardiovascular ICU. This allows patients recovering from cardiovascular surgery to stay in one place with a consistent care team. “Patients in the single-stay cardiovascular unit start with one-on-one nursing care,” says Dr. Macris. “Memorial Hermann Greater Heights has an excellent nursing staff, which is evidenced by high patient satisfaction scores.” Another component of the hospital’s cardiovascular program that improves patient outcomes following heart surgery or a diagnosis of heart disease is a cardiac rehabilitation program. This customized program features exercise, education and lifestyle changes supervised by medical professionals who specialize in heart care. “The cardiac rehabilitation program helps heart patients recover as quickly as possible, improves their functional performance and helps reduce their risk of future heart problems,” says Dr. Macris.

said. “Statistics show that 22 percent of state drowning deaths occur in the Houston area. The Y is committed to eliminate drowning, and that’s shown in how our programs like youth sports and healthy living initiatives are completely free and open to the community.” The YMCA has also been supported by local partners like Allegiance Bank, which helped fund free swim programs for underprivileged area youth. Any child enrolled in the organization’s day camp can also take advantage of a minimum of eight free water safety courses provided to them and Lengefeld says there is also a free program for low income adults who are non-swimmers. “Statistics also show that

The organization is trying to get all donations in by March 11 and several organizations have already given lead gifts, including $3,000 from Allegiance Bank in the Heights, $3,000 from the Shipley’s Donuts on Ella Boulevard and $1,500 committed from Memorial Hermann. Lengefeld stressed that 100 percent of the proceeds stay in the community to make sure that local residents have access to programs.

The staff and volunteers with the Harriet and Joe Foster YMCA on West 34th Street are calling on all community members for their support with this year’s annual support campaign. Money raised by the campaign directly funds scholarships for families and individuals who benefit from vital YMCA programs and services, community executive director Rosemary Lengefeld said. This year’s campaign will have major focuses in academic achievements for children, chronic disease prevention programs, youth sports and others. In all, the group is looking to raise over $200,000.
“For academic achievement, we offer a number of programs to help children reach their full potential and make sure they are safe,” Lengefeld said. “These include our preschool program on site and also our day camp for school aged youngsters as well.” Funds raised during the campaign support efforts to ensure community members have access to health and wellness programs, particularly for seniors through partnerships with Memorial Hermann Greater Heights. Water safety is also a focus point, with the local YMCA concentrating on swim lessons and offering scholarships for those who cannot afford lessons. “Drowning is a huge problem statewide,” Lengefeld

Turning 50 from P. 1A planned for. The hospital was part of what became a pioneering movement in healthcare and was strategically placed to make it easily accessible—even before the city’s greatest thoroughfare was finished. Though there are now more than 3,000 system hospitals nationwide, Memorial Baptist Hospital created the country’s first satellite hospital system in 1962. Four years later, Memorial Hermann Greater Heights, then known as Memorial Northwest Hospital, joined what are now Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital and Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital as part of that system. Hospital administrator Wilson Turner designed the satellite system to meet the healthcare needs of the city’s projected growing population. Turner wanted to provide the city’s outlying areas access to quality hospitals that would funnel patients and physicians to an anchor facility for elevated care if needed.
Family medicine physician Gerald Maness, M.D. served on the development committee that chose the hospital’s location on Ella Blvd. with Turner and Albert “Bill� Jester, M.D. – the son of historic Houston civic leader T.C. Jester. “We had knowledge that the freeway was going through that area,� said Dr. Maness, who oversaw primary care for a number of years at the hospital and served as its Chief of Staff in 1979. The I-610 freeway was eventually finished with exits at Ella Blvd. that led directly to the hospital’s entrance to provide convenient access from areas in and around the city. “The hospital did so well that they had to expand. So they tore down the old hospital and began building what you see now,� Dr. Maness said. In 1971, the hospital increased capacity to 220 beds, making it the largest hospital in northwest Houston. The facility changed its name to Memorial Hermann
Northwest Hospital upon the merger of Memorial Healthcare System and Hermann Hospital in November 1997. Last October, the hospital was renamed Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital to better reflect the growth and evolution of the areas it serves. A two-story, 130-bed, brick hospital with a complete laboratory, x-ray, emergency, operating and delivery facilities when it first opened five decades ago, Memorial Hermann Greater Heights is now a 260-bed hospital with 1,200 employees, multiple professional buildings, patient towers and a LifeFlightÂŽ helipad. Memorial Hermann Greater Heights admits more than 11,000 patients and provides care for approximately 60,000 emergency department visits each year. Currently, more than 500 affiliated physicians provide vast medical specialty services to the campus, which is home to nationally-recognized programs in heart and vascular care, cancer screening and treatment,

total joint replacement, top tier rehabilitation, as well as women’s care and a Level III Trauma emergency center. A commitment to additional service line and campus enhancements, including a new entrance renovation, as well as a planned Memorial Hermann Urgent Care Center and Memorial Hermann Convenient Care Center, will carry on the hospital’s longstanding position as a healthcare leader in the Greater Heights. “We have been and will continue to be here for Houston and the Greater Heights,� Jadlowski said. “We understand the history of this hospital and this area and we take great pride in carrying on the legacy of this campus.�

Overcoming Your Credit Card Crisis The battle with credit card debt can be a constant struggle against high interest rates and monthly payments that never seem to make a dent in what you owe. How is it possible to make monthly credit card payments and never get anywhere? This problem is caused by high interest rates that eats up most of your payments. Even though you make your minimum payment, you don’t make much headway eliminating the debt. Luckily, there’s a way to find debt relief without incurring more debts. Using certified credit counseling like Consolidated Credit, you can get professional
advice to identify the right solution for your needs. A certified credit counselor can review your options to see which solution is best for you. You can qualify for lower interest rates or even eliminate them, while consolidating your credit card debt into one easy payment to get you out of debt faster. Every financial institution differs, but most people see a reduction of total payments by up to 30-50% as they pay off debt faster.
