The Changing Industry of Weight Loss Surgery

By Amy Joyner

B

ariatric. Roux-en-Y. Gastrectomy.

Those are big words for a problem that continues getting bigger each day in America: Obesity.

Even with extreme exercise and dedicated dieting, obesity and its associated health problems leave many people with nowhere to turn when seeking a healthier, skinnier, more active life.

Jenny Chadwick is one of those people.

The 32-year-old Salem woman who works at a cellular communications store said, “I’ve struggled with weight my whole life. I wanted to be healthy; I wanted to play with my nephews; at the beach I couldn’t walk on the sand.”

When she spoke with her coworkers at T-Mobile about how some of them dealt with the same problems, she learned a bit about weight loss surgery and how the company’s health insurance could cover the cost. Soon, she attended a seminar at the Salem Health Bariatric Surgery Center and began her journey. “After dieting and such, I really thought surgery was going to be the best method to reach my goals,” she said.

In October 2013, Chadwick weighed 240 pounds. She began working on a diet and exercise plan to get her body ready for her bariatric surgery, which was performed by Dr. Rajan V. Nair, M.D., medical director at the Salem Health Bariatric Surgery Center.

Chadwick’s surgery happened on St. Patrick’s Day, 2014, and thanks to her pre-operative efforts, she weighed 204 pounds just prior to the operation.

In late July 2014, she was at 151 pounds, having undergone a roughly 52-pound weight loss since undergoing surgery. She knows her goal weight of 120 pounds is attainable.

For Your Health 2014 | 7

“I have been hiking. …I’ve played in tide pools. Anything that is outdoors, I am doing,” she said.

Her success is the result of her hard work and working hand-in-hand with the Bariatric Surgery Center’s team of physicians, nurses and dieticians who have taught her how to live well.

“At the hospital, they teach you how to eat correctly – portions and what to avoid,” she said. And if she falls off course, she has a support group there of professionals and friends.

Team approach Leading the team at the Salem Health Bariatric Surgery Center is Nair, Chadwick’s surgeon. As the center’s medical director, Nair said, “Most of the people who look seriously at bariatric surgery have been looking into it for about a year and a half.

They have tried multiple diets and exercise regimens. The success rate for achieving and maintaining weight loss goals from non-surgical approaches is less than 5 percent. And, 8 to 12 percent of the weight they lose, after 5 years, they’ve gained it all back.”

“It’s a pretty standard story. We don’t want to take away hope for losing weight without surgery. It can be possible.”

Nair knows that surgery is a proven last resort for many patients who have exhausted all other options and qualify for undergoing a surgical weight loss procedure due to their Body Mass Index and other health issues. “In the long term, when a person has a BMI over 40, they are going to die,” the surgeon said before listing the litany of co-morbid health conditions of obesity: Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and sleep apnea.

Surgical Weight Loss Options Adjustable gastric banding surgery LAP-BAND (adjustable gastric banding surgery) is a surgery that decreases the amount of food your stomach will hold but does not change the normal digestive process. A hollow plastic band is wrapped around the stomach near its upper end to create a small pouch that will only hold a small amount of food. The band also creates a narrow passage between the pouch and the larger portion of the stomach.

This narrow passage delays the emptying of food from the pouch and causes a prolonged feeling of fullness. The band can be tightened or loosened over time to change the size of the passage.

The amount of food that a patient can comfortably eat with LAP-BAND is very small. Gastric banding allows for dramatic weight loss without changing the shape or function of the digestive system.

Gastric bypass weight loss surgery In gastric bypass surgery (also called Roux-en-Y surgery), the stomach is divided into two sections. A pouch the size of a small egg is formed from the upper end of the stomach using surgical staples. The amount of food a patient can eat is limited by the size of the pouch, which is why gastric bypass is so effective for weight loss.

The small pouch is connected to the intestine so that food can be passed normally.

The large part of the stomach that is left after the pouch is formed will still produce important digestive juices, so it is connected to the intestines below the other connection. This makes the “Y” shape that gives the procedure its technical name (Roux-en-Y).

Sleeve weight loss surgery Sleeve weight loss surgery (also called laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or gastric sleeve) involves the surgeon making about six small incisions in your abdomen and passing a tiny camera and other instruments needed to perform the surgery through these openings.

During sleeve weight loss surgery, the surgeon will remove most (about 80 to 85 percent) of your stomach. This creates a much smaller tube-shaped stomach which is about the size and shape of a banana (holding approximately 5 to 7 ounces). This smaller stomach pouch fills with food quicker so that you feel full sooner.

Patients typically lose about 60 percent of their excess body weigh over 12 to 18 months.

“This is still an elective surgery. It’s for when a person is at the end of the rope,” he said.

The process starts with an information session offered at Salem Hospital.

The public session is offered once each month and lasts 1 ½ to 2 hours.

Attendees receive a patient information packet of paperwork to fill out and return to the Bariatric Surgery Center.

“If they are felt to be good candidate, we will see the patient in the office.

Patients undergo a 2- to 3-month (diagnostic) workup to make sure all medical problems that go along with obesity are cleared up,” he said.

“Our age for our patient population is over 21. … The bulk are 21-to-45-yearold women,” Nair said. “We like that population because they are younger and we can catch their problems earlier. They are just starting to get

Bariatric surgery used to be the ill-begotten, red-headed stepchild of general surgery. That it was just crazy people unable to make changes.

That has changed 180 degrees.”

- Dr. Rajan V. Nair their major medical issues due to obesity.”

Nair works with Dr. Catherine Boulay, M.D., the center’s second bariatric surgeon. They are joined by Debbie Wiessner, bariatric nurse coordinator, and two licensed, registered dieticians.

All team members undergo strict training and have access to specific equipment, all necessary to maintain their status as an official Center of Excellence, certified by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP.)

Offerings and outcomes Though “gastric bypass” has become a catch-all term for the half dozen surgical procedures used to effect weight loss, each surgery has its own name, efficacy and risk. Those used at Salem Health are: Adjustable gastric banding surgery (LAP-BAND), gastric bypass weight loss surgery and sleeve weight loss surgery.

When a patient is accepted for care by their bariatric surgery program, the patient and the physician will decide which procedure is the right option.

Available data of outomes, or results from past patients, is available.

Nair said it’s all part of being a recognized Center of Excellence, which not only means that they provide better care for bariatric surgery patients, but they also collect the data

necessary to prove it. With the center’s history of treating more than 700 patients and having a demonstrated track record of favorable outcomes, he gladly tells that the mortality risk for bariatric surgery patients is less than 1 percent.

“In bariatric surgery, there is no free lunch. If you take on more risk, you get more benefit. …The results and safety have improved tremendously over time,” Nair said.

“Our database is really rich with clinical data. People can look at results, risk adjusted, before deciding.”

weight. Nair said, “Because most of your fat is stored in the tissue directly beneath the skin, when the fat is gone, the skin will eventually sag. The skin will shrink, but not as rapidly as the fat is lost.

“Six to 12 months after surgery, you will see the worst of the sagging skin.

Younger patients may have more elastic skin and may not sag as much as older patients. Some patients may wish to have excessive skin surgically removed, but we recommend waiting 18 to 24 months after surgery, when weight loss has stabilized.”

And as outcomes have become more positive, attitudes about weight loss surgery have changed. “(Bariatric surgery) used to be the ill-begotten, red-headed stepchild of general surgery; that it was just crazy people unable to make changes. That has changed 180 degrees,” said Nair.

“Patients, to a large extent, say they don’t care so much about their weight but are more interested in their health and say, ‘I want to get off the insulin.’”

Nair said surgical weight loss may also provide benefit for women whose weight is problematic for becoming pregnant and carrying a child to term. He recommends that women wait 18 months after their weight loss surgery to become pregnant.

Another consideration that requires a wait is the removal of excess skin that remains after a patient loses

Jenny Chadwick weighed 240 pounds in October 2013, before undergoing gastric bypass surgery for weight loss.

In July 2014, Jenny Chadwick weighed 151 pounds, having undergone a roughly 52-pound weight loss since undergoing gastric bypass surgery.

One Day at a Time: 30 Ways to Improve Your Health Over the Next Month

By David Hegle

E

very day, we make decisions that impact our health. On their own, grabbing another bite of ice cream or choosing stairs over the elevator aren’t going to radically change anything. Still, improving health doesn’t have to be a monumental, all-encompassing task with a 10-year plan and 24/7 discipline. Each day, there are many modest actions that can nudge you in the right direction. To get you started, we asked local health experts to give their best doable ideas with genuine benefits.

1. Belly Breathe Taking 10 deep breaths will allow your belly to expand. If possible, inhale through your nose and exhale slowly using your abdominal muscles and diaphragm for control. Not only do full breaths have a relaxing effect, they also help oxygenate the brain. (Salem Health)

2. Try the Best Medicine Laughing for a minute can be all it takes. Watch a funny movie or giggle with a child. Laughter has been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure and burn off a few calories. (Salem Health)

3. Plan Ahead Save time and stress during the week by planning and preparing a weeks’ worth of meals at the start of the week.

This gives you a better overview of your nutrition and helps you avoid emergency fast food runs. (WVP Health Authority)

4. Go Without Germs Washing hands is one of the best ways to prevent spreading germs, but soap and sink are often out of reach. Place a hand sanitizer in your bag, work area, garage or travel bag to keep you clean in the meantime. (Salem Health)

6. Harbor Healthy Snacks Leave the house with a piece of fruit or cut-up veggies along with a lowfat cheese stick or portion of nuts. By keeping a healthier snack handy, you’ll benefit from another serving of fruits or veggies and be less likely to give in to junk food. (WVP Health Authority)

7. Choose Finer Fats Add good fats to your diet like nuts, avocados, salmon and sardines.

Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats help maintain a healthy brain and heart. (Salem Health)

5. Find a Furry Friend Spend time with your own pet, borrow a friend’s or lend a hand at a place like the humane society. Animals have been shown to reduce blood pressure and increase quality of life. (Salem Health)

12 | For Your Health 2013

8. Take Sleep Seriously Sleep plays an important role in both your mental and physical health. Set yourself up for a good night’s sleep by making your bedroom into a quiet, relaxing and dark environment, and give yourself plenty of time to wind down at the end of the day. (Salem Health)

9. Build Those Bones!

Each time you sit down to watch TV or work on your computer, sit down and stand up ten times to improve muscle and bone health. (Salem Health)

10. Plan Breakfast Choose a simple breakfast pattern and stick with it. For example, oatmeal topped with fruit in season, a variety of nuts, and a touch of honey. Breakfast eaters are more likely to maintain a healthy weight. (WVP Health Authority)

11. Make Some Moves Music can help relieve stress and provide an overall sense of well-being.

Listen to a favorite song and consider dancing to add fun and physical activity to your day. (Salem Health)

12.

Combine With Caution

Always check with a pharmacist before taking prescription medications at the same time as over-the-counter products, including dietary supplements.

Treatments that work well on their own could cause trouble together.

14. Record Records Make a list with dates of your last wellness checks and immunizations.

This can keep you on top of your family’s health needs instead of wondering, forgetting, or calling each doctor’s office. (Salem Health)

Contemplate the good in your life by jotting down five things you’re thankful for, helping to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. (WVP Health Authority/Salem Health)

Grow a little herb garden in a small container or window box to have fresh herbs handy. They are a great way to season your cooking or even take the place of salt. (Salem Health)

15. Add Baby Steps You can amp up your exercise without going to the gym. Add a little footwork while standing at the sink, vacuuming, gardening, or washing the car. Park further away in the parking lot, use the stairs instead of the elevator, walk your kids to school and walk your dog around the block — each extra step adds up over the day. (WVP Health Authority/Salem Health)

16. Drink More Water By adding a twist to your water (such as a slice of lemon, cucumber or orange) you’ll have a tasty alternative to sugarsweetened drinks. (Salem Health)

17. Use the BudSystem Buddy System Have a friend keep you on track to hit the gym or just walk every day. You’ll be more consistent and have more fun with good company. (Salem Health)

18. Store Up Smoothies Prepare smoothies ahead of time and freeze them. You can take them out of the freezer the night before and have a healthy breakfast waiting for you.

(WVP Health Authority)

(WVP Health Authority)

13. Give Thanks

Your 20. Raise Own Herbs

19. Play If you’ve forgotten how, watch some kids. Allow yourself some down time to play in whatever way makes you feel creative and refreshed. (Salem Health)

21. Preparation Matters Grill or roast vegetables instead of frying or boiling them to get richer flavor without canceling out the health benefits. (WVP Health Authority)

22. Swap Out Carbs Try using spaghetti squash or spiraled zucchini in place of pasta for a zesty, antioxidant, lower-calorie and glutenfree Italian meal that’s still filling.

(WVP Health Authority)

For Your Health 2014 | 13

23. Protect Pills Store medication appropriately: in a secure location to prevent theft; out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental overdose; away from heat and humidity (nix the bathroom) because excess heat and humidity can degrade medications more rapidly.

(WVP Health Authority)

24.

Look on the Bright Side

Your brain’s neurons stay connected better, yielding better cognition, when you’re thinking, “How can I make this work?” and intentionally pursue a positive outlook. (Salem Health)

25. Stand Up Straight Stand up tall with shoulders relaxed, chest open and palms facing your sides.

Improved posture not only looks good but reduces fatigue in the upper neck and shoulders. (Salem Health)

26. Take Nutrition Notes Need to get back on track with weight loss goals? Write down what you eat and drink, or try a calorie counter app for your smartphone. Research shows this simple, revealing habit changes eating patterns. (WVP Health Authority)

Your 27. Know Numbers Track your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, BMI and waist circumference.

If you want to change any of these numbers, develop a next step plan that works for you -- just knowing the score can help motivate change. (Salem Health)

28. Healthy Chat Call family, catch up with a friend, or just chat with a store clerk.

Socialization is a way of improving brain health, and verbally processing can help reduce stress. (WVP Health Authority/ Salem Health)

29. Learn a Little Take a class for fun, enjoyment and to learn something new. Chemeketa Community College offers a tuition waver for people at least 65 years old to audit a class, and the Community Health Education Center at Salem Hospital offers classes on a wide variety of topics like cooking, brain agility, and using an exercise ball. (Salem Health)

30. Chuck with Care Different medications have different recommendations for proper disposal.

In general, pharmacies cannot take back expired medication, but can provide information on disposal.

ADVERTORIAL

Fitness trackers, smart glasses, and Bluetooth watches that would make Dick Tracy drool--2014 has seen the rise of wearable technology. But one device has been surprisingly absent from the conversation, despite its technological advances: the modern hearing aid.

W

hether it’s due to stigma or budget concerns, most individuals who could benefit from wearing hearing aids do not wear them. In fact, out of the 40 million Americans who have reported suffering from hearing loss, only one in five people will actually use hearing amplification technology as a solution. Studies show that even hearing loss in one ear can negatively affect daily life.

Since 1997, hearing aids have gone through revolutionary changes with the introduction of digital technology. Now more than ever, hearing aids can deliver quality sound and create a personal listening experience for the wearer.

Digital programmable hearing aids have all the features of previously used analog programmable aids but use sound processing to convert sound waves into digital signals.

A computer chip in the aid analyzes the signals to determine whether the sound is noise or speech. It then makes modifications to provide a clear, amplified, distortion-free signal. Sound features include: background noise suppression and speech preservation, and sound directionality. Today, hearing aids also come with a variety of personal features like Bluetooth streaming for phone calls, television and music.

In 2014 hearing aid manufacturer Starkey introduced Halo, the Made for iPhone® Hearing Aid. This hearing aid works with the user’s iPhone through an app which allows the user to make basic volume and sound adjustments. The app also provides an impressive geotagging feature, which works with the phone’s GPS to save hearing aid settings to specific locations and will adjust the aids automatically whenever the wearer is in that geotagged environment. The use of hearing aids can make all the difference in someone’s work, home, and social life.

Hearing loss has been shown to cause fatigue, irritability, stress, depression, and social anxiety. Additionally, it has been linked to more serious conditions like Alzheimer’s and Dementia. The sooner a

hearing loss is addressed, the more successful someone will likely be with hearing amplification. If hearing loss is something that affecting your life or the life of a loved one, consider hearing aids as a solution.

But where do you start?

It is impossible to pick the right hearing aid without first having your hearing tested by a professional.

An evaluation should minimally consist of three basic tests: a puretone assessment to evaluate how well you hear, a speech discrimination test to determine how hearing loss is affecting your ability to understand speech, and an additional puretone test to determine how sound is being conducted through the bone.

This evaluation should take approximately 30 minutes and should be conducted in a sound proof booth.

A full diagnostic evaluation consists of additional tests and more extensive versions of the aforementioned base testing. This is a better choice because not only does it assess the extent of the hearing loss, but can help you to understand the cause of it.

These types of hearing evaluations may be covered by health insurance, but a referral to an audiologist from your physician may be necessary. It is important to always involve your physician in the process.

Choosing a pair of hearing aids can seem like a daunting task, considering the emotions and commitment involved. There are so many options available it can be difficult to sift through all the marketing to determine what the best solution is for you. The simplest way to determine what is best for your needs is to narrow down your choices based on the following criteria: your needs, your style preference, and your budget.

Your Needs: There are many impressive features in hearing aid

technology today. However everyone’s lifestyle is different so it is best to assess what your day-to-day needs are. For instance, someone with a sedentary lifestyle could do just fine with a basic hearing aid, while someone with a very demanding communication environment would require more advanced technology.

Things to discuss with your hearing care professional include: sound quality features, background noise, programs, telephone compatibility, feedback reduction, and Bluetooth capability and other special features.

Your Style Preference:

Hearing aids come in a variety of sizes, colors, and styles. There are five basic styles of hearing aid. They differ by size, placement on or inside the ear, and the degree to which they amplify sound. The styles include: behind-theear, micro behind-the-ear, in-the-ear, in-the-canal, and completely-in-thecanal. The physical design will not only affect the cosmetic appearance, but it also can affect lifespan, comfort, moisture and wax, battery life, and cost.

Your Budget: When selecting the appropriate hearing aid, the simplest advice is this: Get the best hearing aid you can most reasonably afford. Analyzing your budget is strictly under your control as the consumer—and it always should be.

You should never feel pressured to buy something that is out of your predetermined budget. Reliable, entrylevel hearing aids start at about $925 each. While there are cheaper options available (as-seen-on-tv, internet, or mail-order), the Better Hearing Institute found in an evaluation of the instruments that they would not recommend these to anyone.

Like-wise, these options do not provide the same adjustments and accurate follow-up services as a professional would. Your relationship with an audiologist will

make all the difference in your hearing experience.

By Oregon State Law, hearing aids have a 30-day trial period in which the consumer can return the product and receive the majority of their money back—and the refund must be in the consumer’s hand within 10 business days of the products return.

Smart phones, health monitoring devices and computers aren’t the only technology that has seen revolutionary advances in the last ten years. With all the features and tools available in the hearing aid industry, now is the best time for anyone who is hearing impaired. ■ —Scot Frink, Audiologist and Owner at Salem Audiology Clinic

Fight Obesity & Avoid Diabetes With

The 5210 Challenge

By Dennis Thompson

F

olks in Marion County now have access to a new local website and app that could help them fight obesity and avoid diabetes.

“People kept asking for a website and apps to track their behavior on those four things that are represented in 5210,” Stice said. “If you want to do the challenge, you now can log in when you like.”

The 5210 Challenge this summer has debuted a web site, 5210Challenge. org, that will allow participants to track behaviors that can reduce their risk of obesity and diabetes.

The 5210 Challenge asks participants to undertake four specific activities on a daily basis:

The locally sponsored wellness challenge also has produced a smartphone app that will track healthy behaviors, said Jeanine Stice, manager of the Living Healthy Program at the WVP Health Authority.

• Limit leisure time in front of a computer, TV or tablet screen to two hours or less.

Go to 5210Challenge.org to sign up individually, as an organization or a team for free.

• Eat five servings of fruits or vegetables.

• Perform 1 hour of daily exercise.

• Drink zero sweetened beverages.

Local groups banded together to create a challenge around these four behaviors in 2011, based on alarming numbers regarding the rate of obesity and diabetes in Marion County, Stice said.

Marion County currently has a diabetes rate of 7.6 percent, higher than the state average of 7.2 percent, according to the latest numbers from the Oregon Health Authority.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

The county also has an obesity rate higher than the state average. About 28 percent of Marion County residents are obese, compared with the state average of 24.8 percent, the OHA says.

Diabetes and obesity can lead to myriad health problems later in life, making aging a misery for those with the chronic conditions, Stice said.

Obese people put tremendous pressure on their joints every day, which can lead to arthritis and other joint problems. Diabetes predisposes people for a number of serious health problems including blindness, kidney failure and amputation.

“Most people don’t have a problem really having diabetes when they rank quality of life, but I think it’s because you don’t realize how it will affect your health,” she said. “It’s hard to believe how silent that disease is until you reach the end stage, where you start having all these problems.

People have the impression that the medication is taking care of the disease and that it’s not progressing, and that’s just not so.”

The groups chose the 5210 Challenge to battle these conditions because “these are health behaviors we want people to do every day,” said Kristin Jordan, a registered nurse and health educator with Salem Health’s Community Health Education Center.

Similar programs have been undertaken elsewhere in the United States, but they tend to focus on children. Here in Marion County, leaders expanded it to include all family members.

“We felt strongly that the message needed to impact families,” Stice said. “If we were going to ask kids to engage in these healthy behaviors, we needed to ask everyone in the family to engage in these behaviors.”

In the challenge, people have to hew to the recommended behaviors for

5210challenge.org 5 servings of vegetables or fruit increases fiber and antioxidant intake.

2 hours or less of leisure screen time allows more time for activity.

1 hour of daily activity maintains muscle mass.

0 sweetened beverages can lower calorie intake.

30 days. The person who is most successful at sticking to the goals will win.

“You can try it and get used to doing those habits, and hopefully then you’ll adopt them,” Jordan said. “It’s a really great program. It’s easy to use, and it’s something that can get people on the right track. It is a valuable resource for our community.”

About 41,000 people locally had participated in the 5210 Challenge as of last spring, Jordan said. They included people working at employers like the MAPS Credit Union, Santiam Hospital, Marion County, and the City of Salem, as well as members of groups like the YMCA and the Boys & Girls Club, Stice said.

Part of the fun of the challenge is that workplaces can take it up and offer prizes for top participants, Stice and Jordan said.

But participation hasn’t been as easy as it could be. “Up until now, we’ve had paper trackers where people could see whether they are meeting their goals or not,” Jordan said. “It’s a little more difficult to track than we would like it to be.”

Organizers hope that the new website and apps will make it “a lot easier and more enjoyable for people to take on the challenge,” she said.

They are just wrapping up a Spanish version of the website, Stice said.

Salem’s Newest Dermatologist A

native of Silverdale, Washington, near Seattle, Dr. Preston Chadwick is happy to have returned to his Pacific Northwest roots, and in early August, 2014 became the newest physician to join the Dermatology Clinic in Salem as a dermatologist.

He began his medical education giving serious thought to becoming a family practitioner, but switched gears when he stumbled upon a specialty that seemed to offer endless intrigue, he said. “I moved away from all the broken bones.”

“I was intrigued by all the complexities and differences of analyzing and treating a rash,” Dr. Chadwick said.

The fascinating rash that lead to a career path for Dr. Chadwick was Scarlet Fever.

Though Dr. Chadwick completed his Bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, the remainder of his higher education occurred at institutions located along the East Coast. He received his doctorate in 2010 at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia. He then spent an intern year at Lankenau Medical Center in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. He also completed a three-year dermatology residency at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey.

With Dr. Chadwick’s wife hailing from Virginia the decision to relocate from the East Coast was not easy. Once the couple saw that open, rolling farmland is just as plentiful in the Willamette Valley as it is near the East Coast, they became much more interested. By mixing in Salem’s energetic lifestyle, the Chadwick’s decision became much easier, he said.

“It has been a marvelous transition. I get to practice what I love in a place I love,” he added. Dr. Chadwick enjoys keeping his wife Kaitlin and their 4-year-old son busy by hiking to enjoy the mountains and waterways in their new location.

At the Dermatology Clinic, he joins four other physicians and four physician assistants in treating patients of all ages, all of whom he admires.

Reasons to visit the Dermatology Clinic General dermatology: For

patients at all ages, a full spectrum of medical and surgical care is available for all stages of common conditions such as Acne, Rosacea and Psoriasis; wart treatment; mole checks of the whole body; and, assessing sun damage.

Cosmetic procedures: To help patients feel more vibrant, care options can include Botox; fillers; facial peels; in-office microdermabrasion; and, laser hair removal.

Laser Treatments: The

latest technology can lessen the prevalence of Port Wine Stains and redness from Rosacea, Psoriasis and Vitiligo.

Complex medical conditions: Mohs treatment

of skin cancers; patch testing for allergies; and, Photodynamic therapy for Psoriasis.

Surgical procedures:

Excisions of benign and malignant areas; and, nail surgery.

The most significant advance: Consumers will be able to purchase Oregon health insurance online, something that has not been available to date.

26 | For Your Health 2013

“Customers applying for or renewing private plans will be able to complete the entire process online in one sitting through HealthCare.gov,” said Cover Oregon spokeswoman Ariane Holm.

“We know that technology works and will be providing clear instructions for how consumers apply for and enroll in coverage.”

There’s a limited amount of time now until open enrollment occurs.”

However, officials are under a lot of pressure to complete the handoff by Nov. 15, when open enrollment starts and people flock to their computers looking to buy insurance.

CoverOregon.com never became fully functional during open enrollment for 2013. People could peruse insurance offerings on the website but had to pick up the phone to make their purchase.

“I hope what’s being gained is a functional website,” said Sen. Richard Devlin, D-Tualatin, co-chair of the state legislative committee that oversees technology projects. “It looks like things are going in the right direction, but time will tell whether they can keep on schedule.

Officials decided earlier this year to hand the Oregon exchange’s website duties over to the feds after it became clear that the tangled mess left by Oracle and Cover Oregon would take too much time and money to clear up.

Oregonians should have nearly as many choices for insurance during 2015 open enrollment, Devlin said.

All but one of the 16 insurance companies that participated in the Oregon health marketplace this year will offer plans for next year on the federal website, he said.

Cover Oregon will continue to control the health care marketplace, setting coverage rules and approving rates.

“In the coming months, we will begin ramping up outreach and education efforts directed at Oregonians who need health coverage.”

- Ariane Holm, Cover Oregon spokeswoman

And CoverOregon.com will remain on the web, helping direct people to either the federal website or to a state website through which eligible people can sign up for the Oregon Health Plan, Holm said.

“Customers applying for the Oregon Health Plan will have a more streamlined online application, and the process for determining eligibility will be completely automated,” she said.

Current customers enrolled in a 2014 private plan through Cover Oregon will be notified before the next open enrollment what steps they need to take to renew their coverage for 2015, Holm said.

“In the coming months, we will begin ramping up outreach and education efforts directed at Oregonians who need health coverage,” Holm said.

Cover Oregon, with the assistance of the Oregon Health Authority, has managed to lay the groundwork for the

transition to HealthCare.gov, according to a July 28 report from Maximus, a quality assurance company hired to watchdog the project.

Cover Oregon announced in July that it had hired Deloitte Consulting, a global firm based in the United Kingdom, to “ensure Oregonians have seamless online enrollment into health insurance this fall.”

Under an $18.4 million contract, Deliotte will serve as the system integrator for transitioning the private health market to the federal system and transferring Medicaid signups to the Oregon Health Authority.

“We have delivered in other states and we are committed to doing it again so that Oregonians can enroll in health insurance online in November,” says Kevin Kelly, National Practice Director for State-Based Marketplaces at Deloitte.

will have to remain well organized to meet the November deadline.

Once the website has been handed off to the feds, Devlin expects it will remain under their control for quite some time to come.

“There is little support for creating a new state-based exchange,” he said.

“Given the history of Cover Oregon, I, at this point, do not see any support within the Legislature for that.”

In fact, Devlin expects legislators in 2015 to question whether Cover Oregon itself needs to remain in existence.

“I think the biggest question is, is there even a necessity to continue to have an outside public corporation to maintain the remaining functions Cover Oregon will have, or would those functions be better brought back under the state government,” he said.

But Maximus warns that Cover Oregon is working under a tight timeline and For Your Health 2014 | 27

Salem Radiology Next Generation CT Scanner Cuts Radiation Dose to Patients By 35-40% The next generation of CT scanner has arrived in Salem, Oregon. Salem Radiology Consultants prides itself on providing state of the ar t medical imaging technology and recently unveiled its newest addition; a CT scanner that substantially reduces radiation exposure to patients.

Administrative Director, R.A. Neitzel, admitted to being especially excited about their newest technology and the immediate 40% reduction in radiation dose to patients.

According to Neitzel, “This is a significant step for ward for patient safety.

Previously, upgrades to CT technology were focused primarily on scanning faster and with greater image quality. Now the focus has shifted to lowering the amount of radiation to the patient with superior image quality.”

the standard by fur ther reducing the radiation dose used by 35% for head scans and 40% for all other scans of the body. Over the next 5 to 7 years, as imaging centers and hospitals replace their older equipment, I believe low dose CT scanners will become the new standard. Patients will demand the added safety.”

While reducing radiation dose is impor tant for all patients, it is especially impor tant for younger patients and patients with conditions that require multiple CT scans over time.

Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced an initiative to reduce unnecessar y radiation exposure from medical imaging.

“Over the next 5 to 7 years as imaging centers replace their older equipment, low dose CT scanners will become the new standard.

Patients will demand the added safety.”

According to Neitzel, “Many centers have scanners that provide dose modulation that automatically adjusts the radiation beam during the scan based on the density of the body area being imaged. This has become standard equipment. The new technology is a leap ahead of

As of Januar y 1, 2011, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act provides patients with more power to choose where they receive their imaging ser vices. You are encouraged to consult with your doctor about your imaging choices and request a facility that offers the safest scanning technology.

There is a new MRI scanner in Salem that is receiving considerable attention within the medical community and

High Definition 3T MRI Becomes the Preferred Choice For Patients and Physicians is quickly becoming the scanner of choice for many of the patients and physicians of the Salem area. 3T MRI is a new and sophisticated technology that previously was only available at the larger academic medical centers and research facilities such as the Oregon Health and Sciences University.

Tesla (T) is the unit of measurement quantif ying the strength of a magnetic field. With greater magnetic strength comes the ability to detect and visualize smaller structures within the body. Greater magnetic strength also allows scan sequences to be completed in less time. The

new 3T MRI has a magnetic field strength that is twice the strength of any other local MRI scanner. The new scanner also features an open design that is 17% larger than any other local scanner for greater patient comfort and can also accommodate patients weighing up to 500 pounds.

Patients entering the 3T scanning suite will find the experience to be ver y different. The skylight scanning suite has been specifically designed to maximize patient comfort. Patients are also encouraged to bring to their appointment their iPod or MP3 player so they can relax and enjoy their personal playlist.

“When we scan the joints and muscles using 3T MRI, we have a greater ability to see small structures, including cartilage, tendons and ligaments. This new technology improves all of our scan sequences. Also, because we can image in thinner sections, we can even evaluate the small joints of the hands and feet.”

Dr. Leon Burrows Musculoskeletal Radiologist Director of Orthopedic & Sports Injury Imaging

“3T MRI systems are becoming increasingly important in the early detection and characterization of breast malignancy.

When used in coordination with mammography and ultrasound, 3T MRI is a powerful clinical tool for evaluating patients with a high risk of having breast cancer.”

Dr. Kathleen Scanlan Radiologist Director of Women’s Imaging “3TMRI excels at imaging the anatomy of the brain and spine. Not only are scanning times reduced, which will lead to decreased motion artifact, but spatial resolution also improves. This results in improved resolution of MR angiography of the brain and neck, improved visualization of very small structures such as the cranial nerves and structures of the inner ear, and improved sensitivity for detection of white matter lesions such as are seen in patients with multiple sclerosis. Blood products are also more easily detected with MRI. Overall, we expect our patients to have a more pleasant experience, and we expect higher quality images that will appeal to our referring clinicians.”

Great Expectations:

A Look at Local Hospital Maternity Care

By Navneet Kaur

I

t is natural for expectant parents to experience anxiety during pregnancy, particularly for firsttime parents. Usually, most of this anxiety stems from concerns over the well-being and safe delivery of their newborn. Knowing what kind of services your hospital provides might cut down this anxiety to a great degree.

There are many great options in the Mid-Valley when it comes to maternity care and it is important to take into consideration many factors from facilities to education and more.

Facilities For many women, the delivery room is the deciding factor of how they choose a hospital. Erica Lentz, RN, OB nurse at Santiam Hospital says that “during their stay at Santiam Hospital, delivering parents enjoy spacious private rooms with views of the Willamette Valley or the Cascade Mountain Range.” She goes on to say that each of the rooms are equipped with their own private labor tub.

‘‘

Salem Hospital’s Family and Birth Center was recently voted ‘Best Place to Have a Baby’ for the second year in a row.”

- Sarah Horn, Salem Health Director of Women’s and Children’s Service Santiam Hospital offers postnatal massage, postpartum physical rehabilitation for mothers, lactation services, and mental health support.

Additionally, the facility also has accommodations to personalize their delivery rooms. With provisions to dim the lights, and encouraging patients to bring their own music to play, “mothers are provided a unique experience,” says Lentz.

Sarah Horn, Salem Health Director of Women’s and Children’s Service informs that Salem Hospital’s Family and Birth Center was recently voted “Best Place to Have a Baby”

for the second year in a row in StatesmanJournal.com’s Best of the Mid-Valley. “Our goal is to provide family-centered care that exceeds our patients’ and families’ expectations during their stay with us,” Horn says and adds that their rooms are equipped with Jacuzzi tubs, birthing balls, squatting bars, rocker gliders, and daybeds for the support person.

Most hospitals have employed midwives, and although they don’t have doulas on staff, they welcome their presence during the delivery.

Horn says, “Our master’s prepared certified nurses provide care for mothers during pregnancy and delivery. They work in collaboration with the obstetrician hospitalists at Salem Hospital.”

Prenatal Care Today, prenatal care is more than just a doctor’s visit. Patients often receive education and counseling regarding nutrition and exercise during their care sessions. “There is an increased knowledge surrounding the mental health needs of moms-to-be and new mothers as well as the benefits of nutrition and exercise during pregnancy – all of which are critical to a growing baby’s well-being,” says Rita Kester, Marketing Communications

30 | For Your Health 2013

Director of Silverton Health. While mothers are more aware now than in the past and have access to a wealth of prenatal information online, Kester stresses the importance of relying on accurate medical information.

Education To supplement this need, many hospitals offer resources such as classes, informational groups, and childbirth preparation courses for expectant parents and family members.

These courses range from introductory classes for first-time parents as well as childbirth refresher classes for parents who have already started their family but have another child on the way. Boot camp for new dads, and baby care and feeding courses are also offered. “We would encourage new and returning parents to come see where miracles happen by taking a tour to become familiar with the nursing units, and get first-hand information on where they will be staying and what to expect during their stay,” Horn says.

Salem Health provides a wide selection of networking opportunities - from childbirth preparation classes to long after delivery - by connecting with new moms at no-cost groups like the Mom & Me Breastfeeding Support Group and New Moms’ Connection. The Hospital’s CHEC (Community Health and Education Center) is a valuable resource for parents at all stages.

Silverton Hospital takes this experience to a whole new level. According to Kester, “Boot Camp for Dads-to-be” is led by trained volunteers working in conjunction with Silverton Hospital staff. This offers a place for new dads to share and learn from each other.

While dads are gaining valuable handson experience, moms are next door getting well-deserved pedicures and massages. Childbirth and other support groups are also available and led by Silverton Health registered nurses and physicians.

Well-Baby Nurseries As for well-baby nurseries, Horn says that they have changed from a

traditional nursery to an area utilized to perform routine checks such as hearing screens.

She says, “There is a well-baby nursery located on the Mother/Baby unit; however, (sic) infants are encouraged to room in with their mothers. This is common practice among most birthing facilities.” Erica Lentz corroborates this information.

Lentz says, “We take the baby there (nursery) for a brief assessment, jaundice treatment, circumcisions etc., but then, you choose.”

Higher Levels of Care In addition to maternity care that you might Santiam Hospital offers rooms equipped with private labor tubs expect, hospitals are also raising their credentials by focusing on higher levels of care.

Kester says that Silverton Hospital comprehensive ultrasounds and caring is a part of Oregon Health & Science for pregnant women who have special University’s Telemedicine Network, medical problems, for example heart or which is an innovative new technology kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes that enables Silverton Hospital care etc. “Our NICU (Neonatal Intensive providers to collaborate in real Care Unit) has achieved outcomes time with a pediatric intensivist or that rate our quality of care in the top neonatologist from OHSU. It also has a 25 percent of a national/international central monitoring system that enables network of over 900 NICUs,” adds them to check on their Horn. She further says, “In addition patients remotely. to our Level III NICU, which is on the same floor as our birthing suites, Horn is proud of Salem Health’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and says so mom’s and their baby can stay that they have specialists who combat together, we also have OB hospitalists unplanned complications or critical (obstetricians who are in-house 24/7) cases. The Maternal-Fetal Medicine ready to assist our patients day doctors provide support pre-delivery. or night.”

The specialists monitor and care for moms with high-risk pregnancies.

Men’s Health

and the Annual Wellness Exam

By Amy Joyner

A

sk any woman and she will tell you that men will only schedule a trip to the doctor when they feel terribly ill and need medication.

Unfortunately, a local primary care physician agrees, as he sees it every day in his medical practice when men regularly avoid having their annual physical exam.

“Most people are too busy to take care of things that aren’t immediately bothersome. The annual exam is a moment to have a physical sit-down with the physician and ask questions.

I remind guys when the wife comes in with them that married men live longer than single men. Wives will take action and remind their man (to have their annual physical),” said Charles Essex, M.D. Essex offers comprehensive health care through Willamette Health Partners - Monmouth Medical Center, an affiliate of West Valley Hospital.

He attended medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin and served as a lieutenant commander and physician in the U.S. Navy. He then spent several years in private family practice in North Carolina, Idaho and Alaska before coming to Oregon.

“The individualized physical is of great value. …The greatest value is that the physical is a forum for discussion between a doctor and patient. What we are really looking for is individually factored.”

Assess Risks Early Essex has seen countless younger men who simply won’t worry about a health issue before it becomes a problem, or they become older.

Unfortunately, many complicated health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease go unnoticed and, over time, they become harder to treat.

What to Expect at an Annual Wellness Exam At the end of the annual wellness exam, the doctor will discuss with you any extra tests that are important for you to have according to your health and age. The physician informs you of

Time and time again, Essex tells patients, “Act early, and proactively, and we can get ahead of (problems) now.”

any health risks that were

To expand on the importance of thinking ahead, Essex said, “The annual physical is sometimes looked upon as an older type of physical, which is sort of falling out of favor. …

The favored name is now the ‘annual wellness visit,’ and its (approach is) not the same for a 20-year-old as it is for an 85-year-old. That one-size-fits-all physical doesn‘t reveal the most.

determined you might have and which treatment is changes and medication may be discussed. Getting your immunizations up to date will also be covered.

“(An annual physical) is actually every bit as essential when you are young because that is when you can prevent certain problems, and preventing disease is easier than managing a disease. It’s absolutely important to have an opportunity to prevent the diseases associated with aging.

The time to do that is when you are young.”

In patients who consistently avoid their routine annual exam, Essex commonly sees escalated health problems that could have been avoided or significantly lessened if they had been caught early. He cites the number-one example of high cholesterol, which would have been found through a blood test of lipid levels. During that same blood testing, diabetes and pre-diabetic conditions may also be found, with the physician putting a treatment plan in place.

“With the great incidence of diabetes, watching sugar levels is important,” the doctor said.

Blood work may also be done to detect the blood’s clotting rate, determine levels of kidney function and the presence of anemia. High blood pressure and a loss of physical fitness may also be found and addressed during the physical, Essex said.

Calming Cancer Fears In patients of all ages, certain cancers may be detected early through the annual wellness exam.

Essex knows it is his job to calm their fears with accurate data and modern detection methods.

For instance, many men simply cringe at the thought of prostate exams and a possible diagnosis of prostate cancer, which may happen with a prostatespecific antigen (PSA) blood test. The higher a man’s PSA level, the more likely it is that he has prostate cancer.

‘‘

Most people are too busy to take care of things that aren’t immediately bothersome. The annual exam is a moment to have a physical sit-down with the physician and ask questions...

Act early, and proactively, and we can get ahead of (problems) now.”

- Charles Essex, M.D.

However, there are additional reasons for having an elevated PSA level, and some men who have prostate cancer do not have elevated PSA, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health.

population, and a man’s family history of cancers doesn’t greatly change the doctor/patient discussion about prostate cancer. “In the annual exam, the discussion is held, and the man can make an active choice,” he added.

NIH publications state “some advisory groups now recommend against the use of the PSA test to screen for prostate cancer because the benefits, if any, are small and the harms can be substantial. None recommend its use without a detailed discussion of the pros and cons of using the test.”

Another discussion about cancers, specifically colorectal cancers, will happen during the wellness exam when another dreaded word is used – colonoscopy.

Essex agrees with the confusion and said, “The PSA is such a controversial topic. There are many responsible, informed physicians who say they will never do a PSA on anyone,” Essex said. He prefers to use time during an annual exam to talk with the patient about his individual, specific concerns about prostate health.

Again, a one-size-fits-all approach can lead to more invasive, expensive medical procedures and biopsies being performed. “(Knowing) the PSA may not extend life. …But, there is no other test. If you don’t get the PSA, you are doing nothing. (Prostate cancer) is real and it is common. But only about 3 percent is highly aggressive,” Essex tells.

He added that treatment is generally more aggressive in the younger

“Look. Just do it,” Essex said.

“A lot of things in life you would prefer not to do. But, you don’t want to look back and say, ‘If only.’ You are only screened on 10-year intervals, and when you distribute the colon prep over that 10-year period, it is reasonable.”

Often, the only reason a colonoscopy is not done is that people don’t like it.

Essex said, “There is no substitute and no argument that says you should not do your colonoscopy. That is from age 50 on.”

In males of all ages, the wellness visit will include discussion about breast cancer and testicular health.

“Testicular cancer is a disease of men ages 20 to 50. They need to be aware that it happens. Do a self-exam as a routine while showering. The difference between a normal and ‘not normal’ testical is so obvious,” Essex said. “It is fairly easy to detect and one

of the most curable of cancers if you find it in time. But, it’s not part of the mindset in 20-year-olds.”

Finally, men will learn about their breast health during the exam. “Breast cancer is a rare disease in men but happens,” Essex said. “Many breast lumps are not cancer in men. Any number of conditions can lead to hormone-driven lumps in normal breast tissue. Too much alcohol can lead to developing breasts on both sides (of the chest). Marijuana smoking can develop breast tissue.”

Only In Males Another issue receiving a lot of attention lately is testosterone levels, or Low-T. Essex said a blood test can measure testosterone levels, but he warns that many patients are “manipulated by marketers.”

He added, “Many men with low testosterone feel great. It is only a problem when the man says it is a problem. That is a borderline ethical discussion between doctor and patient. Most men with low testosterone don’t have any problems associated with it. And a low level is a trade-off with heart health. When I tell them this, I’ve had several patients say, ‘never mind.’”

Heppner Chiropractic A Drug-Free, Hands-On Approach

P

eople living in chronic pain often must rely on painkillers to get through the day, or are forced to resort to risky surgeries.

Chiropractic care offers a valuable alternative to drugs or surgery, said Dr. Abby Heppner, owner of Heppner Chiropractic in Salem.

“Chiropractic care is a great way to take care of the pain in a more conservative way, and return people to the activities in life they love to do,” Heppner said.

care. The term “chiropractic” combines the Greek words “cheir” (hand) and “praxis” (practice) to describe a treatment done by hand, according to the National Institutes of Health.

In particular, chiropractic care is intended to balance your body’s structure, to improve its overall function and promote its ability to repair itself.

A core treatment of chiropractic care is called “spinal manipulation” or “chiropractic adjustment,” a procedure in which doctors restore joint mobility by manually working the joints (ACA).

Dr. Abby Heppner Chiropractic care focuses on problems of the musculoskeletal system and “We work on realigning the spine, the nervous system and how these which helps decrease tension and disorders affect a person’s overall muscles as well as inflammation,” health, according to the American Heppner said.

Chiropractic Association.

Other pain relief techniques provided Doctors of chiropractic care practice a by chiropractors include application of drug-free, hands-on approach to health heat and ice, electrical stimulation of

muscles, and relaxation techniques.

Chiropractors can help solve patients’ general health problems through clinical examination, laboratory testing, and diagnostic imaging like X-rays or MRI, according to the ACA. They also are trained to recommend lifestyle changes that can improve a person’s health, including those related to nutrition, diet and exercise.

Most people who seek out chiropractic care are suffering back pain, neck pain or headaches. A federal survey conducted by National Institutes of Health found that 74 percent of Americans who sought out complimentary care for back pain had chosen chiropractic therapy, and 66 percent reported that they had received “great benefit” from their treatments.

But chiropractic care also can be helpful for people with arthritis, scoliosis, asthma, sinus problems and digestive issues, Heppner said.

Pregnant women in particular may find chiropractic care to be very beneficial, Heppner said.

Expecting mothers often develop chronic back and hip pain during their pregnancy, which can cause difficulty sleeping.

“When people are pregnant, their center of gravity shifts and there is significant weight gain,” Heppner said. “Their ligaments relax and grow more stretchy.”

These body changes place additional stress on muscles, joints and ligament, causing sprains, strains and tears.

Unfortunately, pregnant women who have developed chronic pain often find themselves with limited choices for treatment.

“They can’t take that much medicine, and they certainly don’t want to have surgery,” Heppner said.

Chiropractic care offers a safe alternative for these women, albeit one they might not consider right away.

“Pregnant women are hesitant, because they don’t know if it’s safe,” Heppner said. “It certainly is safer than taking prescription drugs. I would say it’s safer for both mother and baby than most of the alternatives.”

In fact, chiropractic care during pregnancy can make labor and delivery easier and shorter, Heppner said.

Heppner Chiropractic offers treatment from two chiropractic physicians and four licensed massage therapists.

Chiropractic care has taken on a more prominent role in American medicine since the passage of the Affordable Care Act. Insurance companies are now required to cover treatment provided by chiropractic physicians if they fall under the essential health benefits guaranteed by health care reform.

Many Oregon health insurance plans cover chiropractic and other forms of alternative care, and Heppner Chiropractic will bill insurance plans for both chiropractic care and massage therapy.

Carolyn Hale

...Doctor, Volunteer, “Nana”

By David Hegle

H

er grandkids are always asking for sleepovers at “Nana’s”, and one reason has to be Carolyn Hale’s infectious laugh.

The doctor of dermatology has much to enjoy in life: a varied day job; 26 years at the same Presbyterian church; a big family with a close twin sister and three grandchildren.

One grandson and granddaughter are close by, another grandson in Minneapolis.

Hale helped the Minneapolis daughter relocate from Rochester, and recalling

the challenges of moving a young boy plus two cats elicits a fresh wave of laughter.

Hale has “an interest in young people not paying for mistakes forever.”

At the Oregon Youth Authority’s Hillcrest correctional facility in southeast Oregon, she’s met many young people paying for some major mistakes. She works to erase some of the most visible: tattoos.

“It’s my belief you should always be doing some volunteer work,” Hale said, “giving back to the community in an unpaid way.”

The Mid-Valley community has long been home, with undergrad studies at Linfield and a medical degree from OHSU. Hale started practice in 1988 and has been in the Salem-Keizer area since 1998.

Now 65, her expertise has benefited places far from Oregon.

58 | For Your Health 2013

Kobbi R. Blair

Hale’s friend and fellow dermatologist, Dr. Susan Denman, persuaded her to visit Honduras in 2006 on a medical aid trip for Medical Teams Northwest.

Making it a family affair,

‘‘

That’s one of the best things about dermatology, how diverse my appointments are...

You know these kids are going to have a rough time — we’re not giving them an easy life, we’re just trying to make it less hard.”

- Carolyn Hale, M.D.

“our daughters knew Spanish so they interpreted,” Hale said.

For another trip with Denman, this time to Tanzania in 2008, the focus was entirely on consulting with other doctors. Especially in countries where there are hardly any dermatology specialists, Hale believes “education is key to doing any good.”

Dermatology treatments are often ongoing. An example from her practice: patients at great risk for skin cancer undergo full body photography and come back once a year for a careful comparison by Hale.

For such trips abroad, the American Academy of Dermatology asks for volunteers, and the tangible perks aren’t great.

“You work hard when you go, and you pay for your own way,” Hale said. “You have to gather your own equipment, your own medications.”

Doctors shoulder significant costs and

Regarding her own parenting days, Hale recalls consulting “a counselor when one of my kids was acting out.

‘Your child will be fine,’ they said.

‘She has a good education and you have a good income.’

also lose revenue while away from their normal practices.

Hale loves to travel, but family is one reason to stay closer to home; in her multi-generational tribe, there are upcoming weddings and recent funerals, including her mother’s.

“I thought, how unfair in our society that income would dictate the result of a person’s life. That’s always bothered me. If a parent has enough money, they can pay for their kids’ tattoos to come off.”

Hillcrest, currently waiting for its first user review on Google, is a much closer opportunity to volunteer.

Once a month, for the past 15 years, she visits to remove gang tattoos via laser treatments.

Dr. Denman was once again the instigator, starting, bringing in Hale, and 2 years later withdrawing from the Hillcrest program due to a Portland relocation.

At her practice at Dermatology Northwest, Hale is entirely focused on medical matters, from cancer concerns to all manner of acne, eczema, and lesions, as well as stubborn bedsores and wounds from an autoimmune disease like lupus.

Hale became the sole volunteer, as she is now.

Her constant contact at Hillcrest is Griselda Solano Salinas, part of the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations.

“That’s one of the best things about dermatology,” Hale said, “how diverse my appointments are.”

At the office, Hale doesn’t deal with those who lament having a raincloud permanently drawn on their arm.

Inky regret will not get you an appointment.

However, her compassion is evident as she wields a laser at Hillcrest.

“This was just the perfect fit for me, and it’s an obvious need.” Hale said.

“These kids need to be able to get back into society in a good and healthy way.”

Name: Carolyn Hale, M.D.

“It’s hard to find a dedicated employee, much less a volunteer,” Salinas said. “We are very fortunate to find someone like Dr. Hale.”

Practice: Dermatology Northwest, 5900 Inland Shores Way, Suite 202, Keizer, OR 97303

Hale gives her time at least once a month, but also her own money.

Over time, the laser wore out like any other piece of technology, but Salinas said Hale and Denman together donated a second laser so treatments could continue.

Contact: 503-463-6799

It takes many laser treatments to sufficiently remove a tattoo, but by the time youths first see Hale, they’re not the same person who was admitted to Hillcrest.

“When I see them, they’re very polite kids – they don’t have that chip on their shoulder,” Hale said. “They have to have decided they don’t want to be in gangs anymore. Different kids just take longer to figure that out.”

Salinas explained that “it’s their own choice to say ‘this is something that’s keeping me from change, and no one wants to hire me because I have these gang tattoos visible.’”

The free cost, extensive treatment time, and numerous candidates from

multiple Oregon facilities mean hundreds of names on a waiting list.

Salinas and Hale emphasize the opportunity for other physicians or nurse practitioners to make a real impact by joining the program in any capacity.

“When [youths are] almost ready to leave, I’ll ask them where they are going to go,” Hale said. Their answers are encouraging but sobering.

“You know these kids are going to have a rough time — we’re not giving them an easy life, we’re just trying to make it less hard.”
