DEAN’S MESSAGE

[ O U R G AT E W AY I S E V E R E X PA N D I N G ] At the UK College of Health Sciences, our mission is to function as the gateway to the health sciences. We are a doorway that students, faculty, and staff—who seek to touch every aspect of health care—can walk through to their next destination. It’s these destinations—hospitals, clinics, schools, graduate and professional programs, and more—that define our gateway. Workforce demand for our programs is steadily rising, and with it, the need to produce graduates who are competent, confident, and compassionate in their chosen fields. We are exploring multiple avenues to meet these needs. Our first path is through offering new education to impact the growing health care landscape. This is why we developed pre-professional opportunities resulting in increased applications to our college.

This student growth is consistently increasing with each year, and we remain number one among UK colleges of comparable size in retention. It’s important to recruit the best and brightest students, but it’s even more important to keep them here. Our college has the highest four-year graduation rate on campus proving our students start and finish with us. Our commitment to student success is the beating heart of CHS, and we are expanding efforts to financially support our students in their educational journey. I firmly believe no student should have to disrupt their education due to financial strain. Alleviating this burden through new scholarships and endowments plays a large role in our forthcoming initiatives.

This type of support is sure to bolster the spirit of discovery at our college. Over the years, our undergraduates, graduate candidates, and talented pool of faculty have made CHS the home of a thriving research enterprise. We are dedicated to exploring solutions to some of Kentucky and the world’s most pressing healthcare questions.

At CHS, we can show that education should not be limited by the amount of money in your bank account.

The innovative mind at CHS revolves around helping all people achieve the highest level of health possible. We are excited to create new doors and gateways that allow CHS constituents to further this calling.

with Elaine and Mike Jacobson Former University of Kentucky faculty member Elaine Jacobson, and her husband Myron “Mike” Jacobson, are successful entrepreneurs who look at more than financial statements to measure the results of their business ventures – they also look to the quality and quantity of the therapeutic applications of their research. “Research is where our hearts are,” said Elaine. “Our thrill is the research.” They are academics at heart, after all, and this thrill for research is alive and well, and increasing, at the University of Kentucky College of Health Sciences through an award established in their name: the Myron and Elaine Jacobson Innovation Award.

The Road of Discovery Leads to Kentucky Elaine and Mike were enjoying successful careers as faculty members at the University of North Texas Health Sciences Center when a colleague suggested commercializing their research findings. Soon after, in 1992, Mike and Elaine began looking at the University of Kentucky (UK).

Their primary research focused on cancer, and the UK Markey Cancer Center offered resources and expertise that could take their venture to the next level. Another draw was UK’s Advanced Science and Technology Commercialization Center (ASTCC), a premier entrepreneurial ecosystem business incubator that encourages early-stage, high-technological, startup company growth. The Jacobsons would be able to move their labs

to this facility and take advantage of the proximity to other faculty entrepreneurs. Both were ready for the challenge of the move and the opportunity to build their careers. “We knew we would need to juggle the demands of our academic work and research while building our company,” Mike said. “In theory, 100 percent of your time would be divided by the company and the university. Instead, it becomes 100 percent to each. It takes great commitment.”

Planting the Seeds of Innovation Through Niadyne and Beyond The Jacobsons’ deep commitment to biomedical research created new avenues within the health sciences landscape—resulting in the development of a commercial product and new passion to see other researchers succeed as entrepreneurs. Their research, which was funded by the National Institutes of Health for more than 30 years, led to the development of novel compounds designed for topical delivery of niacin (Vitamin B3). This research also resulted in the awarding of patents related to a niacin prodrug for the treatment of a variety of skin disorders. From their newly awarded patents, the Jacobsons developed a commercial product called Niadyne to prevent and treat skin conditions that result from an impaired skin barrier. “Your skin barrier is your skin armor,” Elaine said. “You want it to be in good condition. “Our technology drives the repair process

L O R A LY N C E C I L , DIRECTOR OF ADVANCEMENT for the skin barrier. Most skin-care products only address moisturization.” Their product can be found in brands such as Stiverton, a high-end beauty brand; Nia 24, a physician-dispensed brand; Bath and Body Works lines and in products developed by Kenyon Ranch Resorts and Spas. These products have received increasing positive reviews from both consumers and medical professionals alike. And, the Jacobsons dedication to the spirit of discovery hasn’t ended with Niadyne. Now, royalties from sales of Niadyne products are used to inspire and support research at the University of Kentucky College of Health Sciences through the Myron and Elaine Jacobson Innovation Award. The College of Health Sciences established the award in 2017 to generate and accelerate interest in entrepreneurial efforts among UK College of Health Sciences faculty, administration and professional staff. It currently focuses on new, independent ventures in the seed, start-up, or early growth stages. It made perfect sense to the Jacbosons for the college to create the award from the royalties of their product. “You’ll always stand on the shoulder of those who came before you,” Elaine said. “The UK College of Health Sciences has come far in recent years,” continued Mike. “And we are gratified by this award. For things to grow you have to seed them. It is our hope that this award will seed more innovation in the years to come.”

[APHASIA LAB]

Helps Stroke TBI Survivors Rediscover Their Voice L A U R E N T H O M P S O N, D I R E CTO R O F C O M M U N I C AT I O N S

Imagine you’re trying to carry on a conversation with a friend: You can clearly envision the sentence in your mind, the carefully constructed thoughts and words are all there. But, as soon as the words reach your lips, they sound wrong. In fact, what you are now verbalizing sounds nothing like the thought in your head at all. For many people who survive a stroke or traumatic brain injury, this is just a snippet in a day in the life of living with aphasia. Aphasia is an acquired language disorder usually resulting from a stroke or trauma in the brain’s dominant hemisphere. The condition causes a disconnect in the areas of the brain responsible for language and can impact a person’s ability to speak, read, write, and listen (ranging from very mild to severe). There is no cure for aphasia and most patients struggle with lifelong side effects. This search to alleviate symptoms and help those affected by aphasia regain

“Our current medical model is often based on the ‘fix it our cure it’ model which doesn’t work for aphasia. People with aphasia aren’t getting the rehabilitation services they need. Our lab is stepping in to fill this gap.” language function is where Robert Marshall, PhD, F-ASHA, CCC-SLP, BCANCDS, HONORS-ASHA, professor in the communications sciences and disorders (CSD) program, has dedicated more than 50 years of his life’s work. Marshall has been recognized as a clinician, particularly for his scholarly works on Wernicke’s aphasia (when the ability to grasp the meaning of spoken words and sentences is impaired) and the use of group therapy. His funded research has examined the role of selfcorrection in recovery from aphasia, efficacy of aphasia treatment, treatment

of aphasic naming deficits, and problem solving in individuals with neurological compromise. “Many people with aphasia stay in treatment and work to improve their language skills for much of their lives,” Marshall said. “In addition to my teaching and research, I supervise our students in a program called the Aphasia Lab. This lab is a place where people living with aphasia can receive a variety of services while our students gain real-world training with the disorder.” The Aphasia Lab—which is part of the larger CSD Academic Clinic—is a selective program that offers individual and group speech sessions and support for families and their members who are coping with aphasia. There are currently 25 participants in the program ranging in age from 25 to 89 years old. “This lab is primarily open to people with aphasia who have a strong will to keep improving their language skills,” Marshall

said. “Our current medical care system is often based on the “fix it or cure it” model which doesn’t work for aphasia. People with aphasia aren’t getting the rehabilitation services they need. Services are diminishing, and our lab is stepping in to fill this gap.”

The “Life Participation Approach” In addition to traditional speech-language interventions, much of the work in the aphasia lab is based on the “life participation approach” (LPAA). “The LPAA approach is based on positive psychology and doing what you can to help people live with aphasia as successfully as possible,” Marshall continued. “Aphasia treatment isn’t just limited to the person living with the condition. It includes advocacy and education for family members, too.” This could mean spouses must learn new ways to communicate with their partners or family members can begin advocating for more aphasia awareness within their communities. Deborah Walker’s 25-year-old son Carson started Marshall’s program last year. In 2016, Carson experienced a stroke and is now living with aphasia in the aftermath. To improve their communication efforts, mother and son both learned sign language. “Carson can sign the entire alphabet,” Walker said. “Sometimes he may get stuck on a word when we converse. When this happens, I’ll ask him to sign the first letter to me. This helps cue him and the word usually comes.” Marshall stressed helping families find this type of new normal is imperative. “Aphasia isn’t a disorder that receives much awareness or funding. There’s a lack of knowledge that exists, and unless it happens to you, you would probably never give it a second thought,” he said. “The reason the disorder takes such a

toll is because people living with aphasia must adjust with the impairment to their normal lives. Having a conversation or balancing a checkbook suddenly become difficult tasks.”

The Power of Rediscovering Your Voice Too often, people living with aphasia can feel excluded or disconnected from society. “There’s a lot of stigma that people living with aphasia are ‘slow’,” Walker said. “This couldn’t be further from the truth. My son’s cognitive abilities and intelligence were not impacted in any way by his stroke. It’s the aphasia that doesn’t allow him to get his words out.” “Happiness is a choice we make every day,” Walker continued. “What we’ve learned through this experience is nothing is going to touch our joy. I’m so grateful Carson is able to work with CSD students through this program. It gives him a chance to be around people his age. That’s really important. It helps him to feel more normal and connected.” At the end of the day, this human connection is what Marshall’s lab seeks to fulfill. “Before I started attending Dr. Marshall’s group sessions, I thought I was alone,” said Sid Klinksiek, a former football player and stroke survivor. “Then I met the other guys in our group. I saw that each one had their own struggle to overcome. It gave me hope.” Bob Heiple, who attends the same group session as Klinksiek, echoed his friend’s sentiments. “Getting to know the men in this group has been life-changing,” he said. “I look forward to it every Monday. It makes talking easier, and this program has helped me so much.” “When I met Bob I was immediately struck by his attitude,” Marshall said. “I thought: Here’s this guy who had a

stroke in the prime years of his life, he now uses a wheelchair for mobility, yet his spirit is unsinkable. It’s a joy to watch his and the group’s overall communication improve every week.” Eighty-nine-year-old Audrey Sitzlar has faithfully attended Marshall’s program since its inception more than a decade ago. After her stroke in 2003, she now lives with a more severe form of aphasia affecting her speech, reading, and writing. “She hates to miss sessions because she doesn’t want the students to miss out on their education,” said her husband, Steve Sitzlar. “Thanks to this program, Audrey has gained back many of the words she lost to her stroke. She can carry on small conversations now.” “We’ve never hidden the fact that Audrey has aphasia,” Steve continued. “She is not defined by her disability. We are just honest and transparent that for us, it may just take a little more time. Her voice is still important. Her voice should be heard.”

L O R E T T A S T A F F O R D , H E A LT H C A R E P U B L I C R E L AT I O N S S P E C I A L I S T

There is much to be said about the power of perseverance — just ask Louisville native Paige Raque, a 2018 graduate of CHS’s Communications Sciences and Disorders program. Raque is earned her master’s degree in speechlanguage pathology. She hopes to follow in the footsteps of the therapists who helped her find her voice after a frightening accident left her with a traumatic brain injury and an unsure shot at recovery. In October 2012, Raque was living the quintessential college student’s dream. The Penn State University cheerleader was in her sophomore year and had just decided on a major in biobehavioral sciences. Life was a well-oiled machine. Everything changed, however, when an accident resulted in Raque falling out of a fifth-floor window. The impact of the 39-foot drop left her with a broken neck, shattered vertebrae, cracked ribs and a broken leg. She sustained a traumatic brain injury that left her in a coma. “No one knew if I would live,” Raque said. Weeks later, Raque awoke. She was eventually transferred to Frazier Rehab Institute. Her road to recovery had begun, but it wouldn’t be an easy one. Unable to speak, she relied on facial movements to communicate with those around her. As feeling returned to her legs, it came in the form of severe nerve pain. “I wasn’t able to have anything touch them at all,” she recalled. “Sometimes people would walk past and the air breeze on my feet caused me to burst out in tears.” Returning to normalcy came with more roadblocks than Raque anticipated. “I thought I would run out when it was time to be discharged. The first time I stood, I would only stand for less than 15 seconds before passing out.”

For some time, she wasn’t even able to open her eyes. As it turns out, people with traumatic brain injuries sleep with their eyes open; her eyes had become so dried out that she had to wear sunglasses to therapy. After six weeks,

her physical strength was beginning to return. Her voice did not. She continued to communicate only through facial expressions and hand gestures. Raque’s speech therapists persisted, they knew she would one day regain her voice. In one session, her therapist set up a mock game show. She lifted a microphone to Raque’s mouth and asked her to introduce herself.

Hi, I’m Paige

WERE RAQUE’S FIRST WORDS Amazed, she rolled Raque back to her room where her father was waiting for her to return from therapy. His back was to the door when he heard his daughter’s voice for the first time in over a month. As her speech improved, so did her memory. She explained that her incredible therapists are the reason why she remained motivated throughout her recovery, even once she returned home. She would work the entire day in outpatient therapy, return home, and go straight to the basement to continue exercising. “I always wanted to get better and I knew I was going to.” As time passed, she continued to progress. Eventually, she was able to return to Penn State. In 2016, she earned her bachelor’s degree in communication sciences and disorders. This semester, she completed her clinical rotation at Frazier, the same rehab facility where she was once a patient. Raque says it’s amazing to sit on the other side of the table. The immense support she received from her own therapists is the reason why she was able to return to school, earn her degree and find her passion. She connects with her patients on a unique level: her experience uplifts them when they become frustrated and discouraged. “I can’t wait to give my patients hope.”

HITS ITS STRIDE IN THE COLLEGE & BEYOND

LAUREN THOMPSON, D I R E CTO R O F C O M M U N I C AT I O N S

When Brian Noehren, PT, PhD, FACSM, first began practicing as a physical therapist he had zero intention of pursuing a career in research. “I didn’t think I would step foot back on a college campus except to watch sports,” he quipped. But, after spending 4.5 years as a clinician, he grew dissatisfied with the lack of scientific evidence that supported the methods he used as a practitioner. Now, Noehren is immersed in research as an associate professor in the divisions of physical therapy and rehabilitation sciences, and as the director of the University of Kentucky College Health Sciences Biomotion Lab.“ I decided I wanted to be someone who was contributing to the solutions of what my patients were facing instead of feeling like I was on the sidelines,” he said. Noehren’s progression from physical therapist to clinician scientist was a natural one, and the Biomotion Lab was born out of his desire to better understand movement dysfunction. “The name “Biomotion Lab” really hits at the heart of much of the research that we are involved in,” he explained. “It incorporated the biological mechanisms that drive motion

Health Sciences Gateway Winter 2018

such as muscle and the nervous system and sets up the foundation for what we do here.” The Biomotion Lab is used by a wide variety of investigators who study conditions ranging from multiple sclerosis to sarcopenia (the loss of muscle tissue that is a natural part of aging). The overarching focus of the aspects Noehren is responsible for includes studying patients with orthopaedic injuries and developing physical therapy strategies to alleviate chronic pain, improve muscle function, and restore healthy movement patterns. The bulk of the team’s research portfolio centers around anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries which disproportionately affect younger people. “We started out by looking at the long-term effects of an ACL reconstruction. Our goal was to find the underlying mechanisms and address the injury through new treatments,” Noehren said. “Our lab was one of the first groups to show there are changes in the composition of the muscle after sustaining a basic orthopedic injury.” This revelation sparked a profound paradigm shift in the health sciences community about muscle loss from orthopedic injuries and opened up a new area to be tested. According to Noehren, previous scientific findings pointed to changes in the nervous system as the main culprit for muscle loss. “However, if the nervous system isn’t accounting for this loss of muscle strength, it has to come from somewhere else. This discovery required a team with expertise in muscle physiology, physical therapy, and biomechanics. That’s what makes the Biomotion Lab and its partnerships so unique,” he said. Thanks to a National Institutes of Health grant, the Biomotion Lab is exploring a new treatment for muscle atrophy called “blood flow restricted training”. This approach partially excludes blood flow to an injured limb and study participants then begin training at a light weight. “The results of this research look to be impactful for reducing muscle loss after a surgery,” Noehren said. “Blood flow restricted training replicates the outcomes of heavy resistance training but is safe for patients to perform early after undergoing a surgical procedure. It still needs to be rigorously tested, but we are hopeful.”

“Working together gives us a unique perspective on injuries.” that allow scientists to observe muscle function without performing invasive procedures like a muscle biopsy. Additionally, his group found novel ways to reevaluate muscle strength during the recovery process. “After an injury, the most important question is how quickly can you make your muscles work? We’ve even extended our findings in this area to create strategies for patients with osteoarthritis.” Noehren said. The Biomotion team is even tackling the opioid epidemic through a project led by one of Noehren’s graduate students, Josh Van Wyngaarden. “In any recovery process, a patient may experience acute pain that progresses to chronic pain. Josh’s project seeks to understand this process and see if it can be stopped. If we can halt the progression to chronic pain, then patients may never need to be prescribed opioids,” Noehren said. Noehren will tell you he considers mentoring and educating students as one of his most important duties. “There is a strong link between the undergraduate education happening in this lab and our overall research enterprise,” he said. “We want to educate and train young students so they can become promising scientists and clinicians like the graduate researchers in our lab.” “I want our students to apply what they learn in this lab to their lives and studies,” Noehren continued. “As scientists, we are all driven by discoveries that will lead to the next set of questions. Life’s like that, too. You never know quite where the road is going to turn. That’s what makes research and science great. It’s like writing and solving your own mystery novel.”

The lab is also making strides in assessing muscle function. Noehren’s team has developed several imaging techniques 13

[ AT A L U M N A SERVES HER C O M M U N I T Y; FULFILLS O LY M P I C DREAM] LAUREN THOMPSON, D I R E CTO R O F C O M M U N I C AT I O N S

Jaclyn Kaylor Donovan has always loved the Olympics. At age 16, she tried out for the 1996 Olympic softball team but unfortunately did not earn a spot. More than two decades later, her Olympic dream finally came to fruition through working with Olympic athletes as an athletic trainer.

J A C LY N D O N O V A N

Health Sciences Gateway Winter 2018

According to the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, athletic trainers (AT) are multi-skilled health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventive services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, & rehabilitation of injuries & medical conditions. Most athletic trainers are employed in university settings, high school/sports medicine or professional sports. Donovan, who earned her M.S. in Athletic Training from the University of Kentucky College of Health Sciences, currently lives in southwest Georgia & runs a sports medicine program that deploys athletic trainers to serve high schools in the surrounding rural communities. “I was the first athletic trainer hired by this hospital. Before I began this program, most of the high schools we work with had never hired an athletic trainer or were even aware of what an athletic trainer is,” she said. “I love my job because we give schools & athletes access to health care opportunities that may not have been possible outside our program.” As more students participate in sports, the number of athletic injuries is increasing sharply. This is why Donovan believes every school should have access to an athletic trainer. “We are seeing a large jump in musculoskeletal injuries, concussions, & heat-related illnesses,” she said. “To make the athletes’ experience safe, they deserve an athletic trainer to take care of them professionally.” “Having an athletic trainer on staff also takes the pressure off of coaches,” Donovan continued. “Now the coach no longer has to worry about working as medical personnel in addition to coaching. Having a full-time athletic trainer allows us as health care professionals to treat athletes more effectively. Kids are going to play sports, they should be able to do it safely.” It’s this passion for her athletes that inspired Donovan to volunteer as an athletic trainer with the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado. There, she worked with high-caliber athletes who compete in gymnastics,

boxing, & wrestling; among other sports. “I was unable to participate in the Olympics as an athlete, so serving as an athletic trainer was the next best thing,” she said. Upon her acceptance into the program, Donovan packed her bags, flew to Colorado, & was assigned to serve a two-week rotation at the training center’s sports medicine clinic. Her January assignment meant she was able to work with several Team USA athletes before the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang & athletes who will compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. “It was incredible to be around athletes who do nothing but train for the sport 24/7,” Donovan said. “These athletes are so attuned to their bodies & what they needed from me as an athletic trainer. It was a tremendous learning experience for me because I gained insights directly from the athlete.” But, the insights that left the biggest mark on Donovan weren’t made by household Olympic names. The training center in Colorado also houses a large number of para-athletes (athletes with disabilities). Working with this population was Donovan’s favorite part of her Olympic experience. “It was rewarding to watch many para-athletes — some with single or double amputations — perform difficult tasks with ease & do things I can’t do,” she said. “They excel at their sports. A lesser person would never attempt what they succeed at every day. It was humbling to help them in any small way that I could.” Donovan said the exceptional curriculum of the College of Health Sciences athletic training program prepared her to treat the athletes she worked with in Georgia & at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. “There is so much wisdom from the faculty in this program,” she said. “I improve every day as a practitioner & professional — able to successfully evaluate, assess, & treat athletes of all levels — because of what I learned at the University of Kentucky.”

[REFLECTIONS OF A STUDENT AMBASSADOR] CHS felt like ‘coming home’

Second-year student ambassador and human health sciences major Savannah Jones knew as soon as she applied to the College of Health Sciences that it would become much more to her than an academic experience. She strives daily to share with potential, new, and current students what’s at the heart of our college: A reputation for hospitality and excellence. Jones hails from Springfield, Illinois and had very specific requirements when searching for the right college. “I grew up in an area that is more rural than Lexington and I knew I wanted to apply to schools that made me feel like I was a member of a family and not just a number,” she said. “When I visited UK, and specifically CHS, it felt like coming home,” Jones continued. “The CHS staff were so personable and service-oriented. They were always willing to answer any question I had and immediately take care of my needs. I fell in love with the genuine hospitality of the school. It was real here.”

LAUREN THOMPSON, D I R E CTO R O F C O M M U N I C AT I O N S

Pursuing a degree in the medical field is not easy, and for a four-month period Jones had to balance the requirements of school along the loss of her medical insurance. “The Office of Student Affairs went above and beyond to shepherd me through this stressful process,” she said. “At one point, someone printed out a 50-page pamphlet for me and multiple people were on-hand to offer emotional support and firsthand experience. I am a testimony of how much this college truly cares about its students.” It’s this culture of belonging CHS fosters that led Jones to become a student ambassador. “When I started at UK, I hardly knew anyone. I ended up attending an ambassadors’ panel and immediately identified with their welcoming personalities,” she said. “All the ambassadors genuinely want every student to succeed and can relate to the exact same experiences we are all going through. I applied because I wanted to do the same thing for new students that past ambassadors did for me.” As an ambassador, Jones is part of a select group of students who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in academics and student leadership. The CHS Ambassadors serve the college and assist with recruitment, speak to community and university groups, plan social, philanthropic and educational activities for peers, and

represent the college at receptions and meetings. In addition to her duties as an ambassador, Jones is on the HHS prephysician assistant studies (PAS) track and hopes to channel her passion for patients into a career in geriatrics. “I chose physician assistant studies because my goal is to know my future patients on a personal level,” Jones said. “Positive experiences with physician assistants (PAs) originally drew me to the profession. My mom saw a PA and absolutely loved her. This PA actually caught many health issues the medical doctor missed. She and my mom had a great patient-provider relationship.” Over the summer, Jones worked in a nursing home which sparked her interest in geriatric practice. “Being able to show the residents love, kindness, and compassion, and serve them as their caregiver resonated with the calling on my life,” she said. “I want these people to know their voices matter to me.”

Inductee on Keeping the ‘Care’ in Health Care L A U R E N T H O M P S O N, D I R E CTO R O F C O M M U N I C AT I O N S The University of Kentucky College of Health Sciences inducted Bill Grimes, APRN, PA, into its Alumni Hall of Fame on April 19. Grimes, who is retired but still teaches part time at the College of Heath Sciences, is known for his legacy of compassionate care as both an educator and clinician. “I am proud to welcome Bill into the College of Health Sciences Hall of Fame,” said Dean Scott M. Lephart, PhD. “I can personally attest to his commitment to the health care profession and educating future caregivers. He serves in an exemplary manner through his work with students and as the co-founder of New Hope Free Clinic, which seeks to alleviate financial burdens for patients.” Born and raised in Chicago, Grimes moved to Kentucky in 1976. He holds multiple degrees including two associates, one in nursing and one in science; a B.S. in Science; B.H.S. in Health Science from the College of Health Sciences;

a master’s in pastoral studies; and a Doctor of Ministry in health care ministry. “My experience and work is in health science, but my attitude is that health care is a ministry,” Grimes said. “It’s caring for people in a different kind of way.” This calling led Grimes to co-found New Hope Free Clinic in Owingsville, Kentucky. According to Grimes, a burden for many patients stems from the attitude that business and payment in the medical profession is paramount, rather than care for the patient being the most essential factor. “Poverty is a huge divider in our nation,” Grimes said. “Lack of health insurance is a crisis. In a small way, we started this free clinic to try and bridge gaps for people who otherwise could not afford medical care.” Grimes distinctly remembers one of the first patients who planted the seed for New Hope’s beginning. “I was working at a regular clinic when C O N T I N U E D O N PA G E 18 17

I gently asked her why she waited so long to seek medical care.” Her answer still sticks with Grimes to this day. “She replied she had made an appointment a few months ago and was immediately asked upfront how she planned to pay for her visit,” he said. “This patient was so taken aback that she decided she would not return to the office until she collected enough money to be seen.” The process to save up payment was a long one, and sadly, Grimes’s patient passed away within three months of his diagnosis. “It was difficult to watch that happen,” he said. “I knew then that I wanted to create another way for people with fewer financial means to seek help and care.” Grimes attributes his experience as a clinician, and with New Hope, as his most helpful asset as an educator. “One of the things I always stress to my students is that we must be people who truly care,” he said. “What does care mean? For me, it means I treat patients with dignity and want what is best for them. I do everything I can to help them come to a better health and better life. It’s important for my students and all health care providers to remember that we must always keep the ‘care’ in health care.”
