Introduction
The Genesis Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Service Line continued to grow in size and scope during fiscal years 2010 and2011, remaining the largest Program in the State of Iowa. Referralsto the Inpatient Program increased 6.4% in FY 10 and another 6.3%in FY 11. A total of 1,098 inpatients were served coming from7states and 26 Iowa and Illinois counties during the two-year period.The amount of therapy services provided in our outpatient physicalrehabilitation clinics also increased. This growth testifies to the factthat our services are highly regarded by the physicians who refer patients to us and by the patients and families we have served.
Program achievements were many during these fiscal years. Highlights include the following.
Dr. Blaine Washington II joined Genesis bringing the number ofphysiatrists available at Genesis to five. Two additional outpatient rehabilitation clinics opened, giving patients the option of 13 convenient locations to chose from. In Iowa, sites are located in Bettendorf, Davenport, DeWitt, Eldridge, LeClaire and Iowa City.In Illinois, sites are in Moline and Silvis.
Safety became one of the Genesis core values, enhancing those ofIntegrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence. AllGenesis staff and physicians completed a 3-hour safety trainingcourse.
A community-based Fall Prevention Program was developed and isoffered to essentially healthy senior citizens who want to increasetheir strength, coordination and agility and thus decrease their risk of falling.
To increase efficiency and communication, scheduling monitors were installed on the nursing units and in all of the inpatient therapyclinics, similar to what is seen in an airport. This has lessened downtime and missed therapy sessions. Patient satisfaction scoreshave increased with this change. Ninety-seven percent of the patients contacted after discharge state they are satisfied to very satisfied with the rehabilitation services received.
In September 2010, the Genesis Physical Medicine and RehabilitationProgram received notification of the recent CARF accreditation surveyresults. CARF is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is topromote the quality, value and optimal outcomes of services providedto persons with disabilities. The Genesis Program was awarded accreditation for seven specific programs. Genesis became the firstprogram in the State of Iowa to have an accredited Spinal Cord System of Care Program. Genesis also is the only Outpatient Brain Injury accredited program and is one of only two accredited InpatientBrain Injury Programs. Of special note is the fact that the CARF accredited programs were recognized as having 31 areas of strength.In addition, several initiatives were considered exemplary; the Gene-sis safety program, community outings, therapy dog program, andthe adaptive water ski program offered by the Therapeutic Recre-ation Department, the rehabilitation driving program, and the inter-nally developed computerized scheduling system.
The Genesis Rehabilitation Program continues to expand servicesand grow as the result of the talented and dedicated physicians andstaff. Our mission remains to provide compassionate, quality servicesthat will maximize independence and facilitate the achievement of individual goals of all those in need of physical medicine and rehabilitation. This would not be possible without the continued support of the Genesis Administrative Team and the Genesis HealthSystem Board.

Brain InjuryInpatient
Rebounding after brain injuryGenesis rehab programs helpput the pieces back together
Jerry Ward’s visible injuries havehealed since his motorcycle accident last summer.The bruised legs and hip, the
cracked ribs, broken clavicle and subdural hematoma have mended. He can walk again. In fact, he walks more than 2 miles a day now and has lost 92 pounds -- down from 320 pounds before his injury.Eight months after the accident,
some would say he looks healthier than he did before. Not as easily apparent, how-
ever, is the “hidden” injury to hisbrain. Brain injury has affectedhow he thinks, acts and feels. Ithas lingered after the physicalpain has healed.In reality, he lost the weight
because he no longer has asense of taste. It’s difficult for him to sit through an entiremovie or TV sitcom without losing focus. It’s easier for him to comprehend a face-to-faceconversation than talk on thetelephone.He remembers people he knew
in school yet can easily forget the name of someone he justmet. Large crowds and noisygatherings make him anxious; the multitude of voices becomestoo distracting.
The brain is selective, and whathe remembers doesn’t alwaysmake sense to him.“The biggest challenge is
memory,” says Ward, whoworked as the postmaster in Cordova, Ill., before the accidentand has traveled the world as ayouth counselor.
Giving patients a ‘lift’ Ward credits the Learning Independence For Tomorrow(LIFT) program at Genesis withhelping him return to an active,productive life. Recently, hebegan transitioning back to worka couple of hours a day -- the firsttime since the June 14, 2009, theday he swerved his motorcycle to avoid a car making an unexpected U-turn.He didn’t hit the car, but his
head hit the concrete hard.The closed head injury resulted
in a craniotomy to treat a subdural hematoma and a two-month stay on the GenesisPhysical Medicine and Rehabilita-tion Unit in Davenport, thelargest inpatient rehabilitationunit in Iowa. It’s the only QuadCities hospital with CARF-accredited brain injury programs.Ward also had aphasia, or
damage to the language areas of the brain.“I might want to say ‘I’m going
to the kitchen’ but instead say‘I’m going to the garage.’ I wasso confused,” he says. “I knew Ishould know the right answer,but I couldn’t say it. After his long inpatient stay,
Jerry Ward began the intensive,outpatient LIFT program, theonly one of its kind in the Quad Cities area. The program is at Genesis Medical Park,Maplecrest in Bettendorf.There, he learned strategies
to deal with losses in his concentration, attention spanand short-term memory. Histreatment plan included the help of experts in occupational,speech, physical and recreationtherapies and social work.“At first, I was very insecure
about coming to the LIFT program,” he says. “I would beintroduced to people and think ‘I don’t understand why I need to know this.’ But the more Iworked, the more I understood.” Like many brain injury patients,
Jerry Ward wasn’t fully aware ofhis limitations caused by the injuries to three of his five brainlobes. Not only does the LIFTprogram work on improving reasoning, problem-solving, attention and concentration skills, but it also makes patientsmore aware of their deficits.
Road to recoveryDepending on what area of the brain is damaged, peoplewith brain injury can have a variety of physical, cognitive, behavioral and emotional impairments. Challenges canrange from weakness and trouble with coordination toproblems with memory, organization, speaking or swallowing.
No brain injury is the same, andthe effects are complex and varygreatly from person to person.
Trips out into the community,such as to the shopping mall or a restaurant, help patients in the LIFT program build independence and confidenceand work on functional skills. Theprogram also acts as a liaison topatients as they return to work.
Last December, Lori Dryg, SLP,visited Jerry Ward’s workplace tobetter understand the skills hisjob entails -- from multi-taskingand helping customers to fillingout financial reports and meetingtime-sensitive deadlines for mail delivery. For the next threemonths, she and others helpedhim hone those skills.
{ }Jerry Ward builds his strength and endurance while listening to audiotapes at the Genesis Learning Independence for Tomorrow (LIFT) program, an outpatient-based program for brain injury rehabilitation.
“At first, I was very insecure about coming to the LIFT
program. I would be introduced topeople and think ‘I don’t understand
why I need to know this.’ But the more I worked, the more I understood.”

The electronic device on Sarah Barker’sleg is inconspicuous, but it provides one huge advantage: Now she can comfortably walk while talking with her friends.Barker, 31, suffered a traumatic brain
injury at the age of 17 when the vehiclein which she rode was “T-boned” by another auto, the driver of which had run a red light. The Bettendorf HighSchool student had been on her way to see the Patty Loveless country musicshow at the Mississippi Valley Fair.She was severely injured, resulting
in hospitalization for almost a year, including three months in a coma.But Barker has been fighting back
every day since, aided by the use of electronic devices, including the NessL300 Foot Drop System made by Bioness Inc. of Valencia, Calif.“It helps me considerably,” she said.
“I’m constantly improving.”Doctors and physical therapists at
Genesis Outpatient Rehabilitation in Bettendorf learned of the Ness L300about two years ago. Barker liked the device once she got a chance to try itout, but getting insurance to cover the $6,200 cost was a chore, physicaltherapist Patricia Darland said.“Like all new technology, it is pricey,”
added Darland, who has worked withBarker the past eight to nine years. “Insurance companies cover it on a case-by-case basis, if they cover it at all.”The Ness L300 supplies an artificial
electrical signal to the nerves that stimulate the muscles to work. It works
for a number of patients, including thosewho have had a brain injury, stroke orspinal cord injury.“If they have a nerve that’s capable of
working in their lower legs, it can work,”Darland said.It hurts sometimes, but only a little.
“I just have to walk it off,” Barker said.Before Barker used the device, she had
to think hard and concentrate on how she would walk, without drawing specialattention to herself. “It used to be veryhard for Sarah to walk and talk at thesame time, like she wants to do with herfriends,” Darland said.But the Ness L300 enables Barker to
move faster and more smoothly. Anothernice advantage is that it’s small and no special clothing is needed. The Bettendorf resident has tried a number of gadgets to help her over the years, including one that required special shoes.“That’s very problematic,” she said.Barker is preparing now for the fall
semester of college, her first at St. Ambrose University in Davenport,where she will be a junior.“I’ve scoped out the parking lot by
the building where my class is,” she said.“There are 16 parking places. I'll getthere early.”

Injured Davenport Fire Department Capt. Bob Juarezcompetes in the Quad-CityTimes Bix 7.
Injured Davenport Fire DepartmentCapt. Bob Juarez competes in theQuad-City Times Bix7.
Cheers of support, burning handsand lots of help were all part ofDavenport firefighter Bob Juarez’sfirst Quad-City Times Bix 7 experience since being paralyzedfrom the waist down last year.
Juarez, injured after falling from aladder while fighting a downtownDavenport fire, was in the hospitalduring last year’s Bix 7. This year,using a wheelchair and accompa-nied by about 15 firefighters, relatives and friends, he finishedthe race in about 1 hour, 19 minutes.
“It was pretty easy, although I had a lot of help from a bunch of youngfirefighters,” the Davenport firecaptain said after the race. “Nextyear, I want to do more work.”
The race, which starts with its trademark uphill run and ends with a street party, is a combinationof intensity and whimsy. With a race-time temperature of 67 degrees and 81 percent humidity, conditions were amongthe best of the event’s 35 years.
Along with friends and family,Juarez was accompanied up BradyStreet hill by Abel Vazquez of Davenport, who is also wheelchair-bound after a construction accidentabout a year-and-a-half ago.Vazquez faded from Juarez’s pace,but finished under 90 minutes.Vazquez had met Juarez in the hospital.
“I was glad to have all the supportof all the firefighters,” Vazquez said.Juarez appreciated the support hereceived on the course, calling itthe best part of the race.
“It was nice, with all the peoplecheering my name,” he said.
The Brady Street hill was the worstpart, Juarez said. It was difficultgoing up, and his gloved handsburned as he came down.
The veteran runner of more than 15 Bix 7 races vowed to do betternext year.
“I’m going to try and do a lotmore,” he said. “I’ll be in bettershape.”

Bringing physician specialists closer to home
Conway Chin, D.O., knows hisphysical medicine and rehabilitationpatients often have limited mobilityand rely on family to bring them todoctors’ appointments and therapy.
That’s why, once a month, he bringshis clinic closer to the home of hisDeWitt area patients, where hesees them on the campus of Genesis Medical Center, DeWitt.
“I already had quite a few patientsin this area. This prompted me todevote some time coming here so people wouldn’t be missing appointments because of distanceor lack of transportation,” says Dr. Chin. “It has been more efficient for my own practice.”
Many of Dr. Chin’s patients, such as those who have had a stroke orundergone an amputation, first methim when they spent time in the inpatient Rehabilitation Unit atGenesis Medical Center, WestCampus. Now as they undergoGenesis outpatient therapy in DeWitt, they benefit from a coordinated system of care.
Fitness in the Park
Genesis Power Sports Performance,or PSP, offered free “Fitness in thePark” instruction every Saturday fora month at the new Genesis HealthBeat equipment located on BenButterworth Parkway in Moline, IL.A variety of stations are available
for aerobic and anaerobic exercise.
The equipment was donated to the city of Moline and recently installed. Genesis Health Systemalso donated similar equipment to Davenport, IA; Aledo, IL; andDeWitt, IA.

Sewing dresses for Haiti
They came together one Sunday on the Genesis Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Unit to sew “pillowcase”dresses for little girls living in earthquake-ravaged Haiti.
In the Occupational Therapy office atGenesis, seasoned seamstresses and volunteers who had never sewn unitedfor one common goal: To create a littlejoy for youngsters living in a countryhard-hit by natural disaster.
At least 170 dresses were sewn by about 30 volunteers. The dresses were delivered to orphanages in Haiti by Genesis rehab nurse Deb Stockdale,R.N., who has made a medical missiontrip annually to the country for the past10 years.
The outpouring is far more than unit secretary Laurie Peiffer ever expectedwhen she first learned about a ministrycalled “Little dresses for Africa.”
About the same time, earthquake devastation in Haiti dominated the news.She recruited occupational therapistGretchen Cluff to helpher organize a similareffort for Haiti.
“We started talking toothers on the Rehabfloor. People began donating cash, material,notions, bias tape andelastic, and it just kindof spiraled,” Gretchensays.
She remembers that special Sunday atGenesis when volunteers came togetherto sew. “We started the day with 40-50already-completed dresses,” she says. “A couple of customers from HancockFabrics brought in about 25. By the end of the day, we had 136 dresses completed.”
“We’re taking new T-shirts for the boys,so they’ll have something new to wear aswell,” says Stockdale, who also collectsdonations of sundry items and medicalsupplies from Genesis employees.
Because Haiti is a very conservative country, the girls won’t be able to wearthe dresses to church. “But most of theireveryday clothes are very worn, and they don’t get new things to wear foreveryday,” she says, adding that needs have grown in the wake of the earthquake. “The clothes will be very much appreciated.”
