The family medicine group treats patients of all ages so the easy access is
especially important. The wheelchair accessible entrance is helpful for
those in wheelchairs and walkers, as well as young families with strollers.
The spacious waiting room allows for separate or group seating and the

though the entire left side of his brain was

down was mostly non-functional. He is very
active in Special Olympics and participates
in bowling, track, basketball and baseball.
Lacking the fine motor skills in his right
hand never stopped him from doing his best.”
One day in 2010, Logan’s grandmother saw
a feature on WLIO about a new Saebo therapy
that was being offered at St. Rita’s. She
taped the segment and told her son and
daughter-in-law they needed to see it.

*The SaeboFlex allows the neurologically impaired individuals the ability to incorporate their hand functionally in therapy
and at home by supporting the weakened wrist, hand, and fingers. In addition, the SaeboFlex is non-electrically based and
is purely mechanical.
The SaeboFlex positions the wrist and fingers into extension in preparation for functional activities. The user is able to
grasp an object by voluntarily flexing his or her fingers. The extension spring system assists in re-opening the hand to

Shirley Newland Receives
Shirley Newland received the Catherine McAuley
Lifetime Achievement Award in Volunteerism at the
2011 Volunteer Recognition Luncheon. Shirley has
donated over 14 years and nearly 15,000 hours of
service to St. Rita’s.
She donates her time in three
different departments of the medical center. On
Mondays you will see her as a Greeter in the Lobby,
Thursdays at the Thrift Shop and Fridays in Same
Day Surgery.
But, Shirley’s belief in volunteerism didn’t begin
with St. Rita’s. She was a member of the Sprint
Pioneers volunteer club before she retired where
she served as a Past Secretary, helped build a
ramp, paint a map on a play ground, pick up litter
and more.
She is also a greeter on the Offering Counting
Team and prepares Communion at Lima
Community Church. The Catherine McAuley award is
named for the founder of the Sisters of Mercy.

St. Rita’s Palliative Care
Marks 10th Anniversary
Palliative Care was a relatively new concept 10 years ago.
The specialty serves patients and families who are experiencing a life changing condition. A task force was put
together to see if it was a viable service to add to St.
Rita’s patient care. Members from nursing, hospice care,
medical staff and mission services took part in the multidisciplinary task force.
As a result, in 2001 St. Rita’s adopted a Mission Initiative
to provide quality care for our patients and families
through a team approach to pain and stress management
called Palliative Care.
“Palliative care really was a system wide initiative,” said
Mark Skaja, St. Rita’s Vice President of Mission Services.
“We already had an established hospice program and
hospice nurse Lynn Woten, a member of the task force,
was interested in expanding to palliative care. We were
very happy to appoint Lynn as our first palliative care
nurse and manager of the program.”
Lynn Woten
“I was very excited about taking on the palliative care
program,” said Lynn Woten. “In hospice we were used to
treating the “whole” patient and family. I saw what a
difference the holistic care made. But hospice care
focused on end of life treatment whereas Palliative Care is
for anyone coping with a life altering illness or condition. It
may be the result of a disease of even a serious accident.
Palliative Care nurses advocate for the entire team… the
patient, family, bedside nurse, physician anyone involved
with the individual’s treatment.
“Before we started the program at St. Rita’s, we visited
existing programs in Birmingham, Alabama and
Chicago… seeking expert advice and hoping to avoid
pitfalls they may have encountered. That was very helpful
and we were able to have positive experiences from

“Dr. Sarat Kuchapudi was the first
medical director of Palliative Care and
he was excellent,” Lynn said. “I am not
sure we would have been as successful
as we were without his participation.
After eight years Dr. Marc Rovner took
the medical director role and he too is
remarkable. Initially we hoped to some-
day have 50% of our medical providers
actively working with Palliative Care. I
am very pleased to say over 90% of our
referrals come from physicians and
nurses.
“We all agreed that our primary goal was
to provide every patient with comfort
and dignity. That meant symptom
control, as well as providing spiritual
care and psycho-social treatment for
both patient and family. It is a total team
approach from the physician to the
bedside nurse, to chaplains, to nutrition-
ists to pharmacists, to social workers

helpful where circumstances may be out

Palliative Care has literally hundreds of
letters and notes of thanks from patients
and their families expressing their
appreciation for the palliative care team,
but Lynn says she is the one who is
grateful.
“I cannot imagine any better way to fin-
ish my last years working at the medical
center. I am so honored to be a part of
this program. What a privilege!”*
*Lynn is relinquishing her management of
the program, but will continue to work as
a part time Palliative Care nurse for the
next few years. The program will move
