Research at NEA Baptist Clinical Research Center
Robert Bienkowski, Ph.D., executive director of
the Baptist Clinical Research Institute, offers
updates on clinical research across the Baptist
system.
There is a lot of clinical research going on in a
small city in northeast Arkansas. The Clinical
Research Center at NEA Baptist Clinic in
Jonesboro is well-known and highly regarded in
the clinical trials industry.
According to Paul Koros, registered nurse,
certified clinical research coordinator and
manager of NEA Baptist Clinical Research Center,
more than 40 clinical trials sponsored by pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers are
under way in cardiology, rheumatology,
neurology, endocrinology, allergy, infectious
disease, women’s health and general internal
medicine.
Clinical trials are usually conducted simultaneously at several sites around the country, and
sometimes abroad, and NEA Baptist Clinical
Research Center consistently ranks among the top
enrolling sites. It is currently first in the country
for two studies – one for rheumatoid arthritis and
Wolverton
another for acute otitis media–second for a stent
study, and third in the nation for a study, which
has enrolled 596 subjects, of new technology to
evaluate Pap tests. The site recently received a
certificate of appreciation and a letter of
commendation for seizure studies that exceeded
enrollment goals. Exceeding goals is something
NEA Baptist Clinical Research Center does on a
regular basis. Right now it is ahead of projections
on at least five studies.
Quantity isn’t the only driver of the site’s stellar
reputation: the data produced by NEA Baptist
Clinical Research Center is rock solid. The
commitment to quality speaks to the professionalism and integrity of the research physicians and
nurses in rigorously adhering to clinical trial
protocols and conducting their research with the
highest regard for the rights and welfare of
research participants.
Koros, the site manager, credits its success to
the great team approach of its 36 dedicated physician-investigators and 10 colleagues. Their
success starts when document specialist Dana
Hammett identifies opportunities and secures
clinical trials, and then completes the necessary
Continued from page 1
An odd mix one might say, but readers dive into the book and become
pleasantly surprised by political references and literary allusions to the
British Parliament, the Denmark and Iceland fish wars and the basic nature
of human conflict.
“The story isn’t black and white,” says Wolverton. “I wanted to leave it
open ended and up to the readers to decide which characters were the good
guys and the villains.”
Neversink focuses on the improbable hero, Lockley Puffin, and his adventure that comes full circle. Neversink is an island populated by auks, a family
of fish-eating birds that includes puffins, razorbills, murres, and guillemots,
lying off the coast of the mainland, Tytonia, where the owls rule the roost,
says one literary critic.
When fear arises that the small animals, which the owls consider food, are
infected with sickness, one ambitious owl takes it as an opportunity to oust
the current owl king, placing the auks of Neversink back under the owls’
“thumb.”
Rozbell, the new owl ruler with a Napoleon complex, enacts a fish tax,
indulging in the scrumptious delights that are Lucy Puffin’s fish smidgens. It
would appear, however, that Rozbell’s appetite cannot be satisfied, and soon
the demands upon the auks rise.
“Lockley Puffin refuses to let such a burden fall upon his people, particularly upon his wife Lucy,” says a New York librarian. “But with a population of
birds who have many mottos about not making waves, how will a squidgy
puffin, a scholarly walrus, and an excitable hummingbird save the day?”
Copies of Wolverton’s book are available locally at Booksellers of
Laurelwood. To learn more information about the author visit

paperwork to get them started. Hammett is often
complimented by sponsors for her speed and
accuracy. According to Koros, she often turns
around the necessary paperwork, called regulatory
packets, in two to three days with no mistakes.
Each new study is led by a physician, designated
the principal investigator, who has an overall
responsibility for the conduct of the research at
NEA Baptist. Operational tasks are assigned to
one of seven study coordinators who takes the lead
role and focuses on enrolling research subjects
and following them through the various phases of
their research experience. Study assistant
Meshayla Payne supports the work of each study
team. Throughout the life of the study, it often
happens that several physician-investigators, two
or three study coordinators and the administrative
support staff contribute to the study's success.
All this might seem like a lot of research activity
for a small place, but there’s actually quite a bit
more going on at Jonesboro. For several years,
NEA Baptist Clinic oncologists have maintained a
very active cancer research program, which
recently became part of the new Baptist Cancer
Center. More on that in a future column.
Service Dogs
Continued from page 1
Rountree’s
most recent dog will be sent to a
gentleman in a wheelchair who does
family and marriage counseling in a
mental health facility. The dog will
be dual certified; he will be the
counselor’s service dog as well as a
therapy dog for patients. In addition
to the 67 commands, Rountree
trains the dog to open doors for
wheelchair access.
“I’ve always been around disabled
people, so it was easy and obvious
for me to go this route. When I first
took on a dog, I thought this may be
fun. Now I realize this is one of the
few things in my life that I get a lot of
return,” she said.
In 2010, Rountree received an
email about a diabetic child who
died in her sleep. The child was on
the waiting list for a service dog and
had she received the dog, it likely
would have alerted her parents that
something was wrong, and her death
could have been prevented.
She knew she wanted to help so
she contacted the Canine Assistance,
Rehabilitation, Education and
Services Foundation. A little more
than a week later, Rountree was
training her first dog.
The dogs she receives have first
been trained at prisons in Kansas,
where the organization is based.
Prisoners who have been on good
behavior for a year are able to apply
to train a dog.
“They receive a puppy at about
eight weeks of age, and the dog goes
everywhere with the prisoner, from
the mess hall to the showers,” said
Rountree. “They spend seven days a
week with them, 24 hours a day. I
always joke that my dogs have all
done hard time,” she said, chuckling. “I deinstitutionalize them, and
I help them with the 67 commands
as well as place them in social
settings. We just remind them of the
behaviors they have already
learned.”
The CARES Foundation is a
nonprofit organization established
in 1994. It has placed more than
1,000 service dogs, professional
therapy dogs and pet visitation dogs
to needy persons in 40 states and
five countries.

“I was amazed at how wonderful

That’s the atmosphere Baptist DeSoto employees wanted to create when
designing the newly renovated rooms, nursery, hallways and waiting areas as
part of the $380,000 renovation.
“Delivering a baby is a joyous occasion,” said Alix Banker, director of
nursing for the Baptist DeSoto Women’s Pavilion. “We wanted to renovate
our hospital wing to give new moms and families a serene environment when
bringing a child into the world. From hardwood floors throughout the wing
to paintings in the entrance, it was our goal to make our Women’s Pavilion a
warm environment.”
For Freeman, this was her first Mother’s Day, and she spent it packing up
to take her baby girl, Kennedy, home.
