Local health care facilities care for Muskogee

Story by Wendy Burton

New programs to combat opioid dependence, expanded services and new brick-and-mortar clinics are among the many examples of recent progress among Muskogee's largest health care providers.

Muskogee is home to three major medical centers: the Jack C. Montgomery VA Medical Center, Cherokee Nation's Three Rivers Health Center and Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee.

Jack c. MontgoMery Va Medical center

The Jack C. Montgomery VA Medical Center is a 91-bed hospital whose sole mission is to provide health care for veterans. The hospital, located "on the hill" above Honor Heights Park in Muskogee, is part of the Eastern Oklahoma VA Health Care System.

The EOVAHCS also includes four outpatient clinics in Tulsa, Vinita, McAlester and Idabel. Recently, it became the first to perform the Ellipsys Vascular surgical procedure for patients requiring hemodialy-

sis, a treatment for kidney failure, said Nita McClellan, public affairs officer at Jack C. Montgomery.

"This new method makes the vein more easily accessible for the insertion of the needles required for the treatment," she

said. "The hospital was also the first medical facility in Oklahoma and across VA to use the new GloShield surgical device, which shields fiber-optic cables from high-intensity light and reduces the risk of burns and fires in the operating room."

The Jack C. Montgomery VA Medical

Center and the outpatient clinics employ more than 1,400 people and serve approximately 40,000 enrolled veterans, McClellan said. And it's growing. In 2018, there were 473,176 outpatient visits, which was a 17.6 percent increase since 2016.

"Future plans include constructing a

new 140,000-square-foot outpatient clinic in Tulsa to replace the current one," she said. "The new clinic will include additional services such as mammography and infusion. A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled in April, and construction is expected to be complete in the summer of 2021."

three riVerS health center

Three Rivers Health Center is the result of a Joint Venture Construction Program the Cherokee Nation entered into with Indian Health Service to construct a facility large enough to service its population.

At 100,000 square feet, the clinic is the largest in the Cherokee Nation system and provides a wide scope of medical services, including pediatrics, podiatry, dental, optometry, physical therapy, laboratory services, radiology and specialty clinics for diabetic and dermatology care.

The clinic has recently made strides in decreasing opioid dependence in two ways, said Dr. James Baker, medical director.

The first — moving physical therapy

into the primary care department — is meant to make it easier to integrate the services in an effort to reduce opioid use, decrease imaging and try to help patients relieve pain much earlier on as opposed to waiting to get into physical therapy, he said.

"When patients came in the door in the old days, they were told they needed x-rays, a narcotic was prescribed and then they would get them into physical therapy," Baker said. "Now, instead, they say 'let's not x-ray you right now. Let's send you over to physical therapy to assess you,' and they prescribe exercise. And the patient continues therapy at home."

The second is a grant-funded program

that will allow the Three Rivers Health Center to offer medication-assisted treatment for people with Opioid Use Disorder and people in pain management, Baker said.

"We'll take referrals from our providers and direct them to this program, which will place them on appropriate medications, monitor them for problems, and hopefully get them off these medications so they will not be at risk for overdose," he said. "Behavioral health will be a strong, strong component."

The program uses Suboxone, a medicine that contains the active ingredients buprenorphine and naloxone and is used to

treat adults who are dependent on opioids.

As part of the grant funding, the Three Rivers Health Center will also be training at

least 10 other providers in the area on how to use medication-assisted treatment with Suboxone.

The program is under development, and the clinic hopes to have it up and running by late spring, early summer, Baker said.

Saint FranciS hoSpital MuSkogee

Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee has seen several changes since it acquired the hospital from Capella in April 2017.

In August 2017, the hospital opened a new cardiac rehabilitation center "enabling patients needing cardiac rehabilitation to stay in the community and not have to drive to Tulsa three to five times per week for therapy," said Sevan Roberts, hospital spokeswoman.

The hospital also contributed $500,000 to the Connors State College nursing program the same month, and shortly thereafter completed a $2 million renovation to the behavioral health unit, she said.

In addition, the hospital installed 3-D mammography, advanced breast ultrasound and upright stereotactic biopsy capabilities.

"These additions give Saint Francis

Hospital Muskogee the most advanced and comprehensive breast health program in the area," Roberts said.

There was a $755,000-plus renovation of the women's services unit on the main campus, and the hospital implemented the first robotic surgery program outside of Tulsa and Oklahoma City, she said, "which enables our physicians to provide the latest technology to Muskogee."

1. Brush teeth twice a day

Brushing helps removes plaque and bacteria. Jones says an electric rotary toothbrush is nearly 300 times more effective than a plain brush.

2. drop soft drinks

Avoid sugar and carbonated beverages.

4. rinse with water amid meals, drinks

"You're trying to get rid of what's going to stick."

3. get regular checkups

how often "depends on what types of problems you have. Many of my patients i see every three months."

5. Floss once everyday "get between the teeth."

Alocal employer of adults with disabilities has incorporated growing vegetables into their program. A local manufacturer provides fresh fruit and vegetables in their employee break room, and a local school used grants to build a walking track for students and employees to spend time exercising each day.

These are but a few of the more than 145 area businesses, churches, day care centers, restaurants and communities who have received a Certified Healthy designation from the Certified Healthy Oklahoma program.

This program encourages communities to invest in improving opportunities for residents to

make healthier life choices — for which Muskogee County ranks among the lowest in the state.

For example, the 2018 County Health Rankings report, released by the State Department of Health, shows Muskogee County is in dire need of improvement. The county ranks 69th in length of life, 56th in quality of life, 75th in health behaviors such as smoking and obesity, and 67th for social and economic factors such as poverty and education.

The Muskogee Wellness Initiative has been working in partnership with the Muskogee County Health Department to improve those numbers. Part of their efforts began in 2008 when the organization began encouraging local businesses

Many of Muskogee's designees have made positive changes Muskogee Wellness Initiative hopes spreads the message of making healthy life choices.

At Dal-Tile, employees can enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables provided in their break room. They also have an

on-site medical clinic with a nurse, and a doctor they can telecommute with when needed.

At Golden Rule Industries, adults with disabilities are growing vegetables in an indoor garden and learning about healthy food choices.

to participate in the Certified Healthy Oklahoma program.

The first year had a handful of participants. This past year there were 152 applicants, and 148 who received the designation for their efforts.

"We take pride in being the top county

in our state," said Dr. James Baker, chairperson for the Muskogee Wellness Initiative and the medical director of Cherokee Nation's Three Rivers Health Center.

Baker said the organizations and businesses who have received designations run the gamut from day cares to manufactur-

ers, schools to businesses, and even the City of Muskogee as a community.

"The key thing to be recognized is you have to be tobacco free. In addition to that, they look at the policies in place, such as if the business have a program to help their employees stay healthy. Do they have

Muskogee's Farmers' Market allows the use of EBT cards, making it easier for low-income residents to have access to healthy, fresh foods.

Harmony House restaurant has been recognized for the healthy choices on its menu, and 12 towns from Porum to Wainwright and the City of Muskogee have been recognized.

Sadler Arts Academy is one of many Muskogee schools who have received recognition, in particular for their walking track used by students and teachers alike.

Some of the changes the City of Muskogee has made that have been recognized include making all parks tobacco-free, ordinances to prevent youth tobacco use, bicycle and walking trails and many partnerships with organizations in promoting healthy activities, such as community gardens, the farmers' market, and the teen summer fitness/ swim camp.

"Certified Healthy Oklahoma encourages each sector, businesses, campuses, congregations, communities, early childhood programs, restaurants and schools to participate," she said. "They're encouraged to promote healthy habits where people work, where they take their kids, where they eat, and that's the goal — to increase the health and wellness of all Muskogee County residents."

Most people do not think twice about keeping themselves hydrated during the hot summer months. However, keeping your body hydrated is important all year long, even in the winter.

Janice Hermann, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension nutrition specialist, said staying hydrated is important all year long.

“Hydration is a key factor in overall health,” Hermann said. “The body needs water for almost all its functions including digestion, circulation, excretion, absorbing and transporting nutrients, building tissues, maintaining blood volume and maintaining body temperature. The body also loses between one and a half to three quarts of water daily through perspiration, breathing, urination and bowel movements.”

it is just as important to stay hydrated in the winter as it is in the summer.

To maintain your body’s water balance, you must replace the water lost each day. Dehydration occurs when the amount of water lost from the body is greater than the amount being taken in. A body can become dehydrated even in the winter.

"Even then, milk and 100 percent juice should be consumed within recommended amounts and calorie limits."

percent juice, should be the main beverages consumed.

Although thirst is frequently the first sign of dehydration, other symptoms can include dry mouth, headache, weakness, dizziness, confusion, sluggishness, fainting and muscle cramps.

The body’s water comes from three sources. First, the body generates some water. The rest of a body’s water comes from food and beverages. Beverages are a major source of water, as well as nutrients

and calories. In fact, beverages account for about 20 percent of a person’s total daily caloric intake.

Calories and nutrients are important to consider when choosing beverages. Calorie-free beverages, particularly water, or beverages that provide important nutrients, such as low-fat milk and 100

“Even then, milk and 100 percent juice should be consumed within recommended amounts and calorie limits,” she said. “Beverages with added sugars can provide a lot of extra calories without key nutrients.”

Even caffeinated drinks such as tea, coffee and hot cocoa provide water; however, caffeine intake should be limited to 300 milligrams or less per day.

“Although you may not feel like you need to consume as much water in the winter as you do during the summer, it’s important for your health to stay hydrated all year-round,” Hermann said.

cure

he Roman senator Cato thoroughly explored the health benefits of cabbage in the 2nd century B.C.E. in his work De Agricultura (156, 157).

Speaking of its healing properties, Cato said, “If you eat it chopped, washed, dried, and seasoned with salt and vinegar, nothing will be more wholesome. That you may eat it with better appetite, sprinkle it with grape vinegar, and you will like (it) a little better when washed, dried, and seasoned with rue, chopped coriander and salt. This will benefit you, allow no ill to remain in the body, and promote digestion; and will heal any ill that may be inside.”

Today we know that the varieties of Brassicacea, the Latin name for the family of cruciferous vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts or cauliflower, cabbage or mustard, really do have healthful properties. While we would not attempt some of the ancient cures, such as snorting ground cabbage to remedy a nasal polyp, we can take advantage of these winter vegetables that are chock full of antioxidants and are a good source of fiber, calcium, magnesium and potassium.

According to Chef Neda Hilliard, culinary instructor for Muskogee Public Schools, these nutrients have many beneficial effects in the body, including antibacterial, antifungal, neuroprotective, hypoglycemic, and

lipid-lowering effects. “This produces some amazing results, including assisting in fighting cancer and heart disease,” says Hilliard. They also have strong anti-inflammatory properties, supporting Cato’s statement, “But as to disease of the joints, nothing so purges it as raw

cabbage, if you eat it chopped, and rue, chopped dry coriander, grated asafetida, and cabbage out of vinegar and honey, and sprinkled with salt.”

Hilliard says researchers recommend eating at least five servings of brassicas per week. Darker and more colorful

vegetables such as kale, collards, broccoli florets, red cabbage and Bok Choi leaves contain the highest antioxidant levels, but all brassicas are great sources of nutrition.

While we may balk at the Roman recipes, modern cooking techniques can make the somewhat bitter brassicas more appetizing. In winter, we crave hearty soups and roasted vegetables that seem more filling and substantial. Here are a couple of recipes that will help you get all the health benefits of these winter vegetables and make the cabbage cure more palatable.

Sarah’s Portuguese Soup

Yield: 4 – 6 servings 1 package polish sausage

(kielbasa), sliced and diced 1/2 head of cabbage, shredded

4 red potatoes, peeled and chopped

2 medium onions, browned 5 beef bouillon cubes

1/2 cup catsup

1 can red kidney beans

1 tablespoon Worcestershire

1 teaspoon tabasco

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt to taste

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven and brown onions and potatoes. Add cabbage and sauté until wilted. Add kielbasa and sauté a few minutes to bring out the flavor. Fill the pan 3/4 full of water, add bouillon cubes, catsup, beans, Worcestershire and Tabasco. Simmer until potatoes are tender and flavors are mingled, about 30 minutes.

Season with salt to taste. Serve in shallow bowls with hearty bread.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Yield: 4 servings

1 pound Brussels sprouts, washed and trimmed

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

optional: 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Trim tough outside leaves from sprouts and cut off any long stems. Slice larger sprouts in half for more even cooking. Preheat oven to 400°. Toss sprouts with oil, salt and pepper until evenly coated. Pour onto a baking sheet and place in preheated oven. Roast for about 35 to 40 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally and stirring to get even browning. Sprouts should be browned and slightly crispy on the outside, and tender in the center. Tent with foil if sprouts are getting too brown before centers are fully cooked. Remove from pan, and sprinkle with an additional pinch of salt and garlic powder, if desired.

FiveTips:

Eating healthy at restaurants

1. consider drink carefully

Much of the time it involves some kind of soft drink or sugary drink choice with added sugar and calories. try unsweetened tea, diet soda or water.

2. drink water before dining

if you are going out and are concerned about trying to eat less, drink a good glass of water before you go out or at the restaurant. that will help reduce your appetite somewhat and provide some hydration.

3. portion control

Most times, a full dinner menu item is twice the amount of entree you really need in terms of calories. get in the habit of sharing the dinner or planning to take some home and get a to-go container.

4. look menu over carefully

Look for the veggies, the salads, the things that maybe aren't as typical. Like, Mcdonald's is not known for salads, but they have some great ones.

5. consider My plate nutrition guide

i t used to be the food pyramid. try to fill half your plate with fruit and vegetables. that could be the sides, the desserts. Sometimes dessert options have fruit.
