Mental health and motherhood Expecting a baby? Pregnancy can come with lots of feelings, and after giving birth, many new moms experience tiredness, worry and sadness — also known as the baby blues. These feelings usually go away on their own. However, for some women, the negative emotions become severe and interfere with daily life. This is known as postpartum depression, and it can happen to anyone. Symptoms include: ● Crying more than usual. ● Extreme sadness or anger. ● Not feeling a connection with your baby. ● Worrying about hurting your baby. ● Having guilt or doubts about not being a good mom. If you are having any of these symptoms, talk to your health care provider. Getting help when you need it is essential to your baby’s well-being. You can also: ● Ask your provider about your risk factors for postpartum depression. ● Call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 833852-6262 (833-TLC-MAMA) for free, 24/7, confidential counselor support. ● Get help now if you are thinking about harming yourself or your baby.

columbushosp.org 3 Sports performance training for the whole family Focused coaching at Columbus Sports Performance Center Whether you’re a parent helping a young athlete reach their full potential or an adult looking to maximize your own athletic performance, a great coach can make a difference. That’s where the strength and conditioning coaches at Columbus Sports Performance Center come in. You’ll find them in the Columbus Fieldhouse. Tailored training for young athletes When it comes to youth training, coaches work with athletes from middle school through college, helping them build strength, power, speed, agility and more. “We guide them through that journey,” said Chris Holt, MS, CSCS, the center’s director. Columbus Sports Performance Center coaches mostly work with groups and have different time slots for younger and older kids. They assess each child’s stage of athletic development, focusing on the key physical milestones their body must achieve to move properly. “We introduce movement patterns like jumping and landing, sprinting properly with good posture, decelerating and changing direction,” Holt said. “The body needs to get stronger for injury reduction and to handle the demands of sport or daily life.” Throughout the program, coaches emphasize safety and collect objective data to measure progress. Parents often notice their kids moving with greater confidence, feeling stronger and staying healthier long-term. Performance training for active adults When Columbus Sports Performance Center opened three years ago, its primary focus was on student athletes. Over time, though, Holt said adults began asking, “What about us?” Families wanted access to the same high-quality coaching. “So we opened up our adult fitness classes,” he said. “They’re about 45-minute sessions, and we focus on the same holistic things — just not as sport-specific. We’re lifting weights. We’re teaching them how to do things appropriately. We talk about recovery, hydration, sleep and nutrition. Essentially, we’re training them like adult athletes.” Expertise grounded in science One aspect that sets the center apart is staff members’ education and expertise in exercise science and kinesiology. They stay current with the latest research and apply evidence-based training to athletes. Because they are part of a hospital system, they also collaborate with sports medicine, orthopedics, physical therapy and athletic training professionals. “That integration allows us to better serve both kids and adults,” Holt said. scan Discover more For information about Columbus Sports Performance Center, call 402-562-4607, email ctholt@columbushosp.org or visit columbushosp.org/services/ columbus-sports-performance-center.

columbushosp.org 5 Columbus Community Hospital is home to talented caregivers and a wide range of services for you and your family, and the maternal child health department is no exception. The unit serves moms and families throughout their maternity journeys, features a special care unit for vulnerable newborns and houses a postoperative care wing to support patients recovering from gynecologic procedures. If you choose to have your baby at CCH, you’ll experience labor, delivery and postpartum care all in the same room. Each private, spacious birthing room features comfortable amenities, such as a refrigerator, a bed for you, a crib or bassinet on wheels for your baby, a pull-out couch for your support person and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. Room in with baby Several years ago, CCH adopted the couplet care model, which means a nurse cares for you and your baby as a pair in the same room throughout the maternity journey. Before couplet care was introduced, moms were cared for by one nurse while the baby moved to the nursery to be cared for by a different nurse. One of the benefits of couplet care is that “it supports early parentbaby bonding,” said Kim Eisenmann, RN, director of maternal child health. It also gives you time to understand your newborn’s feeding cues and other needs, build confidence and ask questions about newborn care. “You can get to know baby’s sleep patterns and whether they’re crying because they’re hungry or because they need to be changed,” Eisenmann said. “It helps you bond with your baby and learn their different cues so you’ll be ready when it’s time to take your baby home.” The department’s goal is that you have the same nurse throughout your stay. “That continuity helps, because the nurse knows your preferences and how delivery went, and they can anticipate your postpartum needs,” Eisenmann said. “It’s also rewarding for nurses to deliver your baby, care for you and then discharge you home.” Caring for Inside the CCH maternal child health department families At the heart of the department is the patient-centered care designed to keep moms, babies and families together.

6 Bringing health care news to your home The obstetrics team includes board-certified lactation consultants in our recently expanded lactation support program. When babies need extra care The maternal child health department features a special care unit for ill and premature infants born as early as 34 weeks. Because CCH can care for babies with special needs right here in Columbus, parents can stay closer to their babies while the little ones transition from hospital to home. “We make sure you can be with your baby as much as possible,” Eisenmann said. During their stay in the unit, babies receive special medical care, including services such as oxygen and nutrition support. The nurses work closely with pediatric hospitalists and other providers to deliver exceptional care to these babies. Nurses and other providers work to ensure that parents feel supported while their babies are in the unit. After a baby is discharged from the unit, the care team provides referrals to other support services as needed. Caring for families (continued from page 5) A welcoming area for patients recovering from surgery The same highly trained team also provides postsurgical care to you if you’ve had a C-section, hysterectomy or another gynecologic procedure. Surgical recovery rooms are sectioned off in a quieter wing to promote comfort during recovery. The close collaboration between nursing staff and physicians at CCH enhances the care experience during your recovery journey. “We work closely with the gynecologic surgeons who perform these procedures,” Eisenmann noted. “We know their preferences and maintain good communication with them.” scan Discover more!

columbushosp.org 7 Helping kids get a great start Healthy Families offers parent support so youngsters can thrive When parents nurture a positive relationship with their child right from the start, it can make a huge difference in the child’s future. “It sets the stage for their whole life,” said Jill Janssen, RN, the program manager for Healthy Families. “Studies show that a positive caretaker from 0 to 3 years of age is huge. People don’t always realize how important those first three years are.” But parenting — especially for the first time — can be overwhelming. There are lots of new skills you need to learn when there’s a young child at home. And many parents may face other challenges in their lives in addition to parenting. All of this is why Healthy Families started more than 20 years ago. The free, voluntary program gives families in Boone, Colfax, Nance and Platte counties the tools and support they need to raise children in a positive and loving home. Meeting families where they are Healthy Families offers in-home visits to support families with children from before birth through age 3. Knowledgeable and caring staff members — like Karla Rosendahl, a home visitor with Healthy Families — are there to help guide new parents on caring for their baby and creating a safe home. The home visits Rosendahl and Janssen offer focus on children’s growth and development, as well as fun activities kids and parents can enjoy together. “For example, a visit could be, ‘Let’s do an activity with your 10-month-old — here’s the activity and its benefits,’” Rosendahl said. Kids also receive developmental assessments so their parents can make sure they’re meeting key milestones. If a child is experiencing a delay, Janssen and Rosendahl can promptly refer them to a pediatric specialist, such as a physical, speech or occupational therapist. Over the years, the program has assisted many families in helping children reach their full potential. Many of those kids are now teenagers or older. Help with parenting struggles Additionally, Healthy Families connects parents to community resources so they can receive help with everything from financial struggles to relationship issues and mental health concerns. “We empower people by showing them what’s available and working on it together,” Janssen said. “They gain confidence.” Start here To learn more about Healthy Families, call 402-562‑4813 or email jcjanssen@columbushosp.org.

8 Bringing health care news to your home Are you planning to start or grow your family at Columbus Community Hospital? If so, you’ll be cared for by an exceptional team that includes dedicated obstetrician-gynecologists (OB-GYNs) and a nursemidwife from Columbus Women’s Healthcare. These providers partner with CCH’s labor and delivery nurses to deliver hundreds of babies here each year, while also providing surgical and postsurgical care at the hospital and comprehensive women’s health services in their outpatient clinic. From prenatal checkups to delivery Comprehensive obstetric care begins in the Columbus Women’s Healthcare office, with prenatal care visits for both uncomplicated and high-risk pregnancies, including multiple births, preeclampsia and diabetes. The team manages all types of deliveries at CCH and often performs any special monitoring required to evaluate pregnancy concerns. The obstetrics team works closely with CCH labor and delivery nurses to make sure moms and babies have a safe, positive birth experience. “It starts with education in the clinic, along with the patients seeing us, getting to know all of us and building rapport,” said Nicholas Wulf, DO. “That transfers through to when they’re admitted to the hospital. And then their labor and delivery nurse provides a lot of support.” The practice’s certified nurse-midwife, Heidi Abbott, often remains present in the room during labor to provide extra-supportive patient care. “When you get to help bring a life into the world and be part of that moment for a family, nothing can beat that,” said Kady Kiichler, MD. Expert OB-GYN care at all life stages From prenatal visits to deliveries and beyond
columbushosp.org 9 Expert surgical and recovery care The OB-GYN physicians also perform gynecologic surgeries at CCH, including procedures that help with ovarian cysts, pelvic pain, endometriosis, uterine polyps and abnormal menstrual bleeding. Procedures range from hysteroscopic endometrial ablations to da Vinci robotic-assisted hysterectomies. The technology enables surgeons to make smaller cuts than in traditional surgery. “Our focus is minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, so we use small incisions or no incisions,” Wulf said. Many surgeries — even some hysterectomies — are performed on an outpatient basis. Patients who stay for recovery receive care both from CCH’s nurses and their OB-GYN physician in the maternal child health unit. In addition to providing postoperative care, the OB-GYNs diagnose and manage the gynecologic conditions of women who come to the emergency room, as well as those who are hospitalized for such issues. Care throughout your life In its outpatient clinic, the OB-GYN team provides complete women’s health care for all stages of life. That includes well-woman exams and management of abnormal periods, fertility issues, gynecologic pain and menopause symptoms. Team members also provide incontinence treatments and perform minor in-office procedures. The group cares deeply for patients while staying current with the newest research and recommendations, noted Kara Weishaar, MD. “We also use shared decision-making with our patients,” she said. “This means that the women we care for can trust us to offer counseling and recommendations on all of the options available, and to support them in making the best treatment choices for their individual situations.” Focused on you and your family In the clinic and at CCH, the OB-GYN team is focused on you and all your gynecologic needs. Wulf, Kiichler, Weishaar and Abbott are joined by nurse practitioners Jennifer Nekl, APRN, and Karla Coria, APRN, who provide care to patients in the clinic and assist with procedures. Together, they take the time to personalize your care. “We really want to get to know you and see what your concerns are — how can we help?” Kiichler said. “We make sure you walk out of our office feeling like we listened.” From the front desk to the care team and everyone in between, patients are at the heart of everything they do. Their top priority is offering the best, evidencebased care possible for the community. “We value our community, and we value being here,” Kiichler said. “It’s a privilege to provide care.” Empowering women at every stage of life Read provider bios for the Columbus Women’s Healthcare team and find appointment information and more at columbuswomenshealthcare.com. scan The Columbus Women’s Healthcare team includes, from left: Jennifer Nekl, APRN; Heidi Abbott, midwife; Kady Kiichler, MD; Nicholas Wulf, DO; Kara Weishaar, MD; and Karla Coria, APRN.
10 Bringing health care news to your home Caring for kids in the hospital (and beyond) Pediatric hospitalists are available around the clock When babies are born at Columbus Community Hospital, expert pediatricians lead the team that cares for them in our maternal child health department and newborn special care unit. Those pediatric hospitalists also provide specialized care to children of all ages who are hospitalized at CCH. Pediatricians are specialized physicians who care for children from birth to 20 years of age. They have three to four years of advanced training to care for your infant, child or teenager. Pediatricians at work Columbus Children’s Healthcare has a staff of four pediatricians with decades of experience. While they spend most of their day in the outpatient clinic, they also provide pediatric care as needed around the clock at CCH. “We are the faces you may see if any of your kids are sick or if you have a baby born at the hospital,” said Margaret Egbarts, MD, FAAP. Their wide-ranging care includes three specific areas: Newborn exams. Pediatric hospitalists are there for a newborn’s first days of life. They see babies daily in the hospital, performing each infant’s first physical exam, which provides many parents with reassurance and confidence. “We evaluate them head to toe,” said David Rohwer, MD, FAAP. Pediatric hospitalists also review and evaluate newborn screenings, including heart, hearing and metabolic tests. And, based on the mom’s medical history, they monitor for any complications or health risk factors that may need early attention. They also offer guidance to new parents on issues such as feeding a baby to help ensure proper growth. “We talk a lot about safe sleep and SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) risk, and how you can participate in lowering that,” said Kimberly Allen, DO, FAAP. “Educating parents is a significant aspect of pediatrics,” added Jon Kroenke, MD, FAAP. “The goal is to help parents feel more comfortable and confident about their children’s health.” Specialized care for fragile newborns. Pediatric hospitalists also lead the team that provides specialized care for premature or ill newborns who need extra monitoring or treatment in the special care unit. They care for infants who may require support for issues such as breathing or feeding difficulties, infections and blood sugar problems. At CCH, parents can see their babies in the unit as much as they want. There are private rooms and no visiting hour limits, which helps families stay connected throughout their baby’s stay.
columbushosp.org 11 Inpatient pediatrics. The team provides routine care for hospitalized children. Team members manage common conditions, such as respiratory infections, dehydration, infant fevers and asthma exacerbations. They also offer consultations to other specialists at CCH and serve as liaisons to pediatric subspecialists at other centers when needed. “There are some situations where children require a higher level of care and need to be transferred to a larger hospital,” Kroenke said. “But we try to do as much care as we can here to keep the children local, as long as it’s safe to do so.” Caring for kids in the clinic In addition to providing infant and inpatient hospital care, the pediatricians with Columbus Children’s Healthcare offer comprehensive primary health care services in their outpatient clinic. Well-child checkups; immunizations; same-day sick visits; and management of chronic conditions, such as asthma and attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), are among the many ways they help support healthy growth and development for kids of all ages. Whether they are providing care in the hospital or in the clinic, they say that being a pediatrician brings rewards. “It’s fun seeing kids grow up,” Kroenke said. “And you get to interact with the families and almost become a little piece of their family. We’re just trying to help them do the best job they can for their children by being a reliable source of information.” The team members say they also enjoy building generational relationships. Dr. Allen has been here for 32 years. She often thinks about how rewarding it is to now be able to care for the children of the children who were born since she started the clinic. “We are the faces you may see if any of your kids are sick or if you have a baby born at the hospital.” — Margaret Egbarts, MD, FAAP Be in the know Learn more about the Columbus Children’s Healthcare team at columbuspediatricclinic.com. scan The Columbus Children’s Healthcare team includes, from left: Margaret Egbarts, MD, FAAP; Jon Kroenke, MD, FAAP; Hannah Wegener, APRN, CPNP-AC; Rachel Magana, PA-C; David Rohwer, MD, FAAP; and Kimberly Allen, DO, FAAP.
12 Bringing health care news to your home Columbus Community Hospital’s Wiggles & Giggles Therapy for Kids™ has served families since 2002. “And my, has it grown!” said Jill Zaruba, OTR/L, clinic supervisor. The pediatric therapy clinic offers a full spectrum of physical, occupational and speech therapy services for kids of all ages. Many children come to the clinic for help meeting developmental milestones — such as walking, talking or eating — and some are recovering from injuries. “As kids progress and meet challenges, it’s a big celebration,” Zaruba said. “Every child is special and has unique goals, but they all work so hard! We ‘The sweetest boy’ Liam, age 3, wants to hang out with his brothers all day long. “He loves giving hugs and kisses,” said his mom, Becky Slater Johnson. “He’s just the sweetest boy.” At 9 months, Liam was diagnosed with infantile spasms, a seizure disorder that can lead to a loss of developmental milestones previously learned. He stopped rolling over and struggled to sit up, babble and grasp objects. Liam is also on the autism spectrum, which adds more challenges for his team to address. “He wasn’t meeting a lot of the milestones of a typical 9-month-old,” Becky said. Liam received early intervention services, followed by therapy at Wiggles & Giggles. Since then, he’s made progress in his milestones, from sitting up to walking to holding a fork. “I think he’s come tremendously far,” Becky said. “It’s been about two years. As far as his gross motor skills go, I feel like he has almost reached his peers in that regard. He’s running, he’s jumping; he’s able to move on his own and do things. There are still struggles for him, but those are things we’re going to continue to work on with his therapist there. And even with fine motor skills, he does really well.” Helping children WIGGLES & GIGGLES THERAPY FOR KIDS™ THRIVE have stars of the month in each discipline, and kids really get excited to see their picture up on the star wall.” The highly trained therapists use medically based therapy prescribed by the child’s physician, often using play to help maximize a child’s potential. “Our sessions look like a lot of fun,” Zaruba said. “We use Austin, a patient at Wiggles & Giggles, works on his fine motor skills, while Chelsey Wurdeman, MS, CCC-SLP, observes.

Sammie, now 12, has been nonverbal and unable to walk since shortly after the accident. But with the help of her Wiggles & Giggles team, she’s learning to communicate using a device that tracks her eye movements. “When they encourage her, she just comes alive,” Alex said. “She lights up.” Sammie’s therapists also helped the family obtain a new wheelchair, patient lift and other equipment to help with home care. Specialized pediatric therapies For a physical, occupational or speech therapy appointment at Wiggles & Giggles, call 402-562-3341. Each week, Alex drives Sammie from David City, Nebraska, to Wiggles & Giggles in Columbus for therapy, where therapists focus on many goals for Sammie. Alex has never lost faith and refuses to limit what might be possible for Sammie in the future. She is focused on giving her daughter the best opportunities — including Wiggles & Giggles. For Alex, it has been encouraging to learn from Sammie’s therapists about what is possible. “It was so eye-opening to hear them tell me, ‘This is what we can do,’” Alex said. play throughout therapy because that’s how kids learn, how they’re motivated to do hard things and develop curiosity about their environment.” Staff members hold numerous certifications and advanced training in specialized pediatric therapies, including Interactive Metronome (IM) for kids who have difficulty with attention and processing information, therapeutic listening, augmentative and alternative communication, vision therapy, sensory processing, primitive reflex integration, and feeding and swallowing.

14 Bringing health care news to your home If you’re going to have surgery, anesthesia is a must. And if you’re having a baby, you might choose to receive anesthesia to lessen the pain of childbirth. Anesthesia care is a crucial service at every health care facility, and Columbus Community Hospital is no exception. Our full-time certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) most often provide care in our operating rooms. But they also offer anesthesia elsewhere as needed, including in the emergency room and in the labor and delivery unit for cesarean sections or labor pain management. Here’s more information about how they work to ensure you have a safe and comfortable experience. Anesthesia tailored to your needs The type of anesthesia you need before a procedure depends on various factors. “We don’t do cookie-cutter anesthesia,” said Jon Brunott, DNAP, CRNA, director of anesthesia at CCH. “We’re going to tailor your anesthesia to give you the best and safest care.” To personalize medical pain management, team members review each patient’s chart and health history ahead of time and use evidence-based research to guide their choices. “We interview the patient — talk with them, give them our plan and answer their questions,” Brunott said. Anesthesia team delivers expert, tailored care Comfortwhen you need it most
columbushosp.org 15 “If they don’t want to do something, we listen. We put them at ease. A lot of patients are more scared of the anesthetic than the surgery. We teach, coach and reassure them that anesthesia is safe.” Many patients worry about post-surgery nausea and vomiting because of past experiences. Nausea can be caused by narcotic medication used in anesthesia. For the last five years, many of the anesthesia providers at CCH have used opioid-free anesthesia — non-narcotic medications that still keep patients comfortable without the nausea. Depending on the patient and procedure, providers may use different types of anesthesia, such as: General. You will be unconscious during the procedure. General anesthesia is performed in an operating room, and you wake up in a recovery room. An anesthesia expert will help you wake up safely and ensure you’re comfortable before you return to a hospital room or your home. Regional. Pain sensations are blocked only in a specific part of the body. This allows an expert to give you less anesthetic during the surgery, so you wake up faster and have better pain control. Spinal. A spinal is a one-shot injection into the back that numbs the legs from about the belly button down. “We use these mainly for total hip or knee replacements and other orthopedic surgeries, as well as cesarean sections,” Brunott said. “We give you MAC anesthesia along with it.” Monitored anesthesia care (MAC). MAC provides deep sedation through the use of intravenous (IV) medications. It allows you to be comfortable and pain-free while still breathing on your own. It’s commonly used for procedures such as colonoscopies and minor surgeries, but it can also be combined with spinal or regional anesthesia. Keeping laboring moms comfortable Anesthesia isn’t used only in surgeries. Epidurals are a key part of the anesthesia team’s work, particularly in obstetrics. It takes about five to seven minutes to perform an epidural, Brunott said, and the pain management technique is available around the clock. For Brunott, it’s one of the most rewarding parts of the job because of the immediate relief epidurals provide and the gratitude of the laboring moms. Highly trained team CRNAs are advanced practice nurses with a strong nursing foundation. They earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing and gain several years of intensive care unit (ICU) experience caring for critically ill patients. They then complete a three-year doctoral degree program in anesthesia, with the same coursework and clinical cases as physician anesthesiologists. After all that, they must pass a national board certification. “We practice to the full extent of our training,” Brunott said. “We’re highly trained, competent and safe.” We don’t do cookie-cutter anesthesia. We’re going to tailor your anesthesia to give you the best and safest care.” — Jon Brunott, DNAP, CRNA, director of anesthesia at CCH The talented staff members of the anesthesia team at CCH work hard to provide quality care and produce good results for patients.
