Concussion signs If you suspect a concussion, see a health care provider. Anderson said the signs and symptoms often fall into these categories: ● Physical — such as headache, blurry vision, nausea, poor balance and light and noise sensitivity. ● Cognitive — such as feeling foggy or slowed down and having trouble concentrating or remembering. ● Emotional — such as irritability, anxiety or having personality changes. ● Sleep or energy-related — such as fatigue, drowsiness and sleeping too much or too little. scan Specialized care for concussions Count on Columbus You can be confident in our expert care for concussions. Visit columbusconcussionmanagement.org to meet the team of specialists. Whether a concussion occurs while playing sports or as a result of a car accident or fall, one thing’s for sure: Having access to specialized concussion care is crucial for healing and resuming a normal routine. That expert care is available to children and adults at the Concussion Management Clinic. Kids and concussions “A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that affects, at the cellular level, how the brain works,” noted pediatrician Deborah Anderson, MD, who specializes in treating children and teens with concussions. Anderson works with a team that may include parents, teachers, coaches and athletic trainers. She provides education and recommendations to help a child heal and manage their concussion symptoms, while also sharing advice on safely returning to school and sports. At school, kids may require accommodations such as extra time for tests. At home, they’ll need to avoid physically or mentally strenuous activities that make concussion symptoms worse. Most children recover within two to four weeks. Anderson is there to guide them through their recovery and to reassure patients and parents that “children with concussions do get better.” Adults and concussions Vilma Rodriguez-Cline, MD, helps adults manage and monitor symptoms of concussions so they can get back to driving, working and other daily activities. Medications may help with some concussion side effects, such as sleep problems or headaches. In addition, some concussion patients may benefit from a referral to physical or occupational therapy. Like kids, adults recovering from a concussion should briefly reduce their mental and physical activities, then gradually resume their normal routines. “You have to give yourself the grace to rest, hydrate and eat healthy,” Rodriguez-Cline said.

columbushosp.org 5 When it comes to your health and well-being, few aspects of your life matter more than your vision. So, if you have an eye condition, local access to an expert ophthalmologist who can help you manage your eye health is crucial. In Columbus, we are fortunate to have Luke Tomczak, MD, as the newest ophthalmologist to serve our community. Employed by Eye Physicians, PC, Tomczak performs ophthalmology procedures at Columbus Surgery Center, which has been a Columbus Community Hospital facility since 2021. Expert care for vision challenges A variety of conditions can affect the eyes. Here are some of the more common ones Tomczak evaluates and treats: Cataracts. Your chances of developing cataracts — a clouding of the eye’s normally clear lens — increase with age. A cataract causes objects and people to look fuzzy and dim — like the view through a dirty car windshield. Fortunately, there’s a solution. During cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial one. Replacement lenses offer different focusing options. For instance, a monofocal lens can be set for clear distance vision, and you use glasses for reading or close-up tasks. Or it can be adjusted for near vision, and you use glasses for seeing distant objects. Another option, a multifocal lens, allows you to see well at both distances. Glaucoma. This condition damages the optic nerve at the back of the eye, causing gradual vision loss that typically starts with difficulty seeing things off to the side. Glaucoma is a lifelong disease, but treatment that lowers eye pressure can help stop it from getting worse. eye care expert Meet ophthalmologist Luke Tomczak, MD in town NEW “You want to control the pressure; keep it low enough to prevent further progression,” Tomczak explained. Treatment options may include medications or a laser treatment called selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT). But if that’s not enough to control the glaucoma, surgery may be the next step. Tomczak performs minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) at Columbus Surgery Center and laser treatments at Eye Physicians, PC. We take pride in listening to our patients and setting a personalized treatment plan.” — Luke Tomczak, MD (continued on page 6) Ophthalmologist Luke Tomczak, MD, performs an eye exam on a patient.
6 Bringing health care news to your home Saggy eyelids. With increasing age, many people develop loose eyelid tissue that disrupts their vision. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is a procedure that corrects this issue. “If the upper eyelids are drooping down and you can’t see anymore, we can remove that excess skin and the pooching fat pad from the upper lid, and help lift those eyelids up so you can see better,” Tomczak said. In addition to cataract, glaucoma and eyelid surgeries, other eye procedures Tomczak performs include: ● YAG capsulotomy, which treats secondary cataracts after cataract surgery. ● Treatment for lesions on or around the eye. ● Injections for macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease. Personalized care Tomczak said his approach to patient care is personalized and involves a lot of listening. That helps him tailor treatment to the individual needs and goals for each patient. For instance, when working with cataract surgery patients, Tomczak considers their hobbies and daily activities to offer them a lens solution that fits their lifestyle. “I listen to my patients and get a feel for what their goals are,” he said. “We take pride in listening to our patients and setting a personalized treatment plan.” A sports enthusiast Originally from Michigan, Tomczak is excited to be living in Columbus.

I’ve heard a lot of good things, and I’m just excited to be a part of the community and help everyone out as best I can.” Outside of work, Tomczak’s interests include watching college football, bass fishing, snowboarding and playing golf.

columbushosp.org 7 Chronic wounds are often more than just painful. For some people, they can limit social interactions because of embarrassment or interfere with their daily activities. In short, they can cause many people to miss out on life. “A wound can make it hard to stand and make a meal, or even to sit and watch a movie,” said Jeremy Albin, MD, a general surgeon and certified wound specialist. If you have a problem wound, there’s good news: Thanks to Columbus Community Hospital’s Wound Ostomy Clinic (W.O.C.), advanced treatment options are within reach — and you don’t have to travel far to find them. Why a wound clinic? The W.O.C. team has the expertise to treat many types of wounds, including diabetes-related wounds, pressure sores and wounds caused by leg vein or circulation disorders. These stubborn injuries often need extra support to fully heal, and the clinic’s highly trained physicians, nurses and physician assistants work together to provide advanced treatments based on each patient’s unique needs. These may include surgical debridement, advanced dressing skin substitutes, special contact casts, wound vac therapy, Advanced healing close to home compression therapy and thermal imaging to identify underlying infections. Whole-person healing The wound care team addresses not just the wound itself, but also the conditions that contribute to it, such as poor circulation, diabetes or nutritional deficiencies. Patient education is a key part of complete healing. The team works closely with dietitians, diabetes educators, rehabilitative therapy experts, social services specialists and others to care for patients. Team members help them manage every aspect of their condition, including mobility, nutrition and access to support services. “We develop the best care plan for each patient so they have all the tools they need and the best opportunity to heal,” said Danelle Kratochvil, RN, BSN, CWON, a certified wound and ostomy nurse. Albin highlights the wound care clinic as a point of pride for the community. A dedicated team delivers exceptional care that “puts life back into their years.” “Successful wound care gives people an ability to enjoy the things in their lives that they find value in,” Albin said.

8 Bringing health care news to your home You might want to see a gastroenterologist, often called a “GI doctor,” for various digestive health concerns. Maybe you’re dealing with heartburn, abdominal aches and bloating, or chronic diarrhea or constipation — the list goes on. Fortunately, gastroenterologists Tyler McVay, MD, and Patrice Michaletz-Onody, MD, with Columbus General Surgery, provide this specialized care for our community. That’s crucial, because unmanaged health issues significantly limit many people’s day-to-day lives. Columbus gains a second gastroenterologist Find relief from digestive health issues “People can become very socially limited because of their GI symptoms,” said McVay. When you need a local gastroenterologist by your side McVay and Michaletz-Onody are here to address a full spectrum of digestive health concerns — ensuring that expert care is never far away. Acid reflux (heartburn); swallowing problems; peptic ulcers; irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis; and celiac Tyler McVay, MD, treats patients with many different types of gastrointestinal issues.
columbushosp.org 9 Meet ‘Dr. M-O’ Patrice Michaletz-Onody, MD, or “Dr. M-O,” as many of her patients call her, has practiced gastroenterology for 37 years. She began offering care here in August 2025 alongside Tyler McVay, MD, a longtime specialty care provider in Columbus. “I loved science from a young age,” Dr. M-O said. “I was the kid who was fascinated by unusual bugs. In college, I majored in animal biology and thought about becoming a microbiologist or a nurse.” An advisor encouraged her to become a doctor, so she earned a medical degree from the University of Nebraska Omaha. She then completed an internal medicine residency, followed by a gastroenterology fellowship, at Baylor University in Texas, where she also taught medicine. If you need gastroenterology help, Drs. M-O and McVay and their Columbus team can help you find a solution. disease are just some of the conditions they evaluate and treat. They also specialize in managing certain liver and pancreas conditions. And whether it’s an upper endoscopy, swallowing study or colonoscopy, McVay and Michaletz-Onody can help when you need a diagnostic procedure to investigate your symptoms. But don’t wait until you have symptoms to have a screening colonoscopy (also performed by general surgeons in Columbus). If you’re at least age 45 — or younger, if you’re at high risk because of your family history or other factors — regular screening colonoscopies could save your life. “There aren’t many cancers that are truly preventable, but colon cancer is certainly one of them,” McVay said. “By getting a screening colonoscopy done in time, we can find precancerous polyps and very safely remove them right then and there, which effectively prevents colon cancer from starting.” Gaining control of your gut health It can be challenging to manage a gastrointestinal condition, but it doesn’t have to rule your life. In many cases, medications can offer relief, and lifestyle adjustments also help — such as with celiac disease. “That’s when the more gluten or wheat a patient eats, the more inflamed their gut gets,” Michaletz-Onody said. “The treatment is purely dietary. And there are other disorders where dietary management can certainly help.” If you have a condition that requires surgery, the gastroenterologists can refer you to a general surgeon at Columbus General Surgery. McVay and Michaletz-Onody are here to address a full spectrum of digestive health concerns — ensuring that expert care is never far away.

10 Bringing health care news to your home If you have an illness or an injury that’s affecting your hand, wrist or elbow, life as you know it can suddenly change. Everything from your hobbies to your daily activities and job becomes difficult because of stiffness or pain. If that sounds familiar, know this: Hand and upper extremity conditions are treatable, and specialized care is available at Columbus Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Clinic. Many conditions treated Board-certified orthopedic surgeons Kerri A. Kulovitz, DO, and Matthew R. Delarosa, MD, are the two doctors at Columbus Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Clinic who specialize in treating hand, wrist and elbow conditions, such as: HELP for aching hands, wrists and elbows Expert care is near at hand ● Arthritis. ● Carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndromes. ● Fractures. ● Sports and other overuse injuries. ● Tendon or ligament injuries. ● Trigger finger. “The majority of patients come in with some degree of pain, whether it be elbow pain when they grip objects or achiness of their hands when they wake up, or maybe they used to sew and now they can’t because they aren’t able to grasp a needle,” explained Delarosa. “Pain is a common component, and also numbness and tingling or decreased sensation — loss of function.”
columbushosp.org 11 Local expertise for every orthopedic need Columbus Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Clinic offers comprehensive care for all musculoskeletal conditions. Visit columbusorthopedics.com. scan Treatments Many treatments begin with conservative, nonsurgical approaches. While details depend on each individual’s condition, those approaches might include immobilizing the hand with a custom-made splint, working with an occupational therapist, or having injections of anti-inflammatory medications or platelet-rich plasma (PRP). “We work very closely with occupational therapists, who can make custom splints for people or help to recover strength and range of motion,” said Kulovitz. “We are a team, and we approach each patient’s case in a unique and individualized way.” But if such strategies aren’t enough to ease your pain and restore your function, you and your doctor may discuss surgery. Kulovitz and Delarosa perform the full gamut of hand and upper extremity surgeries, including minimally invasive procedures that allow you to recover faster and get on with your life. One example is a carpal tunnel release procedure performed through an endoscope (lighted camera) instead of with larger, traditional incisions. “It allows people to get back to their work, hobbies, and normal activities much sooner,” Kulovitz said. Elbow and wrist “scopes,” as well as joint replacements, are some of the other surgeries available at the Columbus clinic. “There are tiny implants that we can utilize to either replace or reconstruct a joint when it comes to the elbow, wrist or hand,” Kulovitz said. Highly skilled team For Kulovitz, the ability to provide immediate and significant improvements in patients’ lives is part of what inspired her to complete a hand and microvascular surgery fellowship after earning her doctor of osteopathy degree. “I love being able to help people and see that immediate change,” she said. “It’s the best feeling when you can see someone reach their ultimate goal — whether that be to return to work, eat a meal, hold their child, or get back on the playing field.” Delarosa completed a hand and wrist surgery fellowship following his medical school training and residency. Hands and arms are crucial for interacting with the world, and restoring patients’ function gives them back their freedom, he noted. “People may not recognize how much they would actually benefit from treatment until they’ve undergone it,” Delarosa said. “They don’t realize how much they’ve lost until it’s fixed.” < Dr. Kulovitz, left, and Dr. Delarosa, right, help patients with hand, wrist and elbow conditions find relief.
12 Bringing health care news to your home Children need high-quality dental care not only for their teeth, but also for their overall wellbeing. Dental cavities or tooth decay is the most common chronic disease in children, noted Kaitlynn Harvey, DDS, of Columbus Pediatric Dentistry. Over time, untreated dental disease can lead to pain; difficulty eating, sleeping or concentrating in school; infections; tooth loss; or even systemic health problems. For children who need extensive dental work that requires multiple visits, Harvey now offers oral rehabilitation — a surgical solution at Columbus Community Hospital. This comprehensive procedure allows her to perform all the dental care a child needs in a single visit. “By addressing all their dental issues in one visit, we can relieve pain, stop infections and restore function — helping them return to a healthy routine,” Harvey said. “This also gives us a clean slate to help the family build healthier habits moving forward, reducing the chance of future problems.” Who might be a candidate? Typical candidates for oral rehabilitation are children ages 6 years and younger with extensive dental needs. They may have significant tooth decay, dental infections or multiple cavities that would require several appointments — which can be tough for kids to tolerate in a traditional office setting. Smiles Restoring healthy Oral rehab restores kids’ dental health in a single visit Kaitlynn Harvey, DDS, center, enjoys providing dental health education for children.
columbushosp.org 13 That’s where dental surgery comes in. Kids can have a better experience when they undergo dental treatment under general anesthesia. And since they need just one visit, parents don’t have to take as much time off from work. The procedure can also help kids with special health care needs, severe dental anxiety or behavioral challenges. What to expect A child’s primary care doctor will need to complete a presurgical evaluation 30 days before the surgery date to ensure they are healthy enough to undergo general anesthesia. Depending on their health history, some children may need an additional evaluation from other specialists. During the surgery, the child receives anesthesia from an anesthesia team, and Harvey completes the dental work in a sterile, controlled environment. “Safety is our top priority,” she noted. “We follow hospital protocols, and the anesthesia team monitors the child’s vital signs closely throughout the procedure.” Harvey typically performs X-rays to confirm her treatment plan, then completes a dental cleaning and other work as needed, such as fillings, crowns or extractions. When she needs to remove baby teeth, she typically uses spacers to maintain that space until the permanent teeth erupt. “I’m usually doing four separate dental appointments in one session,” Harvey said. “It’s full-mouth rehabilitation.” The procedure lasts about 90 minutes depending on the needs of the child. Kids can return home once the anesthesia wears off, and recovery is generally quick. “They usually only need one to two days off of school,” Harvey said. Expert pediatric dentist dedicated to children’s care Harvey is highly qualified to perform dental surgery at CCH. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Nebraska Medical Center. She then completed a two-year residency in pediatric dentistry at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, both in Iowa City. “I’m excited to offer this specialized care in Columbus, because I know a lot of families were having to travel outside of our area for this,” she said.

14 Bringing health care news to your home COLUMBUS SPORTS PERFORMANCE CENTER New director brings passion and vision to the program Chris Holt, MS, CSCS, has always been guided by a curious mind and a passion for sports and fitness. “I love learning,” he said. “I like to know why things happen — especially from a scientific standpoint.” Holt’s love of sports and knowledge of exercise science, combined with his desire to help others achieve their goals, eventually led him to a career as a strength and conditioning coach. He became Columbus Sports Performance Center’s director in July 2025. The center, located in the Columbus Fieldhouse, offers group and one-on-one training to prepare youth athletes off-season or in their sports season. It also now offers fullbody fitness and strength building programs designed for adults. Expertise and innovation Holt has more than 15 years of coaching experience in various health and performance settings, a bachelor’s degree in exercise science, a Master of Science in exercise physiology and human performance, and several professional certifications. Before being named director of Columbus Sports Performance Center, Holt served as one of its strength and conditioning coaches. Prior to that, he was the fitness and wellness coordinator for the city parks and recreation department in Arlington, Texas. ‘Movement is medicine’ Holt is committed to improving community health, whether it involves getting kids to move or helping adults rediscover the joys of active living. “Movement is medicine,” he said. He is working to grow the sports performance program so it can make a greater community impact, and he plans to work with other hospital departments to expand the center’s services. He also wants to explore community outreach, special events and a scholarship fund for underserved youth. Holt’s goals include: ● Expanding services to older adults. ● Launching a return-to-play program for post-rehab athletes. ● Offering pickleball fitness classes. ● Supporting educators and hospital employees. He said he is excited to support an ambitious team of coaches at the center. Together, they’re bringing fresh perspectives to help the program.

Ruskamp finds fulfillment in forging strong connections with her patients and helping them reclaim some of life’s important moments — whether that’s saying “I love you” to a spouse once again or being able to swallow well enough to enjoy their favorite foods. And while you probably know that speech therapy helps people overcome communication difficulties, it might surprise you to learn all the other ways it helps people get their lives back on track. How speech therapy helps Speech therapists at CCH work with people to address communication challenges resulting from many different conditions, including strokes; head and neck cancers; progressive neurological diseases, like Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis and Huntington’s disease; vocal cord dysfunction; and concussions and traumatic brain injuries. For example, a stroke survivor might have aphasia — a condition that diminishes their ability to communicate. A person with neck cancer could have trouble swallowing. Someone with Parkinson’s disease may develop a soft, quiet voice, making it a challenge to be heard and understood. A family might need help communicating with a loved one who has dementia. In these and many other situations, speech therapists work one-on-one with people to help them improve their communication and swallowing abilities, as well as their cognitive communication skills. Speech therapists teach their patients to: ● Perform special exercises that target muscles used for swallowing or in vocalizing. ● Use alternative forms of communication besides talking, from simple strategies to high-tech speech generation devices. ● Implement strategies to improve attention or memory. ● Improve the strength of their voice. Speech therapy helps restore a better quality of life. It also helps prevent social isolation, which could happen when people can’t communicate well. “You don’t need to go outside of the community to receive the care you need,” Ruskamp noted. “We have highly qualified therapists right here.” Care for all ages For adult speech therapy at Rehab Services at the Wellness Center, call 402-562-3333. For pediatric speech services, you can make an appointment by calling Wiggles & Giggles Therapy for Kids at 402-562-3341.

Meals on Wheels is here for you While it helps many seniors age in place, the Meals on Wheels program at Columbus Community Hospital is not limited by age. It’s for anyone who is unable to leave home or prepare meals because of illness, recovery or disability. Anne Hellbusch, an assistant in volunteer and guest services, said someone recovering from a hip replacement or going through chemotherapy might have difficulty getting groceries or cooking for themselves. “Meals on Wheels can facilitate healing and nutrition during those times,” she said. For the current price of $6.44 per meal, eligible people receive a ready-to-eat meal prepared by CCH’s nutrition services department and delivered by community volunteers. A typical meal includes meat and potatoes or a casserole, a vegetable, salad, dessert, bread and milk. Menus change monthly, and alternate meals are available. Dietary needs are accommodated when possible. CCH bills meal recipients monthly, and financial aid is available.
