The Importance of “Champions” In A Market

JB Jobs

By Kelly Alvord, Therapy Resource, Sunstone UT

For OT month, we wanted to highlight two of our Market OT champions who not only provide amazing care to the residents at their own facilities, but also help facilitate support for others in our market.

In Sunstone, we host ongoing champion calls to further the development of these programs. This forum is a great place to share best practices, brainstorm to resolve barriers, and to enhance the interventions to improve the lives of our patients.

Gary Pearson, OT, Pointe Meadows, leads our Abilities Care call. Gary is an occupational therapist and leader of the LTC programming and the CQR (long-term case management) process at Pointe Meadows, where he is also the assistant DOR. He has a passion for skilled intervention for patients with dementia, has participated in several dementia courses, and is the TEACHA for the Sunstone Market. He has also brought this skill set to the community, where he has brought the Abilities Care Approach into several local assisted living centers. Gary has had an impact at Pointe Meadows, in the local community and throughout the market.

Ryan Porritt, OT from Orem Rehab, leads our Heart Math Call. When Ryan started working as a new grad, it became apparent that there was a certain patient group he could not reach because of their self-limiting behaviors and the emotional components to healing. Reducing these emotional barriers to function quickly became his passion, which he has pursued over the past four years. Ryan has found HeartMath and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to be effective means of increasing participation in value-based activities by reducing the emotional barriers to function. He is excited to share his passion with anyone who is interested.

Celebrating Independence Day with some therapeutic fun at Meadow View - Also hiring for a SLP, OT and PT positions!

JB Jobs

To celebrate Independence day the therapy team at Meadow View Nursing and Rehabilitation in Nampa, Idaho put together a day fun, celebration and therapy for their residents.  

They had a festival outdoors that included music, snow cones and popcorn and best of all a dunk tank!

The ED, DOR and DON all took turns on the dunk tank seat, as well as some of the therapists and other leaders in the building.   Other therapists worked with the residents to successfully sink the management team!  Therapists and nurses wore red, white and blue to celebrate the holiday.   It was great fun for all!   

“It was a great way to get patients outside and build strength and coordination with a smile after a big year.  It was also a good way to build positive culture amongst all the staff.”, said Physical Therapist Tess Hurley.   “It was a great and productive way to celebrate the patients and staff at Meadowview!”

Great job Meadowview combining culture and celebration and the holiday with your therapeutic interventions!
