LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

We may be in the midst of hurricane season here in Hampton Roads, but this

month’s cover story reflects a much different type of storm. Chances are you’ve heard the phrase “silver tsunami.” The baby boom generation (those born between 1946 and 1964) has, over recent decades, affected nearly every corner of American society. Now this enormous flock is poised to overwhelm yet another major social system—and no, I am not talking about Facebook.

Medicare, the government-run health insurance program that currently insures about 40 million Americans, most of them

seniors, faces a perilous future. Today, those 65-and-olders make up about 12 percent of the U.S. population; in just 20 years a whopping 20 percent of Americans will be of Medicare age. By some estimates, the system will be insolvent in as soon as eight years, meaning it will dish out more in payments than it collects through taxes.

My father has already crossed that threshold into the land of Medicare and Social Security benefits. My mom, on the other hand, in just a few short years will join the first ripple of boomers to turn 65. She’s expressed to me her concerns that those very two systems—to which, throughout her working life, she watched a portion of her paycheck go each month—may go broke soon after she can finally tap into them. These are just some of the issues on the table as Congress resumes this month to further debate (and hopefully, come to a decision on) health care reform.

Right now, some 20 million boomers are caring for their elderly parents. As society grays, and resources dwindle, the responsibility of caring for the nation’s seniors will likely fall on the next generation. As author Joy Vann points out in “Caring for an Aging Parent,” starting on page 22, families who plan ahead—not just financially, but also by securing important documents and talking openly about difficult topics—stand to benefit greatly.

In this month’s cover story you’ll find tips about securing legal documents that address end-of-life wishes, safeguarding the home so seniors who want to stay put can do so worry-free, as well as locating local resources, like your Area Agency on Aging, that can help navigate the many options available to seniors. You’ll also find tips for initiating conversation about tough topics, as so many families simply don’t want to talk about the “what ifs.”

I’ve been fortunate to have had “the talk” with both of my parents. We’ve discussed their wishes, and they have written their advance directives. Luckily, they are both in good health. They’re active and independent, and chances are they won’t need my help any time soon. But they both know that when the time comes they won’t have to go it alone. So in the meantime, Mom, welcome to Facebook. It’s just another way for us to stay in touch.

Sentara Hospitals Ranked among “Best” in annual Reporttwo Sentara hospitals (and five service lines) were ranked among the top 50 in u.S. news & World report’s annual “america’s Best Hospitals” edition, which surveyed nearly 5,000 u.S. hospitals. Sentara norfolk general Hospital was listed among the best facilities for Heart & Heart Surgery (Sentara Heart Hospital), diabetes and Endocrine disorders, Kidney disorders and geriatric Care. Sentara leigh Hospital was ranked among the top 50 hospitals for orthopaedics.

HU Nursing School awarded $3.2 Millionthe department of Health and Human Services has awarded the Hampton university School of nursing $3.2 mil-lion in grants to help retain students and prepare them for the workforce as well as enhance the school’s doctoral nursing program.

After 55 years of marriage, Robert and Thelma Spotts still love spending time together. They just never thought the togetherness would extend

to an operating room at Sentara CarePlex Hospital in Hampton, where both landed on the same day—for the same surgery by the same surgeon.

At 3 p.m. on April 14, Thelma, 73, was rolled in to have her failing right knee replaced. About three hours later, after she had moved into a recovery room, doc-tors brought in their next patient—her 80-year-old hus-band—and replaced his left knee. As the Newport News

couple recuperated over the next weeks and months, they supported each other and, as they often do, play-fully competed.

“I whipped her real bad at rehab,” Robert jokes. Thel-ma quickly counters that her husband had more experi-ence with the therapy regimen: he’d had his other knee replaced four years earlier. “The therapists would tell me, ‘oh, ignore him, he’s done this before,’” she says. “They’d say, ‘You just don’t pay any attention to him.’”

Robert and Thelma turned to joint replacement surgery after their respective knees deteriorated to a point that

walking short distances was very painful. Robert, who re-tired from the civil service after 31 years as a mechanical engineering technician, had loved bowling and softball in his younger days, but in the six months before his surgery he found himself unable even to go on his regular walks. During the year prior to her surgery, Thelma, a mother

of four and former assistant manager and cashier at a car wash, could no longer stand in line at stores and had to ride a motorized cart to do her grocery shopping.

The couple considered surgery, but Robert, Thelma and their daughter Cathy White, who lives at home and helps care for her parents, understood each likely would need three months of recovery time. So if one had surgery and the other waited, they’d be out of commission a total of six months. But if they went in together, they’d only be talking about half that time. Furthermore, if Robert and Thelma stayed in an inpatient facility for two weeks of post-surgical rehabilitation, Cathy would have a chance to visit her own children and a new grandchild in New Jersey (Cathy’s siblings also live out-of-state). “[Having surgery at the same time] just made sense,” says Robert, who also served active duty in the Air Force and in the ac-tive reserves for the Air Force and Navy. “We’d be getting it out of the way much faster.”

Plus, they’d be together—as they have been since Thel-ma was in high school and met her future husband, a fel-low Philadelphia native, at a wedding. Rob-ert later took her to her senior prom. “We each have our separate interests, [but] we are just part of one another,” Robert says. “We don’t always agree on things, but I think we have a good sense of humor and we use it to end arguments. We never go to bed angry with each other.”

solidarity made recovery easier for bothRobert laughs that on the day of their sur-

geries, he checked with their doctor, Colin Kingston of Tidewater orthopaedic Associates, to make sure he wasn’t tired. Dr. Kingston had added Robert’s procedure as an extra surgery that day, giving him a total of five operations to do. That afternoon was stressful for Cathy, especially since her mother had suffered respira-tory failure following a previous neck surgery. “I turned a little grayer,” Cathy says. “When my mom came out, it was such a relief—but then my father was just going in.” Tending to both parents in the hospital also wasn’t easy: “I was trying to give them equal time, plus I was balanc-ing a part-time job,” she says. “I probably was bugging the nurses a lot. But there were no problems at all this time.”

Robert and Thelma agree that having each other nearby was a huge motivator during their recovery. During two

weeks of rehabilitation at a Hampton facility, their rooms were just across the hall from one another, and they vis-ited regularly and met for dinner dates. “It was definitely a reason to get up and move around,” Thelma says. When they went on to outpatient physical therapy, Robert was by Thelma’s side as they completed an hour of exercis-

es—starting with simple bends and gradually adding weights, biking and running—three times a week. Thel-ma also needed time on a stretching machine because she had trouble bending her new knee. After Robert finished therapy in June, he became his wife’s coach.

Robert also liked to pull pranks to make Thelma smile. one day, he swiped her slipper-shoes while she was exercising and folded them up, tucked them in his back pocket and

covered them with his long shirttail. Thelma couldn’t un-derstand why they weren’t under the bench where she al-ways left them. “She was looking all around, real confused,” Robert laughs. “She never would have found them, but then that therapist rat-finked on me.”

The couple’s sense of humor helped them through the toughest times after surgery. “You are in pain at the begin-ning, and it’s a lot easier to joke around,” Thelma says. “You can either laugh or cry, and we like to laugh.”

Robert concurs: “our doctor was right when he told us that we’d hate him a lot for the first month after surgery, hate him a little the second month and love him by the sixth month,” he says. “We both understood exactly what the other one was going through.”

All in all, it was a gamble worth takingToday, Robert and Thelma say their new knees are

working well despite a little lingering pain. Robert is back to walking, and Thelma doesn’t use the motorized grocery store cart anymore (meaning Robert no longer

struggles to keep up with his wife, whom he jokingly calls “that maniac,” because she used to speed off and “ditch” him in the aisles). Thelma also is able to bend her knee enough to get into a car comfortably again, and the two casino lovers have traveled to Dover Downs in Delaware and Atlantic City since their surgery. They even hope to get back to Las Vegas in the future.

The Spottses say they’d recommend knee replacement surgery to anyone experiencing the kind of discomfort they were—even if the person considering it doesn’t have a spouse who would go through it at the same time. “It’s well worth it,” Robert says. “It’s not always easy, but there’s a big payoff.”

Just like a long, happy marriage. HJ

Tiny ovarian Tumors Lurk For Years, Study FindsEarly detection key to saving livesWASHINGTON (REuTERS)

Tiny ovarian tumors lurk in the Fallopian tubes for an average of four years before they grow large enough to be detected, researchers reported in a study published

in July that explains why diagnosis of ovarian cancer usually comes too late to save a woman’s life.

They said they were trying to find ways to improve testing for the cancer, one of the deadliest because it is so hard to detect before it has spread.

“Reliable early detection would save so many more lives than many new blockbuster anticancer drugs,” Howard Hughes Medical Institute researcher Dr. Patrick Brown of Stanford

University in California, who led the study, said in a statement.“There is a long window of opportunity for potentially life-

saving early detection of this disease, but the tumor spreads while it is still much too small to be detected by any of the tests that have been developed or proposed to date.”

ovarian cancer kills 140,000 women every year globally and 15,000 in the United States alone. Genetic mutations are known to raise the risk, but most patients do not have a clear genetic risk, and no good screening test exists. Blood tests for a compound called CA-125 may help guide therapy but cannot tell a doctor and a patient if a seemingly healthy woman has a tumor.

Brown’s team analyzed tumors discovered in women who had their Fallopian tubes and ovaries removed due to a high family and genetic risk of ovarian cancer. They found little tumors that had not been detected in many of the women—most less than three millimeters across, smaller than a small peppercorn—they reported in the online Public Library of Science journal PLoS Medicine.

According to Brown, “We are miles away from detecting the most deadly ovarian tumors at this early stage, but now we have a chance of actually designing an effective test that will allow us to treat them before they become deadly.”

Each year, ovarian cancer kills 15,000 women in the United States alone.

If the family computer is crammed in a corner of your kitchen, the keyboard is precariously balanced on a TV tray or the kids are pulling up an old kitchen chair when they work in front of

the monitor, you’re not alone. Thanks to the increasing popularity of the home computer,

families are spending more time in a desk environment than they did 10 years ago, and many are trying to squeeze a home worksta-tion into their living room, extra bedroom or kitchen corner.

“Computers for work and recreation have grown exponential-ly,” says Dr. Phyllis M. King, program director of occupational therapy at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

While many families pour cash into a computer system that meets the needs of all its users, they spend little or no time creat-ing a healthy working environment. Well over half of American households have a computer at home, and creating a working en-vironment that meets a family’s ergonomic needs has become a common challenge. “Home office environments have gotten less attention in the past than workplace offices,” says King. “Howev-er, we are seeing an increase in time spent on home computers,”

she notes, adding that even recreational computer use, like video gaming and in-stant messaging, can cause health prob-lems over time.

The height of the monitor, the sup-port of the desk chair and the source of light can all create physical problems if they aren’t properly tailored to the user. “Symptoms [such as] pain in [the] mus-cles of the back, neck and forearms may be experienced from extended periods of improper or unsupported postures,” King says. And, she adds, “eye problems may occur due to poor or improper lighting.”

Without investing a fortune, families can improve the ergonomics of their home

office by following these simple tips:

Find a family-friendly seat. For a home office space that can be customized for each family member’s unique size, King recom-mends starting with the seat. “A good chair goes a long way!” she says. “An adjustable chair with good lumbar support is very im-portant in order to accommodate different family members using the same computer station.”

Most office chairs are made for adults five feet tall and over. Since a family’s members are continually growing, choosing a chair that can adjust in height, arm position and lumbar support for each user is important. If your current office chair does not have these adjustable features, use pillows for supporting a child’s back and arms.

Secure good footing. When sitting at the family desk, feet should be resting on the floor. If kids’ feet dangle, use a small stool, box or even a stack of books to create a foot support.

Be direct. Encourage family members to sit tall in their chair, shoulders squared up to the computer monitor with their key-board directly in front of them. Arms should be bent at the elbow at a 90-degree angle when working with a mouse or keyboard.

Make sure the computer monitor is level with the user’s field of vision. Consider purchasing a monitor that adjusts in height and angle, or give the monitor a lift with a homemade prop for height.

Remember that it’s all in the wrist. “A keyboard tray can allow for adjustment of the height of the keyboard,” says King. To cushion wrists, special wrist rests that fit along the edge of a keyboard or mouse pad are available from office supply stores. or, create a homemade version by using a potholder, washcloth or piece of foam.

See the light. Work in a well-lit room, and encourage users to look away from the monitor every 15 minutes to avoid straining the eyes. “A natural source of lighting and/or indirect sources of lighting are better than overhead sources,” says King.

Encourage gentle touches. Family members can get pretty intense with those keystrokes when playing, typing and instant messaging. Punching the keyboard too hard or gripping the mouse with a killer clutch can put stress on fingers and wrists. Teach kids to type lightly and maneuver the mouse gently to take the wear off muscles and tendons.

Take frequent breaks. “Stress builds up in muscles if move-ment does not occur,” says King, who recommends regular breaks and stretching to keep muscles from tightening. For children, set a timer for 15- or 20-minute breaks, and require them to get out of their seat and walk away from the computer.

Eat Healthy When You’re on the GoTry these simple, smart fast-food swaps when eating on the fly

Nothing signals summer’s end quite like the change in a family’s eating hab-its. As school days resume—days also crowded with club meetings, music lessons and sports practices—little time is left for preparing and eating

healthy dinners. Soon, crisp salads and fresh fruit—the delectable abundance of summer produce—give way to convenience foods like burgers and fries. Neon res-taurant and drive-thru signs call like beacons on busy nights: “Fast, hot, cheap.”

But you can make better choices when eating on the run. Knowing which menu items at your favorite pit stop are diet-friendly can take you a long way toward your fitness goals. Here are some suggestions:

A stomach ache, a broken bone, an earache, chest pains, a laceration that won’t stop bleeding—what types of ail-ments are suitable for treatment at an urgent care facil-

ity, and when should a person go directly to an emergency room?Local urgent care clinics have gained popularity in recent years,

especially among tourists and other out-of-town visitors as well as those who lack a primary care physician or find themselves in need of services when their regular doctor is unavailable.

“one of the big reasons they come to see us is the convenience,” says Dr. Michael Rogowski, a former emergency room physician who co-founded MedExpress, which has locations in Williams-burg, Yorktown and Newport News. Emergency rooms often tend to have longer wait times and more stressful environments.

“Cost is also an issue,” Rogowski adds. “Urgent care is a [less costly] alternative than the ER.”

Most urgent care facilities are equipped to handle condi-tions such as minor cuts, burns, bruises, breaks, sprains, frac-tures and rashes, and symptoms associated with colds, aller-gies, sinus conditions, upset stomachs, and the flu, as well as seasonal issues such as insect bites and heat-related illnesses in the summer or frostbite in winter.

“We really see everything,” says Rogowski, adding, “Some of the things we see are appropriate for us, and some are more appropriate for the emergency room.”

Dr. Clarice Moussalli, a physician with Sentara Urgent Care in Williamsburg, says she sometimes sees patients who really should have gone immediately to an emergency room. “Some people either don’t know, or some people do know and are in denial [about the severity of their condition],” she says, though for the most part, “People usually know when something is se-rious. If they feel something is really wrong, then they should go directly to the emergency room. If they are having troubles with major parts of their body, such as the heart or the head, if they can’t walk or are having troubles forming a sentence, then that is not something for urgent care.”

Health care providers in emergency rooms have more elab-orate testing methods and machinery at their immediate dis-posal, such as computerized axial tomography (CAT-scans),

magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and cardiac and resusci-tative equipment, enabling them to treat patients with serious medical problems quicker than at urgent care facilities.

“The big difference between us and the ER is the quick acces-sibility they have to the specialized testing, as well as the ability to admit patients to the hospital,” says Rogowski.

Physicians advise patients to head to the ER instead of ur-gent care if they experience symptoms for any life-threatening condition, such as:

Heart Attack—symptoms can include chest pain, short-ness of breath, nausea, lightheadedness and sometimes back or jaw pain

Stroke—often marked by slurred speech, difficulty walking, impaired vision or numbness on one side of the body. “If [indi-viduals] think they are having a stroke, they should come imme-diately to the hospital,” says Dr. Gary Kavit, medical director for trauma and emergency services at Riverside Regional Medical Center. “They need to come here as soon as possible. There is intervention, but it is a time-sensitive intervention.”

Head trauma—including any situation in which a person is rendered unconscious

Problems with pregnancy—may include bleeding, cramp-ing, decreased fetal movement

Doctors also suggest turning to the ER for cases of broken bones in which the bone is protruding from the skin; chron-ic medical problems such as, or risk factors associated with, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol; ac-cidental poisonings; continuous bleeding from any part of the body; or gunshot wounds.

Kavit notes that a patient’s age may also determine whether an ER or urgent care facility is preferable. Infants, toddlers and senior citizens, for example, may be better served by an ER physician, but what option is best depends on the person and the condition.

When in doubt, head straight to the ER.“Time is of the essence,” Moussalli says. “The quicker [patients]

are treated, the greater the chance of a better outcome.”

Where to Seek Care

Some injuries can be treated at your neighborhood urgent care clinic, while some require a trip to the ER—here’s how to tell the difference.

Volunteering May Increase Retirees’ Lifespan

Results of new study provide more evidence that participat-ing in volunteer activities may add years to an older per-son’s life. In a study of U.S. retirees, researchers found

that volunteering significantly reduced the chances of dying over a four-year period. Volunteering, the investigators say, may improve health outcomes by expanding retirees’ social networks, increasing their access to resources and improving their sense of self-worth.

In the study, Dr. Sei J. Lee and colleagues from the VA Medical Center and University of California, San Francisco, examined 6,360 retirees older than age 65 who enrolled in the Health and Retire-ment Study in 2002. As part of the study, the men and women, whose average age was 78 years, were asked: “Have you spent any time in the past 12 months doing volunteer work for a religious, educational, health-related, or other charitable organization?”

Lee and colleagues found that volunteering was strongly associated with lower death rates, with 12 percent of 1,766 volunteers dying by 2006 compared to 26 percent of 4,594 non-volunteers. Even after ad-justing for numerous factors that could influence the results, such as the se-niors’ socioeconomic status, chron-ic illnesses, and functional limi-tations, volunteering remained strongly correlated with lower death rates.

Medication overdoses send one in every 180 U.S. two-year-olds to the emergency

department each year, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. Such overdoses are responsible for more than two-thirds of all childhood poisonings.

Most of the time, these cases occur when a child finds a medicine and eats or drinks it without adult supervision, said Dr. Daniel S. Budnitz, director of the Medication Safety Program at the CDC’s Division of Healthcare Quality and Promotion and leader of the study.

“Although there have been some great strides in preventing deaths from overdoses with the traditional child-resistant caps...it might be time to kind of take the next step,” Budnitz said. He stated the CDC is working with manufacturers and other agencies to come up with innovative packaging that reduces the likelihood that a child can take too much of a medication.

While the number of calls to poison control centers nationwide is declining, Budnitz and his team note in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the percentage of those calls that involve medicines rather than household products such as cleaners and pesticides jumped 10 percent from 2002 to 2006. It’s not clear why, Budnitz said in an interview, but the fact that people are simply taking more medicines these days could be a factor.

To better understand how to prevent unintentional medication overdoses in children, the researchers looked at data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System for 2004 to 2005 on visits to emergency departments for unintentional poisoning in patients 18 years of age and under.

Medication accounted for 68.9

percent of these visits, or an estimated 71,224 visits every year, Budnitz and his team found. over-the-counter products were responsible for a third of the medication-related poisonings.

The most common medications involved were acetaminophen (Tylenol), representing 9.3 percent of cases; cough and cold medicines, 7.3 percent; antidepressants, 6.1 percent; and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Advil), 5.3 percent.

Four out of five visits were due to children ingesting medications on their own, while 14.3 percent involved misuse of medications—for example, a child being given too large a dose by an adult, or being dosed too frequently.

The youngest children were most at risk, with kids age five and under accounting for 81.3 percent of the medication-related poisonings. As children got older their likelihood of unintentional medication overdose decreased, but rose again during adolescence, possibly because parents were allowing them to take medications on their own, Budnitz and his team note.

“These are not teens who are trying to get high or kill themselves,” Budnitz noted, but who simply may not understand how to use medicines. “Really, you can only take medicines as directed. If the bottle says take two for pain, it doesn’t mean that taking eight will be even better.”

Parents should know, he added, that teens may still need guidance in using medications properly. And it’s also crucial for parents to tightly close the caps of medicine bottles and put them up out of the reach of children. Putting medicines in a place that’s “convenient” for parents, he said, may also mean that it’s easy for kids to reach them, too.

FITNESS

We are all guilty of it—squeezing in bursts of exer-cise before rushing back to our busy day. In our hurry we forget one of the most important parts

of our workout: the cool-down. You may think cooling down is a waste of time or unnecessary. But in reality, it’s essential for maximizing your workout and preventing injury.

During any type of strength-training activity, the body is subject to many processes. Small tears appear in muscle fibers, tendons and ligaments can incur damage and waste products can build up. A proper cool-down promotes mus-

cle recovery and helps return the body to its normal state. An effective cool-down consists of three key elements:

light cardio, stretching and replenishment:

• Slow the pace. Get three to five minutes of gentle exercise in an activity similar to your workout. For example, if you did an aerobics class, cool down with a light jog or walk.

• Stretch out. You’ll want to stretch the same muscles that were engaged during your workout.

• Re-fuel. Food and water are both important in replen-ishing your tired body. Drink at least 16 ounces of water post-workout, and have a protein-rich snack (aim for at least 10 grams).

Even when you’re in a time crunch, don’t be tempted to skip your cool-down. The benefits of adding an extra five to 10 minutes to the end of your workout are well worth the wait. Your body will safely return to its normal state, re-ducing the risk of injury and preventing the next-day sore-ness we can all live without.

Greg Tudor is a certified personal trainer and co-owner of Results Personal Train-ing Studio in Williamsburg.

Replenishing your body is just as important as your actual workout.

After being neglected by the anti-aging market for so many years, hair is finally getting the atten-

tion it deserves. Though we can already cleanse, condition, color and style it, now at last we may be able to turn back the hands of time with new anti-aging, or restorative, hair care products.

These products, which all boast com-plex formulations of enzymes, botani-cals, amino acids and natural ingredi-ents, promise to put life back into hair that is dry, brittle, gray or thinning due to age.

Though these products are typically aimed at women in their 40s and older, hair that has been exposed to years of chemical processes and environmental factors could benefit from the anti-ag-ing properties found in the shampoos and conditioners.

Jill Butchello, assistant manager and stylist at Bubbles Salon in Williams-burg’s Windsor Meade Marketplace, says the salon has carried anti-aging

hair products since it opened over three years ago, and that the products’ popu-larity has kept them on the shelves.

“We carry Alterna’s ‘Caviar’ line of anti-aging hair care,” Butchello says. “It’s a great product, and people re-ally like it.” She adds that taking care of your hair is important because “it’s basically an extension of your skin.”

Hair care is rapidly becoming a part of the burgeoning anti-aging phenom-enon as scientists race to include sun protection (SPF) and a host of restor-ative ingredients in shampoos, con-ditioners and styling products. Stud-ies indicate that this year demand for anti-aging products in general should increase by 10 percent.

Hair care companies haven’t wasted any time in taking advantage of this trend, as more and more age-fighting products are popping up on shelves. Even skin care companies that offer anti-aging products are crossing over into hair care.

Anti-aging Products: Good for Skin—

But Also For Hair?

Here is a look at some of the anti-aging hair care lines and products out there:

Dove Pro-Age—Products promise to help maintain volume and improve the appearance of thinning hair. Gentle enough to use on color-treated or proc-essed hair.

Jonathan Purifier Anti-Aging Restorative Shampoo—This 100-percent vegan shampoo, infused with rosemary and sage extracts, vows to invigorate and restore the head and scalp while sweet almond oil, rice and soy smooth and strengthen damaged cuticles. Claims to restore gray hair to its original color by boosting melanin production.

Alterna Caviar—The “Caviar Anti-Aging” line is made for hair damaged by daily stress, environmental factors, chemical services and premature ag-ing. Products pledge to stop the aging process at the cellular level by infusing hair with caviar extract and other top-shelf ingredients.

Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Time Renewal Shampoo—This vitamin-rich formula gently cleanses the hair and contains special detan-glers that prevent friction. Promises to smooth the hair’s cuticles and undo up to two years of damage.

Phytodensium Shampoo—Pledges to protect against further damage by injecting strength and vitality into aging hair. Its key ingredient is gatu-line, derived from a walnut extract, which is said to shield the hair from damaging free radicals and other en-vironmental factors. Black currant seed oil, naturally rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, regenerates hair while marshmallow root extract is said to hydrate strands. HJ

Caring for an Aging Parent: CoNSIDER ALL oPTIoNS, PLAN AHEAD

Caring for an aging parent is one of those universal life experiences that brings with it many joys but also challenges. Getting older (and dare we say, dying) are the “great inevi-

tables” that most families prefer not to discuss. Those who do talk about it, though, and plan ahead for the possibility that independent living may not be an option, stand to benefit; those who don’t will likely face challenging medical and financial repercussions. You can help your parents prepare for the best future possible by tapping into the many local and national resources available.

Local agencies offer guidance to seniors and their families

When it became clear to Morgaine Beck of Falmouth, Mass., that her parents—octogenarians Agnes and Harley Beck—needed more help than she could provide, Beck spent five months trying to sort things out.

For years the elder Becks had lived in a two-story townhouse in Williamsburg, but as medical issues mounted—Agnes needed surgery for an intestinal blockage, and Harley fractured his hand and devel-oped bruises after falling several times—“it just became too much,” Beck recalls.

She considered moving her parents into a senior living facility, but her dad, an Air Force retiree, was reluctant to give up his independence and leave a home full of happy memories. He’d always vehe-mently said that he “didn’t want to live in a nursing home,” reflecting a common misconception among older Americans that all senior living communities are sterile, institutional-like places where the sick are sent to die. After consulting Kathy Hoyle, a reg-istered nurse and case manager at Peninsula Agency on Aging (PAA) in Newport News, the family was able to reach a happy medium.

With Hoyle’s help, they decided on assisted liv-ing, a level of care that offers some independence while professional caregivers assist with health and nutritional needs. (See our sidebar at right for more on the levels of care.) But while her parents had a will (though an outdated one), Beck didn’t have financial or medical power of attorney, which would allow her to assist in her parents’ transition. After five months, Beck finally secured the legal docu-ments she needed.

According to Beck, discovering the resources available to her parents through PAA was nothing short of “a miracle.” The PAA is one of about 650

Area Agencies on Aging in the United States that offer assistance to seniors and their families in the form of infor-mation, care coordination, meal deliv-ery and transportation.

In Hampton Roads, help can also be found through Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia (SSSEVA), based in Norfolk. John Skirven, execu-tive director of SSSEVA, calls such agencies “one-stop shops for services and opportunities for older people,” adding that getting the word out about senior resources is vital.

“The United States has not done a good job of teaching people to prepare for old age,” asserts Skirven, “and we’ve not done a good job of building a coher-ent long-term health program. It’s very fragmented. [Fortunately] now there is a lot more attention [paid] to those issues.”

Beck sympathizes with other adult children entrust-ed with the task of caring for their parents, especially those who try to navigate the system without help: “It’s sad, because there are so many resources out there—much more than anyone realizes.”

Beck’s parents now live in a two-room unit at the Madison Retirement Center in Williamsburg. Through PAA, the senior Becks also learned about a veterans’ aid program that supplements their Social Security income, making it affordable to live in the assisted living community where they receive meals, medications and housekeeping/laundry service and participate in social activities.

“They were very isolated before and didn’t have a support network—and now they are part of a com-munity,” says Beck. “I say it’s a happy ending and [a new] beginning. They are happier and healthier than they have been in years.”

Right documents can aid in decision-making, planning ahead

Like a lot of seniors, until medical problems made a lifestyle change more urgent, Beck’s parents hadn’t signed legal documents to allow their daughter to make key decisions regarding their care. In fact, it’s estimated that 70 percent of older Americans don’t have the paperwork in place to make their wishes known, often forcing children or other relatives to make gut-wrenching decisions in crisis mode, rather than being able to calmly make proactive plans. one of the most important documents any adult can have in place is an advance directive—a written or oral statement, made while a person is competent, that

Companion Services—non-medical per-sonal care provided in your home by an individual or home health agency. Servic-es may include help with light housekeep-ing, errands, cooking and other tasks.

Home Care—Provided by home health care agencies, these services can range from nursing care (provided by certified nursing assistants or home health aides) to medication management to physical therapy.

Adult Day Care—meals, medications and social activities are provided to the elderly outside of the home at a designated site. transportation is usually provided. at lo-cal PaCE centers, for example, a medical team coordinates doctor’s appointments for each individual.

Independent Senior Living Communities—often called “retirement homes,” these fa-cilities are ideal for seniors who are in good health but would like to live in a commu-nity with people their own age with similar interests. Some communities offer dining, social activities and transportation.

Assisted Living Facilities—live-in facili-ties where seniors receive help with the tasks of daily living such as bathing, dressing and preparing meals but do not require round-the-clock care. Home care and skilled nursing services are usu-ally provided by an outside agency. many such facilities offer special alzheimer’s/dementia wings.

Nursing Homes—offer round-the-clock convalescent care for individuals who cannot care for themselves. medical and non-medical staff members manage medications, help with feeding and pro-vide housekeeping services.

Continuing Care Communities—may of-fer independent and assisted living, usu-ally in the same campus or setting, as well as nursing care and/or hospice. an entry fee may be required.

Hospice/Palliative Care—Can be provided in the individual’s home, at any senior care facility or designated hospice centers. Hospice caregivers focus on pain manage-ment and spiritual issues. this level of care is often reserved for those with a life expectancy of six months or less.

levels of Care

expresses one’s health care wishes. There are two types: the living will, which provides directions for end-of-life care, and a durable power of attorney for health care (or medical power of attorney) which des-ignates a particular individual to make health care decisions for a person in the event he or she cannot make them for him or herself (this pertains only to medical treatment and is separate from a legal power of attorney, which covers legal and financial issues.)

Asking parents about their long-term care wishes and housing preferences can be difficult, if not daunt-ing. Experts recommend taking a low-key approach. Sue Cunningham, a certified senior advisor and aging-in-place specialist in Virginia Beach, says, “I hear from a lot of adult children who don’t want to bring these topics up because they [fear their parents will think] they just want their inheritance or money, when really all they want to do is what’s right by their parents.” She advises having the conversation before it becomes necessary, because if you wait until a cri-sis, you may then have to make decisions that would be contrary to their wishes. Cunningham also sug-gests broaching the subject of care plans with some-thing topical, such as the recent Oprah show about the possibility of living to be 150 years old. Finding an article on the subject can open dialogue, too.

Caring for an Aging Parent(those born between 1946 and 1964) approach 65 (the first boomers will turn 65 in 2011). By 2030, nearly one in five Americans will be over age 65, straining (or some say, breaking) the U.S. health care system. Right now, the fastest growing seg-ment of the U.S. senior population is individuals 85 years and older, the majority of whom want nothing more than to stay where they feel most at ease: in their own home.

Aging in place—a phrase that defines a move-ment to help seniors live independent, healthy lives at home—is a worthy goal, and some seniors can

achieve it. For example, sim-ple changes and additions to homes can allow seniors, even those with health concerns, to stay in their homes as long as possible. Dr. Jeffrey Carlson of orthopaedic and Spine Center in Newport News notes that the most common injuries among the elderly come from impaired vision and poor balance. “With falls, we see patients who’ve gotten tangled up in something or missed a step,” he says. “So it’s important to make clear path-ways in the home. Flooring is one of the big issues. Throw rugs that slip can be one of the most dangerous [hazards] in a home.”

More significant chang-es, such as selling the fam-ily home and downsizing, may take more discussion, money and time. “Living in a 6,000-square-foot house can be difficult,” Carlson says, noting that many seniors opt to move to a one-level home for safety reasons.

And what about seniors who want to remain in their home but need help beyond what family members can provide? Home care, of course, is an option; but round-the-clock care isn’t in the budget of most families. one solu-tion is to send seniors to a day program such as PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, operated independently by Riverside Health System in Hampton and by Sentara Healthcare in Virginia Beach and soon in Portsmouth.) At PACE centers, eligible seniors receive care from an interdisciplin-ary team that provides primary health care, nurs-ing, rehabilitation therapies, meals, psycho-social support and recreational activities. Transportation is provided to and from the sites, relieving family caregivers of daily drop-off and pick-up duties.

Laura Gadsby, Sentara’s PACE site manager, says working families find relief in having all of those ser-vices covered—as well as medical care and coordina-tion provided—all at one place. Seniors tend to thrive

in the program: daily interaction with a medical team helps to prevent or catch conditions that could cause further debilitation. Another important benefit for PACE seniors, says Gadsby, is that the daily social interaction, coupled with the ability to either live at home or with family, can help ward off depression—a condition to which the elderly are especially prone.

Help is out there, if you know where to lookKathy Sexton of Norfolk wonders why no one on

the extensive medical teams of her parents, Thelma and Fred Sexton, told her about the resources and care options available to local seniors during her seven years as a caregiver. She assumes it’s because she attended the hundreds of medical appointments, always asking questions. And she was always the one to drive them home from the hospital. Looking back, Sexton surmises that because so many seniors don’t have family members to advocate for their care, the doctors who witnessed her attentiveness simply “didn’t worry about who would care for [my parents].”

But things got hairy when Thelma’s diabetes and congestive heart failure progressed. Sexton hired a certified nursing assistant to care for her parents during the day but found the care “merely adequate.” Sexton began taking on more and more caregiving responsibilities, including attending to their needs at night. “It was hard being up every night for eight to 10 hours, changing diapers and giving medications and then going to work in the morning,” she says.

As Sexton’s mother’s health failed, so did her father’s. Bills mounted, and after a while, Sexton found herself paying for most of them out of pocket. “I began to feel like an ATM machine,” she remem-bers. “Every time I turned around there was a new bill for something I hadn’t anticipated, like $800 for a mechanical chair or $10 an hour for a neighbor to sit with Dad.”

Managing her parents’ medical needs and main-taining their household eventually took its toll on Sexton, who, even two years after her mother’s death and seven months after her father’s passing, says she can “still hear my parents calling my name” in the middle of the night.

“My parents relied on me, the single daughter without children,” she says. “I wish I’d known about the resources that are out there.”

MYTH #1: “I’ll never need long-term care.”

Most people can’t imagine themselves needing long-term care ser-vices, but the United States Department of Health and Human Servic-es indicates that at age 65 we face at least a 40-percent lifetime risk of entering a nursing home. Living a long life may further increase your risk of needing long-term care. Isn’t it better to insure against what that risk may do to your family and your financial plans?

MYTH #2: “Long-term care is only for the elderly.”

Actually, a surprising percentage of long-term care services are provided to younger people. The U.S. Government Accountability Office estimates that 40 percent of the 13 million people receiving long-term care services are between the ages of 18 and 64. The unexpected need for long-term care could arise at any age for any number of reasons, including illness or an accident.

MYTH #3: “I’ll pay for my own long-term care.”

In 2008, U.S. nursing home costs averaged over $76,400 a year per individual, but in some regions this figure was nearly dou-bled. How long could you pay for these expenses without jeop-ardizing your financial plan or exhausting your savings? It may make good sense to transfer this financial risk just like you do with your homeowner’s insurance or auto insurance. Even if you can afford to pay for long-term care services out of pocket, why would you want to when you can transfer the cost to an insurer for premiums that may total a fraction of the cost of care?

MYTH #4: “Medicare will cover my long-term care expenses.”

Medicare does pay for nursing home care, but only for a maximum of 100 days and only if the three-day qualifying hospital stay require-ment has been met. In addition, Medicare will only pay as long as you are showing progress towards recovery. once your condition becomes stable—regardless of whether you’re fully well—Medicare rules indi-cate that benefits will stop. Also, Medicare does not pay for individu-als to attend an adult day care program or for the room and board expenses at an assisted living facility.

MYTH #5: “Medicaid will cover my long-term care expenses.”

Medicaid was developed partially to cover long-term care costs for Americans of any age who need help paying for those services. Medicaid is currently the largest payer of long-term care costs in the U.S., primarily for care in nursing homes. However, Medicaid helps people with limited or minimal income and assets, and in order to qualify for benefits, you have to demonstrate a financial need for help. Qualifying means spending nearly all of your own money on your care before the government will step in to help.

MYTH #6: “My family will take care of me.”

The financial, physical and emotional stress that full-time care-giving may place on families can be overwhelming. Many fami-lies have struggled to provide care for parents or siblings only to eventually realize that the care required is more than they can provide. The truth is, sometimes the best way for a family to take care of a loved one needing long-term care is to make sure that a person has access to professional care. With the advances in home care services, many people needing long-term care are ac-tually able to stay at home, with or near their families, and still get the professional care they need.

MYTH #7: “Long-term care insurance covers only nursing homes.”

Nearly everyone who needs long-term care wants to stay at home. Long-term care insurance can offer valuable benefits that may keep you at home for as long as possible. Long-term care insurance can also help cover the cost of care in other locations, such as adult day care centers, assisted living facilities and hospice care.

But coverage of the issue has included a lot of conflicting, and even mistaken, information. Misconceptions may have prevented you from considering long-term care coverage, but it is a critical component of any comprehensive retirement plan. Read on for straight talk about long-term care.

DENTURE COMFORT!Alzheimer’s patients who have a close relationship with their caregivers show a

slower decline in their mental and physical function over time, new research hints.

In fact, the effect of having a close relationship with one’s caregiver approached the impact of taking medications that can slow the progression of the disease, Dr. Maria Norton of Utah State University in Salt Lake City and her colleagues found.

The researchers have been following more than 5,000 people since 1994 to investigate risk factors for dementia in the Cache County Memory Study. All study participants were 65 or older at the study’s outset.

Norton and her team zeroed in on a subset of 167 people who had developed dementia and followed them for about 20 months, on average. All subjects were being cared for by a spouse or an adult child. They determined caregiver-patient closeness by presenting the caregivers with a series of statements about their relationship with the patient.

overall, Norton and her colleagues found, the patients with spouse caregivers showed slower physical and mental decline than those being cared for by adult children. And the closer the relationship was, the slower the decline.

People may be more willing to care for a husband or wife than for a parent, Norton noted, given that they’ve already agreed to stick by them in sickness and in health. “They’ve already kind of made that lifelong commitment,” she said.

Caregivers who feel closer to their charge may also be more likely to spend time engaging with that person and making him or her feel “important and loved,” rather than parking the person in front of the TV, Norton pointed out.

Evidence is mounting that people’s brains stay healthier if they are more socially and cognitively active, Norton noted. The more loving caregivers “might possibly be engaging the person with Alzheimer’s disease in socially and cognitively stimulating activities that may in turn keep the brain active and slow the rate of cognitive decline,” she said.

The current findings also suggest, she added, that taking steps to strengthen the relationships between Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers could be helpful.

Caregiver Closeness May Slow Alzheimer’s DeclineClose relationship between patient and caregiver similar in effect to popular medications.WRITTEN BY ANNE HARDING NEW YORK (REuTERS HEAlTH)

According to one expert, caregivers who engage their charge in socially and cognitively stimulating activities may help slow the rate of cognitive decline typically seen with Alzheimer’s.

There are few human ailments that can ruin your day like a headache and stress. Whether you suffer constant, low-level

worries about the economy, relationships or life’s other challenges—or more direct and throbbing pain in the head that leaves you wanting to just curl up in a ball—you probably are tempted to do just about anything to feel better. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to safely and effectively manage and limit both headaches and stress.

Connect with your body. When we experience stress, we tend to tighten certain areas. one way to self-manage stress and pain is to normalize your breathing. First, take a moment to become aware of your body. Where’s the tension? Is it in your face? Your scalp? The base of your head? Your shoulders? Your chest or abdomen? Con-sciously connect to those areas of your body, and then gently let the stress go. Visualize breathing out the stress and tension, breathing in nurturing life and oxygen. Does this sound too “New-Agey” for your tastes? If it works, what have you to lose?

Rethink the pills. one of the major problems with pills for headaches is that they carry a risk of “medication-induced” or “rebound” headaches. It’s oK to take a Tylenol or aspirin for the occa-sional head-pounding migraine, and every year or three I have a crushing headache that responds almost miraculously to a single half-aspirin; yet long-term use of these pills not only can in-crease headache incidence and severity, but also

damage the liver, kidney and gastrointestinal tract. Few people find their stress levels plummet at the news that they need dialysis.

Watch what you eat. Food has a very real effect on our moods, and our pain. If you doubt this, then you’ve never seen a child after a sug-ar binge. In addition to affecting mood, some plants and other foods are natural anti-inflam-matory agents (in fact, Hippocrates, father of modern medicine, knew aspirin as willow tree bark). It’s also known that certain foods can “trigger” headaches. Caffeine (whether from a beverage or chocolate), tyramines (common in cheeses) and alcohol (due to both sulfites in wine and alcohol’s dehydrating effects) are common headache triggers. Pay attention to what causes your headaches. Question whether it’s truly a good idea to seek “death” via a con-fection, despite the catchy name.

Seek the cause. If your marital situation or job is causing you tremendous stress, a few breath-ing exercises and some ginger won’t solve your problems. Sure, you can use some of the methods in this article to cope; but I’d suggest you either change your perspective on the world, or change the world around you. Consider career or rela-tionship counseling, prayer, some soul-searching, or talk therapy with a trained counselor.

Exercise. Though some headaches are made worse by exercise, for most aches and pains and stress, exercise is the “magic pill.” Exercise

activates your body’s internal pharmacy, mod-erating both your mood and pain levels. In ad-dition, exercise can help build a sense of self-worth, of accomplishment. Studies have shown so consistently that exercise is a valid way to

modify mood and psychological state that it is a component of depression management pro-grams. So take a walk. or shoot some hoops.

Seek a diagnosis. Perhaps I should have listed this first: Some headaches are of serious, ominous cause. Infections, tumors and aneu-rysms do bring about some headaches, but for-tunately these are rarely the cause. There are many “benign” causes of headache that are nev-ertheless so painful that they cause my patients to ask me to simply remove their heads. If your doctor has a suspicion of an ominous (second-ary) headache cause, he or she will order tests to rule these causes in, or out.

sure-cooker. Make humor a regular part of your life, and you’ll reap rewards.

See a chiropractor. Chiropractic spinal manip-ulation has fared well in peer-reviewed studies as a form of headache management and treatment. In fact, some studies have shown its effects to be superior to common medications, and with lon-ger-lasting results and fewer side effects. Don’t be surprised if you notice your M.D. waiting in your chiropractor’s reception area.

Try acupuncture. This ancient system of healing has the drawback of some language that sounds very, very foreign to our Western ears. What’s this “Chi?” Who says my “Yin” is deficient? Yet despite acupuncture’s roots in a foreign culture, it has caught on in the Western world for one simple reason: Its benefits are real. Modern acupuncture uses sterile devices, and it’s only performed by licensed practitioners. Look for letters like FIAMA, DIAMA, or LAc after the provider’s name. Though my patients

have found acupuncture to be a very powerful method of pain control, many of them have also discovered its calming powers. It appears that certain forms of acupuncture tap into the para-sympathetic (calming) portion of the nervous system, modifying the body along the lines of the famous music that soothes the savage beast. I’ve even had patients come to me after a seri-ous life stress (death of a loved one, for exam-ple) for acupuncture’s powerful calming effects. Though I don’t hold acupuncture out as a cure-all or substitute for psychological interventions, I can’t dispute my patients’ experiences with its profound effects on mood. Perhaps one day Western medicine will have a better grip on the whys and hows of these effects; but then again, are you completely sure why hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL on your computer allows you to shut down a dysfunctional program? The procedure works, so we use it. There’s a lesson there.

Cultivate your human network. A support network of positive interpersonal relationships

is crucial to mental health and to stress manage-ment. In fact, a lack of such connections has been shown to correlate to physical illness and earlier death. Join a book or garden club. Get involved in your church or synagogue or mosque. Cultivate your friendships—and not just when you think you need them. And, if you can, just phone Mom, Dad, Uncle Fred or a sibling now and again. Though family provides its own unique challeng-es, for many people family members are impor-tant anchors in an uncertain world.

Dr. Daniel Shaye is a doctor of chiropractic with Performance Chiropractic. He is a fel-low of the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture, a certified chiropractic sports physician and a certified chiropractic reha-bilitation doctor. The third chiropractor in his family, he practices what he preaches—his lifetime pill total includes zero ibupro-fen, two Tylenols and less than a dozen aspirins to date.

The dividing line between child-hood and adulthood can be fog-gy during adolescence. Teens

who look and feel “grown-up” often feel out of place in a pediatric waiting room filled with children playing with wooden puzzles and coloring books.

But adolescents, especially those who are athletes, face heightened health risks unique to their age. Because they are still growing, teens who are active in sports risk injuring their bones, ligaments and tendons—injuries best treated by pedi-atric sports medicine specialists.

The following are some conditions that occur at a higher rate among ad-olescents than children and are seen more often in gifted athletes who spend especially long spells on the playing field.

“Little League” Shoulder and ElbowMany a pitching career has been

derailed by injuries that result from throwing too many balls without using the proper mechanics. These injuries are especially common when a talented pitcher spends too much time on the mound. Pitchers who specialize in curve balls and sliders are at greatest risk.

Little league shoulder—normally de-fined as a strain in the rotator cuff (a network of muscles and tendons that connects the upper arm to the shoul-der joint)—can also cause a tear in the labrum (a ring of cartilage in the shoul-der joint) as well as damage to the growth plate (a piece of cartilage found at the ends of long bones during the developmental years). As the athlete’s shoulder begins to hurt, his or her ath-letic performance will decline and he or she may feel a need to push harder, making the injury worse. Little league elbow is also caused by overuse and poor mechanics, placing enormous stress on the elbow joint and forearm. It’s an injury that can cause chronic, debilitating pain.

Any pitcher, quarterback or other athlete whose sport requires rapid, re-peated overhead arm movement (this includes swimmers) should consult a

specialist in adolescent sports medicine at the first sign of tenderness. Among other things, the sports medicine spe-cialist can help correct mechanical er-rors to reduce stress on the elbow and shoulder joints. An adolescent sports medicine physician can also design a plan to help the athlete build up certain muscles to support the affected joint and prevent future injuries.

Athlete’s KneeWhile any adolescent athlete can suf-

fer a knee injury, female athletes face special risk as their hips widen during adolescence, causing skeletal imbal-ance that can lead to a catastrophic tear in the ligaments that hold the knee joints together. Again, these injuries are more common among the most talented athletes who may be asked to spend more time on the field or court.

In far too many cases, athletes can rupture or snap the anterior cruciate lig-ament or ACL. The ACL crisscrosses in-side the knee and surgery to repair it can

sideline an athlete for months. After sur-gery, there is no guarantee that an ath-lete with such an injury will fully return to his or her previous level of activity.

Teen athletes, especially females, should consult a sports medicine spe-cialist to learn exercises that can help increase the stability in the knee joints to prevent ACL tears or other knee in-juries. At Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, for example, sports physical therapists regularly offer classes that may reduce the risk of ACL injuries in female athletes by as much as 80 percent by teaching strengthen-ing, stretching and balance techniques as well as core stabilization exercises. The classes also provide guidance on specific moves used in various sports, including proper jumping and landing.

SpondylolysisSpondylolysis, or stress fracture of

the spine, is the most frequent injury among teen athletes who suffer from lower back pain. While the condition

can be treated without surgery, if ig-nored it can grow worse with each growth spurt. This condition rarely oc-curs in adults.

As a general rule, young athletes should consult a physician—preferably one certified in both sports medicine and pediatrics or adolescent medicine—at the earliest sign of muscle tenderness. Treating injuries early can allow chil-dren and teens to further develop their sports abilities and enjoy long, healthy and pain-free athletic careers.

Editor’s Note: See our Health Direc-tory in this issue for pediatric sports medicine practitioners and physical therapy offices near you.

When Dr. John Cranham worked summers as a sailing instructor at a Michigan yacht club during his

late teens, he considered it a fun way to earn money doing something he loved. Little did he know that the job would power his own sails, propelling him toward a career in dentistry.

Cranham remembers meeting many interesting people during those summers at the yacht club, but it was the dentists and their families who stood out above the rest.

“A lot of the families that I really liked were the ones where the dad was a dentist,” says Cranham. “They seemed to have such a nice life. They were balanced—they really enjoyed what they did professionally, but they also had time to do the fun stuff with their families.”

Through his practice in the Western Branch area of Chesapeake, Cranham, now 48, has spent the past two decades bringing healthier and happier smiles to the faces of thousands of Hampton Roads residents. His expertise lies in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, and he is an internationally recognized speaker on the aesthetic principles of “smile design” and many other topics in his specialty.

He founded Cranham Dental Seminars, which provides lectures, mobile programs and intensive hands-on experiences to dentists around the world. In 2008, Cranham Dental Seminars merged with The Dawson Academy, a world-famous continuing education facility for dentists that is based in St. Petersburg, Fla. As The Dawson Academy’s acting clinical director, Cranham is involved with many of the courses and provides continuing education to dental professionals across the globe.

His new office location, which opens Sept. 14 in the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake, will be both a dental practice and a teaching facility, allowing local dentists to train in Chesapeake as opposed to traveling to Florida. A third training site has been established in England, and Cranham estimates that 2,200 dentists are trained each year through the program. Cranham spends approximately two-thirds of his time in private practice and the other third as an educator. He believes this balance keeps him on the leading edge of both disciplines.

The Health Journal recently spoke with Cranham about his role as an educator, his greatest source of inspiration and the ever-evolving field of dentistry.

HJ: Has life as a dentist turned out as you imagined it would?

JC: Absolutely. My life has been unbelievable in that it is what I wanted to create for my family. Despite some of the traveling I’ve had to do teaching-wise—which is also why I’m excited to be able to teach the courses at home at our new office location—I’ve managed to be a very present dad and husband. I also wanted to be able to offer [my family] a nice lifestyle, be able to provide for them and have the time to be with the people I care about. From that standpoint, dentistry has given me what I hoped for and more.

HJ: What has been the biggest surprise in your career?

JC: It is how rapidly the technology is advancing. There really isn’t a single procedure I learned in dental school that I am doing the same way. I don’t know if 20 years ago I would have thought that would have been a good thing, but I think it is also one of the things I enjoy about dentistry—

Age: 48

hometown: Brantford, ontario, Canada

Family: Wife, Kim; son, Cornell; two daughters, Kaitlyn and Kristen

Education: Honors graduate of the medical College of Virginia (now Virginia Commonwealth university medical Center) in richmond

Professional affiliations: american dental association, american academy of Cosmetic dentistry, american academy of Fixed Prosthodontics, american Equilibrium Society

PROFILE

it is impossible to get bored. [Dentistry] is changing so rapidly in terms of the materials and technologies we have at our fingertips. As an educator as well as a dentist, I’m forced to keep up, and I like that part of it.

HJ: Who do you look to for inspiration?

JC: My adopted son, Cornell. He was one of my wife’s patients when she was a pediatric occupational therapist at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters. He was a one-pound, nine-ounce “premie” who was abandoned over there [by his birth mother who was addicted to crack cocaine]. He was on a ventilator for six months and spent almost one-and-a-half years of his life at the hospital. He didn’t walk until he was four and had multiple surgeries to reconstruct his trachea.

He’s a fighter. We brought him home initially as a foster child and ended up adopting him. He’s probably had the most impact on me out of everybody. He’s had more issues to deal with in his short life than most of us will have in all of our life, but he has a big smile on his face and just goes at it every day and never complains. He’s touched a lot of hearts.

HJ: What is the best dental advice you can offer?

JC: Make sure that you catch problems when they are small by seeing your dentist regularly. Dental problems never get better over time.

HJ: What is your favorite motto?

JC: I remember hearing that Tiger Woods’ father raised him with the motto, “Share and care.” That would be my favorite. HJ
