The Rotary Club of Dixie Sunrise was “On The Road Again” this week, January 20th. (Yes, we are returning to the Abbey Inn next week.)
Marla invited us to meet at the Knight Education Center of Dixie Regional Medical Center where we learned from Dr. Rusty Moore the answer to the question “Just What Is a Physiatrist?” Dr
. Moore, Medical Director of the Acute Rehabilitation Unit of Dixie Regional Medical Center, gave a presentation explaining his work and the work done at The Acute Rehab Unit. He explained that the work of that unit is to restore function to the patients who have come to 
the unit after a life changing event such as a stroke, a broken hip, or a spinal cord injury. He brought with him Lindsay Pugmire, Physical Therapist and Steven Wallenfels, Occupational Therapist. These gentleman spoke about the Interdisciplinary nature of the work of the unit in that the entire focus for physician, nursing and therapy is the Whole Person. Marla also invited Mitchell Cloward, Operations Officer of Dixie Regional and Ted Hugunin, Director of the Therapy Services at Dixie Regional who were able to answer other hospital and therapy related
questions as well.
Please remember next week, Jan. 27th we are back at the Abbey Inn and will be having a Reorganization and Planning Meeting. Please plan to attend so we have the voice the whole group in planning our next activities.
See you then!
