For The LeaderMemorial HermannNorthwest Hospital
Melody Dickerson chose nursing as a career in high school, after being hospital-ized following a car accident. Today, she’s a master’s-de-greed registered nurse, a certi-fied professional in healthcare quality and Chief Nursing Of-ficer (CNO) at Memorial Her-mann Northwest Hospital.
“After my accident I real-ized I had a calling to improve patient care,” said Dickerson, who has been a nurse since 1995 and, as CNO, leads ef-forts to ensure that patients receive top-notch care. “At the heart of nursing is our de-sire to serve our patients and help them physically, emotion-ally and spiritually during a tough time in their lives. No one wants to be in the hospi-tal unless it’s to have a baby. Our job as healers is to make the hospital experience as comfortable as possible. The nurses who go a step further and advocate for their patients are exceptional. This desire to improve is what the American Nurses Credentialing Center Pathway to Excellence® Pro-gram is all about.”
Memorial Hermann North-west was recently redesig-nated in the Pathway to Ex-cellence Program for creating a positive environment where nurses can excel.
“Nurses understand that Pathway-designated hospitals respect their contributions, support professional development and nurture ideal work settings,” Dickerson said. “When nurses know they are appreciated for the good work they do, patient care and outcomes improve. Studies have shown that when nurses are happy, patients are happy.”
The challenging road to a Pathway to Excellence designation ends with
a nurse satisfaction survey. “That was a nail-biter for me,”
Dickerson said. “51 percent of the staff must complete the survey, and 75 percent of the responses must be positive. Our responses were 100 percent positive – the ANCC told us this was an astounding result.”
With an aging population living longer, today’s nurses care for pa-tients who are sicker.
“The level of care required of nurses at the bedside is growing
more complex almost daily,” said Crystal Goode, RN, who is nursing director in charge of the hospital’s Progressive Care Unit, Intermediate Care Unit and Admission Processing Unit, a new area opening in Janu-ary 2015 that will transition patients from the Emergency department to this new unit where they’ll receive care.
“The Pathway designation means that our nurses are committed to the work they do and that we as man-
agers support them. Our CEO is a nurse, and our CNO is very sup-portive. They make sure we have the resources we need to do a good job,” Goode said.
“We’re drawn to nursing as a ca-reer because we like caring for peo-ple,” she added. “If nurses get into it for other reasons, they don’t last long. We’re challenged every day with new things. We help, we save, we teach, we inspire. It would be im-possible to praise nurses too highly.”

Memorial Hermann Northwest Hospital Receives Nursing Excellence Designation
By Betsy [email protected]
After a three year delay, the Physician Specialty Center at 1900 North Loop West be-tween Ella and T.C. Jester is open for business, or at least a portion of it is.
There are offices open on the first through fifth floors of the six story building with ad-ditional office space still being constructed on the fifth and sixth floors. The entire struc-ture offers 19,850 square feet and LoopNet lists the rental rate as $23 per square foot a year as a minimum. Parking will be free of charge in the parking lot and the three-level garage.
Tenants on the exterior sign for Physician Specialty Center include Memorial Herman Endoscopy Center, GI Specialists of Houston, LLP, Coastal Eye Associates and Solis Mammography. A list of tenants who currently occupy the building are on a poster board in the lobby. These include Houston Foot and Ankle, North Houston Urology and IntegraNet Health. A permanent tenant directory will be installed in the coming weeks.
In 2012, the building was owned by Stone Development Ventures, who acquired it after Hurricane Ike. Karen Kizer, the broker for Stone Development Ventures, told The Leader at the time that construc-tion had been delayed but that they hoped to open in 2013 and that they had some tenants signed.
Melanie Crozier, a Regional Di-rector with Health Care REIT which is headquartered in Ohio, said that they acquired the building from Stone Development Ventures when it was about three-fourths complete. Health Care REIT, Inc. is a publicly traded real estate investment trust that owns and manages medical of-fices and long term care facilities.
Crozier said that Stone Develop-ment Ventures is finishing all leas-es that they started and after that
Health Care REIT will be responsi-ble for the leasing and maintenance of the center.
While the listing on LoopNet indi-cates that there are two spaces left available for lease, Crozier said she understands that there is one 1,800 square foot space still available.
One tenant already enjoying the space is IntegraNet, an independent integrated delivery network and physician association, which oc-cupies a large office on the fourth
floor.Human Resources Director Kate
Cevallos said they moved in in No-vember and that while it has been a little quiet, they are enjoying the space.
“There’s a little bit of construction still left and work to do on the ga-rage,” said Crozier. “We’re ready to bring all the bits and pieces together and make it the Class A building we expect.”

Physician Specialty Center on steady path to completion

One of my favorite quotes about Christmas, although it is applicable to the holiday season at large, is from the great Garrison Keillor: “A lovely thing about Christmas is that it’s compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.”
That doesn’t mean the holidays aren’t wonderful, but they can be stressful too. Here are five categories of holiday stress relief with reader tips to help you relax a little bit in the weeks to come.
1.) Kick back and enjoy some entertainment
Leader reader Carol McLean is right to say she avoids the nightly news during the holi-day season. A holiday vibe can easily be rebooted by watching a favorite movie. My favorite is Will Ferrell in Elf or Nicolas Cage in The Fam-ily Man. Selena Crochet pre-fers unwinding with a glass of wine and a classic Christmas movie like Love, Actually, Na-tional Lampoons Christmas Va-cation or White Christmas.
“One of those is a classic, at least,” Crochet said.
Lesley Goodman attended Sister’s Christmas Catechism: The Mystery of the Magi’s Gold which runs until December 28 2014 at Stages Repertory The-
atre, 3201 Allen Pkwy #101.“It’s absolutely hilarious,”
she said.2.) Holiday Cocktail any-
one?More than one person
mentioned their fondness for a glass of wine or a special cocktail during the season. Crochet’s favorite is EFFEN cucumber vodka mixed with Hubert’s Mango Lemonade and one drop of tabasco.
Laurie Pitzer makes her-self Oatmeal Cookies – which is not a cookie but equal parts Bailey’s, Butterscotch Schnapps, and Goldschläger, or any cinnamon schnapps, shaken and served over ice or straight up.
“It’s a sipping cocktail, ob-viously,” Pitzer said.
Alice David likes a little bit of Bailey’s in her coffee.
“It’s especially good in de-caf when I’m preparing dinner on a chilly night,” David said.
3.) Let a little steam offExercise is a good stress re-
liever any time of year. Reader Julie Campbell does Imperi-um Crossfit, 1718 W 23rd St., three times a week while Toni Valle goes to VauLt Houston for aerial dance.
“Nothing like being up in the air,” Valle said.
Kelly Gerszewski practices prayer, yoga and medita-tion. Lorraine Cherry walks the trails at West 11th Street
Park. “The ½-mile loop trail has
been newly resurfaced, so the trail is wide and dry,” Cherry said.
Lesley Goodman comment-ed that any class at the 43rd Street YMCA is good — “es-pecially Night Club Cardio with Morgan Shields.”
Selena Crochet also likes Shield’s BodyFlow class and Crossfit with Lori Reilly at the Y.
4.) Pamper yourselfDon’t think of it as extra
– think of it as maintenance. Kim Naiser uses her Young Living Essential Oils to do the trick. Alice David recently added the 10 minute neck massage at Ella Nails, 4208 Ella Blvd., while she got a manicure.
“That was lovely! Pretty cheap too,” David said.
Selena Crochet likes the message at Foot Reflexology, 4218 Ella Blvd., which many describe as a hidden gem in the GOOF.
At Bliss Day Spa, 701 Shep-
herd Drive, #100, they offer Mimosa and Mani Sundays as well as BYOB (Bring Your Own Boy) Tuesdays, where men receive 10% off any ser-vice.
5.) Revel in the bling (and tunes)
For many, driving or walk-ing around a favorite neigh-borhood looking at the lights is a sure fire way to unwind. While River Oaks is worth the drive, there are many neigh-borhoods close to home that really do it up – like Shepherd Park Plaza, Shepherd Park Terrace, Candlelight Plaza and Woodland Heights.
Holiday music is a must too.
“I sing along to Christmas Carols to keep my mind off traffic while stuck in the car going event to event, activity to activity,” said Jeny Burrell.

For The Leader
The Houston Sacred Harp group held its annual gath-ering Saturday, Dec. 6, at Heights Church of Christ for a day of singing and a pot-luck meal. They also gather on the first Sunday of each month, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., at Spring Woods Baptist Church, 10131 Emnora Lane.
Sacred harp singing is ar-guably the oldest true Ameri-can art form. The sound is raw and stirring, as opposed to being smooth and pro-fessional. It emanates from four-part harmony sung a cappella. The “sacred harp” is the human voice. Sacred harp is sometimes referred to as “fa-so-la” singing because singers do a preliminary run-through of a song using the notes of the scale rather than lyrics.
The sacred harp music tra-dition almost died out, but is now experiencing a revival in interest, boosted by the soundtrack of the movie Cold Mountain.
According to Ron Ber-nucho, a member of Hous-ton Sacred Harp, the leader (known as the “pitcher”) in sacred harp selects the key in which the song will be sung, a “key of convenience,” based on the vocal ranges of the singers, who sit in a “hollow square” formation. The for-mation is a time-honored tra-dition, with “sides” based on
the four harmonic parts. The leader stands in the center of the square, facing the tenors, who carry the melody. Male and female voices sing tenor, with the women singing an octave above the men. The other three parts in sacred harp singing are bass, alto, and treble.
For more information, about Houston Sacred Harp
see its Facebook page. For more information on the tra-dition of sacred harp singing, visit fasola.org. Examples of sacred harp singing are plen-tiful on YouTube.

Seventh and eighth grade students from Trinity Lutheran School helped pass out backpacks filled with toys and books at Bruce Elementary as part of Vol-unteer Houston’s Discovery Day with A Visit from Saint Nicholas Program. The event promotes generosity and community involvement, and volunteers from various corporations and community organizations read the historical version of the Saint Nicholas story and complete a small community service project.
“Imparting the lesson of com-munity service is vital to any age group,” said Lisa Jakel, Director of Development for Trinity Lutheran School. “Our seventh and eighth graders enjoyed watching the students open their presents, working with them on their ser-vice projects, and learning about the true meaning of the season.”

Prepared as a public service to promote better dental health. From the office of: Chase Baker, D.D.S.,
3515 Ella Blvd., 713-682-4406.
Chase Baker, D.D.S.
F ortunately — or unfortunately — you no longer have any problems with your upper teeth. They were all removed
some years ago and you now wear a full upper denture. Does this mean you can forget about visiting your dentist regularly? Not if you value your health and future comfort!
Regular appointments with the dentist are as important for denture-wearers as for people with natural teeth. The mouth tissue, bony ridges and gums that support dentures are constantly undergoing changes and may impair the dacentures’ proper function. Even such general health ail-ments as vitamin deficiencies, extended illness, drug therapy, weight loss, diabetes or high blood pressure can change the way dentures fit.
Ill-fitting dentures can seriously damage the mouth, caus-ing abrasions, bruises, inflammation and rapid destruction of the supporting bone. Prolonged irritation of this kind may result in the development of tumors.
It is important to have a dental checkup at least once a year to insure that your dentures are properly adjusted and that your mouth is in good health.

Helping local pets is a ‘SNAP’ awayBy Kim Hogstrom
For The Leader
How many times have you driven down Ella Blvd., Yale, Main (or fill in the blank) and noticed a mangy, free-roam-ing dog? How often have you wondered why whomever owns of that skinny, beat-up cat on your block, doesn’t feed it enough?
The fact is, humans domes-ticated cats about 3,000 years ago, and dogs, about 10,000 years ago. In that time, we have allowed them to breed at a rate greater than we can care for them, leaving many without homes. How many unwanted pets are there in Houston?
“It’s really hard to determine that, because most of the area shelters will not release num-bers on the animals they kill each year,” Laura Walsh, Di-rector of Development for the Houston’s Spay-Neuter Assis-tance Program, or SNAP, said. “A safe estimate would place the number at 70 or 75,000 pets a year - or about 226 a day are put to death.”
SNAP has been an active member of the Heights com-munity for 14 years. The agen-cy’s mission is to to prevent
the suffering and death of cats and dogs due to overpopula-tion and preventable diseases, especially in low-income areas. SNAP neuters about 37,000 pets annually.
“Our vision at SNAP is A world where there are no homeless dogs and cats,” Walsh said. “and the first step to a no-kill world, is no births.”
The program offers male neutering for $35 and female spaying for $55, as well as ba-sic wellness care, saving com-munity members sometimes hundreds of dollars. Addition-ally, SNAP offers these servic-es free of charge to families on government assistance, thus removing the financial obsta-
cle to responsible pet owner-ship. SNAP also has a mobile surgical truck to help get their services to areas where people may rely on public transport, which will not allow pets.
“We have started targeting areas with large numbers of feral cat colonies, or ‘com-munity cats,’ as we call them,” Walsh said. “We took our mo-bile spay and neuter truck and neutered 18,000 cats in the 77087 zip code alone.”
Notably, these cats, some-times called Trap-Neuter-Release, or TNR, are easy to identify. Male or female, the tip of the left ear is removed in the last step of the surgery.
“I donate to SNAP whenever I can, and volunteer as much
as my time allows,” Heights resident Ria van Dright said. She has been volunteering in animal welfare for 11 years, and is highly regarded by all.
“It is important to me be-cause I think the way to stop the overwhelming numbers of intake of unwanted pets in shelters, is to stop the birth of them in the first place.”
The SNAP Wellness Center is located at 1801 Durham Drive, Suite 1. Donations and volunteers are always wel-comed. For more information go to www.snapus.org.

Historically, dogs and cats have been our constant companions that we have cared for, but what have we gotten in return? Dogs obviously are great for security as police, military or guard dogs and even a tiny Chihuahua will sound the alarm that sends a burglar elsewhere. There are even search and rescue dogs, bomb and drug detectors and even cancer snif ng dogs. Seeing eye and other disability assist dogs help many people to better lives. Cats and dogs help keep unwanted guests out of our homes. Snakes, skunks, rats, bats and other wildlife are kept at bay to protect us from Rabies, Leptospirosis and other dangers. More importantly pets offer constant companionship and greater overall health. Studies show that pets drop our blood pressure and stress hormones. They improve our immunity and chances of surviving heart attacks or other debilitating diseases. They inspire us to get off the couch for a brisk walk or healthy exercise and play. Pets make us more social and give us a purpose in life because they remind us how to care for and love others, no matter what.
Who is Taking Care of Whom?
George Riadi, manager of Chris’ Alterations and Dry Cleaning on 1765 West 34th St., has been in the business of clothes since he was 8 years old.
The 61-year-old business owner has worked from the lower end of clothing to the higher end, and first began working in factories and other establishments while living in Israel. He has been living in the US for more than 30 years, and recently began manag-ing Chris’ Alterations several months ago.
“Chris Balat, the original owner, is actually my brother-in-law,” Riadi said. “That’s part of the reason why I kept the name.”
The other reason is the rec-ognition. People have been coming to Chris’ Alterations and Dry Cleaning for many of their clothing needs, and the establishment offers dry cleaning, laundry and profes-sional alterations for clothing like suits.
“I don’t make any suits yet, although I am a tailor,” Riadi said. “My intention is, in the
future, to be able to make cus-tom suits, but that requires materials like fabric, machines and other things so I’m not in a position to start something like that now.”
Riadi called working with clothing his passion, and has experience working with dresses, menswear and all kinds of other dresses, coats and ties. Part of his biggest motivation has been the feel-ing that comes with people who are thrilled withhis work.
“I love what I do,” Riadi said. “It’s not just for the money. A lot of people keep coming back and we’re getting some new customers. The recep-tion has all been very positive. It makes people happy to get something fixed quickly.”
While Riadi said he has never owned a business in the US, the older tailor called it a “learning experience.”
“I’m kind of going slowly and I know next year will be much easier for me,” Riadi said.

Thank you so much
On Saturday, Dec. 6, THE LEADER celebrated its 60th birthday with a community event that entertained more than 700 people and gave children a chance to eat a hamburger, play in the snow, pet live animals, jump on moon walks and even visit with Santa.
THE LEADER was able to make this a free event for families only because of local businesses that supported us and, in turn, supported the people in our community.
We’d like to thank our major sponsors one more time.
When local businesses like thesesupport the community, we hope our readers will take the time to support
our local businesses.
Thank you, again.
