Racing toward preventative care
CEO Dr. Mark Ciota is leading 2 hospitals during a transition By Adam Harringa

D
r. Mark Ciota loves NASCAR, but he has never been to a race. He attended an Indianapolis 500 race once, but after working 90 to 100 hours a week, he has little time to watch the sport on TV, let alone take a crosscountry trip to an auto-racing event. But as the CEO of Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea and Austin, and as an orthopedic surgeon in Albert Lea, he is perfectly fine with that. He’s too busy guiding the local medical center through one of the
most transformative periods in the country’s recent medical history. Ciota started with the Mayo Clinic Health System in 1995 as an orthopedic surgeon in Albert Lea. He became that hospital’s medical director in 2001, and was promoted to chief executive officer in 2004, all the while working as a surgeon. Then, in March 2012, he was named CEO of both Austin and Albert Lea locations, 10 months ahead of those hospitals’ merger. Now, working 12 to 14 hours a day, six days a week — plus being on call every other night — he’s focused on implementing a team-
based approach to health care as the Affordable Care Act, also called Obamacare, takes effect. Add to that the merger of the Austin and Albert Lea hospitals, Austin’s $28-million expansion and Mayo Clinic Health System’s furthered partnership with Mayo Clinic in Rochester, and his plate is full. “I do enjoy what I do, and I certainly wouldn’t work that many hours if I didn’t enjoy it,” Ciota said. Eventually he’ll slow down, he said — at age 50, he can’t keep up the pace he was at 10 or 15 years ago. “But I still enjoy it so much that I think the hours are worth it,” he added.
Since the Austin and Albert Lea locations have transitioned from an affiliation with Mayo Clinic to a full partnership, doctors have reaped the benefits of a larger knowledge base, access to patient medical records throughout the system and the elimination of redundancies like repeated blood work or X-rays, as all locations use the same equipment. One of the larger issues during the change, however, is patient access — or wait time — to see a doctor. While the medical center has hired more physicians

After that, he enjoys watching NASCAR and playing the EA Sports’ NASCAR video game. Background: Ciota is leading the local medical center through myriad changes, from a merger of the Albert Lea and Austin locations and an increased partnership with Mayo Clinic, to a team-based health care approach as the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented.
New model encourages doctors to keep patients healthy By Sarah Stultz
sarah.stultz@albertleatribune.com
Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea and Austin is in the early stages of rolling out a new care model. Called the Mayo Model of Community Care, it addresses a projected growing shortage of physicians combined with an increase in health care needs. Tammy Kritzer, operations administrator for Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea and Austin, said in two to three years, all Mayo community medical centers will have implemented the care model. “We want to provide outstanding care to the
residents of our communities, but we want to do it in a way that bends the cost curve,” Kritzer said. “We need to figure out a way to deliver care in a manner that is less expensive than it is today, and we believe the way to do that is to embrace care team levels.” Under the model, a physician will oversee a team of caregivers such as nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, dietitians and other health care workers. Instead of always meeting with a physician, a patient may meet with any of the other health care workers, sometimes more than one depending on the need.
The idea is that a care team would know patients better and there would be consistent care because more than one person understands the patient’s issues. “It’s all around the patient experience,” Kritzer said. “We know that team-based care will be part of our future.” The hospitals have worked on implementing the changes and a couple of pilot care teams have already begun in Austin. The hospital hopes to learn from these teams and in the next two to three years begin care teams in all departments in both locations, she said. 4Model, Page 4

things you didn’t know about Cuban food
By Tim Engstrom
The Cuban Island Restaurant opened in October and since then word has spread about the quality of the cuisine. Owner Lyan Martinez escaped Cuba eight years ago on a small boat. He and others didn’t head north across the Straits of Florida like most refugees from the communistcontrolled island. They headed south out of the Gulf of Batabano and then westward across the Caribbean Sea seeking Mexico. Why? Cuban authorities patrol waters to the north more than waters to the south. However, the trip to Florida is 90 miles. The trip to Mexico is 300 miles. He said they were afloat for eight days before being picked up by a Mexican vessel, then he spent time in a Mexican
It’s in the magazine! Read this and similar stories about Albert Lea in the coming March/April version of Albert Lea Magazine. jail before securing his release through his father in Florida. He eventually made his way to relatives in Albert Lea, where he dreamed of opening up a restaurant. The Cuban Island Restaurant is his American dream. Martinez shared five interesting aspects of Cuban cuisine: • It’s not spicy hot like Mexican food. It has its own distinct flavors, like sweet, salty or citrusy — or all three. “Lots of Mexicans come in here to eat Cuban food for the first time and say, ‘Oh, it’s good. It’s different.’”
• Cuban food has more in common with Caribbean cuisine than with Mexican. People won’t find burritos and tacos. They will find dishes like “old clothes,” which is shreds of meat and vegetables that resemble strips of rags, as well as fricasseed food — cut into pieces and stewed in gravy. • The food at his restaurant is made with allnatural spices. Nothing is premixed from a can. It’s all made from scratch. • Cuban food typically has a different sauce for each meat, rather one sauce for everything. He said it is how they make food at home. • As a result of being the first and last colony of Spain in the Caribbean, Cuba produced cuisine highly influenced by Spain, but it fused it with African and Caribbean food.

Ashley Meyer, 24, of Ellendale set up her business, Meyer Textile Co. in a woodshop at her home. Meyer opened her business in 2011. Brandi Hagen
Apron central
Ellendale woman starts her own handmade textile company By Brandi Hagen
brandi.hagen@albertleatribune.com
Three styles of aprons hang on the wall of Meyer Textile Co.
A 24-year-old hairstylist from Elk River found her niche after she moved to the town of Ellendale in 2011. Ashley Meyer was looking to do something different and start her own business. She decided she would make aprons. “You wouldn’t think aprons would make a living,” Meyer said. But she discovered they could. “They are a functional, overlooked thing that is a huge part of many different jobs,” Meyer said. “I make mostly for restaurants, so it’s something that’s always in demand.” Living on a small hobby farm and having been familiar with a sewing machine
since she was a young girl, she set up her business, Meyer Textile Co., in the woodshop on the property. The woodshop complete with a red plaid love seat and a wood stove is a fitting setting, Meyer said, because her aprons are known to be simple, rustic and authentic. “This is more my style than the flowery, frilly things,” Meyer said. Meyer sells her work at the farmers market in Owatonna and also has a shop on Etsy. Most of her aprons, she said, are on the East and West coasts and abroad in countries like Australia, France, Norway and the United Kingdom. There is a coffee shop in Minnesota that has them, too. Sixth Engine, a restaurant in Washington, D.C., sparked Meyer’s involve-

ment in wholesale and selling to restaurants. “Etsy is good for international shopping,” Meyer said. “I probably never would have thought about restaurants if they didn’t approach me. I’m glad they did.” Meyer estimated over the last couple of years she has made about 3,000 aprons. “Right now I’m turning down work. I’m full to the brim on orders,” Meyer said. “That gives me confirmation people like what I’m doing.” She gets a lot of encouraging feedback on her aprons, too. One reviewer on Etsy wrote, “They are almost too fabulous to get dirty.” Recently, Martha Stewart Living held its second-ever American Made reader’s choice contest. Meyer submitted her
work, and even though she didn’t win, she had so many votes that the magazine put a blurb about her work in an ad campaign for Toytota. It’s not the only publication she’s been in, either. Meyer’s work was also in a United Kingdom publication, Sweet Paul. “I feel like I’m flying by the seat of my pants,” Meyer said. “It feels pretty good to have a profiting business at 24.” Meyer said she has about five different styles of aprons that she makes, and the patterns can change with the seasons. She has a modern take on them and works to make them figure flattering. Being a crafty person, Meyer said when she can’t find just the right fabric for a job, she 4Aprons, Page 8

Model: Focus in new health system is on building teams led by physicians Continued from Page 1 “It’s not going to be like a light switch though,” she said. So what should patients do to get ready for the changes? • First, Kritzer encouraged people to establish a relationship with a primary provider. She said some people go to urgent care or the emergency room every time they need care, instead of establishing a relationship with a primary provider and going to that doctor. “When people have a
relationship with their provider, they tend to have a better outcome,” she said. The doctor gets to know the patient better, and the patient trusts the doctor’s advice more. • Once patients develop a relationship with a primary provider and the primary care teams are implemented, there will be a group of two or three people they will most often interact with. “Physicians are in charge but may not always see the
patient,” she said. For example, Kritzer said, an 80-year-old patient who takes 20 medications and has six chronic health care conditions will be approached much differently than a 12-year-old with an earache. Depending on the needs for the day, the patients would see different members of the team. The 80-year-old might see a pharmacist, while the 12-year-old might see a nurse practitioner.
• To improve communication between patients and health care providers, Mayo Clinic Health System rolled out a new place online where patients can sign in and perform tasks such as making appointments and seeing records and results. Patients can also communicate with their providers and

Professions of the past By Ed Shannon Photos courtesy of the Freeborn County Historical Museum
Every community a century ago had a telephone exchange or switchboard where an operator would become the link between the person making the call and the number desired. This photo was taken in Emmons. The name of the operator is unknown.
This photo of George Boyum was taken in the family’s tailor shop on West Clark Street on Feb. 28, 1977, the last day of business. This was also one of the last of the city’s tailor shops. Tailors once made clothing to fit from the raw fabric materials. Now tailoring focuses more on making clothing alterations.
The S.O. Severson Blacksmith Shop was at 109 S. Newton Ave. in 1913. The forge isn’t really visible. However, the anvil, an essential item of equipment for blacksmiths, is visible. Also dominating the scene in his shop are a multitude of horseshoes created by Severson and some of the tools he used in his occupation.
Back in 1913 the Albert Lea Tribune was located in the building at the corner of West College Street and South Broadway Avenue and across from the courthouse block and the Broadway Theater. This photo was taken in the composing room when the type was set by hand. Now this process had been replaced by computers.
Delivering milk to homes around the city was once an interesting part of local life. The last name of this milk man is Hansen. When this photo was taken on East First Street is unknown. According to many milk men who reminisced about the past, the horse pulling the wagon knew the route and just where to stop so each delivery to a home could be made.
Ciota: Prevention is key to outcomes Continued from Page 1 and is improving wait time, it’s still not where it needs to be, Ciota said. He attributes that to a national shortage of family practitioners. “We need the community to understand what our issues are, and what we’re doing to improve them,” Ciota said. “Part of that is the communication to the community.” Ciota is optimistic about another change — the switch from pay-peruse care to the teambased approach. With the old system, there weren’t many incentives for doctors to focus on preventative care or keeping patients out of the doctor’s office, he said. Now, the more patients a team can care for, the more they will be compensated.
Before, “if you went to the doctor 10 times, you got 10 bills,” Ciota said. “Now if your team is responsible for 2,000 people, we would pay you this. If your team is responsible for 4,000 people, we would probably pay you more.” So if a physician team has more of its diabetic patients under control and out of the hospital, for example, it can handle a larger patient load. With the team approach, patients’ face time with doctors should also be reduced, Ciota said. If a patient needs a fourth or fifth refill of a prescription, they may just talk to a pharmacist, or communicate electronically. Or a nurse could handle other routine services.
“You may see a physician if you need to, but it may not always be the same one,” Ciota said. “And I think Americans are going to struggle with that.” No one can be certain all the ways the Affordable Care Act will affect the health system, Ciota said. But the whole idea, he said, is to keep people healthy. “And health care has never done that in the past,” he said. For now, the constant changes will keep Ciota plenty busy. But in the off chance he finds time on his hands someday, maybe he could end up at a NASCAR race watching his favorite driver, Jeff Gordon. More likely, though, he’ll have to settle for watching him on TV.

Aprons: Expand or raise prices?

Continued from Page 3 hand-dyes her own. Other times her fabrics come from other Etsy sellers or Jo-Ann Fabric. Meyer has added screen printing and hopes to expand Meyer Textile Co. to have a retail store and also to accommodate the incoming orders. “I really have no choice but to expand or I’ll have to raise my prices,” Meyer said. She is also in the process of starting a second business, White Barn Merchantile. White Barn Merchantile, named after the barn in which she works, will be an online shop where Meyer will buy wholesale and resell it. “I have a lot of dreams,” Meyer said. “Making aprons is awesome, but I like making all kinds of things.” As far as making time for those dreams, Meyer isn’t concerned. “I’ll find it somewhere,” she said. And with the second business and screen printing, friend, Michael Haglund, will join Meyer. “I needed help, and he likes that kind of thing, too,” Meyer said. Starting her own business wasn’t too difficult because while she was a hairstylist, she was also a salon manager. And now, she can get advice from other sellers on Etsy. “For the most part I’m pretty headstrong on doing my own thing,” Meyer said. The most daunting part for the young business owner is the bookkeeping and not knowing what her next paycheck will be. “It’s a huge risk to not know where your next paycheck is coming from,” Meyer said. “But it’s totally worth it.” Does she miss hairstyling? No. “This is better,” Meyer said. Meyer’s shop can be found on Etsy and Facebook by searching Meyer Textile Co. The aprons range in price from $38 to $60. Her website is meyertextileco.com.
