Patient centered care Memorial Hermann Northwest Cancer Center offers variety of high quality treatments, screenings for patients Memorial Hermann For The Leader Clara Cook Lambert offers a unique perspective to patients at Memorial Hermann Cancer CenterNorthwest. “I was a patient and now I’m on the Cancer Center team as a volunteer,� Lambert said. “Our goal is to make treatment less stressful and as easy as possible for our patients.� Lambert battled and beat lung cancer at the Center, located on the Memorial Hermann Northwest Hospital Campus, in 2009 and has spent the last two years enthusiastically volunteering there to help others do the same. The 68-year-old former fashion director is nearly six years cancer-free and is a “Survivor! Survivor! Survivor!� as is stated on the shirt she frequently wears while volunteering at Memorial Hermann. The support Lambert now provides to patients was made possible because of the expert care she received years earlier. “I can’t imagine I would have received better care anywhere else in the world than I did here,� she said. From routine cancer screenings to

complex treatment, the Center offers world-class skill, leading-edge technology and the most modern care available. “The people of the Greater Heights need to look no further than their own community for expert cancer care,� said Theodore Tenczynski, M.D., an oncologist affiliated with the Center. “Our staff is dedicated to providing optimal care and our imaging studies and treatment programs – specifically breast cancer – have
been recognized for maintaining high standards of practice.� The Center is accredited by the Commission on Cancer for maintaining high-quality, patient-centered care with a continuing focus on evaluation to ensure the best service possible. The full-service breast center has its own dedicated radiologist, MRI and 3-D ultrasound capabilities, and is accredited as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. The
Center is also accredited as a National Associate Program for Breast Centers by the American College of Surgeons for voluntarily committing to providing the best in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. The continuum of diagnostic, treatment and support services for patients includes imaging; lung and high-risk breast cancer screening programs; a genetics clinic; surgical, medical and radiation oncology; plastic and reconstructive surgery; palliative care and hospice; and an in-patient oncology unit. Patients also have their own oncology nurse navigator, an expert clinician who helps patients through treatment. Several support programs and a dedicated medical and volunteer staff, including Lambert, assist patients on their journey to recovery. The breast prosthesis program and genetic counseling clinic are complemented by several free programs sponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS), which has its own onsite resource center. The ACS estimates that 78 percent of the 100,000 new cancer diagnoses in Texas this year will be accounted for by those age 55 or older and that the most frequent new cancer cases will be breast, prostate, lung and colorectal. The Center is located at 1635 North Loop West, on the 610 service road just before Ella Boulevard. To schedule a screening, call 713-8673350, or go online to memorialhermann.org/northwest.

Eddie Battenfield says his uncle, Eddie Holik is always the first one to go out and help people. Since being stricken with an illness and requiring a heart transplant, Battenfield says it still took some convincing to let others help him for a change. “They’re stubborn in that way,� Battenfield said of his aunt and uncle. “When you work as hard as he does, you don’t want to take a lot. They’re not the type you can just hand them an envelope to help them out.� However, Holik is facing large fees as he sits in the ICU at Memorial Hermann’s Heart and Vascular Institute, waiting for a heart transplant. In February, Holik contracted a virus which eventually caused congestive heart failure and his family continues to deal with the emotional and physical toll of playing the waiting game. “He’s 47 years old, so he’s young enough and strong enough to have no other real pre-existing conditions,� Battenfield said. “Obviously, that’s still not an easy road to take.� Holik and his wife Anne Holik are Leader-area natives, and both graduated from St. Pius X High School in 1986. They have one daughter at Oak Forest Elementary School and a son at Frank Black Middle School, and Holik currently runs his own landscaping company, Florascapes, in the Heights. More recently, Holik helped redo the gardens at Oak Forest Elementary, Battenfield said. “With him working in landscaping, a few of his brothers have pitched in to drive some of the workers around but he is clearly not able to go out and do the things he used to do,� Battenfield said. “We’re looking to try to help him out with all of the expenses he has to cover with less income coming in.� After discussions with friends, old classmates and members of the Garden Oaks Baptist Church, Battenfield and others
While there might be plenty of personal chefs in Houston, one Leader area chef is carving out her own niche in the field. Karuna’s Healthy Cuisine and Ayurvedic Care is the brain child of Karuna Diedericks, a personal chef and caterer of vegan and vegetarian cuisine. For those wondering about Ayurveda – it is the traditional medicine of India dating back 5,000 years. According to WebMD it is “based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit.� As an Ayurvedic practitioner who earned her degree from the California College of Ayurveda in 2007, Diedericks provides dietary and lifestyle counseling according to the principles of Ayurveda. Diedericks has been cooking professionally for seventeen years and in Houston, she has run her personal chef service since 2011. She doesn’t just do Indian food though. Although the meals are vegan and vegetarian, she can cook Italian, American, as well as other ethnic cuisines. There are menu suggestions on her website – examples include roasted vegetable lasagna, Greek moussaka and Walnut Pesto Pasta – but Diedericks said she works with each individual to accommodate a family’s specific taste, needs and dietary restrictions. “Everything is made from scratch: sauces, specialty breads, dressings, using whole and natural ingredients,� Diedericks said. The best part for busy families is that Diedericks goes to homes to cook meals for families. “I do the shopping, preparation, cooking and cleanup,� she said. “Full-service provides 3 to 4 meals for a family of four. I also do catering for parties and other events. I deliver all catered food.� A native Cape Town, South Africa, Diedericks’ experience in the field goes back the time when she operated a vegetarian kiosk at the University of Cape
Town. This job led to several opportunities to cater or sell food at health fairs, cultural events and festivals. Later, she began teaching cooking classes too. “The biggest events I catered in South Africa were the World Parliament of Religion and The UN Global World Summit,� she said. It’s not just adults in Houston who benefit from her expertise. Diedericks offers Food for Life Kids classes, which teach children ages 9-12 in a hands on way about whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. Diedericks said that the curriculum empowers children with the knowledge and skills they need to establish healthy habits to carry them well into adulthood.

As of May 5, the group has raised $26,755 out of $100,000. “He’s always the first one to step up and be a giving kind of person,� Battenfield said. “But it’s been like a roller coaster and it’s such a mental game for him to be waiting on a heart transplant like this.� For more information and donation opportunities, visit https:// www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/xhb8/eddie-amp-anne-holik

In 1908, Anna Jarvis launched a nationwide campaign for observance of Mother’s Day to honor her late mother, a community health advocate. More than 100 years later, the history of Mother’s Day is a reminder that we should not only celebrate with gifts and cards, but also with meaningful conversations to remind the women in our lives to take care of their health and well-being. Angela A. Shippy, M.D., an internal medicine specialist and Chief Quality Officer at Memorial Hermann offers five tips for discussion this Mother’s Day – Sunday, May 10 – on women’s health and wellness: Heart Disease: Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States and is often diagnosed too late for adequate treatment. Women also don’t always experience chest pain, a leading indicator of a heart attack, which underscores the importance of routine heart health checkups. When’s the last time you saw a doctor about your heart? Breast Cancer: Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death for women; however, it is treatable if detected early enough. Regular mammograms and self-breast exams are critical to detecting cancer early on. How long has it been since your last mammogram? Osteoporosis: Women’s bones are strongest around age 30, but begin to lose density as they age, with postmenopausal women most at risk of developing osteoporosis. A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D can decrease the risk of osteoporosis, the underlying cause of 1.5 million bone fractures each year. Are you getting enough calcium? Autoimmune Diseases: More than 80 serious chronic illnesses are considered autoimmune diseases, including
diabetes, lupus and thyroid disease. About 75 percent of autoimmune diseases occur in women, and symptoms are often ignored. Knowing and understanding family history can help medical practitioners provide better care. Have you had your symptoms checked out by a doctor? General Women’s Health: Simple measures can often make a substantial impact on a woman’s health. Receiving regular pap smears, colonoscopies, teeth cleanings and mole checks, along with a well-balanced diet and regular exercise are simple and important measures all women can take to live healthier lives. Are you seeing all of your doctors on a regular basis?

Leader readers share thoughts on mothers, motherhood By Kim Hogstrom For The Leader With Mother’s Day just around the corner, some Leader readers were kind enough to share their own experiences and wisdom shared with them by their mothers. Oak Forest resident Katy Cummings Boulte will soon open a commercial kitchen on Crosstimbers Street near N. Shepherd Drive for a business called Sconetastic offering hand-made English scones. Boulte, whose 74-year-old mother will be helping in the business, reflects on the holiday from the perspective of a daughter. “They say there’s no other love like a mother has for her children,” said Boulte, “So I would say Mothers Day is a celebration of true love – a mother’s completely selfless love. My mom says ‘I love you’ more than you’ll ever know and I think that’s true. She really does.” Be A Champion, Inc., located on Antoine Dr. is a nonprofit agency that has served the needs of more than one million of Houston’s at-risk youth through the years. Former University of Houston football player and Founder Jaron Barganier conceived it
by drawing a diagram of his idea on a napkin while having dinner with his mom in 2001. She continues to play a staring role in his life. “A family is defined by its belief system,” said Barganier. “Dr. Doris Forte, better known as Mommy, has instilled a set of core values in me that I carry around everyday. As a family man now, I value the relationship my wife has with our two children. It reminds me of my childhood as they absorb their mother’s every word. A mom is tough, loving, and caring all in the same breath. I would put my mother against any mom in the world. She carried me, nurtured me and guides me through life. For that, I am forever grateful.” Timbergrove resident Holly Clapham is the mother of two youngsters, a 1-yearold daughter and 4-year-old son. She is also the Senior Vice President of Marketing for the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau. Under Clapham’s watch, Houston’s tourism is braking records and we have become America’s “it” city. She is also the epitome of today’s hard working mom. “Before I was a mother, I was only focused on my

career,” Clapham said. “After becoming a mother, I realized that it is the most important job I could have and certainly the most fulfilling. Having my son and daughter has made me a better person in general. I could not imagine life without William and Charley, or “Chuck” as we call her.” Michael Bybee is the Sr. Public Relations Manager for Comcast located in near north Houston. He is also the father of two young daughters who are the center of his universe. Bybee views Mother’s Day as
We Can Make It Special For Her
a time to remember all the women who have contributed to his being. “Mother’s Day has always been a special time for me to celebrate the amazing impact the mothers in my life have made,” By bee said. “I reflect on how truly lucky I’ve been to have these strong, passionate and loving women in my life. Now, as a father of two young daughters, I do my best every day to ensure they grow up inspired and surrounded by that same love.”
to Mom, with love.

What is Canine Lepto? Leptospirosis is a bacteria that dogs can acquire from contaminated water and/or exploring areas where wildlife have eliminated their urine. Common carriers of Lepto are other dogs, raccoons, opossums and rats. Many other animals can be affected, including people and squirrels. Clinically in dogs we see acute liver and kidney failure with Lepto. Often there is fever, vomiting and many other symptoms. Diagnosis involves blood panels, urinalysis and state lab testing. This takes time and cannot always conďŹ rm Lepto on the initial testing. Treatment must be quick and aggressive before permanent organ damage occurs and the dog dies. Why are Lepto cases increasing? Are we encroaching on wildlife areas more? Are we testing and diagnosing more often? Are new Lepto serovars emerging? Are we vaccinating less than years past? The vaccine lasts one year (at best). ONLY your vet should give it after evaluating your dogs individual needs and exposure risk. There may be some reasons why some dogs should not receive this as there is with other vaccines. All pets should be observed at home after any vaccine is given. Unlikely but possible adverse reactions can occur especially if vaccines are not administered professionally. Again, ground water and wildlife (especially urban rats) exposure constitute the greatest but not only risk. Warm spring rains and summer oods increase the incidence of Lepto in dogs who then spread it to others.

Susan Sessions Tutoring challenges, enriches kids
Home
After two years in the Heights tutoring local students at 201 East 9th St., Susan Sessions said there is no sign of stopping for her tutoring business. Sessions has been an educator for over 33 years and is retired from Harvard Elementary. She has lived in the Heights for the last 13 years and offers over 20 years of tutoring experience, starting from humble beginnings at the kitchen table in her own home. “During the year I retired in 2011, it was me and three kids with a wait list,” Sessions said. “I thought, why do I have a wait list? Why don’t I see if another teacher wants to work with me.” Her tutoring sessions grew from there, eventually encompassing her kitchen table, dining table and TV room. Shortly thereafter, Sessions’ neighbors offered their house for rent after they departed for Malaysia and still Susan Sessions Tutoring continued its expansion. She eventually turned to the First Baptist Church of the Heights two years ago. “I went from my one table of three to 13 teachers on staff,” Sessions said. “I have retired teachers with many years of teaching experience and a few that are currently teaching. I wasn’t able to offer one-on-one instruction but now I can.” Sessions offers tutoring programs for children as young as 4 years old and for youngsters in their high school years. She offers tutoring for children needing help with basic skills in reading, writing, math and other subjects and also offers opportunities for enrichment for students who might not be challenged enough in school. After enrolling in tutoring, Sessions works to help customize an individual tutoring program based on input from parents, teachers and other testing results, Sessions said. Classes are held during the school year Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and summer tutoring is available. “Tutoring to me is so important because it gives kids a chance to build their foundation, the encouragement they need, their selfesteem, and gives a ‘you can do it,’ attitude that carries over into the classroom,” Sessions said. Jeannie Moss, like other parents, heard about Susan Sessions Tutoring through word of mouth. Her son in eighth grade had a friend attending tutoring there, and her 11-year-old daughter, Averyana, attends for enrichment. “A few years ago I went back to work full-time and this just sort of gave me something to give me an extra level of comfort,” Moss said. “Two days a week, she comes here and I know she’s getting great attention and getting her homework done.” For more information, visit www.susansessionstutoring.com or call 832-287-5424.

Contributed Photo Melody Easter, a senior at Lutheran High North, will be honored this month at the Greater Heights Area Chamber of Commerce Education Luncheon.
The Greater Heights Area Chamber of Commerce awards scholarship For The Leader Lutheran High North student Melody Easter will spend part of her summer preparing for a big climate change as she anticipates moving to Nebraska in August to begin her college career. As a recent scholarship recipient from The Greater Heights Area Chamber of Commerce, Melody is very optimistic about her future. Describing herself as an independent individual and “good representation of the student life”, Melody keeps busy with volleyball, basketball and softball all while serving on the student council and maintains a 4.2 GPA. However, it should be noted that the road has not been easy. Managing to make it through the divorce of her parents and the recent death of her mother, who serves as her role model, Melody knows all too well the meaning of pushing through trials and tribulations. When asked about her reaction to the news that she won, Melody stated that she was ecstatic to find out that she had been awarded the scholarship. She realizes that money is a big aspect of her college career and appreciates the assistance. “It is a lot of hard work,” Melody says as she stresses the importance of staying involved while keeping up on your studies. Speaking from firsthand experience Melody feels that it is important to stay focused and understands that students may
face a lot of struggles. However, she advises to her peers “rely on God in everything you do and He’ll get you through it.” At this time, Melody is unsure about her major; however it is between forensics or optometry. Melody feels that this scholarship has given her the opportunity have a little extra breathing room financially while in college as she embarks on this new journey. With plans to attend Concordia College, Melody leaves with a very optimistic and positive attitude.
New
A message she hopes to convey to other young people who have dreams to succeed: “It doesn’t matter what happens, it’s how you take it and what you do with it, that’s the important thing,” Melody said. With this outlook on life this 18 year old is well on her way. Melody along with several other students will be honored and awarded their scholarships on May 18, 2015 at The Greater Heights Area Chamber of Commerce Education Luncheon which will be held at Sheraton Brookhollow.
