St. Luke’s breaks ground on Sunnybrook campus

By Dave Dreeszen

Journal Business editor‌

St. Luke’s formally broke ground June 12 on a $26.7 million medical campus in Morningside that the health care system anticipates will increase its outpatient services by a third.

Completion of the Sunnybrook Medical Plaza is scheduled for 2013. When finished, the two-story building will be home to various outpatient services, including a new primary care clinic with obstetrics, urgent care clinic, cardiology,

digestive health, lab, imaging, infusion, p h a r m a cy, m a te r n a l fetal medic i n e f o r Peter h i g h - r i s k Thoreen pregnancies and pulmonary care.

Once up and running, all St. Luke’s medical professionals will provide care there.

W.A. Klinger is the general contractor for the project, which is being built on

Holzman Trucking Co. Since 1983

17 acres next to Sunnybrook Plaza, a commercial and shopping center that features big-box retailers Target and Lowe’s. The new Morningside campus is about a 15-minute drive at 2720 Stone Park Boulevard on the north end of town.

“The Sunnybrook area provides a unique opportunity for St. Luke’s to offer quality outpatient services to a vibrant area of town,” Peter Thoreen, president and CEO of St. Luke’s Health System, said in a statement.

“We anticipate a 30 percent growth in outpatient services over the next 10 years.”

St. Luke’s has said it will initially occupy about 60 percent of the 86,000 square feet of feet on two levels. St. Luke’s continues to have discussions with specialty medical practices interested in leasing other space. Some space will be reserved for future development opportunities.

Employing more than 1,200 people, St. Luke’s cares for nearly 85,000 patients each year.

Following the naming ceremony for the USS Sioux City, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus greeted members of the audience, including many veterans.

was placed on a stand beside the stage, Semple was impressed.

“It’s beautiful. Look at the lines,” he said.

Kay Rasmus of Sioux City also arrived early. Her husband was playing trombone with the All-America Concert Band that started warming up in the balcony an hour before the event.

Rasmus’ grandson is in his third year at the naval academy in Annapolis and Rasmus sported a blue Navy

windbreaker.

“It is really an honor for Sioux City,” Rasmus said.

“They chose us over Des Moines or the bigger places.

Sometimes up here in Northwest Iowa we’re forgotten.”

Mabus said he chose to name the ship after Sioux City in order to honor the values and naval tradition of the city.

“One would think we’re as far away from an ocean as you can get in Sioux City,” U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said. “But we have many members of the Navy here.”

The USS Sioux City will be built in Marinette, Wis., beginning in 2013 and should

be on the water by 2016.

The vessel is a littoral combat ship, one of 20 that the Navy plans to build. It is a fast, modular ship that Mabus called a “crucial part of the future of our fleet.”

“Because it is modular,

we can change the technology without building a new ship,” Mabus said. When the mission changes, the boat can be docked and the modules exchanged to prepare it for a new task.

Mabus told his Sioux

City audience that when he came into office in 2009, he wasn’t satisfied with the proposed price tag for the littoral ships and got the shipyards to compete for bids, bringing the total cost down by $2.9 billion.

“My father was one of the cheapest beings God ever put on this earth, and I am his son,” Mabus said to laughter and applause.

Not enough people get to see the navy in it’s dayto-day operations or feel a strong connection to the forces, Mabus said. By naming the new ships after American cities and towns, Mabus hopes to change that.

He challenged Sioux Cityans to “be a part of the ship’s life.”

“Make sure that when the USS Sioux City goes abroad, it takes a bit of Sioux City with it,” Mabus said.

Nick, 10, and Jake, 8, McGowan came to the ceremony with their dad, Siouxland Chamber of Commerce President Christopher, and posed for pictures with King afterwards.

“It was kind of a surprise,” Nick McGowan said. “Dad said we were going to be a part of something historic.

I thought we were going to a movie, but I’m glad we came here.”

Methods for better health in the workplace As companies search for ways to control healthcare costs, the value of keeping employees healthy has become evident. Several companies are turning to wellness coaching and wellness screening as a way to help control health insurance premiums.

There is a lot of talk about Health Coaching in the Wellness Industry today, as an Intrinsic Health Coach. I must continually practice the art of listening in order to be a good health coach. According to Christina Marshall, founder of Totally Coached, Inc., research shows that just telling people what to do does not work. What works is helping people think better about their choices and to do that a coach engages the coachee (person being coached) to think, not to listen. Intrinsic Coaching is conversation that elicits best thinking so people can create results that are important to them.

Intrinsic Coaching® builds on foundational principals, a few examples would be: • People have inherent worth and unlimited promise.

• All people are capable of change, can grow spiritually, emotionally and cognitively throughout a lifetime, and possess a vast reservoir of potential.

• Effectiveness and performance are based on

Home & Office Deb Twyford

thought processes resulting in choices that drive behaviors.

With Intrinsic Coaching® the coachee is asked to report on progress, important goals and important next steps to move forward. As intrinsic coaches we must continue to ask, What do you want that’s important to you? Some examples of typical goals are: • Eat more fruits and vegetables • Increase exercise time • Quit smoking • Decrease stress • Get seven to eight hours of sleep per night • Decrease the number of sugary drinks per day.

We as coaches want to stimulate thinking that will go on after the conversation is over. Healthy lifestyle changes do not happen overnight, this takes time and commitment. We try to encourage participants to take small steps to make big changes in their life.

By taking small steps they avoid being overwhelmed.

Wellness Screening has become very common in the workplace. Wellness Screening baseline numbers have proven to

be powerful information to get employees to make healthy lifestyle changes.

Basic wellness screens include: cholesterol and glucose check, blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, health risk appraisal and results explanation. Know your numbers, prevention is key to good health which results in dollars saved.

Other wellness screening tools may include: • Body composition • Three-minute step test • Flexibility, sit and reach • Bone density • Grip strength Most companies who provide health coaching for their employees offer a wellness screen annually, this gives employees a good idea of what they need to work on, followed by quarterly health coaching. This gives an opportunity to set three month goals. Some companies offer incentives for their employees, such as cash awards for meeting goals, monies towards gym memberships, decreased premiums on health insurance for employees meeting criteria to avoid metabolic syndrome.

For more information about Mercy Business Health Services, worksite wellness programming, contact Deb Twyford, RN, Intrinsic coach, at Worksite Wellness at 712-274-4334 or at: twyfordd@mercyhealth.com.

Tax-free shopping spree returns Iowa retailers waive sales tax on clothing, footwear priced $100 or less

By Dave Dreeszen

Business Journal editor‌

Once a year, shoppers in Iowa get a chance to expand their wardrobes without also filling government coffers.

Area retailers are bracing for a big turnout for this year’s sales tax holiday, which runs Friday, Aug. 3 and Saturday, Aug. 4. During the two-day period, retailers waive sales tax on most clothing and shoes priced below $100.

State lawmakers approved the annual early August shopping spree in 1999 to give families a break as they buy back-to-school clothes. But you don’t need school-age children to take advantage. Besides parents buying school clothes and shoes for their children, retailers say the tax-free weekend appeals to adults lookign for good deals on apparel.

The exemption applies both to the state sales tax of 5 percent, and any local option sales tax. In Woodbury County, for example, the cities and school districts each levy a 1 percent tax. With the holiday, a shopper can save a total of 7 percent, or $7, on a item priced at $100 item.

Past tax-free holidays pumped up sales for everyone from big-box retailers to mom-and-pop stores. Some merchants retailers reported increases of 20 to 30 percent, compared to sales for a typical August weekend.

Brick and mortar stores say the holiday also helps them better compete with online retailers that are not required to collect state sales tax on transactions.

Angela Miller, Wakefield, Neb., moves items on the checkout counter at Target in Sioux City during Iowa’s 2008 sales tax free holiday.

The sales tax exemption runs Friday, Aug. 3 through Saturday, Aug. 4 No sales tax, including local option sales tax, collected on sales of an article of clothing or footwear with a selling price less than $100 A store coupon or discount may be used to reduce the sales price of an item to less than $100 to qualify for the exemption When exempt and taxable items are sold together as a set, the full price is subject to sales tax if the value of the taxable items exceeds the exempt ones.

Clothing and footItems on layaway qualify for the exemption if the customer takes delivery of the merchandise during the exemption period or puts the merchandise on layaway during the exemption period, even if final payment and delivery are not made until after the sales tax holiday The total price of items advertised as “buy one, get one free” cannot be averaged so both items qualify for the exemption A customer who pays sales tax to a business on an eligible item when no tax is due must apply to the Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance for a refund Source: Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance

Doing Business in Siouxland

Nine questions with

Cindy Moser Sioux City attorney leads state bar association

By Dave Dreeszen

Business Journal editor

Cindy Moser, who has practiced law in Sioux City since 1979, recently became the president of The Iowa State Bar Association.

Moser, a partner in the Heidman Law Firm, is the 126th president of the nearly 8,200-member association, and just the third woman in the 138-year-old organization’s history to hold the top leadership position. ISBA presidents serve a one-year term.

The Business Journal recently caught up with Moser to talk about her new state leadership role, her legal career, her focus on healthcare issues, and her family and community service.

Q: When did you first think about becoming an attorney?

A: I didn’t grow up knowing I wanted to be a lawyer.

In fact, when I entered law school I knew very little about the law and even less about what it meant to be a lawyer. I received an excellent liberal arts education at Northwestern College in Orange City, but my degree in history and political science didn’t provide me with a specific set of job skills. I took the law school admission test and applied to law school largely because a college professor encouraged me to consider a career in law and it seemed like an interesting challenge. It has definitely been that!

Q: When you entered law school, how many

other women were in your class? How does that compare to today?

A: I started law school at the University of Iowa in August of 1974. There were approximately 200 students in my entering class, 20 of whom were women. That has changed dramatically in the years since. Today, women make up nearly 50 percent of most law school classes.

Q: Who are some of the individuals who have influenced your life and career?

A: I have had many wonderful role models and mentors throughout my life and career. I had excellent teachers and professors from grade school through law school.

They challenged me intellectually and academically and instilled a desire to pursue a career that would continue to provide those challenges throughout my working life.

My first job after graduating from law school was as a law clerk to the Hon. William C. Stuart, then the Chief Judge for the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Iowa.

Judge Stuart was a gifted jurist and one of the finest human beings I have had the privilege to know. I have been inspired by the dedication of many of the physicians and health care administrators with whom I work. I am fortunate to practice law in a firm of accomplished and ethical lawyers who provide outstanding service to their clients and lead by example.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, I am blessed

with a supportive and loving family who remind me daily that the truly important things in life are about more than the law.

Q: Your focus is on healthcare law. What’s your reaction to the recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 vote, to uphold the Affordable Care Act? A: Like many Americans, I was somewhat surprised by the Court’s decision, but I think the opinion clearly reflects the complexity of the issues presented by the challenge to the law.

Q: What are some of the provisions of the new law that your clients are particularly concerned about?

A: I represent hospitals, physicians and other health care providers. Although they each approach health care reform from a somewhat different perspective, I think it is fair to say that, Business Journal photo by Tim Hynds across the board, they share Sioux City attorney Cynthia Moser is shown July 11, in the law library at Heidman Law Firm. a concern that new regula- Moser is the president of the Iowa State Bar Association. tory requirements imposed by the law will create additional responsibilities that Cindy Moser divert critical dollars from BACKGROUND: Born in Belmond, Iowa, and raised most of her life in Kanawha and Orange City, the delivery of health care Iowa services to patients.

Tax: Tax-free shopping spree returns from page 10 Nebraska and southeast South Dakota another reason to shop at stores in neighboring Sioux City and other Northwest Iowa cities.

“We get a lot of people who cross over from those areas to shop here,” said Kris Walter-Wenell, senior

marketing manager for Southern Hills Mall in Sioux City.

Kim Kletschke, co-owner of Karlton’s, a downtown Sioux City clothing stores, said the tax-free holiday gives stores like his a lift during the dog days of summer.

“It’s the time of the year when things are pretty darn quiet,” Kletschke said. “It’s really in between seasons.”

Though the holiday has been around for more than a dozen years, Kletschke said it’s still one of the best kept secrets. He wants state and local leaders and the

news media could do more to promote the event, and help draw more shoppers to the stores.

“I think most of the time it’s an after the fact deal,” Kletschke said. “People hear something about it JERRY MENNENGA photos and say, ‘Oh that was go- Shoppers look over merchandise in the Sioux City Target store on Aug. 1, 2008, part of that year’s sales tax free weekend. ing on yesterday? ’”

Cross out lower back, hip and knee pain How many of you spend most of your day crossing your legs, sitting on your feet or sitting with one leg crossed? Men, do you stand with one or both of your feet toed out when standing?

A very common standing posture for men is to stand with both feet pointed to the outside. As we become overweight, this toe out posture habit becomes even more common in both men and women. Ladies also tend to stand in what I call “sexy pose,” with one foot pointed forward and the other foot pointed ninety degrees to the side with a hip shift.

Over time, these awkward posture habits can lead to increased musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) and pain risks including lower back pain, sciatica, hip or knee pain.

How does this occur?

What can I do daily at work and at home to reduce my MSD risks of having lower back, sciatica, hip or knee pain? This month’s article is all about becoming more aware of the primary postures we use daily and how to reduce the risks of pain and injury while improving your quality of life.

The more time you spend sitting with your legs crossed, sitting on your feet or standing with your toes pointed out, the more you tighten your hips’ powerful external rotator muscles such as your piriformis.

This piriformis muscle becomes shortened or tighter the longer you sit with your legs crossed, spread apart or stand in toe out postures. These awkward postures externally rotate the hip and compress the large sciatic nerve that

Business Know How ERik Nieuwenhuis

runs just below the piriformis muscle. Nerves don’t like compression forces, but they love freedom and flowing movement of the body and a good blood flow to stay healthy and avoid irritation. As the sciatic nerve gets compressed by your tight piriformis muscle, you may feel sciatic nerve pain or numbness and tingling down the back of your leg.

This significantly increases the biomechanical risks for lower back, sciatica, hip and knee pain or MSD injuries such as a sprain or strain.

The tighter your piriformis muscle and hip external rotators become, the more

your hips may lack proper hip internal rotation with everyday movements. This lack of proper hip internal rotation is one of the most common biomechanical problems leading to lower back muscle strains and ligament or joint sprains, lower back pain, hip or knee sprains and strains. This hip internal rotation is needed every time we go from sitting to standing, squat down to pick something up, lunge in any direction or go up and down stairs throughout the workday. When we lack this proper loading of the hip with hip internal rotation, our lower back, knees and hips take the added biomechanical stress. As we age, this becomes one of the leading risk factors and reasons why total joint replacements of the knees and hips are so common.

How can we reduce our risks of sciatica or lower back, hip and knee pain as we age?

When sitting, it is best to keep both of your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest if needed and to keep both of your hips slightly spread apart, ideally with your hips being slightly higher than your knees. You may extend one leg or the other, even occasionally crossing your legs for a short period of time.

Try to limit your time spent crossing your legs, sitting on your feet or sitting with both legs spread wide apart to slow the aging process and greatly reduce the daily wear and tear to your joints.

Perform the “Sitting Piriformis Stretch” one to two times per day with a three to five second hold for one to two repititions. This WorkSmart stretch will

reverse and help counteract these awkward sitting and standing posture habits, reducing sciatic nerve compression and greatly reducing the risks for pain and stiffness.

This stretch is performed by sitting up tall and crossing your right leg over your left knee to stretch the right side. Turn your body to the right and gently pull your right knee up towards your left shoulder (opposite side) and hold for three to five seconds, repeating one to two times. Then, repeat other side. You will want to perform this WorkSmart stretch more often daily to the side that you find to be tighter while performing this stretch.

When you are sitting, try to sit with both feet flat

Siouxland Business Journal, July 2012

Moser: Nebraska’s wind energy losing steam state bar, one growing crisis is small town lawyers retiring, with few willing to take their place.

What’s the solution?

A: There is no quick or easy fix. To some extent, it reflects what we are seeing across the state, with more and more small towns struggling to keep their local schools and main streets open. Increasing specialization within the law also means it is harder for lawyers to maintain the kind of general practice that has been the hallmark of small town law firms. However, all Iowans want and need access to legal services close to home and small town lawyers who are retiring have a tremendous legacy to pass on to young lawyers.

The Iowa State Bar Association is piloting a project that is attracting nationwide attention. Working with the University of Iowa College

of Law, Drake University Law School and Creighton Law School, the ISBA’s Rural Practice Committee has organized a summer internship program that places law students in small town law practices and gives them the opportunity to experience first-hand what practicing in a rural community is like.

It is hoped that this will encourage more young lawyers to consider small town practice as a viable professional opportunity.

Q: What are some of the best (and worst) things about living in Siouxland?

A: The best thing about living in Siouxland is the people. We are fortunate to have so many generous, committed and innovative community leaders and citizens. My husband and I moved to Sioux City in 1979 and the transformation this

from page 11 newly insured people into the healthcare system, there is also a big question about who will provide the care. It is doubtful that there will be sufficient numbers of physicians to meet the demand, particularly in already underserved areas. As a result, more health care services will be delivered by midlevel providers like physician assistants and nurse practitioners.

Q: In general, what challenges does the current regulatory environment pose for healthcare providers?

A: One of the biggest challenges we face in the tri-state region is the tremendous disparity in the current Medicare payment formula.

Medicare pays health care providers in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota some of the lowest rates in the entire country. Yet, our physicians and hospitals provide some of the highest quality, most efficient medical care anywhere. Unfortunately, the Accountable Care Act does nothing to fix this inequity.

Q: Have you thought about things you’d like to focus on as the president of the Iowa State Bar? A: I have three main goals for my term: continuing to provide new and meaningful services to the association’s 8,000-plus members; retaining and growing membership during a time when, as a general matter, there seem to be fewer and fewer “joiners;” and finding ways to assist our newest lawyers who are entering the profession at a time of escalating educational costs and dwindling traditional practice opportunities. I am also deeply committed to working to assure that Iowa maintains its system of selecting judges based on merit rather than politics and to secure critically needed funding for the judicial branch.
