INFORMATION BULLETIN
RK Surgery is short for Refractive Surgery. It is a surgery for myopi or
nearsighted people to potentially eliminate the need of eye glasses or con-
tact lenses. It is performed in an office outpatient setting without the use
of laser. Laser Refractive Surgery is performed with an Excimer Laser and
is called Photo Refractive Keratectomy and is also performed as an outpa-
tient.
The Michigan Eyecare Institute feels this is a wonderful procedure for
thousands of people but not all people are candidates. ,
The doctors at the Michigan Eyecare Institute have had more years of ex-
perience with RK Surgery and Excimer Laser Surgery than any other doc-
tors in the midwest. Dr. Myers is the first doctor currently practicing in
Michigan to have performed the procedures. Dr. Myers and Dr. Rubinstein
are the first doctors in Michigan to have performed any type of surgery
with Excimer Laser.
The Michigan Eyecare Institute recommends if you are contemplating Re-
fractive Surgery to investigate how many years the doctor you are electing
to perform the procedure has been doing it an how many patients they
have performed it on. Also you may ask how many lectures and papers
they have written concerning their data, results and methods.
The doctors of the Michigan Eyecare Institute have lectured internation-
ally about Refractive Surgery and Excimer Laser Surgery and have taught
the procedures to other ophthalmologists for 15 years. Consultations or
free evaluation are provided for you, your family members, or friends at the
Michigan Eyecare Institute.

John Steele
Denise Bortolani Rabidoux
granted $4.5 million in en-
dowment monies for im-
provements to service and
infrastructure at Borman
Hall, as well as Prentis Manor
in Southfield and Fleischman
Residence in West Bloomfield.
Federation leaders say
Borman has one year from
February to clean up its act,
or it could face shutting down.
John Steele, Borman Hall
administrator who joined the
staff in June, says one of his
biggest challenges will be
boosting employee morale.
Many members of the largely
black staff have been hurt by
allegedly racist comments
from some elderly who treat
them like servants, he said.
Contributing to the low
morale has been a series of
four JHA executive directors
between 1991 and the pre-
sent, Mr. Steele said. He is
meeting with staff on a week-
ly basis in hopes of improving
attitudes and increasing
teamwork among workers.
Mr. Steele and Ms.
Rabidoux also have contacted
the workers' union to request
approval for a 43 cent, across-
the-board pay increase for
unionized employees.
Lena Keaton, business rep-
resentative with the Service
Employees International
Union Local 79, has noted
heightened morale among in-
dividuals she represents at
Borman Hall and Prentis.
"I don't foresee any prob-
lems getting the pay increase
ratified," she said. "I think it's
fair. Their salaries are not bad
compared to other city nurs-
ing homes. Even though prob-
lems still exist, I think my
stewards notice improve-
ments."
Non-unionized House-
keeping Supervisor James
Richards said he also thinks
his coworkers' attitudes have
improved; and Faye
Goldstein, a Borman Hall res-
ident, said her friends at the
Home are happier these days
— especially during mealtime.
She attributes the improve-
ments to HDS Services, a food
management company JHA
hired in May.
-
"It'll take a little
time, but we've
seen improvements
already."
Faye Goldstein
"Two staff members walk
around the dining room. If you
don't like something, they'll
ask you if you want something
else," said Ms. Goldstein, who
also serves as president of the
Residents and Executive
councils. "It'll take a little
time, but we've seen im-
provements already. I've spo-
ken to quite a few people and
they seem to agree with me."
Gussie Rochman of
Southfield says her husband,
Lewis, is receiving decent, al-
beit not perfect, care at the
Home. Still, her attitude is
positive:
"Let people take a look at
other nursing homes in the
city before they complain
about Borman Hall," she said.
"Some are worse. Things could
always be better, but I'm not
going to tear down what I
can't build up myself." ❑
From the lofty mountain
tops of science, the dawn of a
new day is seen earlier than
below in the turmoil of daily
life.
