Advertisement RK SURGERY • HOME page 1 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.

Call 354-6060 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. —Ferdinand Lassalle ,./ <
