Perhaps they have a little bit more in common as they share the same type of em-ployment. They are both trained police officers. Dave Vickers has been an officer with the Pleasant Grove Police Department for the past two years. Dave received his training in California and was employed with the San Jose Police Department for a year before moving to Utah. Dave says his interest in police work sprung from working with police officers while in the towing business in California. Dave served a mission to New York after which he stayed on to accept a job offer with the YMCA camp there. It was in New York that Dave and Jean first met. Jean is a native of New York and has served a mission call to Ger-many. After Dave and Jean were married, they returned to Dave's native California, where Dave began his career as a police officer. Relatives influenced Dave and Jean to make the move to Utah. After relocating here Jean at-tended BYU for a period of time with an interest in geology. After being employed as a dispatcher with the Pleasant GrOve police department, Jean decided she also wanted to be in police work. Jean said Dave didn't really take her seriously until after she had left for training in California. After he had to fend for himself for a few days he realized that she was serious. Jean returned after training to work for the American Fork Police Department, where she has been employed for the past five months. Dave and Jean both enjoy their work and feel most people are decent when dealing with police officers, with a few getting irate once in a while. Jean feels there is no more harrassment given to her as a female officer than any male of-ficers receive. She conducts herself as a professional and people respect her as such. The one problem she has is purchasing a woman's uniform and has to special order them. Dave and Jean are both very active in the Pleasant Grove Am-bulance Association. Dave is president of the association and Jean is the secretary. Dave said they usually respond to 25 or 30 calls a month. Dave is working towards federal funding in order to employ a full-tim- e day worker for more ef-ficient service. Dave and Jean like the quality of life in Utah and plan on staying in the area for a while. Jean and Dave Vickers share the same occupation and also serve together 011 Pleasant Grove Ambulance Association. Hospital offers behavior health unit A Behavior Health Unit will open at the American Fork Hospital Dec. 3, according to Craig M. Smedley, administrator. Goal of the new unit is to assure each patient individual treatment plans including preventative, diagnostic, rehabilitative, and therapeutic services to promote maximum health and well being, Mr. Smedley said. In addition to the seven-be- d in-patient unit, services will be offered. Plans also call for the offering of several community education programs in such areas as communication skills, parenting skills, stress management and relaxation techniques. Deborah Sartain, social worker at American Fork Hospital, said purpose of the new unit is to enhance the quality of life and provide for the treatment of the 'whole person.' Patients treated in the unit will include those suffering from depression, anxiety, coping with grief , or needing pain control. Mr. Smedley said although the hospital has treated this type of patient previously, now they will be located in a specific unit in order to provide privacy. Patients will be referred to the unit by their personal physicians or by the admitting psychiatrists. The treatment team will include the patient's personal physician, consulting psychiatrists and psychologists, the patient and their family, social worker, professional nursing staff, recreational therapist,' occupational therapist, physical therapists, and registered dieticians. Three new doctors have joined the hospital staff as consultants in the program, Mrs. Sartain said. Delbert Goates, M.D., Joyce Oates, M.D., and Tony LaPray, Eed. (Educational Phychologist) will work with the patients, she said. Suzanne Algaier, R.N., a Psychiatric Nurse, is Head Nurse of the new unit. Dale Eckley, R.N., Assistant Director of Nursing, will oversee the program. All nurses working in the unit are trained psychiatric nurses. Mrs. Sartain said the team will work together in the individualized treatment program. Once released from the hospital, the patients' personal physician will provide ongoing medical care. All patients admitted to the unit will receive an evaluation by the clinical staff. The entire staff, the patient and the family will define a plan of therapy and set goals for the treatment. The patient will receive individual therapy several times a week and group therapy daily. Emphasis will be on changing behaviors and , learning new skills. The staff will also work with family members in provision of marriage and family counseling so treatment can be reinforced at home. All services are completely confidential, Mrs. Sartain em-phasized. Patients in the unit will par-ticipate in morning exercise, meditation, study time, group therapy, and individual therapy as well as various workshops including relaxation workshops, recreational therapy, aerobics, individual therapy, family group therapy, awareness programs, music therapy, coping skills, parenting workshops, etc. Different workshops are scheduled for each day of the week except Saturday and Sunday. Although the program currently is designed for teenagers and adults, younger patients can be also be treated on the unit. Most insurance plans will cover at least a portion of the cost, Mrs. Sartain noted. She stressed treatment plans will be individual according to the needs of the patient. |
