Rebound Neurosurgery opens
a new Brain and Spine Center at Southwest Washington Medical Center
The new Brain and Spine Center at Southwest Washington Medical
Center opened today.
Rebound Neurosurgery opened its new Brain and Spine Center at
Southwest Washington Medical Center earlier today. There will be an
open house for physicians, hospital staff, and the public from 4:30
to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12.
The new suite is the only office exclusively dedicated to serving
neurosurgical patients in Southwest Washington. The Rebound doctors
worked with the architects to ensure that the design meets the needs
unique to their patients. According to
Ashok Modha, Rebound
neurosurgeon: “Our goal was to develop a space to provide better
overall patient care. The new office is light and soothing to
create a calming atmosphere for patients. We also employed state of
the art medical technological platforms for efficiencies, which
ultimately allows for an enhanced work environment for both patients
and physicians.”
Rebound Neurosurgery was originally founded by
Tom Dietrich in Vancouver in
1971. Later, as the practice grew, the neurosurgeons joined the
Vancouver Orthopedic Group in 1994 to form the united team now known
as Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery. Today, the neurosurgery group
includes five neurosurgeons, two nurse practitioners, and one
physician assistant.
Advisory group forwards
Hazel Dell sports fields plan
The Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission voted
Friday to forward a conceptual development plan for a youth sports
fields complex to the Board of Clark County Commissioners.
The project would be built on a 20-acre site in Hazel Dell along the
north side of Northeast 78th Street, about a quarter mile west of
St. Johns Road. The commission recommended trying to shield the
neighborhood to the north from traffic and protecting as much of the
site’s existing tree canopy as possible, along with having the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency continue monitoring groundwater
quality.
The commission’s vote came after a review of costs for building
sports fields at Hazel Dell and Fairgrounds Community Park. The
Hazel Dell site would cost an estimated $7.09 million to construct,
compared with $13.49 million for the Fairgrounds site.
The Hazel Dell project is designed to serve local youth sports
groups and would include one full-size field, with synthetic turf,
for baseball, soccer, lacrosse and field hockey, two intermediate
baseball fields and two tee-ball fields, along with concession
facilities, restrooms, lighting, walkways and road improvements.
