has provided a wide
range of
psychological
services to
individuals and
families in Southwest
Georgia for the past
11 years. Originally
from Florida, Dr. Smith relocated
to Albany from Missouri upon
completion of his postdoctoral
residency in Clinical
Neuropsychology, initially
providing clinical services to
rehabilitation patients at Palmyra
Medical Center. He completed
training in neuropsychology, or
the application of brain-behavior
relationships, in a hospital setting,
working with a wide variety of
neurological and medical
disorders, including survivors of
stroke, traumatic brain injury,
spinal cord injury, and other
general medical problems. He
continues to specialize in this
area, and conducts
neuropsychological testing as
indicated for identifying thinking-
related or information processing
impairments in the elderly to rule
out Alzheimer s or other forms of
dementia, children with learning
difficulties, as well as concussion
injuries or seizure disorders.
Dr. Smith also provides individual
and family therapy and evaluation
services for those experiencing
problems in coping with trauma,
death, divorce, marital problems,
parent-child conflicts, ADHD,
Learning Disorders and
psychological problems such as
anxiety or depressive disorders.
He has worked with children and
families for the past 20 years, and
has a broad range of experience
in addressing all kinds of child
and family needs. Not only is this
his vocation, but he believes his
mission is to assist families,
children and teens cope with life s
challenges. While he uses sound

In this day and age, there are
so many options for health
care. Independent living,
home health, inpatient
rehabilitation, assisted living,
and skilled nursing are to
name a few. Later in life you
will find fewer options when it
comes to serving your needs.
As you age, so does your body.
You go from living a
productive post-retirement
lifestyle in the same
neighborhood you raised your
children to finding a service
that can meet your ever-
changing needs.
As an example, an older
adult suffering weakness,
Alzheimer’s and immobility is
no longer going to be a
candidate for independent
living. So, because of state or
federal regulations, his or her
options choosing a level of care
quickly decrease. But, even in
rural areas like Southwest
Georgia, experiencing change
in needs doesn’t mean you no
longer can make your own
choices. Person-centered care
is meant to allow older adults
to drive the care they receive.
Retirement communities like
Magnolia Manor in Americus,
Georgia recognizes many
things a person finds
gratifying throughout life are
not lost with their youth.
What kinds of food do you
like? How do you spend your
weekends? What are your
hobbies? Where do you
vacation? All of these
questions are pertinent in
understanding what lifestyle
you desire as you enter
independent living, assisted
living, or a skilled nursing
center. According to
President and CEO Mark
Todd, programs like health
and wellness, arts and culture,
and spiritual care are offered
at Magnolia Manor to allow
more lifestyle choices to all
older adults who move into
one of their eight South
Georgia campuses. “Our
Signature Programs are
extremely appealing to older
adults looking for a senior
community to reside,” states
Todd. “Their appeal isn’t just
about finding fulfilling
activities to partake in during
retirement; they are often
times ways to continue a
lifestyle in which the senior is
accustomed. This brings
residents continuity as they
transition into a retirement
community,” he adds.
Although some levels of care in
retirement communities are
want-driven, seniors who have
to make a necessary move into
a need-driven level of care also
find these Signature Programs
to be extremely fulfilling when
some level of their
independence has been lost.
With a state-of-the-art
Clarke W. Duncan Wellness
Center on the Americus
campus, residents and older
adults within the local
community can benefit from
fitness equipment, treadmills,
a sauna, lap pool, and therapy
pools all provided under the
supervision of certified fitness
personnel. For those suffering
circulatory problems, the
whirlpool spa can help relax
muscles and increase blood
circulation. Additionally, on-
site therapy pools provide
relief to individuals with
mobility challenges and
chronic arthritis. Many prefer
strength training or cardio
fitness to water-based
programs. Wellness Center
members can make their own
decisions. The major point
being, there is a choice of what
activities and equipment from
which a person can benefit.
Residents from both
independent and assisted
living may choose to integrate
the Wellness Center into their
daily or weekly routine.
Whatever the desire, Magnolia
Manor makes great strides to
fulfill it.
Other signature programs
like the Renaissance Living
Initiatives offer a life of culture
and vibrancy. Art classes,
ceramics, music and cultural
education all contribute to
stimulation and activity. As a
United Methodist Ministry for
Older Adults, Magnolia Manor
offers a spiritual care program
with six chaplains serving
eight campuses providing
broad-based spiritual care for
residents and staff. The
program offers several layers
of support such as pastoral
care, support group care,
services of worship, and Bible
study. Regardless of the level
of care a resident needs,
choices begin at admission
and continue for as long as a
resident resides on-campus.
Offering choices in dining
services, apartment types,
activities, health and wellness,
spiritual care, and much more,
retirement communities like
Magnolia Manor confirms
person-centered care is a top
priority in the long term care
industry.

By Dr. Todd Smith
My kids are driving me crazy!
If I had a dollar for every time
I heard a parent say this to me
I might already be able to
retire. Seriously, this
statement is made by almost
every parent I see who is
having problems controlling
their child’s behavior. By this
point, most mothers are ready
to pull out their hair, and
fathers just want to beat their
child to death… “Maybe that’ll
show ‘em”, they say. The
following is a sample of
statements I have heard -
maybe you have said the same
things yourself.
• When I was coming up I
didn’t dare talk to my dad
the way my son talks to
me...I’d be dead!
• I would now be blind if I
looked at my parents the way
my son looks at me.
• You can’t do anything to
your kids anymore...if
someone sees you spank
your child they’ll take ‘em
away.
Time Out!
• There ain’t nothing wrong
with that child that a good
‘ole fashioned spankin’ won’t
cure.
• I’ve taken all the toys out her
room—now there’s nothing
but a bed. Nothing seems to
work.
What seems to be the
problem that these parents are
experiencing? Frustration.
Anger. Helplessness. Ever
have the same feelings
yourself? Almost all of us who
have children have felt like
this or very close to this at
some point in our lives as
parents. The difference? We
usually figure out a way to deal
with the problem and move
on. The problem is short term
and occasional, not daily and
enduring. Often parents who
come to my office are feeling
this way due to chronic and
enduring behavioral patterns
that they have not been able to
change. Problems can often
be traced to parenting
practices or lack thereof. As
parents we often become so
busy earning a living, running
errands, ensuring the
household is in working order,
transporting kids, and working
out that by the day comes to a
close the last thing we want to
do is deal with children! Ah,
yes, that precious bundle of joy
you brought home with you
from the hospital. But now
look at him, you say, he is no
longer a bundle of joy, but a
bundle of raw, undisciplined
energy! Many of the problems
we face with our children are
due to our own inconsistency
in discipline strategies and
child-rearing practices.
But what if my child has
ADHD? The same. How
about ODD? Ditto.
Consistency is the name of the
game when bringing up a
child. Does this mean that
your parenting practices cause
ADHD, ODD (Oppositional
Defiant Disorder), Anxiety or
Depression? No, but how you
interact with your children
plays an important role in
their development, learning,
and behavioral patterns.
Probably the most frequent
referral or question relates to
whether or not a child has
ADHD, a learning disorder, or
a behavioral problem. A full
psychological evaluation is
often necessary to ensure that
another problem does not
exist, such as anxiety or a
learning disorder. The
symptoms listed under the
ADHD diagnosis may often be
present or caused by other
problems. Once the problem
is identified several sessions or
more are often devoted to the
planning and implementation
of behavioral strategies for
parents to use.
One of the most often
overlooked discipline
strategies is Time Out. Yes,
everyone has heard of time
out. It is simple, but effective
when used correctly and
systematically. I give parents
very simple and easy to
understand principles to put

Time Out cont’d on next page

child (from about age 3-9
years). Time out simply
means you are enforcing time -
AWAY FROM
REINFORCEMENT. The
assumption is that something
in the environment or your
interaction with the child is
reinforcing the unwanted
behavior. First, buy an egg
timer from the Dollar Store,
and use this as your reminder
and cue to “release” your child
from time out. The key
principles involve the
following: 1) where the time
out will take place; 2) for how
long the child will remain
there; and 3) for what
behaviors will the time out be
enforced. Obviously
consistency is the highest
order of the day when it comes
to this procedure. The place
should be an area of the home
that is away from the main
traffic area, away from the
television or any other major
distractions yet close enough
that you (the parent) can peak
around the corner with a few
steps and ensure she remains
in the time out spot. It should
be a spot, not an area, and it
does not have to involve
elements of force such as
placing the child’s nose in the
corner or such. Sitting in a
chair is fine, as is standing.
The timer should be set in
minutes coinciding with the
child’s age. So if Mark is 6
years old, then he remains in
time out for 6 minutes, at
which time the bell goes off,
and you allow him to leave the
time out. If at any time he gets
up and leaves time out, OR if
he is being unruly and loud
while there, the time out starts
over until completed. You
mean I have to keep putting
him back even when he gets
up? Yes, that’s it. This is
where the battle for
consistency is fought. He will
realize when you are
persevering that it is better to
remain there and “do the time”
because that is the quickest
way to get back into action.
When you “release” her from
time out, you simply ask if
Suzie understands why
Mommy put her in time out,
and if she simply shrugs her
shoulders, you very patiently
remind her that she pushed
her brother to the floor, and
pushing or hitting others in
the home is a rule that cannot
be broken, and then allow her
to go about her business.
The usual pitfall for most
parents is creating a
monstrous list of chores and
rewards that it takes an
accountant to keep up with
how many times Suzie said,
“Yes Ma’am”, that everyone
forgets about the “chore chart”
or “reward” after 2 weeks. So
curtailing the temptation to
“fix it all” is the most difficult
problem. You must seek
specificity. Designate exactly
what behavior is being
targeted so that each and every
time that behavior occurs,
time out ensues. This ensures
mom, dad, and anyone else
involved knows the behavior.
In other words, using the
definition “whenever he does
not mind me” is not specific
enough. Because that often
means that it depend upon how
you feel, if the day was good,
stressful, etc., often the
primary reason for initiating
discipline. Specific means that
a stranger could come into
your household and
understand what behavior is
being targeted because it is an
exact description. My
instructions to parents involve
selecting 1-2 behaviors to
target, and certainly no more
than 3. The primary reason is
that the more you select the
less likely the odds are that you
will be consistent. One to two
behaviors is about what most
parents can handle, and that
alone may keep you busy.
Nevertheless, when done
properly, within the first day or
two changes can be seen,
depending upon how often the
behavior occurs. (The behavior
selected should be one that
occurs daily or multiple times
each day). So if you are
struggling with managing your
child’s behavior, take time for
TIME OUT.

Utilization of Emergency
Services at Palmyra continues
to grow as the community
understands the hospital’s
commitment to bring high-
quality efficient and faster ER
treatment to its patients.
They see it through Palmyra’s
strong focus on enhanced care
and improved ER processes.
This is a result of three key
reasons: Better and faster
patient through put in the ER,
development of better
relationships with the medical
staff and improvement of
overall customer service. No
matter what type of
emergency, Palmyra can
provide the best patient care
and can make sure patients are
seen in a timely fashion.
To support the ER volume
growth as well as to provide
better and more-timely patient
care the hospital has moved
and expanded its FAST
TRACK Urgent Care Center to
a separate urgent care facility.
The original FAST TRACK
area within
the ER was
too small
and thus
not
functional.
The new
center is
adjacent to
the ER and
patients can access it via the
main ER entrance.
“Our patients have noticed
the new Fast Track Urgent
Care Center is a great value
added service we provide for
non-emergent cases,” said
Dawn Singleton, RN, ER
Director. “With the Urgent
Care Center open during our
peak Emergency Department
hours, patients get timely and
efficient care, and are usually
released much sooner.”
Palmyra instituted a Fast
Track process to its ER to
speed up the flow
both in and out.
The result has
been less wait
times and faster
patient turn
around during
peak emergency
periods. From
the time one
enters the waiting area they
are greeted immediately and
triaged to establish the level of
care needed. Patients
determined to be less serious
are seen in the Fast Track area
while true emergencies are
treated immediately in the
main ER. Now emergent
patients continue to receive
the necessary care needed on a
timely basis. Those less
emergent patients are treated
as needed in the urgent care
center and are usually
discharged much quicker.
The Urgent Care Center is
open from 11:00 a.m. until
11:00 p.m. seven days per
week.
The hospital’s strong focus
on enhancing care and
improving ER processes has
dramatically reduced wait
times to below national
averages. In fact, we’re so
successful, current ER wait
times are now posted on the
Palmyra website. You can also
text ER to 23000 and enter
your zip code to get our
average wait times 24-hours a
day. Palmyra is now
connecting Smartphone users
to ER wait times and more
through ‘Triage.
Palmyra Expands Emergency Services;
Adds New Fast Track Urgent Care Center
