Update on 08-3-12: In 2010 my husband and I moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas for Rich's job with P&G.  We love it here.  The weather is beautiful, the BBQ is tasty and the people are nice!  I worked at an outpatient pediatric clinic and also in a local, rural school district up until the time that we had our son.   Thomas was born September 30, 2011 and I am currently a stay-at-home mom.  Now I spend my days at library programs, taking walks, having playdates with other babies and meeting new moms and friends.  Here is a picture of Thomas at 6 months.  Hope that everyone is well! Beth married Rich Oloffson on July 25, 2009!

Update on 11-11-09 Lindsay and I were married 10/28/06. I work for CCHMC at the Drake satellite. My caseload is outpatient rehab - some of the OT, PT and Speech at our satellite have created a niche known as the Outpatient Neuro Rehabilitation Team. I work along side Jen Thompson and we share Becky Rogers as our boss. Wesley Reed Garrison was born 10/2/09 and is absolutely amazing. We're living in Pleasant Ridge.

Update on 2-24-11: Mike and I were married on May 15th, 2010. We still live in Springdale and are looking forward to the summer so we can go camping. After five years, I'm still working at University Hospital and I'm also the Clinical Fieldwork Coordinator. I love what I do - I manage all of our arrangements for fieldwork placement and get to work closely with each of our students. Our facility is currently going through a lot of positive changes as we transition to UC Health. I have great co-workers and we just hired 3 new XU grads so we are now fully staffed! Hope all is well!!

U pdate on 12-10-07: "I have recently learned a new thing about the OT world...it is easy to find another job quickly if you need one. In my last update, I told you about my wonderful new job in pediatrics. Well, Nov. 9th they decided to close the pediatric division of the company because it was not profitable. So I was on the search for another job, and I have found a new home at Green Hill Therapy. www.greenhilltherapy.org. Next week will be the start of my third week there. I don't know if you have heard of Green Hill before, but they have PT, OT, and ST and all three disciplines do Hippotherapy. I am learning tons of new things and it is a lot of fun.
In other news, I bought a house when I moved back to Louisville and I am loving being a home owner. It is right around the corner from my sister's house which is very fun and convenient. I also have my two dogs (Oscar and Chloe) who are pretty much perfect. Well, that's about it for me...I hope you are all healthy and happy. Send updates...I miss you guys!"

Kim Sanders Korth

Update on 3-11-13: First - we are expecting our first child, so that is some fun personal news.  Our little boy is due on July 3rd. :) Next for my professional news.  I continue to work as on occupational therapist at Children's Hospital Colorado, and have come to specialize in feeding and swallowing over the last several years, participating in evaluations in our multidisciplinary Pediatric Oral Feeding Clinic and Swallow Disorders Clinic, as well as providing individual feeding evaluation and treatments.  In 2010, I applied to be our Clinical Training Coordinator for feeding and served in this position for the past 3 years.  That position involved training and staff development in the  specific area of feeding.  Recently, the beginning of 2013 or organizational structure changed and both the OT and PT departments rolled out new Program Coordinator positions - with one being for feeding and swallowing.  I applied, and was offered the position, effective in February.  This new position has a great deal of managerial, as well as significant program development responsibilities for our program.  I cannot say it has been a easy transition as of yet - however I am learning, and think I am starting to get the hang of it :) Lastly, one of my colleagues, who previously participated in re-writing the "Feeding Intervention" chapter in Jane Case-Smith's: Occupational Therapy for Children was asked to complete a re-write for the 7th edition.  She asked my to co-write the chapter with her.  I was given the 5th addition by the Xavier OT Department as a gift for receiving the Virginia Scardina Award back when I was in school.  So - when this opportunity arose, I was more than excited to accept.  And, I am in process of writing the chapter currently.  It is taking A LOT of work - but is due this summer.  I plan to have it completed prior to my due date, as I know I will not be working on it after the baby is here. 

Update on 9-22-11 Here are some pictures from our wedding, as well as a recent pic from a trip to Europe this summer (The Little Mermaid in Denmark)."
