Patient Referrals - Depending on the doctor’s specific referrals, patients are counseled on exercise and/or nutrition programs specific to their particular needs. Currently, the disease management program receives patient referrals mainly from orthopedics, cardiology, internal medicine and oncology (mainly breast cancer patients). Initial reports are given to referring physician, patient, and Exercise Physiologist, as well as updated reports provided at follow-up visits with the physician to assure proper communication and integrated team efforts on the progress of the patient. For detailed information, contact Julie Dial, M.A. at jbdial@utmb.edu or (409) 747-0419. R.E.A.D.I. Program This program helps employees with work-related injuries work through the recovery process more efficiently while improving their fitness level. Employee Injury Management and the physician refers employees for the program. Once the employee is referred to R.E.A.D.I., they receive 3 months of personalized exercise prescription with a Wellness Specialist. The first 6 weeks include one-on-one sessions. Initial and final fitness assessments are conducted to assess employee progress. Our goal is to reduce both the impairment rating resulting from the individual's injury and the lost time cost of the injury. For more information on the R.E.A.D.I. Program, contact Julie Dial @ jbdial@utmb.edu (409) 747-0419.
