Napoleon, OH—Henry County Hospital and Pain Management Group, the
leading developer of hospital-based, primary care pain management centers
in the Great Lakes region, announce today a partnership to bring balanced
pain management care to Henry County and surrounding areas. Henry County
Hospital Pain Management Center, scheduled to open March 21, 2013, is
located at Henry County Hospital, 1600 East Riverview Avenue in Napoleon, Ohio.
The new relationship provides Henry County Hospital the ability to maximize
available resources and provide comprehensive pain management services
to the community.
"Inadequate pain relief is a serious public health problem in the
United States. In Henry County, the number of individuals suffering from
chronic and acute pain continues to increase, and the need to provide
a high quality effective solution became apparent. In order to provide
high quality care, a service that provides a balanced comprehensive approach
to pain management was important." said Kim Bordenkircher, CEO of
Henry County Hospital.
"The Pain Management Center will provide a balanced approach to pain
focused on treating patients through a combination of diagnostics, minimally
invasive outpatient procedures, physical modalities, and therapy, while
decreasing the focus on prescription medication. If prescription drugs
are included in an individualized pain treatment plan, the focus becomes
managing those medications for optimal patient benefit."
"Pain Management Group looks forward to our relationship with Henry
County Hospital and the opportunity to bring our balanced approach of
pain management to the Henry County community," commented John Bookmyer,
CEO of Pain Management Group. "We believe that a balanced approach
to treatment is critical for patients to return to a life uninterrupted
by acute and chronic pain. It is truly an honor to be working with outstanding
healthcare providers such as Henry County Hospital."
The new pain management center will offer treatment for a variety of conditions
including neck and back pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic
pain, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), nerve damage, as well as pain
associated with arthritis, muscle spasms and shingles.

Management Center. Dr. Bakos is board certified in anesthesiology and
pain management. He completed his residency and fellowship at New England
Medical Center/Tufts University School of Medicine located in Boston,
