SUNA SPOTLIGHT: Jane Frahm

***************

Jane Frahm is a firm believer in multidisciplinary approaches to common problems.

It’s that belief that has led her to be a very respected physical therapist at the Detroit Medical Center’s Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan. Specially trained in pelvic floor dysfunction, Jane sees patients with incontinence (both urinary and fecal), pelvic pain, vaginismus and voiding dysfunction.  

“I have always fostered interaction with my nurse colleagues,” says Jane. “Through the years of my involvement as a pelvic floor rehabilitation PT, I have met many nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists through SUNA and the National Association for Continence (NAFC), where I serve as a board member.”

A member of SUNA since 2008, Jane said joining the organization was an easy decision.

“I have been aware of SUNA through many of my nurse colleagues and fellow pelvic floor physical therapists who are also members and who have also presented at SUNA conferences and attend local SUNA chapter meetings,” explains Jane. “I have learned about medical managements of urological conditions and made many acquaintances in the urological nursing fields. I find SUNA meetings well-organized, well-run and very informative.”

A graduate of Simmons College in Boston with a degree in Physical Therapy and a BS, Jane currently lives in Grosse Pointe, Mich. Sadly, Jane is recently widowed, but keeps busy with family. She has three adult sons, two grandsons and another grandchild on the way. 

“I stay active at work and at home,” says Jane. “I love to be outdoors and will never get my house really clean.”
