It is precisely that mission that has kept Dr. Rolfs working at Fourth Street Clinic for so long. He spent most of his career focused on indigent populations, first at the Centers for Disease Control and then as an epidemiologist at the Utah State Health Department. After years working in administrative roles, he started volunteering at the clinic just for a chance to practice medicine. “Over time, the relationship changed,” Rolfs said. “I started to real- ize that I was getting every bit as much out of it as I was giving to the clinic.” Rolfs said he has been impressed with the passion and compassion people bring to their work at the clinic, and he has been impressed with the resilience of the patients he has treated. It’s some- thing he wishes more people in the com- munity at large could see and under- stand. “Driving downtown every day, you see this whole world that if you don’t Medical Assistant Cameron Bennett treats frostbite wounds on James, a patient at Fourth Street Clinic.

So good, in fact, that in addition to working part-time at the clinic and serving a term on the board, Rolfs is also a regular donor. According to Fourth Street Clinic’s "2016 Snapshot," private fundraising accounts for 16 percent of the clinic’s operating budget. The largest portion of the clinic’s revenue — 40 percent — comes from public grants. The clinic is a federally qualified health center, Em- erson said, which means they meet re- quirements to receive Federal funding specifically set aside for community health centers serving underserved pop- ulations. In-kind goods and services round out the clinic’s operating budget. Many in-kind donations come from private healthcare providers in Salt Lake or around the state, Emerson said. For ex- ample, Intermountain Healthcare pro- vides vouchers for Fourth Street Clinic patients to receive diagnostic care such as X-rays at an Intermountain facility.

There was one thing Ian Acker had plenty of while he was in treatment for alcohol addiction: time. He spent most of it thinking. Then one day he got a newspaper clipping in the mail from his mom about Phoenix MultiSport, a gym in Colorado that caters specifically to people in recovery. Suddenly all of Acker’s thinking had a purpose — and so did he. Inspired by the article, Acker, who had always been athletic and interested in fitness, started acting as a personal trainer to other resi- dents at his treatment facility. “When you start moving your body you feel a little more vulner- able,” Acker said. “People would ask me to train them and the con- versation would always lead to talking about recovery. I saw a need for it.” It didn’t take long for Acker to Fit To Recover operates in 5,000 square feet and offers 31 exercise classes a week, as well as nutrition and cooking classes and creative arts classes including poetry, painting and others.

It was there that FTR met Doug McNeil, who had recently retired from Interwest Business Group, a full-service tax, accounting and business valuation firm he owned for 29 years.

Fit To Recover Key Staff

Ian Acker Founder and Executive Director Ian received a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Wittenburg University in 2008, where he played soccer and was active in other athletics. After leaving treatment for sub- stance abuse, he became interested in how to integrate fitness, community and recovery into a sustainable program, which became FTR. He recently accepted a community impact award from the SCORE Foundation in Washington, D.C., and was the recipient of the People’s Choice award from the GIVE Salt Lake Foundation in 2016.

Georgia Gregersen Operations Officer Georgia joined the Fit to Recover team in December of 2015 as an annual fundraiser volunteer. She was hired on as a part-time administrative assistant in February of 2016 and became Operations Officer in July 2017, bringing with her more than five years of office management experience. Georgia studied Film and Media Arts at the University of Utah. As a person in recovery from substance abuse, she serves as a member of the Fourth Street Clinic consumer advisory board and is an active volunteer with the Utah Harm Reduction Coalition.

Frank Young Fitness Pillar Director Frank came to FTR in August of 2017 with a passion for wellness and integrating physical fitness into the recovery community. He has more than 20 years’ experience as an employee of Salt Lake City Corp. but his true passions in life, however, are fitness and serving those suffering from the disease of addiction. He is a certified StrongFirst Kettlebell instructor and believes that strong community is a powerful and necessary tool in combatting addiction.

Tessa Acker Founder and Lead Dietitian, Food to Recover Tessa is a registered dietitian with a Master's in Public Health Nutrition from the University of Minnesota, where she focused on underserved and disadvantaged populations. She pursued this field with the belief that nutrition is the foundation for a healthy life and the desire to help others obtain, learn about and enjoy healthy foods. At FTR, she is the founder and lead di- etitian of the nutrition pillar, Food to Recover, where she aims to help people in recovery recognize the importance of proper nutrition during recovery, develop and maintain a healthy relationship with food through mindful eating, and gain skills and knowledge to make the best nutritional choices for themselves.

Sarah Kappos Creative Expression Pillar Director Sarah started with Fit to Recover in 2014 as the honorary artist in residence when she painted all the murals along the walls of FTR’s new building. She received a Bachelor’s degree in Art Education from the University of Utah in 2010. She has previously taught with Art Access and The Latinos In Action program at Glendale Middle School. As a person in long-term recovery, she believes that everyone has a story, and recovery is strengthened whenever a person takes ownership of that story by expressing themselves through different media.

Rachel Santizo Community Service Pillar Director Rachel was one of the first members of the FTR run group and Sugarhouse Bootcamp back in 2013. Formerly homeless and now a person in long-term recovery, Rachel has a passion for service to others has led her to the Fourth Street Clinic as a member of the Consumer Advisory Board, the Legacy Initiative of Utah, VOA Homeless Youth Shelter, the Road Home and NAMI. She is currently on staff at Odyssey House of Utah as an Outreach Specialist. She believes being of service is vital to healthy recovery because it allows those in recovery to step out of their own problems and give back to the community they once took from.
