First Kupchella Preventative Medicine
and Wellness Award
The Ina Mae Rude Aquatic Center in Stanley and Nancy Vogeltanz-Holm, Ph.D., of the University of North Dakota (UND) medical school in Grand Forks have been selected to receive the Charles E. Kupchella Preventive Medicine and Wellness Award, named for the president of UND and presented this spring for the first time.
The Ina Mae Rude Aquatic Center, built with a $2 million gift from Raymond Rude (husband of Ina Mae), opened in June 2002 to provide people an opportunity to improve their health, vitality and quality of life with water therapy and exercise. This therapeutic and exercise pool, the only one of its kind between Minneapolis and Seattle, is used by participants ranging in age from infancy to 95 years. Since it opened, more than 50,000 people, many of whom are dealing with obesity, pain management, diabetes, fibromyalgia, cardiac issues, arthritis and other health problems, have taken part in a wide variety of programs including aquatic aerobics, arthritis therapy and physical education.

The Charles E. Kupchella Preventive Medicine and Wellness Award was established by a gift to the UND Foundation from Manuchair Ebadi, Ph.D., associate vice president for health affairs and medical research at UND, to recognize the achievements of individuals and organizations in North Dakota and surrounding states who have contributed significantly to disease prevention and healthful living.
