Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk
This past Saturday, October 19th, over 60 employees gathered together in Dayton to participate in the Dayton at Fifth Third Field to participate in the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5k Walk.

Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
I spent the day at Brunswick Pointe, our five-star, 90-bed facility in Brunswick, Ohio. Amanda Hilliard is the administrator there and is doing a fantastic job leading this team.

The Confidence Course
I worked with the team at Highbanks Care Center this week. Highbanks is our 56-bed facility located in northern Columbus. The experience reminded me of the Confidence Course that I read about at the Marines Boot Camp.

Learning to Listen and Listening to Learn
I spent the day at Capri Gardens, our brand new 80-bed, all private room facility in Lewis Center. Amanda Meeks is the Administrator there and she is building an incredible team of caregivers.

Making Something Beautiful
I spent the day at Jefferson Healthcare Center, our four-star, 99-bed facility in Jefferson, Ohio. Kelly Johnson is the administrator, and I have a huge amount of respect for her.

Quart Jars of Love
I worked with the most amazing care team yesterday at Country View of Sunbury, our 5 Star, 116-bed facility located in Sunbury, Ohio.

Grab a Broom
I spent the day at Heritage of Hudson, our 80-bed facility in Hudson, Ohio where Michael Thomas is the administrator. I had the opportunity to work alongside Charlotte "Pat" Fry, who is 62 and has been an STNA for over 30 years.

Words of Encouragement
I spent the day at Cumberland Pointe, our 90 bed facility in St. Clairsville. Carri Rejonis is the Executive Director there and Laura Schuler is the Director of Nursing. I had the privilege of working alongside Hope Baker an absolutely amazing STNA. Hope began working for us in Housekeeping and Laundry and then after a few years she took the STNA Classes...

A Chapter Each Day
I worked with the most amazing young lady the other day. Her name is Belle Goodhart and she is an STNA at Emerald Pointe, our 64-bed facility in Barnesville.

A Hunger for Meaning
I have the privilege of working with an absolutely amazing caregiver today. Her name is Irene Weltman, and she has been an STNA for 24 years at Arlington Care Center in Newark.
