FAITH & WORK 4

You and I want to succeed. Either personally or professionally.

So, I am sharing with you some of my beliefs which may be helpful to you.

They are:

1 Believe in God. Ask Him for solutions and cures and blessings. Early on. Do not let the

situation get out of control until you ask for His intercession.

2 Make yourself valuable. Good enough is not good enough. Achieve more than is

expected of you. Go the extra mile. Work longer hours and start earlier than required.

3 Listen. Talk less. Observe more.

4 Emulate successful people. Learn what Jesus did in various situations. Watch what

others do in the USA and in the world.

5 Make quality decisions. Thoughtful ones. Or defer to those who know more about the

issue than you do. Make decisions which will make you more valuable.

6 Think. Think again. Think ahead. Think.

7 Balance mission and margin. It is hard to generate revenue and to save money. It’s

critical and important to do both.

8 Plan. Plan your career as well as you plan your vacation. Planning will determine your

success or failure. Work your plan.

9 Communicate. Do it. There is no such thing as “no communication!” Silence will

communicate more than you would imagine.

10 How are things? Good or bad? Compared to what or to whom? Most things have a

“relative value.” Be an optimist. Fill your cup with success.

God bless,

WVD

Founder’s DayH 2 0 1 7 H

New York’s legendary Mayor Rudy

Giuliani fascinated the 400+

supporters of St. Barnabas’ 117th

Founder’s Day celebration with firsthand

accounts of national triumph and tragedy.

At the annual fundraiser for the St. Barnabas

Free Care Fund, Mayor Giuliani received

the St. Barnabas Hance Award, recognizing

his courage, compassion and guiding spirit

in common with St. Barnabas founder

Gouverneur P. Hance (1871 – 1954).

Giuliani’s poignant and patriotic message

brought the audience to their feet, but not

before the Mayor himself applauded the

services of two St. Barnabas impresarios:

William V. Day, visionary leader and

president for the 50th year, and John J.

Curran, chairman of the board of trustees.

The signature event, held at the Pittsburgh

Marriott North, supports the Free Care

Fund, which last year provided more than

$7 million charity care to nursing and

living assistance patients. Sponsorship

and proceeds from the silent auction,

private audience with Mayor Giuliani and

the awards dinner underwrite nearly one

week of free care at The Health System.

“America’s Mayor” Giuliani joins an

impressive Who’s Who of St. Barnabas

Founder’s Day honorees: President Gerald

R. Ford, Terry Bradshaw, Barbara Bush,

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and Debbie

Reynolds, among many others.

FAITH & WORK 6

W hen Margaret Lichtenstein was 65 she began

hunting deer at a north Texas ranch. A real

character, my mother was continually fascinated

with hunting until she was 92 years old. After more than 20 kills,

she hung up her rifle. Even so, her grandchildren continued

calling her “Nana the Ninja.”

“Kidnapped” From Corpus Christi to Pittsburgh

At 98, Mother lived independently in Corpus Christi, and after

many spirited discussions, she agreed to “visit” Pittsburgh. I

think she always knew she was coming to stay. As we passed

through the small airport’s security, my mother loudly whis-

pered to a TSA agent, “I hope you can help me. I’m being

kidnapped!”

My Deer Hunting Mother’s

AdventureWe were quickly

ushered into a closed

room for further questions. After I

identified myself as the Chief Executive of Allegheny

County, Pennsylvania, I was cleared of

kidnapping charges. Mother thoroughly

enjoyed my distress and my 98-year-old

prankster and I made our flight.

From Oakmont to St. Barnabas

Mother stayed in Oakmont, northeast

of Pittsburgh, with my wife Elin and

me for a while. We visited assisted

living facilities. After two weeks, she

chose St. Barnabas. “I like the people

there the best,” she said. The finishing touch

in her living assistance apartment was the head of

a 12-point buck proudly mounted on a wall.

Birthdays and Beauty Salons

For as long as I could remember, Mother

went to church every Sunday and the

beauty parlor every two weeks. As a

birthday gift, I made a special arrange-

ment with the St. Barnabas beauty salon

manager – to pay for her bi-monthly

appointments for the next year. Two

weeks later the manager called to say that

Mother thought the gift was wonderful.

She asked him, “Did you say ‘free’ for

the rest of the year?” When he nodded

“yes” she replied, “Then change my

appointments to every week.” I sent

another check!

Stroke Recovery and

Sparkling Chandeliers

In 2010, Mother suffered a stroke and

experienced the most valued benefit of

living at St. Barnabas. After her hospital

stay, she returned to the same building as

her Arbors apartment for skilled nursing

care and rehabilitation. A system of care

was already in place for her. Nurses,

doctors, therapists and an amazing staff

were her 24-hour medical team.

From her window, we could see how the

Crystal Conservatories at St. Barnabas lit

up the Valencia sky. When Elin and I

learned of “named gifts” for the Tower,

we chose this opportunity to help the

patients served by St. Barnabas Free Care

This story is shared by Margaret Lichtenstein’s

son, James C. Roddey. Mr. Roddey works as a

senior advisor to St. Barnabas Health System

and lives there too. Actively non-retired, he

enjoys watching wildlife, especially deer, safely

pass his Woodlands at St. Barnabas windows.

Fund and aqua therapy at the

Conservatories’ pool. Today, a crystal

chandelier sparkles magnificently in the

Tower and commemorates the equally

brilliant Margaret Lichtenstein: world-

traveler, wife, mother, grandmother,

great grandmother, unrivaled party host,

trickster, hunter.

My mother, Elin and I appreciated her

good judgement in choosing St. Barnabas.

There, she found everything she wwanted

and needed. She eventually transitioned to

St. Barnabas hospice and after living

happily and actively, passed away at age

101. Mother left wonderful memories of a

life well lived…and enjoyed.

ONE EMERGENCY. TWO OUTCOMES. These real-life situations signify the difference between living at

St. Barnabas and a stand-alone facility. The decision impacts

your parent as well as your family:

First scenario: You thank God your mother is in good hands.

Last night, you were informed that your mother’s labored

breathing suggests pneumonia. She agreed to be transferred

from the living assistance apartment to the adjoining

skilled care unit and she is resting comfortably. At this

morning’s visit, the doctor will share his care plan, involving

the health system’s team of medical professionals,

rehabilitation therapists and nurses. Home care may

follow her upon discharge.

Second scenario: You don’t know where to turn. Your

mother was hospitalized for pneumonia and now must be

discharged to a skilled nursing care. Mom is too weak to

ADVANTAGE ST. BARNABAS: THE SYSTEM

return to her high rise apartment. The attending physician

treated her illness but is not her general practitioner and

offers little advice. Hospital social workers listed several

nursing homes that you must contact for services and

availability. Where will Mom live, after that?

St. Barnabas Is a Community of Care

“All this time, I never realized what all you do for people,”

says a long-time St. Barnabas supporter, “until Mum lived

there. What a blessing St. Barnabas is.”

He was familiar with the

charitable health care concern

for years, but when his mother

was suddenly widowed, he

appreciated the benefit of

St. Barnabas, the system. Over

the course of two years, he

relied upon one care team:

St. Barnabas doctors, physical

therapists, home care companions,

nurses and aides. They helped

his mother transition seamlessly

from semi-independent to

assisted living, 24-hour skilled

People live happier, healthier and longer here

at St. Barnabas.

I see that every day!”“

ADVANTAGE ST. BARNABAS: THE SYSTEMPatients are Connected with Health & Lifestyle Options

Within the St. Barnabas system, support for the many phases of

senior living exists: wellness programs, residency options, social

networking, physical recovery and rehabilitation, specialty and

general medicine, acute health care, fitness, recreation and

emotional assistance for residents and their families. Highly

credentialed clinicians and care managers maximize independent

function and improve the physical and psychological well-being

of St. Barnabas residents and patients.

This St. Barnabas system…continuum…spectrum of care is

unrivaled among healthcare providers in western Pennsylvania.

It is why seniors and their adult children choose St. Barnabas.

An alliance of 700+ professionals in nearly 20 centers of

hospitality, residence and medical care promote aging in place:

a unique benefit of an all-encompassing living environment.

Kathleen Brenneman, Director of Resident Relations, swears by

the partnership of St. Barnabas practitioners and programs.

“People live happier, healthier and longer here at St. Barnabas.

I see that every day.”

Topping it off is the St. Barnabas Free Care Fund. Residents,

patients and their families trust St. Barnabas’ 117-year tradition

of operating on a sound financial basis and providing charity

care to those in need.

nursing care and eventually hospice. A rapport with the

medical staff and constant communication made a world of

difference. For every situation, St. Barnabas was there, with

options and guidance for his mother and his family.

W hy throw a party? The

benefits of socialization

not only contribute our

increased brain size, but can improve and

preserve brain function as we age.

Numerous studies have shown profound

ongoing brain benefits of socialization,

such as delayed onset of dementia and

Alzheimer’s disease. In fact, a study from

Sweden that studied individuals 75 years

or older, found that those who were less

social, single and lived alone had twice

the risk of dementia compared to those

who were not. So you better start writing

out your invite list soon.

Being social not only helps to preserve the

brain, but also provides profound physical

benefits as well. Studies that measure

years, those who were more socially

active had considerably lower levels of

you in new thoughts and ideas and

provide companionship unique from your

own family.

So why not throw a party, call a friend,

play cards or just invite someone for a

Balanced Life, being social is just as

disability no matter the gender, race or

advanced age compared to the less

socially active.

The brain and physical health benefits of

socialization are often referred to as

“social capital.” Social ties can build trust,

connections, and stimulate participation.

This is particularly important for seniors

whose social capital tends to decline with

aging. Retirement, loss of friends and

family members can sharply reduce daily

social contacts and stimulation, and this

can have a profoundly negative impact on

mental and physical health.

Being more social offers a whole host of

other health benefits as well. Improved

immune function, less likelihood of

depression, better sleep, improved

self-esteem and language skills are all

benefits from social interactions. Living

MemorySurrounded by friends and family,

Peter J. Dattilo passed away at

the age of 57 the same way he

lived each day. Often loud and always

smiling, “Pete” could enter a room of

strangers and leave it full of laughing

new friends. A former Bloomsburg

University professor reflected that he

“lived more in one day than most

people do in a lifetime.” To know Pete

was to love Pete, whether you wanted

to or not.

Pete battled stage 4 prostate cancer for

nearly ten years with the help of

specialists in Philadelphia and his

hometown of Pittsburgh. In early 2017,

Pete was discharged from the hospital

and turned to his steadfast source of

strength, his mother Doris Blair. Mrs.

Blair then turned to St. Barnabas

Nursing Home for his post-hospital

rehabilitation and recovery. Pete, his

sister Dariann Rose and younger

brother Jim referred to St. Barnabas as

their mother’s home ever since Mrs.

Blair and her late husband Gil moved

to The Woodlands at St. Barnabas.

They were relieved Pete was welcomed

into the St. Barnabas family.

Nurses and doctors coordinated

radiation therapy with UPMC Passavant.

The Richland EMS director personally

transported Pete, frail yet boisterous.

Therapists, nursing assistants and

housekeepers alike engaged in sarcastic

back-and-forths with their young wise-

cracking patient, all the while sharing the

heartbreak of his worsening condition.

On February 23, the once vibrant

salesman came to terms with his decline,

sought the guidance of his pastor and

quietly died with Doris, Jim and his

mother-in-law Diane Shock, friend Bonnie

Bock and Pastor Jay Passavant by his side.

Celebrating Pete’s life at the memorial

service and wake were neighbors from

Pittsburgh’s North Hills, classmates

from North Allegheny High School and

Bloomsburg University, his co-worker

family including Jim, James and Cheryl

Dattilo of Pittsburgh Structural Clay

Products & Tile Collection, R.I. Lampus

& Co. and even a few competitors.

Donations in Pete’s memory continue

to be received by St. Barnabas

Charities in support of the Free Care

Fund, including one from his nieces’

academy in New Jersey. Send your
