Dear McLean Community,

July 2018

Health Center Newsletter

Greetings on this beautiful July day! We hope this letter finds you enjoying the lovely long days of summer complete with wonderful family times. Here at McLean, we are entering into a fun summer season! Neighborhood picnics, employee picnics, outdoor concerts, outdoor movies, and cozy, happy times around our brand new fire pit are all taking place in our brand new garden courtyard! We are so thankful for this renovated and upgraded space in which to enjoy each other, our residents and their families! Please check our Family Newsletter for important dates.

A big thank you to all who took the time to respond to our recent Resident and Family Satisfaction Survey that was mailed to you in June. We anticipate the results sometime in July and look forward to reporting back to you. We always strive to do better to meet the varied needs and desires of our residents. Feedback is so important!

We are making steady progress with our interior renovations on the McLean wing. New sliding doors and upgrades to heating and air conditioning are being completed and are on schedule. A lighting upgrade is also in progress for our entire building. We will be updating interior signs for evacuation and directional use in the next few months as well and hope you find them useful.

Looking forward to seeing you in the courtyard this summer!

Lisa Clark Lisa.Clark@McLeanCare.org Vice President McLean Healthcare
