Walking for the Cause

Across Florida and Ohio, our associates have been busy making strides for breast cancer, remembering those suffering from Alzheimer’s, and raising awareness of heart disease at various walks and runs across the nation. Breast cancer awareness month took place in October. November marks Alzheimer’s awareness month. Both causes affect our friends, families and our residents. Many of our associates took part in events in their communities with the support of the Greystone Health Network. In Ohio, the Mount Vernon Health and Rehabilitation Center team called the Guardians of Memory walked to support Alzheimer’s Awareness in honor of their residents affected by the disease. Many of our Florida locations joined in the effort, walking in Port Charlotte and Gainesville Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walks. In Gainesville, the network received an award for their support and sponsorship including our Riverwood Health and Rehabilitation Center, Greystone Home Health and Park Meadows Health and Rehabilitation Center teams. Park Meadows represented with the largest walking team at the event. In Port Charlotte, Village Place Health and Rehabilitation Center

represented the network in support and awareness of the Alzheimer’s cause. Our home office in Tampa, FL joined breast cancer awareness efforts by running or walking in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Treasure Chests 5K. Participating for the second year, center’s as far as The Club Health and Rehabilitation Center at The Villages and The Lodge Health and Rehabilitation Center in Ocala, FL joined in to double the company’s participants from 2014. Congratulations to Tori Couch, who placed third in her division during the 5K race. Supporting our own health as well as the awareness, support and health of others affected by these diseases continues into November as Greystone Health Network centers throughout Florida and Ohio participate in upcoming Alzheimer’s walks and American Heart Association Heart Walk’s.

Letter from the CEO The holidays are one of my favorite times of the year. Families and friends gather together, we each celebrate another year of successes and growth, and the anticipation of a new year brings new possibilities and excitement for the future. I am so thankful to each of you for allowing the Greystone Health Network to be a part of your holiday season, and for the joy we each share in our communities. The smiling faces I see year-round are evidence of the sense of family and care that we provide our residents, families and friends. Each year I see our Greystone families rise to the holiday occasion and I know this year we will be no different. Across Ohio and Florida, our centers are busy planning holiday meals and celebrations. We hope you will join us to ring in the season with our upcoming festivities. While the holiday’s bring so much joy, they may also bring stress. Adding the various celebrations, parties and events to an already busy life can sometimes be overwhelming. Don’t forget to take time for yourself this season, and make your own health a priority. Get plenty of rest, make healthy dining choices and make a meeting with yourself for regular exercise. From our family to yours, I wish you a warm and happy holiday season!

Connie Bessler, CEO
