Reflections on Marymount Place’s 30th Anniversary… We celebrate and thank God for the blessing that has been Marymount Place since 1988. We celebrate the indi-viduals as well as their families we’ve been privileged to serve at Marymount Place by creating a home away from home for them. We celebrate the amazing grace we’ve been given of being able to help our residents accept the life changing moment of allowing us to minister to them in the ways they spent a lifetime helping and serving oth-ers. We celebrate 30 years since Marymount Place opened its doors and welcomed its first residents. We celebrate the goodness and joy of each current resident of Marymount Place and those still to come. We celebrate the long pa-rade of caregivers who have enriched their own lives by embracing the opportunity to serve and to become family and friend of individuals and families. We especially cel-ebrate the team of caregivers who have been with us for all or most of these 30 years, building the culture of car-ing that has blossomed and flourished. We celebrate The Sisters of St. Joseph of The Third Or-der of St. Francis, whose lives of constantly responding to needs and exhibiting the Franciscan values of compas-

sion and care have served as our model and guided our ministry. The Sisters showed us how to build relation-ships of mutual support. They have willingly entrusted the care and leadership of this ministry into the hands of dedicated and capable lay leadership who embrace the power of faith-based ministry as the greatest way to achieve both quality service and ultimate success. Marymount Place started as the dream of Marymount Hospital President, Tom Trudell. Today, it has grown from a “distant” campus neighbor across the fields from the Sisters’ original Convent building, into the north end of The Village at Marymount. It is the foundation of a continuum of vibrant life and healthcare services that serve thousands of greater Cleveland residents each year. Marymount Place – 30 years of faithfully living its mis-sion and growing into a premier provider of senior care services as part of an intergenerational health and educa-tion campus that is totally unique to the entire Greater Cleveland area!

Sister Mary Alice Jarosz, SSJ-TOSF Director, Mission Integration

Greetings from the Sisters of St. Joseph, TOSF

You've read it before, dark chocolate, the richer the better, is not only a to-die-for treat, it’s actually good for you. Just one ounce of a very special chocolate packs more than twice the healthy anti-oxidants as red wine or other dark chocolates. Several studies in animals and humans have shown the heart-healthy effects of chocolate’s anti-oxidants. One study led by Penny Kris-Etherton, PhD RD, distinguished professor of nutrition at Penn State University, found that people who ate a diet rich in cocoa powder and dark chocolate had lower oxidation levels of bad LDL cholesterol and higher levels of good HDL cholesterol. Dark chocolate increases blood vessel flexibility, keeps blood platelets from sticking together, and may also stabilize arterial plaque, making it less likely to travel and cause a stroke or heart attack. This effect is similar to that of aspirin. Kris-Etherton said her research shows that a diet containing about an ounce of chocolate a day in-creases good cholesterol and prevents bad cho-

lesterol from oxidizing, a process that may lead to heart disease. Does this mean you should run to the supermarket and load your cart with Kit Kats and Milky Ways for medicinal purposes? You know better than that. It's OK to eat dark chocolate in small amounts, as long as you eat an otherwise healthy diet and you can afford the calo-ries. An ounce of chocolate contains a whopping 11 grams of fat, so you have to compromise else-where in your diet to make room for the calories. But if you eat your one ounce of chocolate slowly, and mindfully, it should satisfy your most serious chocolate craving, which can help you stick to a healthy eating plan.

Developing a rapport with the Memory Care Unit residents is an important aspect for Dionne Lob-ban to help them meet and exceed their daily liv-ing needs. This rapport, combined with her pas-sion for the work she does, proved to be the per-fect recipe for Dionne to win The Village at Mary-mount’s August 2018 Franciscan Spirit Award. “I love the residents,” Dionne said upon receiving the award. “Everything I do starts with them. My coworkers are awesome, too, and I couldn’t do what I do without them.” Dionne’s efforts certainly have not gone unnoticed by the residents or her coworkers -- especially Kelly Bolois, LPN. Kelly nominated Dionne for the award. “Dionne is passionate about her work and it shows every day,” Kelly said. “She understands the resi-dents’ likes immediately and makes sure the resi-dents feel at home. She is kind, friendly, reliable, and accountable with her work. Her residents al-ways look their best. She is a great STNA and a true team player.” Dionne received a $100 Giant Eagle gift card and

a certificate commemorating the honor during a presentation made to her by The Village at Mary-mount’s Interdisciplinary Leadership Team. She is now eligible to be named the 2018 Franciscan Spirit Award Winner of the Year when the selec-tion is made in December. Talitha Hickey, LeShawn Baker, Rhea Whitely, and Tonisha McCalla (Nursing), and Marymount Place’s Teri Petkac also received nominations for

the award.

For more than a decade, Linda Crayton’s innate ability to engage residents in the Memory Care Unit has been one of her true talents. Linda, a member of the Life Enrichment Team, consistently demonstrates The Village at Marymount’s core values of Compassion, Competence, and the Cel-ebration of Life. It is for these reasons, and many more, that Linda was a unanimous selection as the September Franciscan Spirit Award winner. “I have seen Linda in three different areas in the Memory Care Unit, both conducting and engaging residents in activities,” said Dave Hathaway of So-cial Services, who nominated Linda for the award. “I believe that she shows caring and compassion toward the residents of Villa St. Joseph every day.” Linda received a $100 Giant Eagle gift card and a certificate commemorating the honor during a presentation made to her by The Village at Mary-mount’s Interdisciplinary Leadership Team. She is now eligible to be named the 2018 Franciscan

Spirit Award Winner of the Year when the selec-tion is made in December. Celeste Holt (Medical Records), Becky Manelski

(Admissions), Liz Lesko and Elaine McCann (Rehabilitation Services), Latoya Churn (Nursing), Dawn Kalemba (Environmental Services), and Cassie Pyle (Social Service) also received nomi-

nations for the award.

The spotlight was cast upon Joe Scaminace, Peggy Mathews, and posthumously, William E. Stokes, during The Village at Mary-mount’s second Wall of Distinction Mass of Thanksgiving and In-duction ceremonies Oct. 11 in Villa St. Joseph’s Assisi Hall. The event began with a Mass of Thanksgiving celebrated by Bish-op Roger Gries, OSB, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the opening of Marymount Place and the contributions of the three inductees. Jeff Myers, The Village at Marymount’s Chief Operating Officer, board members Carol Kenney and Bill Keckan, and Sister Mary Alice Jarosz, Director of Mission Integration served on the Planning Committee to help select the honorees. Myers introduced Peggy Mathews, who has served for 30 years as the only administrator of Marymount Place. She was recog-nized for her tireless service to help establish Marymount Place and ensure that each of the residents would come to love their home away from home. “You are thanking me tonight, but truly I should be thanking you,” Mathews said upon accepting the award. “I am so blessed to have been able to enjoy what I do for the past 30 years. It’s you and the residents who make it possible for me to do so.” Accepting on her late husband’s behalf, Jean Stokes acknowl-edged the compassion that he had for the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St. Francis and for the development and crea-tion of Marymount Place. As Bill Keckan said in his introduction, Bill Stokes was not only in charge of the building of Marymount Place, but he also became totally involved in the lives of the

residents. Sister Mary Alice introduced Joe Scaminace, who has been a long-time supporter of The Village at Marymount. “I have known Joe for more than 30 years and have come to know a man of integrity and passion, a generous-to-a-fault man with a keen sense of hu-mor and deep insights into our amazing and at the same time frail human natures.” About 50 people attended the Mass and dinner, including the fami-lies of 2017’s inaugural class of Wall of Distinction honorees – former Marymount Hospital President Thomas J. Trudell, Sister Karen Shimko, and board member William K. McClung.
