Team Spiritual Care: Body-Spirit Unity
Submitted by Sister Kateri Theriault
Mission Integration
For a long time, it seems, we have been very conscious of Jesus' miracles as proofs of his divinity. What we sometimes overlook is Jesus' consuming interest in simply healing people's sickness, whatever other meaning his actions had. The power that "went out from him" was/is indeed a sign that God was/is definitively breaking into human history in final fulfillment of his promises; but the love of God was also concrete in a very human heart that was concerned about the suffering of his brothers and sisters. It is a reminder to Christians that salvation is for the whole person, the unique body-spirit unity |

The Franciscan Center Opening!
Casey Howard, Joan Longhin-Howard, and Kate Quigley welcome visitors to The Franciscan Center following a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday Sept 15th.
CENTERVILLE — The Franciscan Center — a $4 million wellness facility geared toward seniors 55 and older — opened Thursday on the campus of St. Leonard Senior Living Community. The 22,000-square-foot facility has a day spa, full-service restaurant and bar, aerobics studio, meditation room, fitness room, community banquet room, lap pool and warm-water therapy pool. Debra Stewart, St. Leonard wellness director and center manager, said plans for the wellness center emerged five years ago after St. Leonard residents asked for aquatic facilities. Those plans evolved into a study of the correlation between holistic health and long-term health care costs. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular physical activity can reduce seniors' risk of some diseases and cancers, as well as their ability to do daily activities and prevent falls. Russell Garber of Columbus-based Andrews Architects, which designed the Franciscan Center, said the center reflects a changing approach to senior care. "Senior living communities grew out of the hospital-based medical model, where the focus was mainly on the resident's basic physical care," he said. "The senior care industry is moving away from being a medically based model to one focused on the quality of care and the quality of life." The Franciscan Center also has partnered with Sinclair Community College to offer exercise classes through its College of Lifelong Learning. "We offer everything from chair exercise to self-defense with a cane," said Anne Holaday Locke, Lifelong Learning coordinator. "There is aqua-joggers, no-tutu ballet, hula-hoop aerobics, (etc.)." Denise Cozart, 72, said she already has signed up for a membership. The former Cincinnati-area teacher, who has been a resident at St. Leonard for seven years, said she is excited to use the equipment under the guidance specific to older adults. She said she also would like to learn how to swim. "Every year I would go through beginning classes," she said with a laugh. "I finally learned to float. But I thought now, with this new lap pool, I can learn to swim before I die." Membership at the facility, at 8100 Clyo Road, is open to all Dayton-area residents 55 and older. For more information, call (937) 436-2203. By Jill Kelly, Staff Writer Dayton Daily News |
Team Advisory Board: Uncommon Wisdom
Submitted by Dr. Dennis O'Grady
There is uncommon wisdom in every group I have the honor to work with, real people like you and me who make a living in "the real business world" of promoting good mental and physical health without making the patient feel bad in the process. To avoid burning out, caregivers must first care for self…especially when energy for good deeds burns low. Effective communication with self is a prerequisite to good communication with others. What role model do you offer to others when you take your own gold (good) advice and do a little something to make your day a little bit more positive?
