Willow Brook Administrator Rhonda Koehn explained.
“Elaine came to my office with the idea of a mentoring
Some of the participants in our Mentor program. Back row: Don Faller,
program. I asked our residents who had been here a while
Donna Heins, Elaine Dahlgren, Hollis Miller, Marjorie Watson Front row:
Peggy Hanson, Violet Jackson, Mary Ellen Blatchford, Evelyn Kaeding,
if they would be interested in participating. We asked what
Carol Bittinger, Corrinne Good
would make the transition easier, what would make the
process smoother? We involved our staff also. It was decided that we would utilize a process where resident mentors would be
matched up with new residents to teach them, to give guidance, to be a friend during this transition in their life.”
Violet Jackson commented “My mentor and I became friends when I first moved in. She was someone I could talk to and she
showed me the ropes.” Violet “paid it forward” and now serves as a mentor herself.
New resident Don Faller added “I moved to the new wing to be closer to my wife who is at the Hearthstone. I was driving back
and forth from the Columbus area and I realized along with my son that all that driving was no good. Willow Brook and the new
wing is way above my expectations. My mentors here helped me realize I made a good choice, it’s like family.”
(Editor’s note: While talking to this group I was struck by the sense of camaraderie. The participants have a genuine interest in making
the transition to a new situation easier. Their smiles, jokes and laughter (a lot of laughter!) add to the overall atmosphere at Willow
Brook -- a warmth that is difficult to explain but easy to see when you are there. Call Rhonda at 402-362-4886 and find out for
yourself what Willow Brook can offer.)

Yoga – Mondays 4:00 p.m., Wednesdays 5:30 p.m., Thursdays 5:30 p.m., Saturdays 8:15 a.m. This hour-long class challenges the limits of your mind, strength

Elaine Dahlgren was mad. She was mostly mad at her
children -- but there was more to it. In her mind, she wasn’t
ready to move to an assisted living. She wasn’t sure what
to do, and didn’t want to ask. That’s when Elaine came up
with a great idea.

Out With the Old, In With the New
Nuclear medicine scans are an important
diagnostic tool used at York General
Hospital. Recently the nuclear scanner was
replaced with a new model, adding to the
state-of-the art equipment available in York.
Pam Liston, Med/Surg Dept.,
York General Hospital
Nuclear medical imaging uses small amounts
of radioactive material to diagnose and
determine the severity of or treat a variety
of diseases, including many types of cancers,
heart disease, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and
other abnormalities within the body. Nuclear medicine offers the potential to identify
disease in its earliest stages by pinpointing
molecular activity within the body.
