What a week!

This was a big week for Team CK!!!


First of all, we were inspired by something we read on CK Delaware County's Facebook page. They were participating in a local Congressman's Working Families Resource Fair. That got us thinking about our beloved Lycoming County and the many families who are living in inter-generational households. We thought about all the potential clients who inquire with us about service and have no idea about the many resources available to them, not only as seniors, but at any age. We contacted State Representative Rick Mirabito, who has graciously agreed to host this amazing event with us. The ball is just beginning to roll on this event, but we will keep you updated on all the details as they become available.


Secondly, throughout the day Thursday, our amazing team of Comfort Keepers met for our first tri-annual meetings of 2012. We laughed, we learned and we honored our team for all the work they have done for the past 4 months. Over 60 employees were able to attend these meetings (we have to host 3  so that as many employees can attend as possible) and everyone left smiling.

On Friday, I was so pleased to be offered a private tour of Geisinger HealthSouth, Montour County's premier rehabilitation hospital. Wow. I was so inspired at the work that goes on in this state-of-the-art facility. The joint venture between Geisinger and HealthSouth has created one of best rehab facilities in the nation. Specializing in traumatic brain injury, stroke and Parkinson's disease, the team at HealthSouth is an inspiration to all facilities, focusing in both in-patient and out-patient rehabilitation. I would like to send a special thank you to Jim Myers, who graciously answered my questions and took several hours out of his busy schedule to educate me on this inspiring program.


Lastly, on Saturday, Comfort Keepers kicked off our new Zumba Gold program at the James V. Brown Library. We had 10 participants, which is great for a first class. Here is a look if you are interested in joining us this Saturday or any other Saturday in the Lowry Room from 1:30-2:30pm!
