Enhancements to services abound at St. Mary! The St. Mary Foundation’s Ambassador Circle met on Friday, April 26th for lunch and their quarterly meeting at the Northampton Valley Country Club. After welcoming remarks and opening prayer, Dan Drake, Vice President of Continuing Care, gave a brief presentation on LIFE St. Mary and plans for serving the aging population in Bucks County through this year and into the future. Dan reported that this group presents both a challenge and an opportunity for St. Mary. Pennsylvania ranks third in the nation for population over 65 years of age. Just over 16% of Bucks County residents are over age 65 and we possess the highest percentage of residents over 85 in the whole state. In 2009, St. Mary opened a Program for All-Inclusive Care for Elders (PACE) called Living Independently for Elders (LIFE) St. Mary, to serve this growing population. While in the LIFE St. Mary program, participants receive personalized healthcare services based on their specific needs. Enrollment in the LIFE program allows individuals to remain living in their own homes instead of a nursing home facility. Last year, the LIFE program, which is located in Trevose, had 220 Medicaid/Medicare eligible participants aged 55 or older. All participants resided in one of 16 approved Lower Bucks County ZIP code areas. This year, LIFE St. Mary has experienced a small growth spurt and is now serving 235 participants from 30 approved ZIP code areas. Should any LIFE St. Mary participant or other elderly Bucks County resident require a hospital stay, St. Mary is equipped with the only geriatric-friendly unit in the area. Nurses on...

Take Me Out to the Ballgame Donors demonstrate their St. Mary team spirit The St. Mary Foundation hosted our 9th annual night out at Arm & Hammer Park honoring members of the Legacy and 1973 Societies on May 12. Nearly 50 guests gathered in the Yankee Club Suite to watch the Trenton Thunder take on the Reading Fightin’ Phills for a standing room only crowd! Ballpark staff and the team celebrated hospital professionals’ night by welcoming St. Mary’s own Jeannette Bernacki, BSN, Interim Service Line Administrator for Oncology as well as Jamison Jaffe, DO and Justin Harmon, DO, of Comprehensive Urologic Specialties onto the field to recognize them all for their dedication to serving the healthcare needs of our patients. Special guests Boomer and Cloudman from the Thunder and the Philly Phanatic joined them for a photo opportunity before clearing the field for the first pitch. What exactly is the 1973 Society? The 1973 Society was formed to honor and engage those working to support the vision of the Sisters of St. Francis who founded St. Mary Medical Center in 1973 as a City of Hope and Healing. An invitation to participate in this group is for those special donors who have demonstrated that the four pillars of the 1973 Society– healing, hope, charity, and community– are of utmost value to them too. The 1973 Society enables community members to support St. Marys unique delivery of patient-centered healthcare in a world that has become disconnected from the human spirit and sees patients not as people, but as numbers. St. Mary brings state-of-the-art healthcare to our local community while attracting...
