In our latest issue of Ecumen Insights - a newsletter for donors and friends of Ecumen, you’ll meet Bella, a beloved four-legged volunteer who brings joy wherever she goes. You can also join us in welcoming our new CEO while celebrating the legacy of a remarkable leader, and discover how integrative therapies like music and massage bring comfort and peace to hospice patients. Lastly, you’ll be inspired by a dedicated volunteer who supports life-enrichment activities, helping create connection and joy for residents.

Whether you give or volunteer, you’re part of what makes these moments possible. Thank you!

Last week we participated in the statewide tornado drills for severe weather awareness week. We dressed up according to weather conditions. We also have a long tradition of passing out "twist" (twister) sugar donuts for staff!

We are very thankful for the collaboration with the SCSU PREMED Club who came out and put on an Aging Well Together event for our residents. From water coloring organs, bingo, making locations, exercises and jeopardy, the Bonn Great Room was filled with a group of students and seniors learning from one another! We are so thankful to have one of our team members be part of this great club at SCSU!
