Thank you to BJC HealthCare and the St. Louis Blues for their incredible generosity in presenting Community Living with two ZOLL AEDs 💙🏒

Through the sale of special St. Louis Blues t-shirts in the Team Store, more than $3,300 was raised for The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital to fund AEDs for the community, and we’re honored to be a part of that.

These AEDs provide a critical layer of safety for the people we support and our staff. In the event of sudden cardiac arrest, immediate access to an AED, alongside CPR, can be lifesaving. With trained staff at each of our locations, this equipment strengthens our ability to respond quickly until EMS arrives.

We’re so grateful for this partnership and the Blues’ commitment to keeping our community safe!

When Allison walks into the Judy Mahon Center, her smile lights up the room!

Allison has been connected to Community Living since high school, when she attended the SOAR program. Today, at the Judy Mahon Center, she spends her days staying active, connecting with peers, and taking on responsibilities she’s proud of. She enjoys helping out with tasks at the center and volunteering in the community. For her family, finding a place where Allison felt welcomed, supported, and included brought reassurance and peace of mind.

“We’ve struggled with finding a place where Allison can fit in. We’ve found that at the Mahon Center,” her parents shared.
