Resilience. Innovation. Turning challenge into purpose.

At Benchmark Senior Living, we are proud to recognize Meadow Ridge resident Elizabeth Silver, inventor of ComfortSlings®, a specialized garment designed to provide relief from skin irritation beneath the breasts following radiation treatment.

After receiving a breast cancer diagnosis in 2008 and undergoing surgery and radiation therapy, Elizabeth turned her experience into an idea that could help others. During her recovery, she created ComfortSlings®.

What began as a personal challenge became an invention that has brought comfort to women facing similar journeys.

Leadership. Advocacy. A lifetime of advancing social work.

Fiona received the prestigious Gribbons Award from UVM, an honor given to leaders, mentors, and innovators who make lasting contributions to the field.

Her work has been recognized not only in Vermont but also by her alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, where she received the Levin Award for outstanding doctoral scholarship.

Through her leadership, mentorship, and dedication to social justice, Fiona has helped shape the next generation of social workers.

Courage. Determination. A woman who changed a community.

At Benchmark Senior Living, we are honored to celebrate Bedford Falls resident Ann McLaughlin, whose service and determination helped restore access to healthcare in a small Colombian community.

In 1965, Ann joined the Peace Corps and traveled to Colombia, where she helped reopen and restore a dilapidated clinic in the small town of Saboya. She cleaned, repaired, advocated for medical staff, and even rode horseback through the countryside to spread the word that the clinic was open and available, refusing to back down despite danger.

Forty-five years later, she returned to see the clinic had grown into a modern facility with a neonatal department.

Her story is a powerful reminder of the lasting impact one person can have.
