Yesterday we said farewell to our friend Jeanenne who's moving to Assisted Living today. She has lived at Point Pleasant Heights for 7 years and has made many friends here. While we will miss seeing her around, this move is simply a change of address, not a goodbye. Her spirit and friendships will remain a part of this community. All the best Jeanenne!

The youth at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church are on Spring Break this week and had a 'Lock In' on Thursday. They came over to say hi and visit with residents and pass out homemade cookies! We had 24 youth here between 5 years old and 7th grade. It was a great time of learning about each other and asking questions like, "How old are you?" Made for some fun and laughs.

Our group had so much fun seeing "Guys & Dolls" at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres! What better way to spend a day than enjoying lunch with friends and seeing a wonderful musical full of laughs, dance and music!

We’re excited to share some big news at Ecumen!

Ecumen’s Board of Trustees has selected Dr. Cyrus Batheja, EdD, MBA, RN, FAAN, as our next President & CEO.

With this selection, Ecumen is building on a long and powerful legacy of mission-driven work serving older adults and strengthening our position as a leader in a rapidly changing health care landscape. A registered nurse, Dr. Batheja brings deep experience – starting at the bedside in senior living and leading large clinical teams.

He’ll officially join Ecumen on March 23, and we can’t wait to welcome him across our communities.

As she retires from Ecumen, we extend our sincere gratitude to Shelley Kendrick for her outstanding leadership and service to Ecumen and those we serve. She guided us successfully through COVID, hospice expansion and the transition of St. Benedict’s Communities from CentraCare to Ecumen. She championed a people-first culture and mentored countless team members during her tenure. We wish her all the best!

Join us in welcoming Cyrus to Ecumen. We’re excited for this next chapter and the continued growth and strength of our work.
