🌟From Queensland to Columbus!
We had the pleasure of hosting Sandra Glaister and Helena Holdaway from Southern Cross Care Queensland at our Columbus office this week! Sandra serves as Chief Governance Risk and Research, and Helena leads Home Care for their organization.

The visit included a warm welcome from Amy Kotterman, Senior Executive Director of Integrated Operations, and Kenneth Young, President & CEO, a tour of The Polaris Community, and a stop at Creekside and Heritage House at Wexner Heritage Village.

Fun fact: Sandra and Helena were in town for an international a ca****la competition—where their chorus placed 3rd in the world! 👏

During their visit, Amy shared our mission-driven approach to senior services, including our Hub and Spoke model, memory care programming, and Abundant Living Clubs. They were especially inspired by the vibrant community spaces, décor and hospitality.

We’re so grateful for the opportunity to connect with fellow faith-based leaders in aging services and look forward to seeing them again at LeadingAge next week in Boston!
