13 Feature | 100TH ANNIVERSARY ISSUE 100 Years In Print: THE PHOEBE MESSENGER Celebrates a Century of Continuous Publication

The very first issue of The Messenger lives in a protective plastic sleeve, nestled tightly between labeled file folders in a humble archival box. It is small, but very important—the first among hundreds of other Messengers that would follow it over the next century. Printed in October 1915, the publication is thin, delicate, torn, and yellowed. Years of safekeeping have not kept the newsprint from its natural aging process. Paper made after the mid-19th century contains acidic ground wood pulp that causes it to break down over time. Eventually, digital scans will be all that remains. But for now, we are still blessed to be able to read the goal of the first Messenger directly from the print on the original first issue. It speaks to us charmingly in the first person: “I will tell you, my dear reader, all I know about our Phoebe Deaconess and Old Folks’ Home at Allentown, Pa. I will tell you what we do there, what we would like to do, and of the things that we may need from time to time.”

Robert Kern, Phoebe Ministries was only 12 years old. Chartered in 1903 by Rev. Dr. Abraham B. Koplin, the Phoebe Deaconess and Old Folks’ Home had originally been envisioned as a school for deaconesses. The concept embraced the Reform Church’s desire to serve the quickly-changing commercial and industrial environment at a time when the Lehigh Valley was lacking in hospitals and social services. Rev.

19 Feature | MEADOW GLEN Meadow Glen Personal Care: Serving the Region’s Older Adults Close to Home It’s been a long time coming, and Personal Care Home Administrator Jennifer Miller is eager with anticipation. “We broke ground a year and a half ago,” she says. “We’ve been here watching the building go up, and the enthusiasm has grown.” Miller is excited because Meadow Glen—the 72,600 square foot personal care expansion at Phoebe Richland—finally allows the campus to meet the growing need of older adults in the Upper Bucks area who require assistance with daily living, yet don’t require 24-hour skilled nursing care. “Personal care is similar to assisted living, a term most people are more familiar with,” Miller says. “We can help with healthcare coordination, medication management, and activities of daily living like bathing and dressing, but residents can still spend a majority of their day unassisted.” Meadow Glen features 62 studio apartments, 10 one-bedroom apartments, and four semi-private rooms. It’s the perfect solution for older adults seeking traditional personal care, or personal care with memory support services. Residents can enjoy amenities such as a multipurpose room for family get-togethers and events, a chapel and meditation garden, a state-of- the-art rehab gym, spacious indoor and outdoor patios and congregating areas, a beauty salon/barber shop, game room, library, and a café area. In early November, Meadow Glen held a ribbon cutting and provided tours for family members, donors,

1903 CLUB: Phoebe’s 1903 Club identifies individuals who have consecutively supported Phoebe Ministries for 10 years or longer. Their steadfast commitment to Phoebe has made an incredible impact, with over 3,390 gifts that equal nearly $1 million in donations. We are thankful to have such a charitable group of individuals who consistently give and demonstrate how one person can make a difference.

The gratitude that we have for all of our donors cannot be measured, and we thank them for being an integral part of Phoebe Ministries this fiscal year!

From time to time, Phoebe Ministries receives wonderful feedback about our programs. Recently, we heard from one of our partners at Accelerated Care Plus who shared the following statement about his experience in working with staff members in Phoebe’s Rehab departments.

“I travel to many different hospitals and rehab centers in my consulting role. Every time I walk into one of your buildings, I truly get a ‘patient first’ attitude from all staff members, but especially from the therapists I work most closely with. I think that speaks volumes, given the trends in today’s fast-paced health care environments. The leadership from personnel such as Jen Howanitz, Kendra Leffler, and Dan Collier is inspiring to witness. Thank you for your partnership with Accelerated Care Plus and allowing us to work with and mentor these great teams.” Jeremy Dunlap, PT, MSPT, CES Clinical Program Consultant, Accelerated Care Plus
