SAGAMORE SENIOR CARE N YOU’RE AMONG FRIENDS COME MEET A MEDICARE + CHOICE PLAN THAT’S AS CONCERNED ABOUT COSTS AS YOU ARE. Sagamore Senior Care is a very different kind of health plan. Different, because Sagamore was established not to make substantial profits, but as a service to the Indianapolis community. It was founded by St. Francis Hospital and Health Centers, St. Vincent Hospitals and two other leading hospitals and health sys- tems and is now available to anyone who is on Medicare*. We streamlined our operations and reduced administration costs to the minimum. And we found that by doing so, not only could we offer a plan with no monthly premium beyond what you currently pay for Medicare, we could also increase the benefits. (If you’d like even more comprehensive coverage, including prescription drugs†, we offer two alternative plans with small monthly premiums.) We’d like the chance to tell you more about Senior Care. So give us a call, toll free, at 1-800-523-7533 (T.D.D. 1-800-728-1777) and let us know which date and place works best for you. You’ll be among friends.

From the Archives Benedictine leaders This photograph shows four leaders of the Sisters of St. Benedict of Our Lady of Grace Convent in Beech Grove in the fall of 1965. They are (from left) Sister Mary Robert Palmer, founding prioress; Sister Cleophas Wolf, subprioress; Sister Mary Philip Sieb, administrator of St. Paul Hermitage (and later prioress of the con- vent) and Sister Louise Hoeing, the then- new principal of Our Lady of Grace Academy, which had opened in 1956 with Benedictine Sister Irmingard Fritz as its first principal. Our Lady of Grace Convent (now Monastery) was founded in 1956 with 130 sisters from Monastery Immaculate Conception in Ferdinand, which itself had been founded in 1867 from a Benedictine convent in Walburga, Germany. Our Lady of Grace became an independent priory in 1961. St. Paul Hermitage, a retirement home, opened in 1959. Declining enrollment in the academy forced its closing in 1978. Its buildings are now used for the Benedict Inn Retreat and Conference Center. †
