UMC - Abundant Life for Seniors

Who's hungry? 🍽️ Three members of UMC's Senior Leadership team, President & CEO Mark Lenhard, Senior VP for People & Culture Dave Glenn, and Chief Financial Officer Bob Peterson, paid a special visit to Pitman Manor earlier this month for our latest edition of #FoodForThought! Mark, Dave, and Bob prepared a spectacular meal for all who joined us and dedicated some time to connecting with teammates throughout the community about all things UMC, life, and more. Everything was DELICIOUS! 👏👏👏

We have been BLOWN AWAY by the reception of the UMC Foundation's 2024 Virtual Gala - A Celebration of Innovation! Once again, we extend a huge thank you to the business partners, friends, and teammates who supported this fundraiser, including a special shout-out to our Presenting Sponsor, Sweetwater Construction Corp. and Premier Partners Hawks and Company, Lockton, and Sodexo. You can watch the full replay of UMCF's Virtual Gala here: https://lnkd.in/dhEAWaJs If any part of this year's program compels you to, please consider making a gift to the UMC Foundation at UMCFGala.org!

We had a FANTASTIC time serving as a sponsor for the Fall 2024 Senior Expo at Total Turf Experience in Pitman! It is always a great privilege to participate in such a wonderful event and resource for our local community. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello! 😀

The Shores in Ocean City recently hosted an "End of Summer BBQ" for all of their incredible teammates and it was a BLAST! These hard-working individuals were treated to some cookout favorites like burgers, hot dogs, chips, and popcorn, in what was a fun and festive environment throughout our community all day long. Oh, and we can't forget the ICE CREAM, which was a very popular choice! Besides the delicious spread, there were exciting party games, cool giveaways, and even an exceptionally talented balloon artist. Special thanks to our "party photographer," Theresa, for all of her help! At UMC, we are so incredibly thankful and blessed to have this one-of-a-kind group of teammates who brighten the days of so many. THANK YOU!

We had a great time connecting with so many wonderful individuals from the healthcare industry at today's Chamber of Commerce Southern New Jersey Health Forum. It was such an awesome experience to hear from the presidents of Jefferson Health-East, AtlantiCare, Inspira Health, and Virtua Health and join in on a powerful conversation on the evolving healthcare landscape in South Jersey. The Forum also included an engaging panel discussion from some of NJ's most influential Healthcare Association leaders and a special closing address from NJ Department of Health Commissioner, Kaitlan Baston. UMC looks forward to continuing to support these great healthcare providers and their initiatives for NJ seniors everywhere!

M-V-P!! 👏 👏 M-V-P!! 👏 👏 We'd like to give a BIG SHOUTOUT to one of our incredible teammates, Sharon Pilska from The Shores, the latest UMC MVP! Sharon is always willing to lend a helping hand and does so with a smile on her face. She is a leader throughout her community and someone that our residents can always count on. We are so happy to have her as part of our #UMCFamily! Thanks for all you do, Sharon, and CONGRATULATIONS! 😊

SAY CHEESE! 😁 Thank you to everyone who joined us at The Shores for our "Apps & Snaps" business networking event! We had so much fun connecting with business partners from around the community and so many incredible individuals. Attendees were treated to a scrumptious selection of apps and also given the opportunity to receive FREE, professionally done headshots. Special shoutout to everyone who made the night such a success: Journey Hospice, Lori Rice from Fox & Roach Realtors, Thrivent, Garrett & Batastini Attorneys at Law, and of course, the very talented Shaun Reilly!

Our HomeWorks team had a TREMENDOUS time at Brookdale Community College yesterday for the Monmouth County 2024 Fall Job Fair! It was so wonderful to connect with so many enthusiastic individuals.

UMC UNIVERSITY 🎓 Last week, we welcomed in teammates from throughout our entire organization to take part in the latest UMC University Learning Session! As part of UMC's ongoing commitment to investing in our teammates and culture, individual lessons and presentations were conducted by our Senior Leadership team, which sparked conversations on such topics like interpersonal relationships, critical thinking. and boundaries and civility. As part of our "rolling admission" model, we saw a healthy mix of first-time attendees and soon-to-be grads. In fact, a handful of members from the #UMCFamily completed the curriculum and officially graduated from the program, so congrats to our newest batch of UMCU Alumni! 😄

Sending summer out with a BANG! 🎉 We had an AMAZING time partnering with our friends from Heartland Hospice for a spectacular "End of Summer Bummer" celebration at the Ocean City Senior Center! Our festivities had a bit of a "Hawaiian flare" to them, as attendees wore colorful leis and enjoyed tasty snacks and fun party games. We always enjoy getting the opportunity to connect with our friends from around the Ocean City community!
