Progress & Improvements
Plans to Prosper
Our board has been actively praying about next steps. We have realized three areas where we need your help:
1. Constructing a 1500 sq. ft. childcare building onsite for staff. We have around 15 kids, aged 12 and under, who would benefit from this - plus 3 staff members or their spouses are currently expecting children so more are on their way!
2. Establishing and building additional staff housing. Staff housing is a draw for us to gain new Christian Science nurses ready and willing to work at The Leaves, and the more Christian Science nurses we can attract, the more patients we can help support.
3. Renovating patient and resident rooms. We currently have bathrooms and tile-work from the 1970’s and 80’s. Patients need to be walked or wheeled through the hallway to a shower room in order to take a shower. We would like to update these spaces to help create a private and spacious atmosphere.
