LifeBridge Health got its holly jolly on in fine style this holiday season. Employees came together to enjoy each other’s company (and some amazing eats) during a series of holiday parties.

Levindale and Courtland Gardens Honor Employees at 2012 Service Awards

That was also the year that both Mary Eccles in Laundry & Linen and Merdina Watson in Environmental Services joined the Levindale family. They, and about 100 of their colleagues who have worked … Read entire article »

Arthritis and Aging
Contrary to popular belief, there is joy that comes with aging. There’s seeing your children bloom into responsible self-sustaining adults. There’s having the time to do what you want during the day. There are decades-long friendships that bring immense satisfaction. But does suffering from arthritis have to be part of aging? Is arthritis inevitable, as you grow older? “There are some who think it is unavoidable,” says Susan Levy, M.D. “And certainly, we see an increase in arthritis as people age “ But there’s a catch. “Some people may not have any symptoms of arthritis although they may still show indications of arthritis,” says Dr. Levy, who is the medical director at Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital and Courtland Gardens Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. In other words, you could have arthritis but have no, … Read entire article »

The Healing Power of Art Therapy at LifeBridge Health
