Vim & Vigor - Fall 2011 - Parrish Medical Center - (Page 3)

Opening ThoughTs A Dream Becoming Reality T An imaginative healthcare setting for senior citizens and their caregivers nears completion he three houses you’ve seen being renovated just south of Parrish Medical Center (PMC) are the first phase of the Parrish Health Village. They are some of the community’s most notable historic houses. When finished later this year, the Carlile house (closest to the street) will be Carey’s Guest House by Sodexo, a three-suite guesthouse for family members of PMC patients. It was named that because of the very generous donation Sodexo made to the guesthouse operations. The Nobles house (closest to the open field where the old hospital stood) will become Heritage Hall, a gathering place for health and wellness education and community events. The two-story Taylor-Dunn house (in the middle) will be home to the Jess Parrish Medical Foundation and a historical “parlor” that pays tribute to the history of the houses and the era. Parrish Health Village will be the nation’s most imaginative healthcare setting dedicated to mind, body and spirit for the well-being of senior citizens and their caregivers. It will include the restored historic houses plus new construction in the Parrish Health Village East that will resemble a bygone era—an era when life was a little slower and we all had a real sense of community. The health village will include a beautiful park that connects with the Chain of Lakes recreation area, including a grand pavilion suitable for family gatherings. It will lead to Parrish Health Village East, the second phase of the project. This will be home to medically sophisticated elder-care programs and services that are anything but old-fashioned. Included will be the Parrish Senior Consultation Center, led by Pamela Tronetti, D.O., a board-certified, fellowship-trained geriatrician. Dr. Tronetti will be the medical director for the Parrish Health Village. You’ll also find Parrish Senior Solutions. Initially funded by Parrish Medical Center care partners through their Circle of Giving employee program, Parrish Senior Solutions offers seniors and caregivers (spouses, children, family members or friends) assistance to find the services and information they need to live out their lives in the best possible manner. The Center for Lifelong Health will be housed here and will include prevention, education and self-management programs for people with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, respiratory disease and heart failure. Parrish Health Village has been a dream for many years, and the first phase is about to become a reality. None of it would have been possible without the help of the Jess Parrish Medical Foundation, the PMC board of directors, our very generous donors, the city of Titusville and the Brevard County Commissioners. We thank them, and you, for the continued support, and hope you share in our excitement. On behalf of the entire Parrish Medical Center family, it is our privilege and honor to serve your health and wellness needs. Sincerely, J.J. Parrish III Chairman of the Board Parrish Health Village will be the nation’s most imaginative healthcare setting dedicated to mind, body and spirit for the well-being of senior citizens and their caregivers.
