POSSIBLE
As we welcome 2022, my mission is to continue renewing the strength of Cedar Community’s mission, vision, and values as an organization. Our mission, to model Christ’s love for humanity by creating lifeenhancing relationships, services, and environments, seems more important than ever. As we begin this new year, we are still facing the ongoing and very uid challenges of the pandemic—closing in on two years of life-altering changes in our personal and professional worlds, and adapting to our new normal.
We must continue to rise up to the challenges of working through the regulations and protocols we face; we must continue to recruit, retain, and engage the amazing team members who serve all of our residents across all of our campuses; and we must continue to focus on our strategic growth as an organization. Most importantly, we must do all of these things through the lens of our mission as a faith-based, not-for-pro t senior living organization. Historically, organizations that have weathered the most di cult times have survived because they remained laser-focused on their mission. This shared mission was the nexus for our founding nearly 70 years ago. It is the foundation of our existence today. And it is the foundation upon which we must continue to make our decisions in the days, weeks, and years to come.
I have optimism that this new year will be one lled with joy and grace and perseverance—no matter our circumstances. I believe we will remain focused on living our mission. And I believe we will rise to the challenge—lifting one another in the process.
