Building What Matters
Letter from President
At the heart of every great achievement is a team moving forward side by side. Whether we’re navigating challenges, celebrating milestones, or simply showing up for one another, it’s the power of togethernessthatfuelsoursuccess.
Thispastseasonhasbeenatestamenttowhatwecan accomplish when we unite around a shared purpose. From cross-department collaborations to spontaneous moments of support, we’ve seen firsthand how connection and commitment elevate our work. It’s not just about the goals we reach it’s about how we reach them, with integrity, compassion, andadeeprespectforeachother’scontributions.
When we stand side by side, we create more than outcomes we build trust, resilience, and a culture where everyone belongs. We listen more deeply, lead moreboldly,andservemoremeaningfully Everyvoice matters.Everyeffortcounts.
As we look ahead, let’s continue to lean into this spirit of unity. Let’s celebrate the wins, learn from the setbacks, and keep showing up not just for the work, but for each other. Because the real impact isn’t measured in numbers or accolades it’s found in the relationshipswenurtureandtheliveswetouch.
Together, we are stronger. Together, we are unstoppable.Andtogether,wewillcontinuetomakea difference sidebyside.
Warmly,
NicoleGann, President&CEO

Here at FCA, we are committed to fostering social engagement with an active lifestyle among our residents. Over the past few months, our focus has been on staying cool and connected with pool aerobics. Our residents showed incredible spirit and determination. Mobility challenges didn’t stop anyone from participating; even those in wheelchairs joined in from the side of the pool, moving along with the exercises and enjoying every moment This initiative, led by our dedicated Life Enrichment Coordinator, was designed to promote bothphysicalhealthandsocialconnection.It’sbeen a joyful and uplifting experience for all a true reminder of the power of community, movement, andtogetherness.
I would like to express heartfelt thanks to residents and teammates who offered support, took initiative to help, and showed kind encouragement to Peak management this summer. With a key team member on leave to welcome a new blessing into her family, Fowler’s values were visibly in action at Peak. Whether setting up and executing various activities, hanging flyers on bulletin boards, distributing monthly newsletters, or forwarding relevant information about resident and visitor needs, all of you truly showed your love for our communityandmadesuchadifference!
