We’re excited to share some big news at Ecumen! Ecumen’s Board of Trustees has selected Cyrus Batheja, EdD, MBA, RN, FAAN, as our next President & CEO. With this selection, Ecumen is building on a long and powerful legacy of mission-driven work serving older adults and strengthening our position as a leader in a rapidly changing health care landscape. A registered nurse, Dr. Batheja brings deep experience – starting at the bedside in senior living and leading large clinical teams. He’ll officially join Ecumen on March 23, and we can’t wait to welcome him across our communities. As she retires from Ecumen, we extend our sincere gratitude to Shelley Kendrick for her outstanding leadership and service to Ecumen and those we serve. She guided us successfully through COVID, hospice expansion and the transition of St. Benedict’s Communities from CentraCare to Ecumen. She championed a people-first culture and mentored countless team members during her tenure. We wish her all the best in what’s next for her! Join us in welcoming Cyrus to Ecumen. We’re excited for this next chapter and the continued growth and strength of our work.

The Ecumen Lakeview Commons team truly embraces one of Ecumen's core values—innovation! With this week’s extreme cold temps keeping a lot of us indoors, their creative team came up with a super fun indoor "sledding" activity! They used pretend snowballs and a makeshift toboggan to bring the winter fun inside! It’s incredible to see how our team finds ways to bring joy to our residents, especially since many can no longer enjoy traditional sledding. Despite the freezing temperatures outside, the fun, laughter, and creativity are thriving inside Ecumen Lakeview Commons!
