At St. Leonard Center, a retirement community in Dayton, OH, community benefit programs are such a critical part of daily operations that the organization could not continue to flourish without them. Founded in 1983, the center now serves more than 600 persons. St. Leonard offers independent living arrangements, as well as assisted living and skilled nursing care. From its beginning the center has depended on collaborative arrangements with local churches, agencies, and other organizations. As the center has grown, it has continued to work with others to enhance services to its clients and to local residents. Recent arrangements with St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Dayton have enabled the center to offer home healthcare, as well as outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation. Integrated pharmacy, medical supply, and laboratory services are also available, and a systemwide management information system is currently under development. St. Leonard Center also reaches out to local elderly residents through adult day care and respite programs, as well as through its Senior Network, a resource center (cosponsored by St. Elizabeth) with about 25,000 enrollees. The center also offers three special educational programs for children.
位于俄亥俄州代顿市的圣伦纳德中心是一个退休社区，社区福利项目是日常运营的关键组成部分，没有这些项目，该组织就无法持续蓬勃发展。该中心成立于1983年，目前为600多人提供服务。圣伦纳德提供独立生活安排，以及辅助生活和专业护理服务。从一开始，该中心就依赖与当地教堂、机构和其他组织的合作安排。随着中心的发展，它继续与其他机构合作，以加强对客户和当地居民的服务。最近与代顿市的圣伊丽莎白医疗中心达成的合作安排，使该中心能够提供家庭医疗保健以及门诊和住院康复服务。还提供综合药房、医疗用品和实验室服务，目前正在开发全系统管理信息系统。圣伦纳德中心还通过成人日托和喘息服务项目，以及通过其老年网络（由圣伊丽莎白共同赞助的一个资源中心，约有25000名登记用户）与当地老年居民建立联系。该中心还为儿童提供三个特殊教育项目。
