At our May 29 public program, Mike Keane, co-owner of O’Hara’s Restaurant and Pub; Tim Brown, retired firefighter and 9/11 survivor; and Dr. David Abramson, Director of the Center for Public Health Disaster Science at NYU’s School of Global Public Health, discussed the ways individuals came together in public spaces after the attacks to grieve, find solace, and memorialize. When recounting how O’Hara’s became a space like that, Brown stated, “The folks come up from Washington and I introduce them to the families and — firefighters, families, police officers. And — again, we — come here, we pay our respects, we gather as a community. We interact, we get to know new people, but then we go home. And home is O’Hara’s. And, and there we can eat, we can drink, we can talk, laugh — right? That’s what we do. Here we don’t laugh. But when we go to O’Hara’s, it’s okay to laugh. And-- that brings us together.” To learn more about what our experts had to say, stay tuned for more clips or watch other programs on our YouTube channel: https://ow.ly/nAms50SfnSH

Did you know that Peregrine is working with several cities to leverage all information and services across many city departments, regional and community partners to build a better model of what leads to safer communities? Do you understand which programs, resources and strategies are having a measurable improvement on creating safer cities through crime reduction, public health, education and social and economic mobility. Be sure to catch this talk to hear about some of the thought leadership in this space.
Public safety must go beyond the realms of traditional public safety entities such as police and fire rescue, forming partnerships with schools, public health, housing, and public works. The time is now to fully utilize and maximize different skills, data, and interventions to truly solve the challenges cities face. Join the conversation, in partnership with the National League of Cities, on February 13th at 2pm ET / 11am PT.

As an HR executive, living and working with compassion means prioritizing the well-being of our employees, who in turn dedicate themselves to the care of our residents. Unlike my colleagues and co-workers, whose primary focus is directly on our residents—from custodians and maintenance staff to CNAs, LPNs, RNs—my focus is on the people who make our mission possible: our employees. Compassion in my role involves ensuring that our team members have the support they need to thrive, both professionally and personally. This means crafting and implementing policies and procedures that not only foster a positive work environment but also empower our staff to deliver the best possible care to our residents. By working compassionately, we create a workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and equipped to provide compassionate care. It’s about recognizing the vital role each team member plays and ensuring they have the resources and environment needed to succeed. When we care for our employees with the same dedication they show our residents, we build a stronger, more resilient organization. It’s a cycle of care that starts with us and radiates out to every individual we serve.
Get to know more about the Pavilions each week by learning more about our Mission, Vision, and Core Values! Our mission is to provide accessible, trusted and compassionate care that enhances quality of life for aging adults. One of the ways we do this is with compassion. We strive to deliver care in a most loving and empathetic manner as we would care for our own family. What does living and working with compassion mean to you?
