Health & Wellness Magazine Community Of Caring - Summer 2019 | Page 5

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT
THE JOY OF CARING
A friend of mine who is a very successful businessperson once said
that his mission in life was to always leave the woodpile a little higher
than he found it. Most of us have seen how important a woodpile is
to a Newfoundland and Labrador home, and it’s a great metaphor for
giving back to the community. It’s also a belief that I hold near and dear
to my heart.
In “Community of Caring,” it’s our mission to introduce you to a group
of local companies with a social purpose—to help people live happier,
healthier lives. In their own way, each company is about looking after
people. Whether it’s CareGivers helping seniors live happier at home
or HeathQuest supporting individuals with products and services to
enhance personal health and wellness, every one of our companies—
and the employees who make them shine—is committed to making a
difference in someone’s life every day.
As you thumb through this magazine, you’ll see articles about Blue
Sky, Momentum, and Aurelia that share stories of caring for some of
the most vulnerable people in our province. You’ll learn about what
makes a quality home care agency and how innovation is improving
the client and employee experience at CareGivers. You’ll find tips for
your own health and wellness. Most of all, what you’ll feel is the spirit
of excellence in caring, a genuine desire to continuously improve, and
a deep commitment to the people of this province. We’re doing our
very best to add to the woodpile.
It is a special privilege to lead a group of organizations like this and to
be trusted to look after my fellow Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.
I thank you for taking the time to read through this magazine. Hopefully
it will increase your knowledge of the great work that is being done and
the services that can help you, and maybe inspire you to add something
to the woodpile yourself.
Yours in health,
