Foundation CEO inspires graduates

On Sunday, May 17, Denise San Antonio Zeman, president and CEO of the Saint Luke's Foundation, was the commencement speaker at the Case Western Reserve University's School of Dental Medicine. The inspiring speech featured the words of that great philosopher Dr. Seuss, as well as the poetic writings on "reason, season and lifetime" by Brian A.

Saint Luke's has a longstanding relationship with the School of Dental Medicine through the Healthy Smiles Sealant Program, which was initiated through a pilot grant from the Foundation in 1999. The Healthy Smiles program is a partnership between Case School of Dental Medicine, the Cleveland Municipal School District and the Saint Luke's Foundation. (5/21/2009)

 

Providence House honors the Saint Luke’s Foundation

Providence House, Ohio's first licensed crisis nursery, has honored the Saint Luke’s Foundation with its prestigious “Blue Ribbon Award” – awarded to members of this community for their commitment to families and children in crisis. The Saint Luke's Foundation has supported Providence House since 2003 -- in fact, the Foundation was the first funder to "sponsor a bed" in the crisis nursery.

Fellow 2009 Blue Ribbon honorees include: Saks Fifth Avenue, The Cleveland Indian’s Wives’ Association and Sandy Kish-Jordan. We are deeply humbled by this honor and lift up the great work of the staff, board and volunteers at Providence House. (4/28/2009)
