Ohio Commits $10M
to Rehab, Operation of LifeCare Center’s ‘C-Wing’

East Portion of Original ’67 Schmitz Building
to Offer ‘Transitional’ Care



Ohio’s Moose will fund the renovation of the “C-Wing.” of the original 1967 Paul P. Schmitz Health Center Building.

> A contingent of Moose men and women from Ohio (above) were proudly on hand Apr. 4 for ceremonies kicking off renovation of the 30,000-sq.-ft. “C-Wing” of the original 1967 Paul P. Schmitz Health Center--left alone during the 2000-02 construction of the $16 million LifeCare Center. The “C-Wing” work will create flexible “transitional living” suites for up to 44 Moosehaven seniors who aren’t quite capable of fully independent living, but who don’t yet need the assisted-living and nursing-care aspects of the LifeCare Center. Each suite will be equipped with private bath. Construction costs are estimated at $4 million. But the total Ohio Moose commitment of $10 million will also will cover the facility’s ongoing maintenance, and selected operating expenses throughout the Moosehaven campus.
