Thompson Center on Lourdes Inc

What it reported doing in 2025

Driving the vision and mission are four foundational pillars that guide everything we do at the mary beth nienhaus activity center: collaboration working together with community partners to leverage a wide range of knowledge, resources, and expertise. We are proud to collaborate with nearly 140 partners throughout the community, expanding both our reach and impact. Socialization building connections and a strong sense of community through social activities, events, and group outings. Research shows that social isolation can be as harmful to ones health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. The good news is that social isolation is a modifiable risk factor meaning it can be changed. Strong social connections have been shown to positively influence outcomes related to stroke, coronary artery disease, cancer, and obesity. Education providing learning experiences that are timely, inclusive, and relevant. Educational programming helps keep the mind active, supporting memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. Continued learning promotes cognitive resilience and may help delay age-related cognitive decline. Wellness programming supporting healthy minds and bodies. As an activity center, we intentionally incorporate movement and wellness education into our offerings. Our programs build strength, support daily functioning, help prevent falls, and promote healthy habits such as nutrition and chronic disease managementenhancing independence and overall well-being. These pillars are reflected in everything we dofrom our programming to our partnerships to the way we engage with our community. In 2025, the mary beth nienhaus activity center relocated to 3000 e.
