Donating Blood and Saving Lives at Miravida Living

Our residents and staff are lifesavers! We hosted two blood drives for The Community Blood Center of Oshkosh in recent months. In July, we collected enough blood to save up to 36 patients at local hospitals. Three people were first-time donors. In September, our generous donors saved 30 lives. We are proud to support this important cause and help the community!

Offering Our Services To Hurricane Harvey Victims

Theresa Bertram, our president and CEO, saw this viral photo of victims of Hurricane Harvey stranded in their nursing home and knew Miravida Living had to do something to help.

“When I saw the elders sitting in floodwater, I was in tears,” Theresa said. “I know Miravida Living has the ability to offer assistance. This is who we are, and this is what we do.”

Sounds of Summer at Miravida Living

“Music is the space between the notes.”
– Claude Debussy, French composer

The sound of music floats through the air at Eden Meadows during lively percussion circles on the patio. Spending a day in the sunshine in the company of good friends and good music is a great way to enjoy a Wisconsin summer!

Music therapies, like drum circles and reverie harps, are some of the many ways we care for the mind, body, and spirits of our elders. We’re making plans to develop and implement Touching Spirits, a comprehensive program of integrative care modalities that will include music therapy, Healing Touch, aromatherapy, Sign Chi Do, and more.

We love creating and sharing memories with volunteers! We have dozens of volunteer opportunities for you to share moments of connection, joy, and delight with our elders this month.

Making Intergenerational Connections with Oshkosh Students

Elders from Miravida Living helped kindergartners from Roosevelt Elementary School in Oshkosh practice their reading before the end of the school year at the chapel in Bethel Home. The group also visited with the cats and dogs from Noah’s Landing, an innovative program that brings pets to our campus. Reading books and sharing love – wonderful – just wonderful!
