AGE-FRIENDLY
RECOGNITION
Messiah Lifeways was recognized by the
Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI)
as an Age-Friendly Health System—an
accolade esteemed by the Department of
Health. IHI recognizes clinical care settings
that are working toward reliable practice of
evidence-based interventions for all older
adults in their care known as the 4Ms: What
Matters, Medications, Mentation, and Mobility.
ADVOCATES FOR
AGING RIGHTS
In June, several Messiah Village residents
joined LeadingAge PA at the state capitol
in Harrisburg, advocating for Medicaid rate
increases in the state’s 2024-25 budget. This
needed investment in nursing homes and
continuing care communities would help
organizations, like Messiah Lifeways, continue
to meet increasing staffing requirements and
ensure that older adults have access to care.
EMPOWERING
WOMEN AWARD
Lehigh Valley Business and Central Penn
Business Journal named Messiah Lifeways
as a leader in Central PA for our work
supporting and cultivating women leaders.
As a 2024 Empowering Women honoree, we
are committed to creating change, breaking

future generations of women leaders.
