President’s Perspective:
Centennial Celebration
As we celebrate our 100th anniversary, Baptist
Homes Society is blessed to mark many milestones this year. In the last quarter of 2009, we
opened our Providence Point campus with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception celebrating
the occasion on September 12, 2009. More than
300 residents, contractors, vendors, neighbors
and community leaders enjoyed an opportunity
to meet their neighbors and an evening of music
and delicious dining.
Todd F. Swortzel,
President & CEO
Planning for events surrounding the 100th anniversary unfolded in earnest as
the new year began. To kick off the year of celebration, a birthday open house
was held on the Mt. Lebanon campus on Friday, March 26th. The Activity
Room of Baptist Homes was transformed by festive decorations, balloons and
birthday cake for more than 300 guests. The celebration continues at
Providence Point on Saturday, September 18th with the 100th Anniversary Gala
event to benefit the Samaritan Fund for Resident Assistance. It will feature the
President’s reception, and dinner and dancing under the stars. Invitations have
been mailed and we hope that you will join us to mark this historic milestone.

In 2010, the Foundation has
sponsored a number of charitable
efforts that are uniting the residents,
staff and Board members, and
enabling the Foundation to respond
to urgent community needs. As a
sign of support for those devastated
by the earthquake in Haiti, the
Foundation made a donation on
behalf of the Baptist Homes family
to the American Red Cross. A team
representing Baptist Homes was out
early on Mother’s Day, Sunday,
Residents, staff and family celebrated the 100th
anniversary of Baptist Homes Society with a slice of
birthday cake. Planning is well under way for the
Gala at Providence Point on Saturday, September
18th. Proceeds from this event will help us to reach
our $1,000,000 goal in honor of our 100th year.

May 9th, to participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure (see accompanying article). And later this
year, as in years past, Baptist Homes volunteers will walk in the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk on Oct.
2nd at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium.
In honor of our anniversary, we have set a goal to raise $1,000,000 this year to support the mission and
ministry of Baptist Homes. Whether you donate to our year-end appeal for the Samaritan Fund for Resident
Assistance, through the employee campaign, to our Golf Invitational or the Gala -- you are helping us to meet
our goal. Providing benevolent care for residents in financial need is the cornerstone of our 100-year ministry.
We cannot thank you enough for your support, and look forward to our next century of providing
compassionate care to seniors.

Samaritan Fund for Resident Assistance:
Fulfilling our Mission at Baptist Homes Society
For 100 years Baptist Homes Society has been committed to providing benevolent care for
residents in financial need through the Samaritan Fund for Resident Assistance. Our charitable
care is funded through donations to the fund from individuals like you, churches, organizations,
the proceeds of our annual Charity Golf Outing, and the investment income generated by
bequests and other endowment gifts to the Baptist Homes Foundation. In 2009, Baptist Homes
Society was able to provide over $1.4 million in charitable care to seniors of all faiths who are
no longer able to cover their cost of health care. Not many places today are willing to serve these
people, but extending assistance is the cornerstone of our 100-year ministry.
The Mt. Lebanon campus currently serves over 300 adults of all faiths through assisted living
residences, skilled nursing and 100 HUD subsidized apartments.
With the opening of
Providence Point in Scott Township in Spring of 2009, Baptist Homes Society has increased the
number of individuals and families that we will serve nearly threefold.
As part of our value statements, Baptist Homes Society is committed to providing an
environment that encourages and supports the components of wellness, physical, emotional,
spiritual, social, intellectual and community. We continuously strive to improve the quality of
life of our residents. We have been able to gradually update the Mt. Lebanon campus over the
last few years—adding a state of the art Wellness Center to encourage physical activity. Through
the generosity of the B.K. Simon Family Charitable Foundation we were able to add a beautiful
sunroom to give residents a room to enjoy the sunshine and outdoors year round. Through the
generosity of the George H. Campbell, Lillian S. Campbell and Mary S. Campbell Foundation,
we were able to replace furniture in our nursing center. As we continue in our mission to
provide charitable care, opportunities abound for further improvement of our Mt. Lebanon
campus and for expansion of activities and programs for our residents. All contributions large
or small are greatly appreciated and will be put to good use to benefit all of our residents.
On May 17th, we hosted our 17th Annual Baptist Homes Charity Golf Invitational at the
Pittsburgh Field Club. Over 100 golfers participated along with over 45 sponsors. (Please see
pages 6 and 7.) We were able to raise over $85,000 for which we are most grateful in these trying
economic times. All proceeds from our Invitational benefit the Samaritan Fund for Resident
Assistance.
As we celebrate our 100th year anniversary, please continue to support our mission to provide
benevolence and improve the quality of life of our residents. We and our residents thank you
for your consideration and your loyal support.

Baptist Homes in the Community
On a chilly Sunday morning in May, a team of Baptist Homes Society employees, friends and family
met in Schenley Park to participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Some ambitious
members ran the 5k, but most of the team enjoyed a leisurely walk with 35,000 other survivors and
supporters. Recently, the Board of the Baptist Homes Foundation voted to support a variety of
charitable efforts throughout the community as determined on an annual basis. In addition to the
Race for the Cure, a donation on behalf of residents and staff was made to the American Red Cross to
support relief efforts in Haiti. And this fall, a team will participate in the Alzheimer’s Association
Memory Walk that will take place at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 2 at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG
Aquarium. For more information about joining the Baptist Homes team please contact Carolyn Falk
at 412.572.8302 or [email protected].
Team members at the Race for the Cure, Mother’s Day,
Sunday, May 9, 2010. Survivor Pat McMullen (2nd on left)
has participated in 17 of the 18 walks. Pat works in dining
services at Providence Point.
MISSION STATEMENT
Building on our 100-year tradition of excellence, we offer a full continuum of enriched living,
