Wartburg described it for Westfair\u2019s Westchester County Business Journal as being similar to community hospitals becoming part of larger health systems, such as White Plains Hospital and Burke Rehabilitation becoming part of Montefiore.<\/p>\n
ArchCare has begun providing financial, operational and administrative support to Wartburg as allowed by law, according to the announcement. Final regulatory approval is anticipated in 12 to 18 months. Wartburg said that becoming part of the larger ArchCare system will provide access to the wider resources, operational efficiencies, expertise and infrastructure investments needed to sustain its mission in what it described as an \u201cincreasingly tenuous health care environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wartburg said that ArchCare will become \u201cthe sole member of Wartburg\u2019s skilled nursing, rehabilitation and\u00a0assisted living facilities and affordable housing properties under New York state\u00a0nonprofit law, allowing ArchCare to fully integrate them into its ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Wartburg we see much more than an organization that shares our mission, values and commitment to caring for the whole person \u2014 body, mind and spirit,\u201d ArchCare President and CEO Scott LaRue said. \u201cWe see an opportunity to continue to build on Wartburg\u2019s strong reputation and deep community ties and to use the resources and expertise of the church to ensure that care with Christian values remains vibrant, accessible and sustainable in lower Westchester long into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Dr. David Gentner, Wartburg\u2019s president and CEO, \u201cWartburg is grateful for the opportunity to partner with ArchCare to continue to expand our ministry while maintaining Wartburg\u2019s Lutheran identity and values. With the support of our Board of Directors\u00a0and this community, we are excited to move this initiative forward on behalf of the\u00a0seniors and families we serve, our employees who will benefit from a broader array of\u00a0career opportunities within one of the nation\u2019s largest continuing care systems, and of\u00a0course our longstanding donors and those who volunteer with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wartburg was founded in 1866 to care for Civil War orphans. In 1897, it added the Mary Louise\u00a0Heins Home for the Aged. It has grown to offer traditional nursing home and rehabilitative care, assisted and independent\u00a0living, a medical adult social day program and a freestanding memory care center with\u00a064 apartments for people living with dementia and other cognitive challenges. Last October, Wartburg broke ground for the Waltemade Residence, its second\u00a0affordable building for seniors, which is slated to open in 2027 with 102 affordable apartments, including 30 supportive units for those with very low incomes.<\/p>\n
Mount Vernon Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard said, \u201cThis affiliation will position ArchCare-Wartburg\u2019s campus to become the most comprehensive senior care and housing provider in the region. The move strengthens our community ecosystem of services intent on reducing barriers to care, minimizing taxpayer cost, and most importantly maximizing quality of life. I am looking forward to supporting this initiative on\u00a0behalf of the City of Mount Vernon.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The senior care and housing provider Wartburg in Mount Vernon and the New York Archdiocese\u2019s health care system…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":127894,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-127893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
