Several months ago, we shared the news that Moravian Manor Communities and Morningstar Living were exploring forming an affiliation to work together in a more formal way. We are excited to announce that both Boards unanimously approved moving forward with the affiliation when each met separately this spring. While many more details of the affiliation must still be completed at the Board level, we want to provide some important updated information.
As of July 1, 2023, David Swartley, President & CEO will step up as President and CEO of both Moravian Manor Communities and Morningstar Living. On June 30, 2023, Susan Cooper Drabic, President and CEO of Morningstar Living, is retiring after diligently guiding the thriving community in this role for the past 36 years. David will begin splitting his time between Lititz and Nazareth as soon as July, working with both teams to further their respective missions and goals. In Nazareth, several events will be held during the summer for team members and residents to get to meet and talk with David.
