This morning some of our residents ventured to White Bear Lake to go fishing with the volunteers from Bear Boating of White Bear Lake, MN
It was a blast and we did “CPR” (catch, photo, release) on 10 fish! (Didn’t get photos of all 10)

For our final Nurses Month spotlight, we're recognizing three of the nurse leaders helping shape care across Saint Therese: Jessica Gier, DNP, MSN, RN; Sandy McClellan, RN; and Morganna Moon, RN, MSN.

Together, they support clinical leaders across Saint Therese, helping strengthen quality standards, guide best practices, improve systems and processes, support education and training, and ensure residents receive exceptional care every day.

What makes their leadership especially meaningful is that all three began their careers providing direct care. All three started as CNAs before becoming nurses and advancing into leadership roles. That hands-on experience continues to influence how they mentor teams, solve challenges, and make decisions that impact residents and staff across the organization.

Their work, along with the leadership of Chief Operating Officer Lisa Kalla, RN, helps support the 171 Saint Therese team members who hold RN or LPN licenses across our organization.

While residents may not see all the work happening behind the scenes, its impact is felt every day through the quality, consistency, and compassion of the care we provide.

Thank you to Jessica, Sandy, Morganna, Lisa, and every nurse across Saint Therese for the expertise, leadership, and dedication you bring to our mission.

Volunteering is about connection and that is certainly true at Saint Therese of Woodbury. On May 14 we held a ceremony to honor the recipients of the 2026 Youth Volunteer Scholarship and one of the recipients was Liljana Djurich.

Liljana’s scholarship essay alluded to a resident who had a significant impact on her while volunteering in the Dining Room at Saint Therese of Woodbury. He was a high school history teacher for over 40 years. When he found out that Liljana was studying for her Advanced Placement U.S. History Exam, he asked her about it every time he saw her and quizzed her! When Liljana found out that she had received a 5, the top score on the exam, she couldn’t wait to tell him!

He was able to attend the ceremony with some family members and got reacquainted with Liljana. Love lives here!

During National Nurses Month, we’re highlighting members of the Saint Therese nursing team and the experiences that continue to shape the care they provide each day.

At Saint Therese of Woodbury, RN Gaynor Gibson and Director of Clinical Services/RN Kristin Stewart shared how nursing is rooted not only in clinical care, but also in relationships, compassion, and helping residents maintain independence and dignity.

For Gaynor, nursing has always been an opportunity to bring positivity and support to others through both medical care and human connection. Kristin emphasized the importance of beginning in hands-on caregiving roles, like CNA positions, to better understand residents, support fellow team members, and build a strong culture of care.

Both also spoke about the importance of creating meaningful relationships with residents and families in a more homelike environment.

Thank you to Gaynor, Kristin, and all of our nurses for the leadership, compassion, and dedication they bring to Saint Therese communities each day.

Congratulations to Bella Harris and Liljana Djurich of East Ridge High School, recipients of this year’s Saint Therese Youth Volunteer Scholarships!

Bella and Liljana each received a $2,000 educational scholarship in recognition of their volunteer service at Saint Therese of Woodbury, where they demonstrated compassion, leadership and a strong commitment to enriching the lives of older adults.

Bella plans to attend Loyola University Chicago to study nursing, while Liljana will attend the University of Wisconsin–Madison to pursue genetics and genomics. Thank you both for sharing your time and talents with Saint Therese, and congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!

Last evening, we ended our Hawaiian themed day for National Nursing Home Week, with a Luau BBQ on our new patio in the Rosewood. Complete with delicious shrimp and chicken skewers as well as pina coladas, and banana splits! The weather was nearly perfect with just a slight breeze! Residents were so delighted to have their meal outside! We had Hawaiian music playing on the speaker and smiles were everywhere!

The sun's out, the weather's warm and we're getting the trishaw ready for residents to enjoy at Saint Therese of Woodbury. Elizabeth Anderson was busy taking waiver forms earlier this week in preparation for our first day on May 26! Last year we ran over 160 rides -- we're looking to beat that record this year!
