Joe first learned about Regina Health Center
(RHC) in 2009, when he was searching for a
Catholic-based nursing home for his mother. He
met with Sister Margaret Taylor, SIW, and learned

compassionate care in a faith-based environment.
After his mother moved in, Joe quickly became involved with supporting RHC. As an
avid golfer, he was a natural fit with the Holy-In-One Golf Outing. When asked about
being a sponsor for the golf outing, he didn’t hesitate to say yes. He and Cindy have
been involved with RHC ever since. Joe currently serves as the president of the Regina
Health Center Board of Directors and is a longtime member of the finance committee.
In the community, Joe and Cindy are active parishioners at St. Basil the Great Catholic
Church in Brecksville.
Education—and ongoing education—has long been important to both Cindy and Joe.

Finding the Silver Linings
a letter from the executive director
In my last letter in this newsletter, I talked about how there is hope in the sacrifices
our residents and their loved ones have had to make due to the pandemic. Even as
the pandemic has gone on much longer than we could have anticipated, that hope
still remains and continues to grow with each passing day. We have chosen
to see the silver linings throughout these trying times.
We received fantastic news on March 11 from the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) that indoor visitation was once again permitted. There
are still restrictions to keep residents safe—such as mask wearing and advanced
reservations—but in-person visits and physical contact (hugs) are allowed.
These easing of restrictions are due in part to the commitment so many have made to lessen the spread of
COVID-19, as well as the high percentage of residents and employees who have been fully vaccinated.
Regina Health Center was one of the first facilities in Ohio to receive the vaccine. By the middle of January, the
second dose of vaccines had already been given. This also meant we were able to reopen our dining rooms to
residents. To stay socially distanced, only two people are allowed at a table, but residents are still thrilled to be
able to be with others and eat outside of their rooms. Our activities department also has residents doing activities
together again, while remaining socially distanced.
All of this said, we remain vigilant so we don’t regress in our strides with COVID-19 and can keep everyone safe,
maintain indoor and outdoor visitation, and remain hopeful as we continue to take small steps to get us closer to
an end to the pandemic.
Another positive sign is our Holy-In-One Golf Outing, which is planned for August 19. Thankfully, with some
modifications, we were able to hold it last year and still raise more than $215,000 through the generosity of many
sponsors, golfers and donors. We look forward to a safe and successful event again this
year at Firestone Country Club.
Regina Health Center In our quest for a brighter future, we kicked off the Regina Health Center Endowment
Fund in 2020. We’re excited to announce that we’re less than $100,000 from reaching

Lake Monica on the Mt. Augustine grounds
Farewell: Bill Vorndran Exemplifies
a Commitment to Mission for 48 Years
There’s a long-running joke at Regina Health
Center (RHC) that Director of Maintenance
Bill Vorndran has been around so long, he
was found by the sisters as a baby floating in
a basket among the reeds in Lake Monica on
the Mt. Augustine grounds.
His story isn’t quite as legendary as Moses, but Bill has
been working at Mt. Augustine—which is the Sisters of
Charity of St. Augustine Motherhouse—since 1973. That
was 20 years before RHC even came into existence.
Bill’s tenure at Mt. Augustine and RHC finally came to
an end when he retired in early April.
“We are sad to announce the retirement of our dear
friend and beloved employee Bill Vorndran. Everyone
here recognizes Bill for his 48 years of congeniality,
dedication and service,” said Mark Yantek, RHC
executive director.

maintenance for all equipment, buildings and the
expansive grounds, plus he managed all areas related to
safety at RHC. For his many years of helping keep RHC
in top shape, LeadingAge Ohio honored Bill in 2010 with
its Excellence in Caring–Indirect Award.
In addition to his full-time job at RHC, Bill worked
weekends for the Broadview Heights Police Department
for many years as an auxiliary patrolman. He also has
had a lifelong love of airplanes and flying, and received a
student aviation license.
FULFILLING WORK
Speaking about his time at RHC, Bill said, “I loved the
diversity of the many roles and the variety of work was
very fulfilling.” In a “resident caregiver spotlight” article
about Bill in the spring 2014 issue of The Heart of Regina
Health Center, he had this to say about RHC, “I like
being here. You can’t ask for a more beautiful setting and
atmosphere here. Everyone genuinely cares about each
other.”
He said he was very proud to be part of the planning

12Charitable
Gift Annuities
In 2020, Regina Health Center received several finished charitable gift annuities totaling more than $128,000.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, these finished charitable gift annuities were a particular blessing as budgets
were blown out of the water. Low census numbers, staffing costs, PPE, safety equipment for staff and resident
needs, updating technology, cleaning supplies, meal delivery containers and multiple other unexpected expenses
all contributed to budget challenges.
Charitable Gift Annuities (CGA) were the giving tool these donors used to support Regina Health Center. CGA
donors donor benefit from receiving annual income during their lifetime and a partial tax deduction on their gifts.
Going forward, a percentage of finished charitable gift annuities will go toward the endowment fund.
The amount of the charitable gift annuity is determined
by the size of the donation and the donor’s age. The
American Council on Gift Annuities suggests the GIVE $10,000 or more.
following payout rates for a single-donor annuity:
10.5% Age 90+ 6.7% Age 75
8.9% Age 85 6.1% Age 70
7.6% Age 80 5.7% Age 65
REGINA
Following these rates, a 65-year-old who donates
$50,000 will receive a yearly payout of $2,850

($50,000 x 5.7%) until their death.
