More than 300 people from around the country, including Hawaii, have traveled to Cleveland this weekend for the annual management meeting of Life Care Centers of America.

“Our executive directors, regional and divisional leadership, and corporate associates and spouses will come together for four days of learning — company updates and industry information — set amidst a lot of fellowship, inspiration and recommitment to the principles of our mission of serving people,” said Beecher Hunter, Life Care president.

“It is also an important time for us to thank God for His blessings upon our company and to ask for His continued wisdom and guidance.”

The meetings begin Sunday at the Corporate Plaza with breakfast and a program of music and inspiration by The Kingsmen. The sessions will continue through lunch on Wednesday.

Sunday afternoon, guests will participate in a variety of activities in the area, including shopping, zip lining, golfing and visiting Rock City. In the evening, they will enjoy a fall festival at the Corporate Plaza.

Education sessions begin Monday morning, and keynote speakers for the week include comedians Ken Davis and Dennis Swanberg, as well as Dr. James Marcum of Heartwise Ministries.

The program with the biggest attendance will be Monday evening, when Life Care will honor excellence in performance. Among the presentations will be the two highest honors bestowed by Life Care: the Chairman’s Award to an outstanding associate, and the Carl W. Campbell Wind Beneath My Wings Award, which goes to the companywide volunteer of the year. Music for the dinner and awards ceremony will be provided by the ladies of the Life Care Choir, performing a tribute to the movie Sister Act.

Wednesday morning’s highlight will be the Looking Back, Looking Ahead session with addresses by Hunter; Forrest L. Preston, chairman; and Chris Mitchell, chief operating officer.
