Enid, OK — The Northwest Oklahoma Osteopathic Foundation (NOOF) is thrilled to announce the return of the Enid Charity Ball on Saturday, August 16, 2025. This year’s event, themed “Golden Hour: An Evening of Growth and Giving,” promises an elegant evening of celebration, connection, and community impact—all in support of advancing rural healthcare in Northwest Oklahoma. Enid Charity Ball is proud to announce our 2025 Presenting Sponsors: GSP Health, INTEGRIS Health Enid Hospital, and St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center each committed to improving access to quality healthcare in our region.

Held annually as NOOF’s fundraiser, the Enid Charity Ball supports the Foundation’s Physician Recruitment Program, which provides mentoring, scholarships, hands-on experiences, and professional development to future physicians from high school through medical residency. A new component of the program offers financial incentives to physicians with ties to Northwest Oklahoma, encouraging them to return and serve the rural communities where they’re needed most.

The 2025 event will feature a formal dinner, craft cocktails, live and silent auctions, and live music by Hook, a fan-favorite regional band. Guests will be welcomed into a beautifully styled venue with hues of light and navy blue, gold, and wildflower-inspired colors, reflecting the warmth of Oklahoma’s sunsets and the promise of tomorrow’s healthcare leaders. Over 250 guests are expected, including physicians, medical students, community leaders, donors, and healthcare advocates.

A highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the 2025 Physician of the Year Award, recognizing a physician who exemplifies service, leadership, and a lifelong commitment to medicine and community. Established in 2024, the award honors excellence in osteopathic medicine and local impact. Last year’s honoree, Dr. Gary Patzkowsky, is a long-respected physician in Enid. Inspired by his father’s dedication to family medicine, Dr. Patzkowsky has served the Enid area since 1983 in family practice, occupational medicine, and mentoring.

How Can Skilled Nursing Facilities Benefit Older Adults?

By
Lori Waken

Often, a person is not ready to return to their home safely following hospitalization and needs more care to continue to gain strength and improve health. A skilled nursing facility (SNF) is a type of nursing facility with the necessary staff and equipment to temporarily treat, manage, and observe your condition and evaluate your care following a hospital stay. SNFs can be part of nursing homes or hospitals. When you’re admitted to a SNF, you may get care from:

  • Doctors
  • Registered nurses
  • Licensed practical and vocational nurses
  • Physical and occupational therapists
  • Speech-language pathologists

All qualifying patients have the right to choose which skilled nursing facility they wish to provide their care. It is important to have an idea of the facilities and services available in your area before the need arises.

Why would I need care in a SNF?

SNFs offer both skilled nursing and skilled therapy care. Skilled nursing care is designed to help improve your condition through nursing and medical services and prevent or delay it from worsening. Skilled therapy care is designed to improve your condition through physical, occupational, and speech therapies and set up a maintenance program to maintain your condition and delay or prevent it from worsening. Skilled care helps you get better, function more independently, and may help you manage your health moving forward.

Will Medicare cover SNF care?

Typically, Medicare will cover the first 20 days of SNF care at 100%. Medicare then covers 80% of the next 80 days, with secondary insurance covering the remaining 20%.

Medicare will cover SNF care only if all of these are true:

  • You have Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and have days left in your benefit period
  • You have a medically necessary inpatient hospital stay of 3 consecutive days (3 midnights) or more (called a “qualifying hospital stay”)
  • Your hospitalization was for a medical need determined to be a qualified skilled need by Medicare

How long does Medicare cover SNF care?

Medicare uses a period of time called a benefit period to keep track of how many days of SNF benefits you use and how many are still available. A benefit period begins on the day you start getting inpatient hospital or SNF care. You can get up to 100 days of SNF coverage in a benefit period. Your benefit period ends:

  • When you haven’t been in a SNF or a hospital for at least 60 days in a row
  • If you remain in a SNF without getting skilled care there for at least 60 days in a row
  • Once you use 100 days in your benefit period

There’s no limit to the number of benefit periods you can have. However, once a benefit period ends, you must have another 3-day qualifying hospital stay and meet other requirements before you can get up to another 100 days of SNF benefits.

Greenbrier Skilled Nursing has served Enid and Northwest Oklahoma since 1998. Medical Director Dr. Thomas Snyder, Skilled Nursing Director Bobbie Jo Sutton, and physical therapists Dan and Lisa Burchel have provided compassionate and high-quality care to patients since opening day. One of the first freestanding skilled nursing facilities in Oklahoma, Greenbrier Skilled has developed a reputation for providing exceptional care and enabling patients to return to their homes stronger, healthier, and more successful in daily life. Private pay options are available for patients not qualifying for Medicare admission, and tours are welcome. Call 580-242-5104 for more information.

FURever Friends Animal Rescue – Local Legend

By

FURever Friends Animal Rescue is located in a building over on Grand, but their services reach wider and further than the building from which they operate. They’ve been operating for approximately 15 years, and their mission is “to provide vet care, love, and compassion to abused strays and neglected dogs.” They strive to “provide them with a loving, safe environment while ensuring that they are placed in loving furever homes.” In addition to the care and compassion they show animals, they also want to educate people on vet care, which includes spaying, neutering, and vaccinations. What started as an effort to be a resource for animals in the community quickly turned into a full-blown rescue organization.

When FURever Friends Animal Rescue takes on an animal, they provide them with a complete vetting, which includes spaying, neutering, checking them for parasites, vaccinations, heartworm check, and Bordetella checks. They also take on a lot of sick and injured animals, and they care for them while nurturing them back to health and ultimately finding them a furever home. Melba Evans, Director of FURever Friends, recalls spending up to $8,000 on one dog while getting them the care they needed. They’ve also helped many pet owners and lovers with food, crates, and vet care. They’ve even been a financial lifeline for pets in need of emergency veterinarian lifesaving care. To date, FURever Friends Animal Rescue has rescued close to 10,000 animals.

As an organization, they operate on the kindness of individual donors and supporters. They recently opened up Rudy’s Re-Tail Thrift Store, and all proceeds from the thrift store go to FURever Friends. Donations are used for vet care, food, supplies, utilities, and facility maintenance, and they take donations of cleaning supplies, dog food, clothes, household items, pet supplies, tools, and etc.

Melba states, “We would love for the community to know that we have been dedicated to saving lives in Enid and the surrounding communities for the last 15 years.” Trinity Currier has now rescued two dogs from FURever Friends Animal Rescue, and she states “FURever Friends gives neglected, abandoned, and mistreated dogs a second chance. We’ve rescued both of our dogs from FURever Friends! The organization helped them find their furever home, and we couldn’t be more grateful”. Melba continues with, “I’ve wanted to give up so many times, but my heart just can’t give up on the lives that need us.” That unwavering support, dedication, and perseverance coupled with the impact the organization has had and the number of lives they’ve saved and changed for the better is exactly what makes FURever Friends Animal rescue a Local Legend.

Enid, OK, June 6th, 2025 — Burgundy Place Independent Apartments (a community by Greenbrier Village) has exciting news for everyone in the local area…especially for those active seniors entering their golden years! Voted “Best Senior Living of Enid 2024” by Enid Monthly and “Reader’s Choice Senior Care in 2024” by Enid News & Eagle, event attendees will receive an exclusive look at all the ways Burgundy Place reinforces important opportunities for residents to “Live Life to the Fullest”!

On Saturday, June 14th, 2025, 10am-3pm, Burgundy is proudly opening its doors to give the public a private touring experience of our premier independent Senior Living Apartments. Located at 1600 W. Willow, this open house will feature expertly-guided tours across our sprawling campus by members of our highly-trained staff, making this is a wonderful opportunity to view why Greenbrier Village communities, such as Burgundy Place, have consistently been chosen as Enid’s best over the years. With around-the-clock security, an in-house Maintenance Staff, Weekly Housekeeping, Complimentary Transportation Monday through Friday, and plenty of healthy opportunities for fun and socialization from our abundant activity calendar, Burgundy has created an environment for the independent senior who wants to practice aging in elegance. Our efforts at Burgundy make living the lifestyle you’ve always loved so much easier, even during the transition into your golden era of retirement.

“What sets our independent living apart is our unwavering commitment to freedom, while still providing support. Residents enjoy the lifestyle they want, with peace of mind, knowing help is always near with our 24/7 security,” states Tanner Fore, manager of Burgundy Place apartments. “We’re not just providing housing, we’re creating a vibrant, worry-free way of life that truly resembles and feels like your home!”

Burgundy will be showcasing our unique facility features on June 14th, such as: our on-site Theatrical Cinema, heavily-stocked Library, fully equipped Gym, Café Burgundy, Hair Salon & Nail Salon, plus our new “Miraculous Serenity” Spa & Massage Room. Having made renovations to several of our 1- & 2-bedroom options, our spacious apartment units offer a full kitchen, large living space, and a patio or balcony for gazing out upon our lush garden landscaping. A luxurious gazebo sits within an oasis of colorful flora around our community backyard, and a laundry room can be found on each floor throughout our ever-expanding facilities. Housed at the perfect central location in Enid, close to grocery markets, shopping centers, and a variation of local eateries, you’ll have plenty of options to continue your daily life with ease and grace. Burgundy Place is close to all of Enid’s major access roads, with enough distance between you and the noise, making it the perfect urban retirement location.

The Hackett Family have anchored a continued legacy in the Enid community through their senior living and nursing care facilities. With senior communities ranging from Independent Apartments (Burgundy Place, 1600 W. Willow), an Assisted Living Facility, Nursing Care Facility with a secure Dementia Unit (both at The Homes of Greenbrier), and a Skilled Nursing Unit also located on the original Greenbrier campus (1119 E. Owen K. Garriott), they continue to embrace the philosophy of aging in the most loving and pragmatic ways possible.

“It doesn’t matter what your age is—we want to feel loved, we want to love others, we want to have purpose and feel safe, and most of all…no matter our age…we want to have fun!!! Greenbrier Village General Manager and Owner, Lori Hackett-Long, continues to emphasize, “We truly are Not Bound by Age. [Aspects covered in her book, also titled “Not Bound by Age”, written through her years of Gerontology studies.] That is why we have designed amenities to support independence, while adding potential to overall quality of life. It is independent living, so you can choose to do your own thing or you have the option to participate in socialization by attending one of our weekly activities or events. We make sure we offer our Burgundy residents plenty of opportunity to go out for a special group lunch or dinner, or attend one of the many things happening around town— these experiences together create deeper bonds with others, whether in-house activities or events around town on the ‘Burgundy Bus’. Strong bonds lead to relationships that give way to a meaningful life, with opportunity to interact and support one another. This, truly, is our whole team’s mission—cultivation of a flourishing life for our residents, where they have emotional support, housing security, social community, and too much fun—all of which we strive to serve on a daily basis with a hefty portion of love and compassion.”

As owners of Burgundy Place, which is a creation sprung from the successes of Greenbrier Village, utilizing knowledge, dedication, and compassion passed down to the heirs of Herman and Gail Hackett, the family’s business model has extended far beyond the rooms, services, and amenities offered within their facilities. They’ve created a family among the residents and staff members that grace the halls each and every day. Greenbrier Village has become the standard in living a legacy, and Burgundy Place is waiting to say, “Welcome Home!”.

The public is invited to join us for this splendid open house occasion and tour all the wonders offered within Enid’s Best Retirement Apartment Community: Burgundy Place.

Join Park Avenue Thrift in Celebrating a New Milestone!

Park Avenue Thrift has officially hit a new milestone, and as a result, they are celebrating with the community to share the love! As of this year, Park Avenue Thrift has given back $5 million to local nonprofits and schools, and to celebrate they are planning a series of five community events hosted by five nonprofit partners between June and October of this year!

Park Avenue opened in 2007, and since then, it has continuously given back to the community. They started by funding five nonprofits, and over time, that number has continued to grow as they now support over 40 different nonprofits and schools each year through grants and sponsorships. As for how they’ve reached this milestone, Executive Director of Park Avenue, Stela Jantzen, states, “The answer is simple: everyone. This has been a community-wide effort from day one.” She continues with, “This milestone belongs to all of us.”

Kicking things off this month will be Leonardo’s Children’s Museum! Stop by Leonardo’s Children’s Museum and take advantage of FREE ADMISSION every Sunday in June from 1:00pm-6:00pm thanks to their Milestone Celebration Grant from Park Avenue! The Executive Director of Leonardo’s Children’s Museum, Charlet Ringwald, states “We’re so thrilled to be a part of the Park Avenue Thrift’s Milestone Celebrations! Park Avenue is one of Leonardo’s biggest supporters, and we’re so grateful to have an organization like PAT to support education, quality of life, and so much more in our community.”

The other nonprofits participating in the celebration will be Main Street Enid in July, Enid Public Library in August, Gaslight Theatre in September, and the Enid Symphony Orchestra in October. Stela states, “It’s our way of saying thank you to Enid while continuing our mission: supporting the organizations that make this a great place to live, work, and grow. We’re giving each partner the space to shine and create something meaningful for the community, and we’re so excited to celebrate this milestone with everyone who made it possible.”

The community celebrations are designed to reflect the heart of their organization, and they all offer something joyful and meaningful to the public. The details of each celebration will be announced closer to its date, but Stela shares “you can expect a mix of free events, performances, community gatherings, and family programming, all designed to give to the Enid community.”

Moving forward, Park Avenue is focused on strengthening their grant program, finding new ways to deepen their impact, and growing their support for local schools and nonprofits. They’ve also recently acquired a building that will help them grow behind the scenes while also supporting future opportunities.

Park Avenue Thrift is a nonprofit organization with a mission of strengthening the Enid community through donations, operating a top-notch thrift store, and giving the proceeds to local nonprofit organizations and schools that invest in quality-of-life initiatives, and this new milestone is another testimony to that mission!
