Great caregiving that delivers resident satisfaction and excellent clinical outcomes is at the core of the success plan for Foundations Health Solutions. This commitment to excellence is attributed to the vision of Foundations Health founder, Brian Colleran. Each month, Brian reviews the best of the best caregivers across the state of Ohio to recognize the Brian Colleran Caregiver of the Month. In Colleran's vision, this is the person that goes above and beyond to provide smiling faces and healthy outcomes. This month's winner is Donna Koster, an stna from Keystone Pointe, a beautiful skilled nursing facility in LaGrange, Ohio.

Donna Koster’s desire to help others is what led her to become an STNA in 2012. Donna started working at Keystone Pointe in the summer of 2012 and found that she regarded the residents she cared for like family. In the summer of 2017 Donna was marrying Ed, a wonderful, upstanding man she had met. After Ed proposed, Donna wondered how she would be able to have the most important people in her life at the ceremony. Donna thought long and deep about this problem and asked the two people she respected most at Keystone, scheduler Kendra Herbold, and HR Director Nancy Palcisko.

Nancy and Kendra initially talked about having some of the residents transported to Donna’s wedding, but Donna then had a great idea. She would have the wedding at Keystone Pointe. Donna and Ed got married in the Keystone Pointe courtyard with over 50 of the residents in attendance. Donna said the wedding would not have seemed right without the residents she regards as family in attendance.

The bride and groom and over 100 guests enjoyed the beautiful weather, a beautiful bride and groom and a perfect ceremony. One of the residents said, "I love her so much I feel like it is my own daughter's wedding day." A resident who is now passed said, 'It was a perfect day for a perfect couple' Donna said to the residents, "Thank you all for joining in my special day, I could not marry this man without celebrating with all who I love."

Donna continues to be a favorite of many of the resident’s at Keystone Pointe. Donna is the true epitome of a caregiver who goes above and beyond.
