It's not easy to get back on track when life throws you a curve. Just ask David Penn. He loved to dance and debate and planned to do so for many years but life didn't turn out as he planned. A debilitating stroke dramatically changed his course and led David and his family to St. Mary's Adult Day Health Center. Though he was skeptical at first, David found a warm and gentle community that helped revive his body, mind and spirit. This is his story.

Nobody lives for the day more than we do." That's how manager Jim Penczykowski sums up his close-knit, gentle community at St. Mary's Adult Day Health Center. Staff members are more like family and volunteers say they get more than they give. It's the kind of place some clients build a life around.
