MorseLife Art of Generosity

MORSELIFE HONORS ART DONORS AND SUPPORTERS AT ‘THE ART OF GENEROSITY’ EVENT AT THE NORTON MUSEUM OF ART

MorseLife Health System recently honored supporters who have donated art to the MorseLife Permanent Art Collection at a special reception following its 2019 Biennial Meeting. The Art of Generosity reception was held on Thursday, April 4th at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach.

“Just last year, Morse Health Center became Joint Commission accredited, an achievement which is held by the top hospitals in the country and only a select few nursing homes,” said President and CEO of MorseLife Health System Keith A. Myers. “Most nursing homes never achieve this success because they do not want to go through the rigors of certification by an outside accreditation agency, but we at Morse Health Center feel that we owe this to our community and always want to test our quest for excellence.”

Mr. Myers reported on the numerous honors that MorseLife has received over the past two years, including the new hospice and palliative care center that just opened and the sales success at the Stephen and Petra Levin Palace, the five-star resort-like independent living tower on the 37-acre campus at MorseLife.

Terri Sriberg was honored with The Chairman’s Award for her almost 20-year commitment and dedication to MorseLife. Mrs. Sriberg, an interior designer, assembled the donated and commissioned art on the campus of MorseLife. This prestigious award was established by former Chairman David Markin. Previous honorees are Sheila and Alec Engelstein, David Mack and Marilyn and Stanley Katz.

It was announced by friend Judie Schlager as a special surprise at the reception that a new nursing scholarship, the Terri and Paul Sriberg Nursing Scholarship Fund, has been established at MorseLife in memory of Paul Sriberg, Mrs. Sriberg’s beloved husband who passed earlier this season.

A dramatic video of the donated and commissioned artwork now enhancing the MorseLife campus was created for the reception inside the Norton Museum of Art. The art pieces range from large oil paintings to life-size sculptures and statues, as well as decorative arts. In addition, each piece was professionally photographed, archived and featured in a limited-edition coffee table book as a keepsake and additional thank you for donors.
