9&DINE
The Fifth Annual 9&DINE for St. Pat’s
The 9&DINE for St. Patrick’s Home is truly unique. It provides a social golf experience that’s a hit with seasoned and emerging golfers alike. Our guests appreciate the mid-afternoon start, on-course contests and surprise pit stops, the Patio & Pints reception with live music, and of course sharing good food with great people.

I’m happy to be sharing the summer issue of our newsletter, Keeping the Spirit Alive
In this issue, we introduce you to St. Pat’s “new” President & CEO, Monique Patterson whose career is a testament to hard work, determination and a passion for improving the way we provide long-term care.
In this article Monique talks about building strong teams, supporting innovation, and facilitating home-wide engagement in the advancement of person-directed care. She also talks about the non-profit difference and the essential role that the Foundation and you, our donor family, play in elevating care and improving the quality of our residents’ lives.
The newsletter also features a story about the Columbus Club – Charitable Foundation who made a strategic decision in late 2024 to fund a new clinical trial of ESPRIT.AI technologies at St. Pat’s.
Earlier this month, this led to the installation of Smart Sensors and bed alarms in select rooms on Donegal and Kilkenny to help staff monitor residents and predict their care needs before they arise. Potential outcomes of this trial could include a decrease in wandering and subsequent falls, and a decrease in the number and severity of mobility-related pressure wounds.
Finally, we share the story the annual shamrock campaign – first initiated by the Ladies Auxiliary – and since carried on by two dedicated fellas named Mike, and the Knights of Columbus, Chapter 12158.
So please take a bit of time to read these stories by clicking the link above.
Thank you for your ongoing support,
Meg Friedman
Executive Director, St. Patrick’s Home of Ottawa Foundation
