On Tuesday we had the opportunity to hear an inspiring update from Otterbein CEO Jill Wilson.

Jill highlighted key trends shaping the future:
➡️ A rapidly growing aging population—especially those 85+
➡️ Workforce shortages impacting senior care nationwide
➡️ Ongoing funding challenges for nonprofit communities

Despite these challenges, Otterbein is growing and innovating:
🏡 Expanding communities across Ohio, Indiana, and now Michigan
🌿 Developing Union Village—a vibrant, multi-generational community for up to 12,000 residents
🏗️ Building new homes, assisted living, and community spaces to meet increasing demand

At the heart of it all is a commitment to care, collaboration, and serving older adults of all backgrounds.

Thank you, Jill, for sharing Otterbein’s vision and impact.
