Life includes all ages and stages. What if there was a place that could integrate facilities in a way that would beneficially serve multiple ages together?
Such a new facility is being created in rural Kansas. Thanks to the Phillips County Review and writer Brennan Engle for much of the following information.
Cy Moyer was a retired banker, outstanding community leader, great gentleman, and a long-time board member of the Huck Boyd Foundation and the Dane G. Hansen Foundation in Phillips County.
He was also a personal friend of mine and a co-founder of the Huck Boyd Institute. Cy passed away on April 7, 2023 at age 88. Sixteen days before his passing, Cy’s last public official act was to participate in the groundbreaking of an innovative new project of which he had been a strong supporter.
The project is called Logan Intergenerational Family and Education Center, or LIFE Center. It’s to be located in the Phillips County community of Logan.
Logan school principal David Kirkendall was living near Greensburg when he saw that community devastated by the 2007 tornado. As he saw public facilities rebuilt – including the hospital, school and nursing home — he wondered if they could have been combined.
