“It’s been a thrill to bring back this historic event,” David Gentner, president and CEO of Wartburg, said. “It’s the perfect kickoff to our 150th anniversary and the festivities surrounding it. We couldn’t have timed it better.”
The conference center, named in honor of the Rev. Dr. Dale and Yvonne Gatz, will also be unveiled.
“It’s an exciting time at Wartburg,” Pastor Carol Fryer, director of spiritual care and church relations at Wartburg, said. “It is truly a pleasure to be able to offer such an exciting, family-friendly day to our community.”

Among the services are independent living, assisted living, senior housing, long-term skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, adult day services, home health care, pastoral care, memory care and caregiver support.
The Council for Creative Aging & Lifelong Learning programs at Wartburg have been recognized internationally. It was even named on a list of the Best Nursing Homes in New York State by the U.S. News & World Report, for three years in a row.
