The team
Tony Callipari, Physician Liaison
“I look forward to seeing our residents every day. I take care of them. I schedule them for their appointments to make sure that they’re getting the things that they need. They’re able to get back into society and back out as soon as possible.”
Jessica Mitchell, Social Worker
“I love to come to work every day. The best part of my job is seeing people transition back out to the community and continue to live the lives that they lived before coming here.”
Jerkara Burwell, Activities Director
Residents tell me all the time how happy they are here, how much they look forward to all of our programs that we put together. It’s just an awesome place to be.
The residents
Jill
“I’ve seen a huge difference in myself. I’m stronger, more viable, they’re very friendly, they’re very helpful. It feels like a family.”
Emma
“What’s my favorite thing? When we get together and everybody’s having a good time and we go outside and get some fresh air. I love it. They have a program that they do exercise, but it doesn’t seem like exercises because it is so much fun.”
John
“My favorite thing about the Bishop Center is the type of people that work here. They have a genuine interest in helping their residents, and they know their job very well. They do an excellent job.”

A native of Syracuse who also lived down the road on James Street, Ms. Hennen, according to her niece Marie Pullano, was a most reliable and respected employee who worked for 40 years in the print shop at Crouse-Hinds Company, later known as Eaton Crouse-Hinds. Margaret was 65 years old upon retirement.
Additionally, Ms. Hennen is of Italian descent. Following her retirement, she married her love, Mr. Roman Hennen, and relocated to Arizona to live the good life, playing golf and entertaining friends. Margaret also loved traveling to Europe, visiting Italy and throughout the continent, which was her passion.
Now in 2022, at 104, Margaret was all smiles with a delicious birthday cake, plus a corsage and a “104” sewed onto a shirt she wore, thanks to the recreation staff at the 440-bed nursing facility Bishop Rehabilitation & Nursing. Happy 104th, Margaret!
