2015 Chairman’s Appreciation Awardee: Private Wealth Advisors

Redstone Presbyterian SeniorCare is proud to present this year’s Chairman’s Appreciation Award to Private Wealth Advisors of Greensburg, PA.  Private Wealth Advisors (PWAUSA) is a financial advisement firm dedicated to making the management of assets as simple as possible for its clients.  Over the years, the firm has advised several Redstone residents, including sisters Marjorie and Mary Louise Lord.  Following their deaths, PWA was responsible for distributing assets from the residual of their trust fund.  Knowing the sisters’ appreciation for the care they had received at Redstone, the leadership at PWA directed these funds to Redstone Presbyterian SeniorCare.  Most recently, the remaining funds from the estate were used to construct the new Sisters Bistro on the Greensburg campus.
