100 Looks Good On Us Both

Meet Mrs. Mattie McGough from Memphis, TN.

Mattie, like Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, recently celebrated her centennial birthday. In fact, the team at Methodist North Hospital honored the occasion with some sweet treats to mark such a significant milestone. Along with the Methodist North caregivers, three generations of the McGough family filled the hospital room with conversation, laughter and love while Mattie recovered from pneumonia.

Mattie, who actually turned 101 in November 2017, has remained active all her life, happily eats a healthy diet and loves to be surrounded by family. She’s only been hospitalized one other time, when she was 94, for hip surgery.

“It’s heart-warming to see children take an active role in their parents’ care,” said supervising physician, Michael Agapos, M.D. He added, that “it’s especially beneficial for the grandchildren and great-grandchildren to see their parents in such a nurturing role.”
