The St. Andrews / McCready Manor
Board of Directors
St. Andrews owes its existence to the personal and financial sacrifices of many people over many years. A bequest to the First Presbyterian Church of Richmond, Kentucky provided the vision for what eventually became St. Andrews Retirement Community. The will of Stephen McCready specified the bequest be used “to found or enlarge or endow a nursing and retirement community,” in loving memory of his wife Isabelle Bennett McCready. First Baptist Church, First Methodist Church, and First Christian Church, all of Richmond, KY, joined First Presbyterian Church under the guidance of Dr. William R. Young, Jr., pastor of the church, in the venture. A Board of Directors comprised of three members each from our four sponsoring churches governs the St. Andrews Community.
Ervin Yoder
Board Member
I am married to Kenney Carr Yoder and we have three children and seven grandchildren. We have both been in the healthcare profession, she as an RN and Nurse Practitioner and I as a Nurse Anesthetist, all of our adult lives. I came to Richmond in 1980 and joined Anesthesia Services at Pattie A. Clay Hospital, and later Baptist Health, Richmond and practiced there until I retired in 2017. I enjoy being active at First Baptist Church and woodworking in my shop. I consider it a privilege to serve on the boards of McCready Manor and St. Andrews Place.
