NEW HYDE PARK (TIP): Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation welcomed more than 110 golfers to its 27^thAnnual Golf Classic at Glen Oaks Club, in Old Westbury, on Monday, August 5. The fundraiser’s honoree was Eric P. Simon, a health care industry expert and a principal of the New York City office of the law firm Jackson Lewis.

A day on the links was followed by dinner and an awards program, during which Michael N. Rosenblut , Parker’s president and CEO, welcomed guests. He thanked Mr. Simon for his outstanding support to Parker and for his dedication to the field by representing more than 35 skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities.

“We are delighted to have Eric as this year’s honoree,” said Michael N. Rosenblut, Parker’s president and CEO. “He represents a firm that is aligned with similar beliefs as ours, demonstrating commitment to service excellence and leadership in our respective industries.  The money raised at the golf outing will go right back into Parker, helping us to continue to fulfill our mission as a nonprofit skilled nursing facility to deliver programs and advance quality of care for our patients.”

Mr. Rosenblut recognized Parker Chairman’s Peter Seideman, along with members of Parker’s Board of Trustees for helping to make the event such a success.

At the dinner, Mr. Rosenblut addressed the more than 150 guests.

“The needs of our senior population – the nation’s largest – makes your support more critical than ever. They might be at Parker’s facility for sub-acute care, short-term rehabilitation, social adult day care, home health care, hospice, or our on-site dialysis clinic, Queens-Long Island Renal Institute. Perhaps they’re served by our medical transport division, Lakeville Ambulette, or AgeWell New York, our managed long-term care plan. Your generosity helps improve the quality of life for the many hundreds of people we serve each day,” he said.

Since its inception in 1907 as a shelter for 25 indigent men and women, Parker Jewish Institute evolved into a nationally renowned 527-bed, non-profit center for the health care and rehabilitation of older adults, offering a comprehensive network of community health care programs. The institute is a leading academic campus for the training of health care professionals.

Located at the border of Queens and Nassau counties, Parker’s campus provides a full range of care, including the Queens-Long Island Renal Institute. Offering a helping hand at every stage, Parker is also the majority member of AgeWell New York, a New York State authorized managed long-term care and Medicare Advantage plan, dedicated to delivering the level and scope of services needed to “feel well and live well” at home.
