2022 Highlights

Virtual Excursions at Parker

On Thursday, March 24, 2022, Parker teamed up with the WeGo Foundation to give patients/ residents the opportunity to virtually visit museums. Thanks to new technology, known as “telepresence robotics”, patients/residents can tour their museum and zoo of choice, as they listen speak, and move around with their tour guide.

Parker’s Redesigned Website

On Wednesday, August 3, 2022, Parker successfully launched a new website. Our new website is specifically designed to be user-friendly. Navigating through each of our inpatient and community health services, attaining vital community health updates, and discovering ways to become an active member of our community, has never been easier. Our new website also provides highlights of Parker’s patients/residents experience, as well as fun safety health tips.

Parker’s Indian Cultural Unit

While the world of health care is continuously changing, it is important that Parker Jewish Institute meets the needs of Queens and Nassau’s growing Indian population. Our Indian Cultural Committee has succeeded in creating a home-like environment for our Indian population residing at Parker. Throughout the year our Indian Cultural Committee hosted a series of cultural and religious events, from Holi, Rama Navami, to the festival of lights, Diwali. Each celebratory event was adorned with beautiful cultural relics, and lively performances by renowned Indian artists such as Siddhi Vaishnav, Amgel Shah and Manjula Sharma.
