PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
The Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation strives to provide, with compassion and dedication, superior quality health care and rehabilitation for adults. Through continual improvement of Parker’s programs and services, we will be a leader in health care delivery and education.
Throughout 2025, The Parker Jewish Institute continued meeting the needs of New York’s fast-growing, aging population. Bringing innovation to the forefront, Parker, a non-profit organization, delivered superior patient care and rehabilitation, with warmth and compassion. What began as a shelter in 1907, serving just 25 indigent men and women, is now a nationally recognized 527-bed skilled nursing facility, whose comprehensive network of community health care programs serves thousands of adults each year. As always, Parker remains committed to training health care professionals and conducting research for the aging, reflecting the organization’s dedication to advancing health care and improving lives.
