Mission 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.
Message Parker is meeting the challenge of a rapidly increasing adult population with growth and innovation, while maintaining the warmth and compassion that have always distinguished Parker’s services and staff. Since its inception in 1907 as a shelter for 25 indigent men and women, Parker Jewish Institute has evolved into a nationally recognized 527-bed, non-profit center for the health care and rehabilitation of adults, and a comprehensive network of community health care programs for adults. The Institute is a leading academic campus for the training of health care professionals, and an important research center for studies related to aging. Parker is a partner in AgeWell New York, a New York State authorized managed long term care plan and a Medicare advantage plan, dedicated to delivering the level and scope of care needed to feel well and live well at home. We are proud to say that excellence is the standard at Parker.
