(November 28, 2022 – ROCHESTER, NY) On Wednesday, November 30, The Clare and Jerry Rotenberg Institute on Aging at Jewish Senior Life will launch its inaugural series, Let’s Talk Positive Aging, from 2:00 until 3:30 p.m. in the Sands Center located at Jewish Home of Rochester. The Clare and Jerry Rotenberg Institute on Aging at Jewish Senior Life strives to be the hub of knowledge and innovation to promote all aspects of positive aging—physical, social, emotional, and spiritual. The Institute encompasses programs that assist older adults, their children and their caregivers as they navigate the challenges of aging while maintaining a healthy, active life. The topic for this symposium will be age-friendly communities.
“Clare and Jerry Rotenberg’s vision for addressing healthy aging and meaningful living provides us with the opportunity to build upon Jewish Senior Life’s excellent reputation as the primary resource for age-related services in the greater Rochester region,” says Thomas McDade Clay, Executive Director at Jewish Senior Life Foundation. He continues, “The Rotenberg Institute will be an essential community asset, providing the support and information necessary for healthy aging, while highlighting the broad array of services available to the community through Jewish Senior Life.”
Leanne Rorick, Director of Monroe County Aging Alliance, will be the keynote speaker at the event, followed by a panel discussion featuring Rorick and several experts from Jewish Senior Life: Daniel Mendelson, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Vice President, Medical Services; Matt Berliner, PT, DPT, OCS, Manager, Outpatient Therapy; and Courtney Porray, RD, Director, The Clare and Jerry Rotenberg Institute on Aging.
