NEW YORK (May 30, 2024) — At its 9th annual Eight Over Eighty gala, health care, business and philanthropic leaders in New York City joined The New Jewish Home to celebrate eight outstanding individuals whose lives personify the value of aging well and continuing to make an impact into their 80s and beyond.

An ongoing collaboration between the Burke Rehabilitation Hospital staffed Rehab department, and Nursing at The New Jewish Home’s Westchester campus enhances and supplements the progress patients and residents make in physical therapy.

The New Jewish Home mourns the passing of our 2015 Eight Over Eighty Honoree and former board member Patricia (Pat) Jacobs of blessed memory. Her generosity enhanced the lives of thousands of older adults in our care. Please watch this wonderful short video from the 2015 Gala.

All of us at The New Jewish Home are thrilled that Nurse Practitioner Sonya Choudhury was selected as Upper West Sider of the Month by the West Side Rag! Sonya’s sincere passion for caring for our older residents and patients, as well as her humanitarianism, make her beloved throughout Jewish Home. We’re happy the rest of the City now has the chance to be inspired by Sonya’s altruistic and mission-driven spirit! Thank you to the West Side Rag for this wonderful story.
