As president and CEO of Parker Jewish Institute, Rosenblut leads one of the nation’s preeminent health care and rehabilitation centers for older adults, guiding the institute’s nationally recognized sub/post-acute care, short-term rehabilitation, long-term care and community divisions. He also directs a leading academic campus for the training of health care professionals and an important research center for studies related to aging.
Under Rosenblut’s aegis, Parker has developed a wide-ranging constellation of community health programs which address the continuum of care, social model day care centers, certified home health agency care and hospice programs. In addition, he has been an effective and respected advocate for long-term care, an individual whose opinion is heard by legislators throughout New York’s metropolitan and downstate region, at the state capitol in Albany, and in Washington, DC.
