LONGMEADOW, Massachusetts –JGS Lifecare hosted its 41^st Annual Frankel-Kinsler Classic Day of Tournaments at Twin Hills Country Club in Longmeadow, Massachusetts recently. Drawing more than 200 guests to golf, card-playing tournaments, and a celebratory awards dinner, the event raised more than $115,000 to support senior care at The Leavitt Family Jewish Home, Ruth’s House Assisted Living, Sosin Center for Rehabilitation, Wernick Adult Day Health Care, Spectrum Home Health and Hospice Care, and Genesis House.

“We’re overwhelmed by the tremendous show of support from businesses and individuals throughout Western Massachusetts, said JGS Vice President of Development and Communications Susan Halpern. “Event proceeds will enrich programming and services for the more than 400 people cared for each day across the JGS Lifecare family of services, as well as support staff skill and career advancement through the funding of educational scholarships.”

Co-Chairman Jeff Grodsky welcomed participants at the awards dinner noting that the event honors the memory of Michael Frankel, a past chairman of the JGS Board who died suddenly in 2013 at the age 49, and the Raymond and Herman Kinsler families, longtime leaders and supporters of JGS Lifecare. 

Dr. Stuart Anfang, chairman of the JGS Lifecare Board of Directors, welcomed those gathered and provided an update on recent achievements at JGS Lifecare.  He noted recent renovations to Ruth’s House Assisted Living Residence, made possible by a generous contribution from the Ruth and David B. Katz Family and the Ralph and Ruth Webber Family.  He also noted that Northeast Rehab Associates, Inc., under the direction of Cherie Stack, has now moved its practice to the JGS Lifecare campus, bringing its specialized orthopedic, cardiac, pulmonary and respiratory care to Sosin Center for Rehabilitation, taking advantage of Sosin’s non-institutional setting to offer person-centered rehabilitation services.
