Wartburg, an award-winning provider of comprehensive senior residential and health care services, recently celebrated a return to its annual Jazz in June fundraiser held on its meadow with nearly 200 guests and 48 sponsors. This year”™s event featured local performers, including Pretty for the People, a jazz ensemble made up of students and professors from SUNY Purchase, and LaChanze, a Mount Vernon native with award-winning performances on Broadway and in films.
The celebration honored Wartburg and the hundreds of talented and diverse staff who put themselves on the front lines during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. A memorial video was part of the program. “In years to come, we will look back on this time and, while we will never forget the sorrow and the losses we have endured, we will also most certainly remember the heroics of the Wartburg staff,” said President David Gentner, Ed.D.
Wartburg, located in Westchester County, offers integrated, comprehensive senior residential and health care services. Unlike conventional retirement communities, Wartburg provides a wide range of services to both residents living on its 34-acre campus and people in their own homes. It was named one of the “Best Nursing Homes in New York State” by “U.S. News & World Report” for the ninth consecutive year in 2019.
