Family & Nursing Care’s Founder, Sandy Kursban, was recently recognized as a true example of someone who expands the world of possibilities for aging. The ‘Celebrate Age’ honor was presented to Ms. Kursban by LeadingAge, an association of 5,600 nonprofit organizations that advance policies, promote practices and conduct research that supports, enables and empowers people to live fully as they age, at their national conference on October 18. 2011.
“It was inspiring to feature 50 remarkable seniors as we celebrated our 50th anniversary,” said Larry Minnix, LeadingAge president & CEO. “Sandy Kursban embodies what we are about: inspire, serve and advocate.”
“My mother Sandy has had a lifelong commitment to the well-being of the aging population, and her life’s work in founding Family & Nursing Care in 1968 and the Family & Nursing Care Foundation in 2008 has transformed the way people age,” said Neal Kursban, President of Family & Nursing Care. “We are so pleased that she is being recognized for her important work in enhancing the quality of life for older adults. I am so proud of her.”
