Project Transformation ETA
A groundbreaking ceremony for the 24-bed short-stay Sosin Center for Rehabilitation was held May 5, 2015, with early site preparation beginning in June. In July, the Department of Public Health approved plans for the Center which will be built in the small house model of care. It is named after the George Sosin, a long-time JGS supporter and volunteer, who made an extraordinary gift of $3 million to JGS. The Sosin Center will be connected to the existing nursing home by a bright promenade that will include Michael’s Café, a new kosher coffee shop and cafeteria. The Sosin Center will be completed in approximately 12 – 14 months.
