Health Care Association of New Jersey (HCANJ)

Trenton must stop short-changing nursing home residents and the staff who take care of them. Instead of piling on unfunded mandates, critical resources should be spent on hiring more staff and improving care. Otherwise, more than 9,000 current New Jersey nursing home residents risk losing their homes. Tell your state lawmakers: The state must invest now in the welfare of its aging senior population. It’s not a choice, it’s an obligation. #HCANJ #Lawmakers

Celebrating an incredible journey, last month James Gonzalez, President & CEO, retired from Broadway House for Continuing Care. Under his visionary leadership, Broadway House evolved into a premier healthcare facility, dedicated to providing the highest quality care to those, primarily from urban areas, with HIV/AIDS and other debilitating illnesses.., As Jim retires, we reflect on his significant contributions, not only to Broadway House, but also to the New Jersey healthcare community. For over 20 years, HCANJ has been proud and honored to have Jim serve with distinction on its Executive Board, including several terms as Chair. Jim, will be deeply missed, but we hope this new chapter is filled with as much success and fulfillment as the one he’s just concluded. Cheers to you, Jim! #ThankYouJim #RetirementCelebration #EndOfAnEra #BroadwayHouseLegacy
