Board of Directors of United Hebrew Welcomes New Member

From Harrison Edwards PR:

Thomas Ferrara, who has spent decades helping individuals and businesses plan for the future, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of United Hebrew of New Rochelle, President and CEO Rita Mabli announced. Ferrara, 61, is the founder of Future Value Associates of Pound Ridge. In his new role on the board, he will provide special insight into the needs of the elderly, as well as serve as an “ambassador” of the organization – a resource for people seeking high-quality eldercare.

Mabli said she encouraged Ferrara to join the board as she believed he had the right attitude to help United Hebrew’s mission. “Mr. Ferrara has the experience to be a wonderful board member and to help guide United Hebrew as we continue to expand our reach in the region,” she said. “Even more important, his heart is in the right place. He does not merely advise people, he cares deeply about them.”

His company, which he founded 20 years ago, helps individuals and businesses plan for the years, and even decades, to come. “It’s what society should be focusing on with our aging population, and it goes beyond just the resident who is being cared for; it extends to the family as well,” he said. “United Hebrew understands that and provides that compassionate care.”

According to Ferrara, he was moved from the very first visit to United Hebrew by the way the staff and programs were organized. “They help residents in all stages of aging to live life to the fullest,” he said. “All the good things I had heard about the organization were true. Besides the service it provides for assisted living and long-term care, it also has become an excellent rehabilitation resource in the Westchester area with its affiliation with Burke Rehabilitation. This is a true campus of comprehensive care."

Ferrara has served on several boards, and is currently a member of the boards of Calvary Hospital in New York City, the Fred S. Keller School, and the John J. Cardinal O’Connor School.
“We are fortunate to have someone of Mr. Ferrara’s caliber on the board,” said Board President Donald Duberstein. “His experience meshes perfectly with what we need to continue offering the best services possible and enhancing the lives of the growing senior population in the region.”
