In celebration of National Caregivers Day, Bronx Assemblymember from the 77th District, Latoya Joyner visited the staff at Triboro Center on March 6, 2023, to meet and greet the staff and residents, take a tour of the 405-bed skilled nursing facility on Teller Avenue, and hand out certificates to a number Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA's).

Proud CNA's receive their well-deserved certificates from Assemblymember Joyner and Triboro Center leadership

Triboro Center's Director of Nursing Rosemarie Calcano and facility Administrator Shragi Goldberg welcomed the visit with open arms as Ms. Joyner is a big proponent of care for seniors and the disabled in the Bronx where she passed legislation that looks to improve housing conditions and opportunities through the Urban Development Action Area Project (UDAAP), a program that expedites the land review process for low-income housing.

Assemblymember Joyner meets and greets clinical and non-clinical staff.

“Our nursing staff continues to work hard, pandemic or not, and it was really great that Ms. Joyner came on this very special day to honor them,” said Goldberg. “Additionally, the Assemblywoman has made great strides with seniors and the disabled in such a short time and to recognize that these folks continue to be a special part of the Bronx community, Ms. Joyner is very special.”
