25 years of Williamsbridge Center
BY JASON COHEN
Williamsbridge Center on Tomlinson
Ave was Centers Health Care‘s
fi rst facility in 1996 and on March 17, it
celebrated its 25-year anniversary.
CEO Kenny Rozenberg joined the
staff as he reminisced about the past
and looked forward to the future. Centers
Health Care has six facilities in
the Bronx and 19 throughout the tristate
area in total.
He praised the employees for providing
a warm nurturing environment
for the residents, especially during
the past year of the pandemic.
“We’ve made a difference in people’s
lives,” he stated. “You need to
have unbelievable staff to have unbelievable
results. You’re really the ones
who make it all happen. Thank you for
all the hard work you do for the residents.”
Rozenberg recalled how when the
center fi rst began more than two decades
ago it had no computers and
people would order supplies by hand.
But now, the facility is ready for a new
space.
In a few years it will merge with another
