JSL CEO Nancy Heinrich
shared how serving older
adults has given her
purpose as has helping
residents find and embrace
their unique purpose
within each community.
She spoke about exciting
updates at the various
buildings, including current apartment renovations at the
Fleischman and Meer Residences, expanding the patio and
garden in the Meer courtyard, and the upcoming completion
of the expanded Hechtman Residence dining room, which
will allow all residents to enjoy their meals together.

impact he has made in the lives of Holocaust survivors,
and Jennifer Peterson, financial coordinator in Jewish

her peers for her hard work, dedication and passion.

meals at its HUD-subsidized communities, was honored as
well with JSL’s Award of Excellence.
