Abramson Center Honors Employee

Certified nursing assistant Robin Montgomery received the 2016
Phyllis Abramson Licht (PAL) Award for providing exceptional
care to seniors at the Madlyn and Leonard Abramson Center for
Jewish Life, where she’s worked for 15 years. The award, which
features a cash gift and a luncheon in the recipient’s name, was
established in 2004 by Dr. Stuart Licht in memory of his wife. It’s
presented annually around the time of what would have been Mrs.
Licht’s birthday to a nursing assistant who provides compassion-
ate and skilled care to Abramson residents.
