As 2009 ends, a stroll down memory lane for Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital and Courtland Gardens Nursing & Rehabilitation Center reminded me of many interesting things, but the one that stands out is the change at the top.
Ron Rothstein resigned as president and COO of Levindale and Courtland Gardens and Vice President of Operations of Post Acute Services at LifeBridge Health to concentrate on his passions for his family and for sailing. His innovations are a wonderful legacy at both centers.
To continue Ron’s legacy and to create an exciting new future for Levindale and Courtland Gardens, Administrator Aric Spitulnik stepped up and took the leadership reins. He was chosen as the president of both centers and the vice president of Operations of Post Acute Services at LifeBridge Health.
In addition to overseeing operations at the nursing homes and the Levindale Specialty Hospital, Aric is spearheading phase one of a new resident complex and town hall center at Levindale on the Belvedere campus. If all goes as planned, construction should begin in January.
Aric’s work to expand and renovate Levindale’s physical structures are just part of his vision. Through culture change, he has worked to empower residents and patients at both centers.
“Levindale has been serving the community for more than 100 years, bringing our residents the wonderful medical care, a home-like atmosphere and innovative programs, and I am proud to lead the organization into the next generation,” says Aric. “I work with an amazing team of employees who puts the quality of care first.”
