THE LEO AND JULIA FORCHHEIMER FOUNDATION LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD The Leo and Julia Forchheimer Foundation the Foundation was established in 1959 to support educational religious and health care-related programs both in the United States and in Israel. It was established by Leo Forchheimera successful businessmanwho had many philanthropic interests the Foundation is named for him and his wife Julia. It has supported programs at institutions such as Albert Einstein College of Medicine Montefiore Medical CenterYeshiva University the Center for Jewish History Shaare Zedek Medical Center in JerusalemHadassah Hospital and the MargaretTietz Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Members of the Forchheimer family have served on the board of the Foundation and have also served on boards of institutions receiving grants from the Foundation. The Foundation has had a long connection with both the Margaret Tietz Center and the New York Foundation for Eldercare. In 1971The Foundation was instrumental in founding a nursing home which eventually became the Margaret Tietz Center in Jamaica Hills Queens. One of the Foundations trustees was closely involved in the operations of the nursing home and was aware of the increasing need for training and support for geriatric medicine. To that end the Foundation made grants to the New York Foundation for Eldercare in 1982 and 1992 to establish fellowships in geriatric medicine and to fund a unique collaborative geriatric psychiatry program involving professionals from the Montefiore Medical Center and the Margaret Tietz Center. At the time this was a most unusual program with its hands-on geriatric training program in a nursing home setting. Unique to the program is the opportunity for a patient of the MargaretTietz Center to be seen by Geriatric-Psychiatry Program Fellows for purposes of behavioral management psychosocial interventions medication review and recommendations for continued plans of care. The multi-disciplinary sessions have yielded remarkable insights into patient personalities attitudes and care that have had a resounding impact for individual patients and for the participating fellows in geriatric psychiatry. More than 60 Program Fellows have rotated through the program over its 25-year history and many of them are now leaders in geriatrics. NYFE 2014 Recognition Dinner
