The Gold Foundation celebrates the extraordinary life and legacy of Gold Trustee Elaine Adler |
|
As a Gold Foundation Trustee for nearly 30 years, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, Elaine Adler saw the world as a place for advancing the common good. When others saw obstacles as impossible, Mrs. Adler very often successfully persevered. After her husband, Mike, suffered a stroke and aphasia, they created the Adler Aphasia Center, a groundbreaking and humanistic community and research hub. She passed away recently at the age of 95, leaving behind an immense legacy.
“Elaine was an extraordinary force for humanism in healthcare, and we were so fortunate to have her on the Gold Foundation Board for nearly three decades,” said Richard C. Sheerr, Gold Chairman of the Board. “Along with her husband, Mike, Elaine’s transformational support brought the Nursing White Coat Ceremony to thousands of nursing students and helped expand the Gold Foundation’s mission of humanistic care for all. We mourn the tremendous loss of a unique champion of humanism. Our deepest condolences go out to Elaine’s family and friends.”
