Khristel Simmons Takes Reins of

Aging and Nutrition Programs

Please help us congratulate the new leader of our Aging and Nutrition programs, Khristel Simmons! 

Khristel is a familiar face at the Isaacs Center: she's worked with Older Adults here for over 8 years in various capacities. Recently she has successfully led tremendous growth in our food programs.

In her new role as Associate Vice President for Aging and Nutrition Services, she oversees four older adult centers and three NORCs (Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities) here and at our partner, Goddard Riverside. She's also leading food and nutrition programs throughout both agencies.

Good Spooky Fun: An Isaacs Center Halloween

Halloween was a busy day at the Isaacs Center. It started with a party for the Older Adults from 2-4 PM, including dancing and a costume contest. Then we flung open to doors to everybody for an all-ages celebration complete with costumes, music and pizza! Thanks to everyone who came to share the fun with us—and to the Holmes-Isaacs Coalition for co-sponsoring the community party.

The Stanley M. Isaacs Neighborhood Center (Isaacs Center) is a non-profit, multi-service organization located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan focused on the needs of children and low-income families, out-of-school and out-of-work youth, and aging New Yorkers, including our isolated and homebound elderly neighbors.

PARTNERSHIP WITH GODDARD RIVERSIDE: In May 2021, the Isaacs Center entered into a strategic partnership with Goddard Riverside with the purpose of enhancing the services that both organizations provide to New Yorkers. Read about it here.
