“Dr. Adler has been a pillar to our hospice and palliative care program since its inception in 1984. His calming influence, wealth of knowledge, and patient advocacy expertise provide invaluable guidance and inspiration to our care team and to other physicians caring for those we serve,” said Debra Hoppel, Director of Hospice and Palliative Care at the VNA of Somerset Hills. “In addition, his passionate commitment to provide comfort, support and dignity to all Adult Day Club members, patients and families is a value we embrace across the organization.”

Providing person-centered care in an interactive group setting, the Club is ideal for adults needing companionship throughout the day. Caregivers also benefit because it allows them the freedom to go to work, handle personal business or just relax knowing their loved one is well cared for and safe. The Club has served more than 1,000 community members during the past 27 years.
