There are currently more than 40 million people in the United States over the age of 65, and that number is expected to more than double in the next 20 years. We’re joined by Dr. Ron Garry, Board Certified Gerontologist, and Dr. Jaclynn Faffer, president and CEO of the Naples Senior Center at JFCS to discuss the growing needs of senior citizens in Southwest Florida.
Dr. Garry serves as medical director for two assisted living facilities and a home care company. He is the subsection chief of geriatrics at Naples Community Hospital. He was appointed by Governor Jeb Bush as an expert to the Agency of Health Care Administration.
Dr. Faffer has published numerous articles in professional journals on social work practice and administration and human resource development, and she is immediate past-chair of the Collier County Leadership Coalition on Aging. Dr. Faffer has served as the President/CEO of the Naples Senior Center at JFCS since 2010. The organization is dedicated to providing human service needs to families and seniors in Collier County and southern Lee County.
