Navigating the Elder Care Universe
Ron Gold Speaking at TEDx NJIT
When a head-on bicycling crash with an SUV crushed my spine and left me a paraplegic in 2011, I found very little inspiration from my very broken body. That is, until I realized how my broken body could be the impetus to help fix America’s broken home care system.

Enjoy the Summer,
A recent Pew Research Center analysis of federal employment data shows in May 2000, 12.8 percent of those older than 65 held a job. By May 2016, the number had climbed substantially, to 18.8 percent.
