Twin recognitions recognize Mabli’s outstanding career and community achievements
Congratulations to our President & CEO, Rita Mabli, who is the recipient of two prestigious honors that recognize her career achievements and contributions to the long-term care industry: The McKnight’s Women of Distinction Award and the Iona College Women of Achievement Award.
Ms. Mabli is a trailblazer in the world of eldercare who has managed to accomplish much with grace and compassion. Under her leadership, United Hebrew is consistently recognized for superior standards of care. The organization has greatly expanded its services, invested in its infrastructure, and modernized its campus. United Hebrew is now a one-of-a-kind facility where 800 staff members serve 1,000 residents and clients daily.
“It is an honor to receive these awards from two organizations that mean so much to me,” says Ms. Mabli. “Everything I am today has to do with the education and opportunities I received at Iona College. I’m also grateful to McKnight’s, which provides important news, insights, and resources to our industry on a national level. I am delighted to be in the company of my fellow honorees—a dynamic group of powerful, diverse, and inspiring women!”
Ms. Mabli began her career at United Hebrew in the late 1970’s, became Chief Executive Officer in 1994, and in 2007 assumed the position of President and CEO. Since then, she has led the organization through a rapid period of growth, building assisted-living, memory care, and affordable living facilities, and adding rehabilitation, long-term, and home care services. She also rebranded the organization as a vibrant “campus of comprehensive care” to support seniors through all the stages of aging, from those who live independently to those with advanced healthcare needs—and everyone in between.
The Women of Distinction Award is a joint program of McKnight’s Long-Term Care News and McKnight’s Senior Living, the leading business news magazine serving professionals in long-term care, senior housing/independent living, assisted living, memory care, and continuing care retirement communities. The program recognizes women leaders in senior care who have made significant contributions to the profession and who “inspire others and have powerful effects on the lives of the individuals they serve.” Mabli will be inducted into the “Hall of Honor” alongside 22 other women from across the country on May 7 in Chicago.
The Women of Achievement Award, given by Iona College, honors a select group of women alumna who have achieved industry success and made significant contributions to the college and greater community. Mabli will be honored at the Iona College Trustees Scholarship
Awards Gala on April 3 in New York City.
