| Dedicated to Laura Hansen and B. J. Spitler |
|
The late B.J. Spitler, founder of Age Concerns, pioneered a new geriatric care
management business model that combined care management with home health care
services and emphasized high levels of training and professionalism for all
members of the care-giving team. She was a remarkable woman, who many community
leaders, locally and nationally, feel privileged to have known. B.J.’s work and
her spirit are a continuing inspiration for social workers in today’s
professional elder care environment.

Laura Spitler Hansen, B.J.’s daughter and business partner for 13 years worked
with her mother on the evolution of Age Concerns, birthing it from a small
private geriatric care management firm into a multimillion-dollar corporation.
When Laura became Age Concerns’ CEO she developed a spiritually-based corporate
leadership model to deal with the challenges of managing an elder home care
business, which became a national model. Laura is now engaged in reawakening
her innate, multiple artistic talents, as well as continuing her spiritual
practices and pilgrimages, as she passionately follows her life’s path of
creativity and service.
