We are pleased to launch the Terry Z. Fishler Memorial Fund to honor NADSA Executive Committee Board Member Terry Z. Fishler, who passed away suddenly on January 26, 2022.
Terry was passionately committed to spreading the power and impact of adult day and spent years promoting first-rate care for seniors, the IDD community and veterans. Click here (PDF) to read more about Terry, the diversity of her interests in life and her contributions to adult day.
With this memorial fund, NADSA will create a national public service announcement for centers, state associations, and all ADS advocates that they can use with the media, policymakers, providers, and family members to promote the long-term importance of adult day for those we serve and their families.
Join us in honoring the legacy, energy and passion of Terry with your donation to this fund. You may donate by clicking here: Terry Z. Fishler Memorial Fund.
