We were honored to welcome City Council Member Helen Rosenthal on a visit to Parkside on Friday, October 20, in the midst of her busy reelection campaign. A staunch advocate for people with disabilities, Council Member Rosenthal has been instrumental is passing legislation that expands access to city services for New Yorkers with disabilities.

We enjoyed sharing with her Parkside’s mission and goals for the future as we gear up to celebrate our 30th Anniversary, and look forward to furthering our relationship with her, as our Upper West Side representative on the City Council.
