Kenneth Fine, M.D.

Medical Director, The Jewish Home for the Elderly

Dr. Kenneth Fine joined The Jewish Home as The Institute on Aging (IOA) Medical Director in August of 2007.  His more than 25 years in medicine included numerous leadership positions in both internal medicine and emergency medicine at prestigious academic medical centers.  He has held faculty appointments at Yale, Columbia, Cornell, and Mt Sinai Medical Schools and a fellowship at the New York Academy of Medicine.

His experience practicing as a general internist at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center helped him understand the true need for a comprehensive and multifaceted approach to caring for the elderly.  At the Home, Dr. Fine offers Geriatric Assessments, which is a comprehensive medical and social evaluation of an older client to see that their needs are met, to our local community through the IOA on an outpatient basis as well as serves as a primary care physician for both long-term care Residents and community patients.  The IOA also can coordinate various health care services for clients through its care management program.
