“We’re so honored to be named a finalist to the NYC Imagine Awards for our work of addressing social isolation among older adults and bringing the generations together,” said Mark Meridy, Executive Director of DOROT. “It’s especially meaningful right now, with the U.S. facing ‘an epidemic of loneliness and social isolation,’ that the NYC Imagine sponsors are helping draw attention to this critical issue."
