The fundraiser’s honoree was Evan Portnoy, president of Rampart Benefi t Planning, which provides benefi t pro- grams for Parker’s employees. His divi- sion is a part of Rampart Insurance Ser- vices, which specializes in property and casualty coverage, employee benefi ts, life insurance, disability, and long-term- care coverage. After a day on the links, Michael N. Rosenblut, Parker president and CEO, welcomed the dinner guests. He thanked Evan Portnoy for the outstand- ing programs he provides for Parker staff . He also thanked Stanley Morris, chairman of Rampart, a longtime Park- er vendor and donor, and chairman of the 2018 Golf Classic. “Rampart has joined with many other corporate part- ners whose kindness helps enrich our programs and enhance our facilities,” he said. Rosenblut recognized Parker’s board chairman, Peter Seideman, and the other board members for helping make the event a huge success. Rosenblut addressed the 200 guests at the event’s dinner. “The needs of our senior population—the nation’s larg- est—makes your support more critical than ever. They might be at Parker’s facility for subacute care, short-term rehabilitation, social adult day care, home healthcare, hospice, or our on-site dialysis clinic, Queens-Long Island Re- nal Institute. Perhaps they’re served by our medical transport division, Lakev- ille Ambulette, or AgeWell New York, our managed long-term-care plan.
