Current chair Michael Rozen will serve as senior chair, succeeding Malcolm Lazarus, who will become board secretary.
“Donald, Malcolm and Michael have been stalwart supporters of United Hebrew for many years, and have played instrumental roles in helping us build an outstanding campus of comprehensive care to serve the region’s aging population,” Mabli said.
Duberstein, of Purchase, joined the board in 1976, and called his involvement with United Hebrew “extremely fulfilling” because of its commitment to residents, patients and caregiving. His father, Wolfe Duberstein, was board treasurer in the 1950s and his brother-in-law, George Friedland, served as board president in the 1970s.
Lazarus, a Scarsdale business owner, said he devotes so much time to United Hebrew because it’s a worthwhile, much-needed asset to the community. He joined the board in 1982 and has served five times as president, during which he also served as chair. He became senior chairman in 2007. He is credited with planting the seeds for United Hebrew’s expansion when he formed a strategic planning committee to strengthen the institution in the 1990s.
Rozen, a retired real estate executive and resident of Scarsdale, noted that since he joined the board in 2003 and became board chair in 2007, “The way of providing health care has changed tremendously, and we have moved with the times.” “It’s not easily done," he said. "But we have a wonderful board, extraordinary people, and we try to keep abreast of all that’s important in the world of caregiving.”
