Jewish Home’s Campus Transformation Project Recognized at 2017 PRSA PRism Ceremony

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – June 20, 2017 – Jewish Home was recognized with a PRism and an Award of Excellence for its campus transformation project at the 2017 Rochester Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) PRism Awards ceremony. The PRism Awards recognizes the highest standards in research, planning, execution and evaluation for public relations programs and tactical elements. More than 200 submissions were received for consideration.

Jewish Home, together with its agency partner Roberts Communications, was awarded a PRism in the Not-for-Profit Press Conferences category and an Award of Excellence in the Not-for-Profit Events/Observances category. Both awards recognized the June 2016 Jewish Home groundbreaking ceremony celebrating the beginning of the construction of its Green House Cottages. The Cottages house nine homes for long-term care residents and are part of an $83 million campus transformation initiative.

“The groundbreaking ceremony was a major opportunity to share publicly how we are redefining home and revolutionizing care for our residents,” said Jane Knickerbocker, Vice President of Marketing at Jewish Home. “It’s an honor to be recognized for work that will allow our long-term care residents to have even more enriched and enhanced lives.”

By bringing media, community members, residents and their families together for a groundbreaking ceremony, Jewish Home aimed to foster education, generate awareness and rally support for the changes to come on its campus.

The 2017 PRSA PRism Awards ceremony was held on Thursday, June 15. See the full list of award recipients online.
