JOSHUA WIENER

We were lucky to have the (late) great Dr. Wiener join us for our 2010 Baby Boomer Health Education Event in San Antonio. Sea changing legislation had recently been signed into law and he came from DC to expertly enlighten us. Thank you and RIP good sir. Newly-digitized here is one of his many fine LTC legacies: https://youtu.be/3bKErOd7l2Y

I think of Josh so often. He made a profound difference in my life, and clearly the lives of others. He left the world far too soon, but a far better place than he found it. Rest in peace, Josh.

I was saddened to learn about our loss of Josh and wish your family consolation in your grief. Josh was a strong and stalwart scholar and advocate for long term care and I learned much from his generous and wise counsel over the years.

Dear Susan and family, I was shocked and saddened to learn of Josh's passing. I first met Josh when we were working for New York City early in our careers. He went on to be a true leader in the field. Our paths would cross every few years; he was always doing something interesting and valuable. And he always had that enthusiasm and intellectual insights. He will be greatly missed.
My sympathies to you and the family.

Josh was a wonderful friend, colleague, and person. We will all miss him. I was so shocked to hear that he passed. My wishes are with you and your family.

Susan, Josh and I worked so well together and we had built a lot of trust over many years. I learned so much from him. I am fortunate to have worked with Josh as my partner in leading the Resource Center and he was also an incredible mentor. When spending time with Josh, I always felt like I had his full attention and he was generous with his time and talents. I will miss him dearly. Liz

Susan -- we have lost a wonderful friend and colleague whose efforts to make long term services and supports affordable and available to those in need are legendary. it was always such a pleasure to work with Josh and to see all of his successes and his tireless energy to push forward for reform. I am so sorry for your and your families' loss and for our loss.

I was very sad and shocked to learn of Josh's passing. I worked with Josh on the ADSSP project while working with the Alzheimer's Association National Office in Chicago. I was struck by his breadth of knowledge on SO MANY aging topics and his willingness to share what he knew in a very humble and unassuming way. Although I didn't know him well, I DO know he leaves behind an incredible legacy and that his good work will carry on by his many professional partners, collaborators and friends....
