Sidney Katz MD
1924 - 2012

The Benjamin Rose family is deeply saddened by the loss of a great colleague, friend and mentor, Sidney Katz, MD.

Until last year, Dr. Katz served as BRIA’s Distinguished Scholar, a position he held for more than 20 years. His connections to the organization go back much further. In the 1950s, Dr. Katz led a team of researchers at the Benjamin Rose Hospital in the development of the Index of Activities of Daily Living, which remains one of the most commonly used tools for determining function in older adults around the world.

BRIA will be making plans to hold a service in Dr. Katz’s memory in the near future.

"Thank you again for your help.
It made a world of difference for us."

More than 100 years ago, Benjamin Rose committed a large portion of his estate to “care for the aged in their homes.” His generosity and forethought have improved the lives of countless people.

But he didn't do it alone. Through the years, we have been able to expand and honor his original mission, thanks to many generous and visionary donors.
