Sheila Sorkin, Aging Support Coordinator for Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, recently joined the Honestly Aging podcast by Friends Life Care VigR®. Speaking with host Cheryl Proska, she shared that she grew up in a three-generation household and learned from an early age to hold respect and value for older persons. That early experience continues to connect to her care for others.
Through Quaker Aging Resources, Sheila works beside meetings, committees, and individuals as they think about safety at home, financial care, and well-being. She speaks about a wider network of care within Philadelphia Yearly Meeting that includes aging grants, counseling, and support groups that offer steady help and connection for Friends at different points in their lives.
Friends can listen to the podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and other common platforms. Those interested in learning more about Sheila and her work can visit the Quaker Aging Resources webpage or contact her at ssorkin@pym.org.
