New York (PRWEB / PRWEB) November 20, 2008 -- The law firm of Schwartzapfel Truhowsky Marcus P.C. has sponsored a law student in a fellowship to assist New York's Long Term Care Community Coalition (LTCCC). Each semester the Long Term Care Community Coalition recruits law students as interns to help with the research and advocacy work that they do involving long term care in New York. The LTCCC recommended John Holt, a law student at Brooklyn Law School, as a candidate for sponsorship. Attorney Deborah Truhowsky of Schwartzapfel Partners reviewed the recommendation and approved sponsoring Mr. Holt for the fellowship.

"We feel that the LTCCC provides vital services to the community ensuring that long-term care for the elderly and disabled is humane and compassionate", stated Deborah Truhowsky. "We are happy to be able to support the Coalition by sponsoring this fellowship for Mr. Holt."

The Long Term Care Community Coalition is devoted to improving care for the elderly and disabled. They work to ensure that long term care consumers, who are often very vulnerable, are cared for safely and treated with dignity. The Coalition provides a voice for those who may be too frail to speak for themselves through a number of important services. These include researching policies, regulations, and laws that affect the elderly and disabled, advocating best practices within the long-term care industry, and educating the public regarding important long term care issues. The Long Term Care Community Coalition's website is http://www.ltccc.org/.
