Jane Gross Biography

Ms. Gross' 29 year career at the New York Times gave her the opportunity to work side-by-side with a generation of journalistic giants and herself cover an array of historic events and social developments. Among them were the early days of the AIDs epidemic, the advent of crack cocaine, the explosion of autism, the last major earthquakes in both San Francisco and Los Angeles, the riots surrounding the Rodney King verdict, coverage of 911 (including a major role in the New York Times' prize winning "Portraits in Grief'') and also its award winning series "Children of the Shadows." These assignments led to a half dozen Pulitzer Prize nominations and other awards.

During her years writing about aging -- in the print edition of the paper, for her blog and her book --- all the nation's leading professionals in the field were Ms. Gross' trusted sources and she is frequently called upon to be the voice of the "real'' caregiver, not the credentialed or academic expert, at prestigious panels and forums sponsored by groups including the AARP Public Policy Institute, the Center for American Progress think tank, the New York State chapter of the Geriatric Care Managers Association and the Visiting Nurse Service of New York.

Early in her career, while covering sports, she was among a handful of women who were the first permitted in male locker rooms and profiled by Roger Angel in the New Yorker magazine, a piece later included in one of his famed anthologies. Her own assignments in those years included the famed Knicks basketball teams of the 1970s, the George Steinbrenner-Billy Martin-Reggie Jackson Yankees, great tennis rivalries including Jimmy Connors vs John McEnroe and Chris Evert vs Martina Navratilova and the emergence of Renee Richards (nee Richard Raskin) as a transsexual tennis player. Her late father, Milton Gross, was a nationally syndicated sports columnist for The New York Post so her childhood was spent at spring training, in press boxes, at major heavyweight boxing matches and in the unique milleu of bigtime sport in NYC in the 1950s and 1960s.

Jane Gross Speaking Topics

  • Medical Schools: Introducing Medical Specialists and Medical Students to the Elderly and Their Care-Givers (For Healthcare Providers)

    Professors of medicine, social work, nursing and public health are introduced to geriatrics through the eyes of a lay person, and also exposure to family care-givers. Information not currently in curriculums, this insight is great training for medical professionals who haven't had experience with family members.

  • Assisted Living; Nursing Homes and Home Health Care

    All the plusses and minuses of each are explored • How to make the best decision and how to match the the need with the solution, both financially and socially. Excellent researched overview of everything involved with decision making.

  • Entitlements: "Medicare and Medicaid, As complicated as A Rubik's Cube."

    No primer prepares you for these two government programs. They are not what they seem and work differently in every state. If moving a parent, you must know scores of legal, financial and regulatory things in both states. "Cottage industries" have spring up to deal with many issues (lawyers who specialize in migrations and reverses migrations between states) is one such example.

  • Workplace: Childcare vs. Eldercare

    The first is not the right model for the second. Human resource departments haven't a clue. Pre-tax dependent care accounts are but ne example of benefits offered employees caring for elderly relatives that work for child care and are overwhelmingly useless for elder care. Examples abound. They could do better and many want to but don't know what they're doing is useless.

  • Financial: Exploring the Aspects of Long Term Care

    Long Term Care Planning and Insurance • not the panacea you think it is. There are many scenarios involving long term care in which people pay for this insurance and never get the benefit of the policy. Both the insurers and the insured have problems.

  • The Biology, Sociology and Psychology of Aging

    Both age groups, pediatrics and geriatrics, need specialized care. Co-morbid diseases, gazillion meds, different symptoms for common ailments like urinary tract infections, delirium vs. dementia, the danger of hospitals and ERs for the aged. Over-treatment -covering the many procedures, tests and medications given that are paid for by Medicare and other insurance. Why?
