Dr. Stephanie Paulmeno, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), and a founder of At Home in Greenwich, was the guest of honor at the Annual Benefit for At Home on Friday, September 29 at the Delamar Greenwich Harbor.
The Board of Directors for At Home in Greenwich celebrated Dr. Paulmeno as a wonderful asset to our community. She was honored for her significant and lasting impact on the lives of seniors and their families. First Selectman Fred Camillo and Selectperson Janet Stone McGuigan presented Dr. Paulmeno with a proclamation declaring September 29, 2023 Dr. Stephanie Paulmeno Day in the town of Greenwich. A certificate of recognition from Senator Richard Blumenthal was also presented.
Much of her career has been spent improving the health care of Connecticut and Greenwich residents. Dr. Paulmeno served as Director of the Greenwich Adult Day Care (now River House), Director of Community Health Planning for the Greenwich Department of Health, and as a Commissioner on the Greenwich Commission on Aging.
She served for the full duration of its tenure as a Commissioner on the Connecticut Commission on Health Equity and as President of the Connecticut Nurses Association.
Recognizing the need for an organization that would support older adults as they age in place, Dr. Paulmeno became one of the founding members of At Home in Greenwich, which offers support, services and social connections for seniors who wish to stay in their homes. She has served on the Board of At Home, now in its 15th year, and is currently on its Advisory Council.
