The Sirovich Center for Balanced Living of Educational Alliance is the second-oldest center of its kind in New York City.

Since its conception more than 75 years ago, Sirovich Center has implemented various arts, education, nutrition, and health programming with the aim of furthering Dr. Sirovich’s mission to improve the lives of older adults living and working in New York City.
