March 29, 2017 -- Project Sunshine, a nonprofit organization, has announced that it will honor Warren Cole, Co-CEO of Post Acute Partners, at Project Sunshine’s Annual Benefit Celebration, Brighter Together, on April 27, 2017 at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. Project Sunshine, which began as the vision of one college student, has grown into a global network of over 15,000 volunteers who bring free educational, recreational, and social programs to over 100,000 children facing medical challenges and their families in hospitals in New York City, across the United States, and internationally.

Warren Cole is Co-CEO of Post Acute Partners, a leading high quality post acute health service provider, with affiliates operating in upstate New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. In 2010, Warren founded Post Acute Partners, along with Dr. Jeffrey Rubin. In 2012, Post Acute Partners acquired a fledgling facility in Pennsylvania caring for medically fragile children. Post Acute Partners revamped the facility and operations and expanded the footprint to include a total of six sites around Pennsylvania, branding it Pediatric Specialty Care. Today, Pediatric Specialty Care is the largest multi-facility company dedicated to servicing this patient/resident population.

“Project Sunshine is pleased to honor Co-CEO of Post Acute Partners, Warren Cole, at our 14th Annual Benefit Celebration, Brighter Together,” says Project Sunshine Executive Director Beatrice Kernan. “The month of April is a time for Project Sunshine to say thank you to all our volunteers, sponsors, and community members who bring sunshine into the lives of children facing medical challenges. This month aims to celebrate and honor the compassionate individuals who are the heart of the organization and make our programs possible. Mr. Cole’s commitment and dedication to high quality post acute health service is truly an inspiration.”
Project Sunshine’s Annual Benefit will take place at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City and is the culmination of Project Sunshine Week, April 20th – April 27th. This week is dedicated to raising awareness and support for the organization.

Warren Cole spent the first phase of his career with Chase Manhattan Bank, where he cycled through the executive training program, the restructuring division (workouts), and the real estate finance division. Cole transitioned to real estate development with the Macklowe organization, where he became president and was responsible for acquisitions, due diligence, and finance. He led the firm through the 5-year real estate crash of the early 90s enabling the company to resume its prominence in the Manhattan real estate market. In the third phase of his career, Warren created an investment vehicle called Care Ventures which acquired 100 healthcare leases from a REIT that was in distress. Warren restructured the leases and either sold them off or took assets back, whereby his group became the de facto operators. This led to the fourth and current phase of his career with Post Acute Partners. Cole graduated from Brandeis University in 1981 with a degree in economics, Phi Beta Kappa. He lives in Manhattan with his wife and two daughters.

Project Sunshine is a nonprofit organization that empowers a dynamic and dedicated corps of over 15,000 volunteers to bring programming – recreational (arts), educational (tutoring and mentoring) and social service (HIV and nutritional counseling) – to over 100,000 children facing medical challenges and their families in 175 major cities across the United States and in four international locations: Canada, China, Israel, and Kenya. The in-hospital enrichment programming allows brave young patients to reach developmental and academic milestones and to find the courage and coping skills necessary to confront challenges ahead.
