Dr. Emily Ptaszek joins Baker Senior Center Naples as President and CEO!

Dr. Emily Ptaszek brings more than a decade of executive leadership experience in nonprofit healthcare organizations, with a focus on expanding access to care and improving the health and well-being of underserved communities. Most recently, she led a large community health organization serving more than 84,000 patients a year across 23 locations. Having previously served as President and CEO of Healthcare Network of Southwest Florida, she now returns to Collier County to lead Baker Senior Center Naples.

A licensed psychologist and experienced nonprofit leader, Dr. Ptaszek has dedicated her career to mission-driven organizations that improve lives through direct service, collaboration, and community impact. Her passion for supporting older adults, caregivers, and vulnerable populations began early in her career as a psychologist and has remained a defining thread throughout her leadership journey.

We are excited to welcome Dr. Ptaszek as we build upon Baker Senior Center Naples' enduring tradition of excellence, honor the remarkable vision and legacy of our Founder, Dr. Jaclynn Faffer, and set our sights on an exciting new chapter of growth and innovation.

🧶 Volunteers Needed to make Plarn Mats! 🧶

Looking for a meaningful way to give back to our community? Baker Senior Center Naples is seeking volunteers to help crochet Plarn Mats—durable, weatherproof, and eco-friendly mats made from recycled plastic strips ("plarn"). These mats will be provided to individuals in our community who are currently experiencing homelessness.

If you are interested in joining this meaningful project, please contact Debbie Lageman at: 239-325-4444. Thank you!

✨ Member Spotlight: Cynthy Payne ✨

At 90 years young, Cynthy Payne is a shining example of what it means to thrive, not just survive, as we age. Physical activity has been part of Cynthy’s life since she was a teenager, when she first began ballet. That lifelong commitment to movement and wellness continues today as a very active member of Baker Senior Center Naples.

Cynthy participates in our high-intensity exercise classes, enjoys card games with fellow members, and has built meaningful social connections through our community after the loss of her husband three years ago. Her active lifestyle doesn’t stop there, Cynthy also plays tennis and walks 4 miles four times a week! Her strength, resilience, and positive spirit inspire everyone around her!
