Annemarie Groth-Juncker of Pittsford spent much of her career working with older adults. She was instrumental in securing the rights of nursing home residents to set their own advance directives, and she has been a staunch advocate of home care. Dr. Groth-Juncker has for many years also taught tai chi, a practice that she says has helped keep many seniors strong and independent.
