Social Media Manager

Social Media Manager New York, New York, United States Sage is on a mission to improve care and quality of life for older adults, starting with those residing in senior living facilities. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults over 65. And yet, fall prevention and emergency response systems for older adults are archaic and ineffective.

We are a software-enabled, mission-driven company, and are focused only on the problems that are central to achieving that mission.
