FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Dec 06, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Lifeline Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIFE), the leading provider of personal response services in the United States and Canada, today announced that Ronald Feinstein, president and chief executive officer, has been named by Governor Mitt Romney to represent the Commonwealth of Massachusetts at the 2005 White House Conference on Aging. The conference will be held December 11-14 in Washington, D.C.
The White House Conference on Aging occurs once a decade to make policy recommendations to the President and Congress, and to assist the public and private sectors in promoting the dignity, health, independence and economic security of current and future generations of older Americans. Feinstein was named a Massachusetts delegate to the previous White House Conference on Aging, held in 1995.
