Switch-a-roo!

Well, Magye and I are getting settled in our new space after the big move Friday, Sept. 16. For those who missed it (we moved rather quickly!), here’s the scoop on who is where and why they are there.

Due to constant and rapid changes in the industry in which we serve, leaders at Meadowlark are always looking for opportunities to leverage ourselves to better care for more people in the Manhattan area and surrounding community. One of the areas of growth we’ve identified is within our Home Health agency.

For over year, my leadership and management duties have focused on several areas, including: Marketing, Resident Services and Hospitality, Sales, Fitness Services, the Parkinson’s Program, the Memory Program, Meadowlark Medical Professionals (the physician’s office) and Meadowlark Home Health. In order for me to focus more on the business development of our community outreach services, it was decided to shift two areas from my umbrella to Jayme Minton, Support Services Director.

Jayme now leads the Sales team and the Resident Services team, in addition to Information Technology, Food and Beverage Services and Chaplain Services. Jayme previously managed Human Resources and now that service area reports to Chris Nelson, Finance Services Director.

With the organizational shift comes a shift in physical working spaces. Magye Loya and I are now located in the office next to Lonnie Baker, CEO, and catty-corner from the Fitness Center. Jayme Minton and Mary Harness are located in Monte Spiller’s old office across from Chaplain Patty Brown-Barnett. Monte is now working in my old office, next to Kristen Martin and across from Kinzie Jo Nelson.

Feel free to stop by and visit our new areas! The staff will host an Office Party to introduce those interested to our new offices and at that time, an updated organizational chart will be provided. Stay tuned for the scheduled date and time.

Thanks for stopping by – see you next week!
