Senior Life Solutions Program Selected as LEAD Training Site

Clay County Medical Center’s Senior Life Solutions program was selected as one of ten LEAD training sites by Psychiatric Medical Care, an organization that partners with more than 250 hospitals and health systems across the country.

Senior Life Solutions is a hospital-based program designed to support the mental health of older adults, typically those age 65 and older, who are experiencing depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. LEAD sites train new staff with a focus on Leadership, Excellence, Accountability, and Development. To qualify as a LEAD site, a program must demonstrate an ongoing commitment to Psychiatric Medical Care’s core values of care, compliance, and community.

“This team’s performance has been outstanding, especially in terms of the care they provide to patients,” said Rhonda McGraw, Regional Director. “New team members assigned to train at Clay County Medical Center will learn a lot from this stellar program.”

Clay County Medical Center’s Senior Life Solutions team is led by Beth Larson, RN, Program Director. Other team members include Matt Myers, LSCSW, LMAC, Therapist; Angie Stevens, Office Patient Coordinator; and Dr. Paul McGinnis, Medical Director and Board-Certified Psychiatrist.

Anyone can make a referral to the program, including family members, healthcare providers, or individuals seeking mental health support. For more information about Senior Life Solutions, call (785) 632-6472 Ext. 3171.
