Chris Palmer assumes new responsibilities for inpatient allied health at GF Strong

In the interest of increasing flexibility in allied scheduling and creating more equitable workloads between the inpatient and outpatient GF Strong managers, we are pleased to announce that Chris Palmer will be operationally responsible for all inpatient allied health effective Monday, March 24, 2014 (with the exception of ALS, Baclofen and EMG, which will remain under Carol Chao’s management).

Centralizing allied health staff will help us to better understand workload and monitor vacation coverage. Carol Chao will continue to manage the inpatient units and will work closely with Chris to ensure this administrative change has no impact on provision of care.

Marlene Matsuba will continue to manage the dietician and vocational rehab staff,and Chris will maintain his responsibilities as the operational manager for the outpatient clinics.
