March PACE Central Michigan Employee of the Month is Kara!

Kara is an AMAZING occupational therapist and co-worker. She cares deeply about our participants and has a way of working with participants that increases their confidence in their abilities to achieve their functional goals. She brings laughter to the department and keeps us organized; her checklists are always "on-point" - for that our team is so thankful! Kara has been with the organization for 2.5 years and continues to bring new ideas and thoughts to help grow the therapy department and what we offer to our participants. She has been a great mentor to our newer team members and is a welcoming face to all "newbies."

She has good communication skills and represents PACE as a therapy coordinator for multiple PACE facilities; her follow-through on tasks and keeping all departments in loop is admirable. She also is a go-to for the PAM internal appeals committee, increasing her knowledge in SDRs, Medicare and Medicaid regulations, and how other PACE organizations go about "tricky" situations. She has also made good connections with other PACE therapy departments along the way. I'm happy to have her as an OT partner in crime. I'm PROUD that PACE has such a dedicated and excellent therapist and team member that goes above and beyond to help PACE shine. Congratulations Kara! ... See MoreSee Less
