The Society of Certified Senior Advisors (SCSA) educates and certifies professionals who work with seniors. The Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)® credential applies to professionals who are able to demonstrate their competence and knowledge of working with older adults into their professional practices.

These ladies are amazing!

Congratulations to Debbie Hayden, manager of therapy services, and Janice Lundy, social services and geriatric program manager, on their recent award from Saint Louis University (SLU)! 👏 Janice and Debbie were awarded the inaugural SLU Family Center for Healthy Aging Community Partner Award for their work in Perry County with older adults and dementia patients. We are so proud of their work to support our aging population.

The award was presented last month during the second annual Healthy Aging Conference on the SLU Medical Campus.
