Medical Director of the Year Nominees, 2019

The role of the post-acute and long-term care (PALTC) medical director has evolved over the years. However, talk to any member of AMDA — The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine who fills this role and you will hear passion, commitment, and energy. You will hear a love for their patients and their work, and loyalty to their teams. Yet the role of a facility’s medical director is often a better kept secret than Superman’s identity. If you were to ask a resident or family member to name the medical director, you often would get a blank stare.
