ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Empowering Aging with Melody Lynch, Founder & CEO of NorthShore Home Care, Gerontologist, End of Life Doula, CPMC. Melody will speak on "Coping With Illness And Building A Positive Care Relationship."
Melody has been working in the health care industry for the last 19 years and has had the opportunity to meet some amazing colleagues and patients who have touched her life forever. While on her journey she began to notice ways we can improve patient care and their overall experiences as well as their families. After working in memory care, mental health, long-term care, assisted living, physician offices, home care, completing an undergrad in health administration, completing rigorous studies with a director of operations at a major health organization, graduate school with a gerontology major along with MBA classes, she had a unique opportunity working with a community to identify a niche market. She began working on an idea that not only incorporated superior care, but also technology. Aging in place has become a major topic as the baby boomers enter this realm and as we continue to address the issue of dwindling Medicare dollars. Her career and education has and continues to be devoted to improving the lives of others.
