Valley Memorial Homes Medical Director

Medical Director

Every resident of Valley Memorial Homes (VMH) must have a personal physician. Most residents will continue to be seen by the physician they had before they entered the home. When that is not possible, we ask the residents and their families to choose a physician who will be able to see them on a regular basis. We all feel that residents and their families should be involved in medical decision-making at all times. We encourage residents to establish advance directives to assist us in this process.

There is one Medical Director and two Assistant Medical Directors at VMH. A short biography of each is given below. Our job is to oversee medical care and help set policy at Valley Memorial Homes. We would be glad to answer any questions you may have about our role at VMH. We assure you that we always strive to provide the best and most appropriate care for the residents of our facilities.
