RE: Lynn Buckley, LPN elected as President for MADSA
DATE: November 21, 2006

The Redwood Area Hospital would like to announce that Lynn Buckley, LPN, Caring Connection Coordinator, is the newly elected president of MADSA, the Minnesota Adult Day Services Association, for the 2007-2008 terms. Lynn has served as a board member for MADSA since 2000 and currently is the co-chairman for the 2007 MADSA conference committee.

Lynn serves as a vital resource in her community for promoting services for seniors. Lynn has worked with seniors for 20 years in both long term care and hospital settings. She serves on the Redwood County Faith in Action Board, partnering with other committee members to coordinate care for seniors in the area. Lynn works diligently with her Area Agency on Aging to continue to find ways to promote services that will support seniors to continue to live as independently as they desire.

MADSA can look forward to Lynn’s ability to lead with confidence and a strong knowledge of reimbursement and payer issues. Her experience in partnering with other organizations to strengthen her program will bring opportunities for MADSA as an organization.

Lynn believes strongly in Adult Day Service Programs and the assistance they provide to adults to maintain an independent life style, prevent premature institutionalization, and give assistance to caregivers and families. In Lynn’s words, “we need to keep telling our story; together we can all be heard.”
