Shared on behalf of Dr. Peter Voros, Executive Vice President, In-Patient Care Programs and Ron Turner, Director, Acute Medicine, Stroke and Seniors’ Program

The recent opening of the Medical Transitions Clinic (MTC) within the Acute Medicine, Stroke and Seniors’ Program portfolio is decreasing Emergency Department visits, as well as Hospital admissions, and is supporting discharge and patient transitions from acute care.

Effective April 1, 2021, to further align programs that strengthen these efforts, the Internal Medicine Clinic (IMC) will move from the Cardiovascular Sciences Program to the Acute Medicine, Stroke and Seniors’ Program portfolio. The IMC is currently co-located with the MTC at 1040 Oliver Road, Suite 302. This transition will support outpatient care of individuals with complex and/or chronic health conditions, and will foster collaborative pathways between these two Programs.

To that end, we are pleased to announce that Kelly Keeler has accepted the position of Manager, Medical Transitions Clinic, Internal Medicine Clinic and Telemedicine Program, effective Monday, March 29, 2021.
Kelly started her career at TBRHSC in 2000 as a Registered Dietitian. Her leadership roles have included Clinical Team Lead for the Regional Bariatric Care Program and most recently, Implementation Coordinator for the new MTC. Kelly has a Bachelor of Human Ecology in Foods and Nutritional Science, Business Management Minor, and is currently enrolled at the Michener Institute, in the Leadership in Healthcare Certificate Program.

In her new position, Kelly will oversee clinical operations of the MTC, IMC and Telemedicine Program. She will report to Ron Turner, Director, Acute Medicine, Stroke and Seniors’ Program.

Please join us in welcoming Kelly to the TBRHSC Leadership Team.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Liane MacAskill and Terri Gurney for their interim leadership coverage of the Telemedicine Program and the IMC respectively.
