“Elm Wood Center is already doing so much right,” Stadler said. “Elm Wood Center utilizes Genesis HealthCare’s physician model of care, which encourages on-site collaboration between the doctors and the on-site care team, along with family physicians and surgeons. This method allows for a much more hands on approach to care that leads to better patient outcomes and satisfaction.”

“We are very excited to welcome these highly desirable medical professionals to our team,” said administrator Kelly Pelletier. “We could not think of a better group of professionals to lead our medical team here at Elm Wood Center.”
