As the Therapy Practice Regional Director for SeaCoast, Kendra brings 18 years of experience in the health care industry working in a multitude of settings including Long Term Acute Care, Home Health, Inpatient Rehab, Outpatient rehab, and the school systems. HealthSouth is where Kendra built her foundation as a licensed Occupational Therapist. In this role, Kendra treated patients of all ages with multiple diagnosis’, and in doing so realized that working with patients with neurological diseases was a passion of hers.

It wasn’t until Kendra left HealthSouth in 2007 to pursue other career opportunities at Heartland of Columbia Skilled Nursing Center that she realized that caring for seniors was her true calling and passion. Her love for our geriatric population became evident and the desire to help them regain and maintain their independence would become her life’s work.

In 2010, Kendra moved into management as an assistant Director of Rehab at Life Care Center of Columbia. This afforded her the ability to continue to treat her patients and to also have a hand in creating and implementing systems to guarantee better patient outcomes as well. After three years as an assistant Director of Rehab, Kendra became the Director of Rehab with Life Care Center of Hilton Head eventually relocating to Life Care Center of Sarasota in 2016. Kendra has expertise in developing and implementing various therapy programs, managing staff while decreasing turn over, streamlining labor management, increasing Medicare revenue and helping to turn around challenged facilities; changing the culture of not only the therapy department but the overall facility. Kendra has lead teams through stringent federal IRO audits and as a result, minimized CMS takebacks to less than 1% and enhanced services policies, procedures, and systems.

As the Therapy Practice Regional Director with SeaCoast Health Systems, Kendra continues to ensure that the proper policies, procedures and systems are in place across our health services platform to ensure quality patient care for great outcomes.
