Swenson Healthcare PLLC, a clinical practice group dedicated to
the care of patients in the post-acute care setting, announced
today that it is expanding its services to include psychiatric
services to its client facilities and the patients under its care.
The addition of psychiatric care is in response to a growing need
for psychiatric care for patients in the post-acute setting,
building on Swenson Healthcare’s commitment to providing
broad-based primary care medical services to patients under its
care.
Linda Miller, D.O., a Board certified psychiatrist with over 30
years of clinical practice, recently joined the company to initiate
the post-acute psychiatry program. A well-known practitioner in
Washington state, Dr. Miller has established practices in
University Place and Olympia. Her extensive career includes adult
psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry and tele-psychiatry. Dr. Miller
attended medical school at Des Moines University. Her residency
programs include Oregon Health Sciences University and University
Hospitals of Cleveland.
Commenting on her new position, Dr. Miller stated, “Throughout
the Pacific Northwest there is a growing need for behavioral health
services in post-acute facilities. As a practice group focused on
post-acute care, Swenson Healthcare is well-positioned to bundle
this service with delivery of post-acute medicine. I look forward
to working with the Swenson Healthcare medical team to maximize
this opportunity to provide our patients a more effective and
comprehensive care experience.”
CEO Darren Swenson, M.D., added, “We are excited about our entry
into post-acute psychiatry and the added value this will bring to
patients at the facilities where we practice. Dr. Miller joins a
team of medical care providers with a deep commitment to delivering
excellent patient care. Facilities are looking for solutions to the
challenge of providing quality care in behavioral health,
particularly in the rural and small town communities. We are
building a clinical team to respond to this need with both on-site
and tele-psychiatry services.”
