Caron Renaissance Executive Team
Caron Renaissance uses a challenging clinical environment, excellent clinical staff, and involved, high-quality supervisory staff to attract the best possible people. Excellence and attention to detail are underlying standards even as constant innovation and development of new services occur. Many of the staff bring aspects of their personal recoveries into the flow of care; all staff operate with an attitude of respect and empathy for the recovery process as it unfolds with patients and families. All staff have the appropriate credentials, training, and experience for their assigned duties, but these credentials and experience are regarded as only the minimum standards for involvement on Caron Renaissance staff. A deeper expectation is that every staff member approaches each assignment with interest, dedication, and high personal integrity.
A Team Approach
- An involved, dedicated staff well-suited for this work by means of training and temperament
- A hands-on, involved and personal supervisory process that leads staff into positive outcomes instead of trying to simply manage or control
- An administrative staff that keep the details and larger issues in proper perspective and order
- An executive function that encourages and inspires while insisting on the highest standards of work ethics and quality patient care.
