Dunwoody Village announces new president/CEO
Dunwoody Village announced that its Board of Trustees has unanimously approved the appointment of Maureen P. Casey as its new president and chief executive officer.
She will begin her new role in April following the retirement of Sherry Smyth, who has served as president and CEO for 16 years.
Casey brings with her a strong business background and exceptional leadership skills gained while working and leading across continuing care retirement communities and medical systems.
Most recently, she has been executive director for several campuses of Wesley
Enhanced Living. She has also served as chief operating officer at Chandler Hall Health Services and previously held leadership positions with the Einstein Institute for Heart and Vascular Health at Einstein Medical Center.
“Maureen exhibits commitment and dedication to improving the lives of older adults,” said Edward Chiosso, chairman of Dunwoody’s Board of Trustees. “Not only does she have a strong business background with expertise in strategic planning and operational execution, but she also enjoys interacting and learning from residents and staff.”
Casey earned an master’s degree in gerontology at the University of Pennsylvania and a bachelor’s degree in biology at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science. She has a Pennsylvania Nursing Home Administrator License.
She and her husband have three children, and they live in Bucks County.
Casey and her leadership team will direct nearly 500 staff members who provide services to over 400 residents.
“I’m thrilled to be joining Dunwoody Village,” Casey said. “I look forward to meeting the residents and staff and continuing to build upon Dunwoody’s strong foundation as one of the area’s leading retirement communities.”
Dunwoody Village is a five-star quality rated continuing care retirement community located in a suburban setting on 83 acres in Newtown Square.
