Louann Robinson, MSN, BSN, RN, CCRN, an experienced Treasure Coast healthcare professional, has joined the Council on Aging Martin County as Director of the Adult Day Club.
“We are delighted to welcome Lou Robinson to our team,” said CEO Karen Ripper. “She brings the leadership qualities, competence and compassion that our clients in the Adult Day Club need and deserve.”
Robinson holds a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialty in Healthcare System Leadership from Norwich University. She was most recently the Director of a Patient Care Unit at HCA Florida Lawnwood in Fort Pierce and formerly was the Director of Critical Care Nursing Services at Kuakini Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. Robinson is a U.S. Air Force Veteran and the recipient of the Daisy Award for Outstanding COVID-19 Nursing Care.
Robinson takes over the Director role from Phyllis Brown, who oversaw recent physical renovations to the Day Club. “Phyllis has helped to build our program to an extraordinary level of client interaction and family involvement,” Ripper said. “She leaves an impressive legacy. We are grateful for all she did for our clients and wish her the best in her retirement.”
The Adult Day Club serves seniors with mild or moderate dementia or mobility issues. Clients spend their days at the Club in meaningful social activities, specialized therapies, memory care, and brain fitness. The program provides respite to caregivers while enhancing the quality of life of its participants.
If there’s the sound of music and laughter at the Council on Aging’s home at the Kane Center on Salerno Road, it’s sure to be coming from the Day Club. “I’m very excited to be working at the ground level, interacting with our clients every day, and having a positive impact on their quality of life,” Robinson said.
