Kathy Good
Mercy is announcing a leadership transition at The Chris & Suzy DeWolf Family Innovation Center for Aging & Dementia as longtime leader Kathy Good steps into a new advisory role with the Center.
Good has served as the senior director since helping to establish the Innovation Center and, prior to that, the Family Caregivers Center of Mercy. Throughout her tenure, she has been a visionary force, championing innovative approaches to care for individuals who are aging or living with chronic conditions, including dementia. Her work has touched thousands of lives and positioned Mercy as a leader in aging and dementia care.
Under Good’s leadership, the Innovation Center has thrived as a hub for creativity, collaboration and transformative ideas. Her commitment to enhancing the lives of patients, families, and caregivers has not only advanced Mercy’s mission, but also strengthened the broader community’s approach to aging and dementia services.
“It has been an incredible honor to help shape the Innovation Center and to walk alongside so many individuals, families and caregivers on their journeys,” Good said. “I’m deeply grateful to Mercy and to our community for the trust they’ve placed in me throughout the years. I look forward to continuing to support this important work in a new way.”
In her new role as an advisor, Good will continue to contribute her expertise and strategic insight to the Innovation Center’s ongoing work. A new senior director will be recruited to lead day-to-day operations, and a collaborative transition process will ensure continuity and momentum. Good will work closely with the incoming leader to share knowledge and support a seamless handover.
“We are incredibly grateful for Kathy’s passion, leadership and unwavering dedication to those we serve,” said Dr. Tim Quinn, president & CEO of Mercy. “Her influence will remain a vital part of the Innovation Center, and we’re excited that she’ll continue to support our work in this new capacity.”
Mercy has also established an Innovation Center Steering Committee comprised of key stakeholders and thought leaders to provide strategic guidance and help shape the future direction of the Center.
