Laurie Duemler, RN, BSN, CCM, CAPS – Skyview CCM

Past Experience includes: Family Advisory Board for Helen Devos Children’s Hospital (HDVCH) and the board of design for the new HDVCH, a 10-story freestanding hospital. I also volunteer at Camp Sunshine, a camp for adults with special needs. At camp I work as a nurse for two sessions at the Camp Blodgett location. Experience in rehabilitation case management, chronic disease management, utilization review, and primary care. I am energetic and passionate about what I do.

Stephani Morgan, LMSW, CCM – Therapy Center Behavioral Health & Rehabilitation Services

Over the last 8 years I have been working as both a Case Manager and a Clinical Social Worker, until transitioning into the role of Owner and Clinical Director of The Therapy Center for Behavioral Health and Rehabilitation Services. (TCBRHS) in 2020. Other experience includes post graduate training in trauma informed therapy, child play therapy, rehabilitation psychotherapy, and have extensive experience in applying behavioral strategies to facilitate rehabilitation progress and success. Additionally, I have worked at Spectrum Health as an outpatient social worker as part of a multidisciplinary team who provided services to low-income and economically challenged families that had difficulty accessing a full range of services.

Only 8% of Certified case managers are social workers, this component allows me to have a unique perspective, and it lends itself to be exceptionally effective at facilitating care coordination for those clients that have more behavioral, psycho-social, and psychological barriers that impede rehabilitation progress. My experience and knowledge regarding clients with mental/behavioral health presentations, diagnoses could provide a more expansive knowledge base to ensure service provision.

Sarah Willson, MS, PT, CCM – MI Rehab Solutions

I’ve had the honor of serving on several boards as well as volunteering to support organizations/causes important to me personally and professionally. These have included and/or still include: • Brody’s Be Café Board Member (Ada, MI) – a non profit organization, whose mission is to provide meaningful employment to people with all levels of ability. • MBIPC – Corporate Member • BIA – Corporate Member • Grand Rapids Adjuster Association - Participant • APTA - Member • West Michigan Miracle League – Volunteer and Sponsor • ABVM School Board of Education Member • ABVM School and Church – Volunteer

As a PT for over 22 years and a CCM for several years, I’ve had the privilege to work in a multitude of rehabilitation settings throughout the United States. This has offered me the clinical aspect of being a provider, as well as the case management perspective of comprehensive client care from the administrative and internal case management role that I currently provide. Over the past 16+ years I have worked in home and community-based rehabilitation throughout West Michigan, developing relationship with other providers (case managers, physicians, therapy providers, attorneys, insurers and DME vendors) to best serve clients, which I would like to use to serve the CMSA board and community.
