Greystone Healthcare Management, an industry-leading healthcare management company, has named Patrizia Pesce as Director of Nursing Services at the Kendall Lakes Health and Rehabilitation Center, scheduled to open this fall. The Kendall location is Greystone’s fourth health and rehabilitation center in South Florida and features an array of medical services as well as specialized orthopedic, cardiac and stroke rehabilitation programs.

Pesce brings significant nursing leadership experience to the position. Most recently, she served as the Director of Nursing Services for Greystone’s skilled nursing facility in Wilton Manors, having also been a Unit Manager and Clinical Educator there. While there, she spearheaded efforts that resulted in Wilton Manors’ accreditation by The Joint Commission. Prior to working at Wilton Manors, Pesce was the Director of Nursing for Greystone’s North Beach Health and Rehabilitation where she helped the center gain a five-star quality rating from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

As Director of Nursing Services, she will oversee the nursing staff, and work with the nearly 150 patients and their families to provide compassionate care and nursing services.

“Patrizia has proven to be a dedicated director of nursing services and has developed an outstanding reputation for her positive attitude and excellent care,” said Kimberly Pero, regional vice president of the South Florida Region. “We know she will bring that same sense of commitment and excellence as she helps us launch our new center in Kendall.”

“I look forward to working with the many professionals who are making the Kendall Lakes Health and Rehabilitation Center a reality,” Pesce said. “To achieve a goal and be successful, you need a team behind you pushing toward the same goal. I know I can count on Greystone to be that team.”

Pesce is a member of FADONA, the premier organization for the advancement of nursing executives and leaders to position them as key members of the health care leadership team.
