Angela Edney

Director of Clinical Services

Angela Edney Angela has been a licensed occupational therapist for 25 years and holds a masters degree in administration with a concentration in health services. She is currently the Regional Director of Clinical Services for a six state region at Aegis Therapies. Her primary responsibility in this position, one she’s held for 12 years, is serving as a clinical resource and directing the clinical programs in speech-language pathology, occupational therapy and physical therapy. Angela has spoken at many conferences, written numerous articles and won two prestigious awards for her work with the Allen Cognitive Model.

Teaching and mentoring others is what Angela loves best about her work at Aegis Therapies. “Developing and teaching programs gives me the opportunity to create new treatment strategies that, in turn, helps enhance the lives of our patients,” explains Angela. “The clinical leader program I helped to develop in my region is designed to recognize and mentor our clinical experts. These clinical leaders are then used to mentor other therapists,” says Angela.

Angela believes the key drivers to providing excellent service to patients and residents are access to exceptional clinical education and working together with other staff like nursing.  “We have developed the ICE program in my area, which stands for Integrated Clinical Enhancement. With this approach, both of our therapy and nursing staffs roll out programs together, a collaboration that has helped facilitate more successful outcomes.

Angela has been at Aegis Therapies for 16 years and values the continued training and development she still receives. “I have learned so much at this company,” says Angela.
