Director of Clinical Outreach & Lead Hospital Liaison

Mary Allen is Director of Clinical Outreach and Lead Hospital Liaison at Cantata Adult Life Services.  Mary joined The British Home 16 years ago as a staff nurse.  She was promoted to Case Manager several years later and to her current position in 2010.  In this role, Mary works closely with clients, their families and medical team to determine the best path to recovery from a health setback.  She has built strong relationships with surrounding hospitals and staff including doctors, social workers and case managers to ensure they are familiar with Cantata's life-enhancing services and living options including British Home Rehabilitation Services and Outpatient Rehabilitation at the Therapy Center.

"My goal is to compassionately serve all our clients with respect and dignity," said Mary.  "It's about building relationships - not just with the client, but with their family, healthcare team and hospital as well.  We want to make sure they have the support and resources they need to live their best and most fulfilling life."

Before coming to The British Home, Mary was a registered nurse at Oak Park Hospital and RML Specialty Hospital.  She also worked as a Private Duty Home Nurse for patients on ventilators.  Mary began her career in healthcare at Loyola University Medical Center in their X-Ray Department.  She is a Certified Marketing Professional (CMP) and has participated in many continuing education programs.

Mary received her Associate in Science Degree from Morton College.
