We are thrilled to announce that Stephanie Gfeller has joined the LeadingAge Kansas team as Coordinator of Special Projects. She will oversee a 2-year grant-funded project focusing on antipsychotic drug reduction using the proven TeamSTEPPS method. In addition to overseeing the project, Stephanie can help members look for grants, provide advice on grant writing, and can answer Foundation Scholarship questions. As a former KSU PEAK 2.0 review team member, she can also answer questions about the program and connect members with resources to help them through the steps.
Stephanie grew up spending time with her great-aunts in their shared housing home just like the beloved TV show Golden Girls. The memories she made and the fun she remembers is what she says led to pursuing a career in aging services. As the Coordinator of Special Projects, Stephanie looks forward to improving the quality of life for elders through association activities and coordinating the Team STEPPS grant project. Stephanie’s love for connecting with others shines in her role at LeadingAge Kansas as well as at home with her kids doing fun activities and baking. She also enjoys running and says that although it may be at the pace of a turtle, she loves it! Stephanie can be reached at 785.233.7443, ext. 107. Her email address is stephanie@leadingagekansas.org .
