LAKE COUNTY – The Board of Directors of Community Care Management Corp. has appointed Dennis Fay as the agency’s new executive director.

Fay is a Certified Healthcare Executive (CHE) and brings his 20 years of public health administration experience in the US Air Force to the position.

He has extensive experience in the policy making arena having served at the Air Force Surgeon General’s office, the Pentagon, Washington DC. He served on many federal boards and agencies providing consultation in deployment health, veteran’s affairs, public health, food safety and emergency planning. In these capacities, Fay developed or contributed to numerous federal and state planning commissions.

“It is my pleasure to continue to be of 'service' to the people of Mendocino and Lake counties,” Fay said. “I welcome the privilege to help the frail, the less fortunate and those in need to live a healthy and prosperous life in their homes.

I’m also in the lucky position to be able to draw from the expertise of Cynthia McMath, who served as executive director for the last three years and who remains with the agency in the Supported Living Program she helped to create,” Fay added.

Community Care, a private, nonprofit care management and independent living agency, has served Lake and Mendocino County frail seniors and younger adults with disabilities to remain in their homes and the community for 24 years.

The agency’s multiple programs operate from offices in Ukiah, Ft. Bragg, and Clearlake. They include the Multipurpose Senior Services Program, The Linkages Program, Community Care HIV/AIDS Program and Drop-In Center, Respite Program to assist family caregivers, Independence Plus Programs (Supported Living Program, Community Integration Program, Horizons, Inclusive Senior Services), and Senior Information and Assistance Program.
