Dear Colleague,
Please allow me to introduce myself: I am Dr. Marianne Oliveira, Administrator of Peninsula Village. I have recently returned to employment with Peninsula. Some of you may know me, but for those who don't, I will share a bit of my professional background. I have been in healthcare my entire career. I have undergraduate degrees in nursing and psychology, a Master's Degree in Public Health and a Ph.D. in Public Health Education. My focus during my doctoral studies was in mental health and Social Work. I am not new to Peninsula or the Covenant Health System. I have served Covenant Health as a leader for 18 years, including 13 years at Peninsula Hospital as clinical director and administrator.
I am writing to inform you of some leadership team changes at the Village. I want you to know that Peninsula Village remains committed to providing our patients the very best in clinical care. We understand what it means to be worthy of the trust you put in us when you send a patient to us. As an administrator, I take very seriously the responsibility for having the right people in the right positions to achieve long term success for our patients and their families.
Toward this end, there has been a reorganization of leadership positions at Peninsula Village. These people, along with family therapists and other staff join in the commitment to building an environment of excellent service and a culture of teamwork. I believe there is no substitute for experience, as evidenced by the proven track record of the following individuals.
Reggie Raman, M.D., is the full-time psychiatrist for Peninsula Village. Dr. Raman has served as a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at Peninsula Hospital since January 2000 and as Chief of Staff for the Peninsula system from 2005-2007. In his role as the Village psychiatrist, Dr. Raman is responsible for the psychiatric care and medication management of all Peninsula Village patients. Dr. Raman has a key role in the Interdisciplinary Treatment Teams. He also serves as a member of the Village Leadership Team. Dr. Raman completed his residency at University of South Carolina Child and Adolescent Residential Program from 1997-1999, where he also served as Chief Resident. He is Board Certified in Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Dr. Raman has developed strong Child and Adolescent Inpatient programs at Peninsula Hospital over the past eight years, and patients in these programs have experienced excellent outcomes. All who have worked with Dr. Raman have found him to be professional in all aspects of his position, and a tremendous team member.
Bob Pegler, CAS is Program Director and provides oversight for all operational aspects of the program. Mr. Pegler, a founding staff member and member of the Village Leadership Team, has more than 25 years service with Peninsula. He is also responsible for the management of the Peninsula Village Chemical Dependency Recovery Program, Activity Therapy, Admissions and Community Relations. Mr. Pegler facilitates weekly recovery groups and chemical dependency education groups with the outdoor cabin groups as well as the Admission and Assessment Units. He also co-facilitates alumni and family support groups in Atlanta, Georgia, and Raleigh, North Carolina.
Barbara Taylor, Ph.D. has returned to Peninsula Village as Clinical Director following a short leave of absence. Dr. Taylor provides clinical leadership for all programs. She previously served the Village as Clinical Director of the Boy's Program, and subsequently as the Coordinator of Psychological Services. In her role as Clinical Director, Dr. Taylor, who has 30 years of clinical experience, provides direct clinical care to patients at the Village and provides clinical oversight of all aspects of treatment planning and service delivery. She serves on the Village Leadership Team oversees all psychological testing, individual therapy services and supervise doctoral students who are placed at the Village each year by the University of Tennessee's School of Psychology.
Jean Bolding, L.C.S.W. joins the Village clinical team as Director of Family Therapy.
Ms. Bolding, who holds a Master's Degree in Social Work, has returned to Peninsula Village after four years at another behavioral health organization. Ms. Bolding has more than two decades of experience as a family therapist, having served Peninsula Village as a family therapist from 1990-1995, and as Director of Family Therapy from 1995-2004. Ms. Bolding supervises the Village Family Therapy Department, currently comprised of seven masters-prepared therapists. She brings a wealth of experience into treatment planning and family education. Ms. Bolding is also an approved field instructor for social work students through the U.T. College of Social Work. She serves on the Village Leadership Team.
Todd Roberts, who has worked at Peninsula Village for 17 years, continues in his role as Director of Continuum Services. In this capacity, Mr. Roberts oversees the day-to-day operations of the nursing department, utilization review and medical records, and Peninsula Village School. He is also the Peninsula Village Health and Safety Officer. Todd is a member of the Peninsula Behavioral Education Steering Team, the Peninsula Revenue Cycle Team, and the Village Leadership Team.
I have every confidence this team of experienced, highly qualified and dedicated individuals will ultimately serve the best interests of our patients. Please know that I am available for you if you wish to discuss how we can be of better service to you, or anything else about Peninsula Village. Feel free to reach me by email at [email protected], or directly at my Village office, (865) 970-1246.
Sincerely,
Marianne Oliveira, Ph.D., M.P.H., R.N.
Vice President
Peninsula Outpatient and Residential Services
Barbara Taylor is listed in the Village Vision as having
quit, not taking a leave of absence. I can only guess the issues she had with PV are3 gone now...the issues being McLain, Petty, and Ameel.
Jean Bolding? Oh, man, she's got a history at PV...she refused to deliver the letter to Andrew Klepper from a MD judge ordering him back...she's the therapist who testified at Matthew Grant's murder trial about his time at PV, and effectively sealed his fate with her questionable testimony,
and she was called by the defense team.
