Village Manor, an affiliate of Memorial Health System, is pleased to announce the appointment of Tim Swenson as its new director of nursing. Swenson brings more than 20 years of diverse health care experience to the Abilene community.
Swenson was introduced to the opportunity through a recruiting firm and quickly felt a strong connection to the role after meeting the teams at Memorial Health System and Village Manor.
“After meeting the team, I immediately knew the role was for me,” Swenson said. “I have worked in health care for more than 20 years in many different facets, and I could see how my experience aligned with the mission and vision here.”
Throughout his career, Swenson has served in clinical, operational and business development roles across the Midwest, including the past eight years in traveling leadership positions. His broad background, paired with a passion for servant leadership, positions him well to guide Village Manor’s nursing team and enhance resident care.
For Swenson, long-term care is deeply personal.
“Long-term care is more than just a medical service; it is a commitment to dignity and family,” he said. “Having seen the impact of life-altering physical and health challenges with my home health and hospice patients throughout the years, ‘care’ involves supporting the whole person and their environment. It represents a bridge between clinical excellence and the comfort of home.”
He added that ensuring residents and families in the Abilene community receive the same high-standard advocacy he would want for his own family is a driving force behind his leadership.
“Tim’s ties to the community, professional experience, commitment to servant leadership and dedication to providing resident-centered care positions him well to lead the Village Manor nursing team and its commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality care,” said Kimberly Haverly, Memorial Health System administrator.
