Comcare employment agreement includes hire of child psychiatrist Dr. Deanne Jenkins
Summary
The agenda includes a Comcare employment agreement to bring Dr. Deanne Jenkins on staff as a child psychiatrist; presenters said this hire helps grow child psychiatry capacity in the Wichita metro, which has increased from six to ten child psychiatrists since the chair's first term.
Tom told commissioners the agenda includes a Comcare employment agreement to hire Dr. Deanne Jenkins as a child psychiatrist.
A speaker noted the county has expanded child-psychiatry capacity since the chair first took office, citing an increase from six child psychiatrists to 10 in the Wichita metro area and describing the Comcare hire as addressing a long-vacant position aided by the residency program.
"She's, a child psychiatrist, so we're glad to have her back," a speaker said in describing the hire. The agenda packet was referenced for details and staff said any compensation and employment specifics are in the backup materials to be reviewed at the May 7 meeting.
