medical profile CONNECT Conway Behavioral Health 877.839.6833 ConwayBH.com John C Leach, MD Director of Adolescent Psychiatry at Conway Behavioral Health Where do you work/practice and where is it located? Dr. Leach currently works at Conway Behavioral Health, and soon will also begin work for Little Creek Behavioral in Conway. When did you begin practicing/ working in Faulkner County? Dr. Leach has been practicing in the Central Arkansas area throughout his career but began working in Faulkner County in April of 2018. Why did you decide to pursue a career in medicine? Dr. Leach decided to pursue a combined career in medicine and innovation in the memory of his grandfather Dr. Albert Lindsey Bicknell and his father Shannon McKay Leach. Where did you receive your education and how long have you been working in your field? Dr. Leach earned a BS in Biological Engineering and MS in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville in 2006 and 2008. After completing master’s research in nanoparticle vectored chemotherapeutics, he obtained a Medical Doctorate from UAMS in 2012 and received the Marie Wilson Howells Award for most outstanding performance in the Behavioral Sciences. During his second year of residency he was honored with the Wise Award for his work to better Resident Mental Health and he served as the Chief Fellow in his final year of Child and Adolescent Fellowship. Have you had any notable training or any board certifications?Dr. Leach completed an adult psychiatry residency and child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at UAMS, is a dually licensed medical doctor in the states of Arkansas and Florida, and is Double Board Certified by the ABPN for General Adult and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Why did you choose Faulkner County? Dr. Leach chose Faulkner County because of the unique opportunity with Acadia Healthcare to create state-of-the-art child and adolescent acute and residential programs to better serve the children of Arkansas as well as those from the rest of our country. What do you love most about your career? What I treasure the most about my job is the opportunity to make meaningful, positive change in the lives of my patients. Every day I am blessed with the opportunity to return a smile to a face, a child to a parent, and a parent for their child. The most wonderful words I’ve ever heard came from a mother with a tearful smile as she told me, “I have my son back.” How are you involved in the community? Given the underserved nature of mental health and the needs of our community, I spend the majority of my non-family-time working directly with patients or working with administration to expand the care-systems for our community. Do you have any hobbies or favorite activities? My favorite non-work activities center around my family, my wife, and our three children. Of those, my weekly hike up Pinnacle Mountain with my eldest daughter Ashlynne is something I particularly cherish. If you ever see someone trudging up and down Pinnacle Mountain with a giggling seven-year-old piggy-backing on his shoulders, chances are its Dr. Leach and his daughter Ashlynne. 32 faulkner lifestyle | winter 2020
medical profile Leslie Lamb Heritage Living Center I became the Administrator at Heritage Living Center 3 years ago, after a 30 year career in Physical Therapy (23 years at Heritage Living Center). In November of 2019, Heritage Living Center was named the recipient of this year’s HIMSS Davies Award of Excellence. Heritage Living Center was proud to be recognized as the first long-term post-acute care Davies Award of Excellence recipient in the history of this award. The award recognizes the application of health information and technology to substantially improve clinical care delivery, patient outcomes, and population health. The Davies Award program promotes better health through IT usage by recognizing and sharing cases, model practices and lessons learned on how to effectively leverage information and technology to improve patient outcomes. Lauren Talbot, Reliance Healthcare EHR Solutions Consultant, and myself presented Heritage Living Center’s positive patient outcomes to the National HIMMS award panel in August. We were humbled to accept this award and acknowledge the deep dedication of our staff to the well-being of our residents as the primary driver of our success. Heritage Living Center will be recognized during the 2020 HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition, which takes place March 9–13 in Orlando, Florida.
