Witges of Resch Siemer receives certification



EFFINGHAM — Jackie Witges, Life Care Coordinator with Resch Siemer Law Office, LLC, has received certification in care management from The National Academy of Certified Care Managers, according to a press release.

Certification requires meeting eligibility criteria for, and successful completion of, the certification examination. Certification demonstrates competency in aging and disability issues, community and long term care services, chronic disease management, health benefit and financing options, legal and ethical concerns, special needs advocacy, and the support of the aging and disabled within the community. In her role at Resch Siemer Law Office, Witges advocates on behalf of firm clients for improvement of quality of life and quality of care.

Nationally, only 53 individuals received this certification in 2009. Of those, only six are from Illinois, and only Witges is from downstate Illinois.

A registered nurse since 1981, Witges received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. She is active in community education on Advance Directives and family caregiver issues. She is a member of The National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers, the Effingham County Mental Health and Aging System Integration Team, Sigma Theta Tau Honor Society for Nursing, and is a member of the Teutopolis Comprehensive Plan Committee.
