Pres-i-dent and CEO Kevin McGee’s rela-tion-ship to Smith Senior Liv-ing dates to his col-lege days, when his grand-moth-er moved into Smith Vil-lage, for-mer-ly known as the Wash-ing-ton and Jane Smith Home. ​“Even as an active senior,” he says, ​“she under-stood the cen-tral role that being part of a vibrant com-mu-ni-ty plays for old-er peo-ple. Reflect-ing on my vis-its to her leads me to believe that my grandmother’s pos-i-tive expe-ri-ence point-ed me towards a career in gerontology.” His own ear-ly-in-life expe-ri-ences inform Kevin’s resolve to pre-serve Smith Senior Living’s excep-tion-al rep-u-ta-tion for qual-i-ty care and life-enhanc-ing pro-grams. ​“Dur-ing our recent, ambi-tious growth we have stead-fast-ly remem-bered every-thing we do is about improv-ing lives of indi-vid-u-als in a mean-ing-ful way.” An Illi-nois licensed nurs-ing home admin-is-tra-tor, McGee earned a M.B.A. in health-care admin-is-tra-tion and grad-u-at-ed with hon-ors from Saint Xavier Uni-ver-si-ty and magna cum laude with a master’s degree in geron-tol-ogy from East-ern Illi-nois Uni-ver-si-ty, where he also holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology.
