Emmet M. Kenney, Jr. MD
Co-Chairman, Board of Governors, CEO
Dr. Kenney believes psychiatrically ill and addicted persons and their families deserve a champion for the services they need. He has been an advocate for advancing these services for more than 20 years. Dr. Kenney co-founded Prairie St. John's and is working to expand similar high-quality services to more communities. He is very interested in healing processes involving a bio-psycho-social-spiritual model of care. Focusing on patients who are dealing with psychiatric conditions or addictions is his passion.
