Michael Shomaker, LPN
Director of Nursing
“Thank you so much for all of the kindness you’ve shown to our son and family. We will miss you. You are what makes Telos special. Thank you for everything!” -parent
The nursing team has one goal, to keep track of all the boys, make sure they are healthy, meds on time, sunscreen and safety first! Whew, you might say they “think like moms.” In Michael’s case, he thinks like a mom, dad, medical practitioner, and mental health advocate rolled into one. Prior to Telos Michael spent 15 years as a pediatric psychiatric nurse for the State of Utah. He has also been a professional chef and understands that “food is medicine.” Michael is at his best with those who are struggling with their worst. Unendingly patient, he takes pride in running an organized department that assures safety while contributing to the heartfelt nurturance of the program.
