Mike Roberts Joins VOYCE Board

Mike Roberts, former meteorologist with KDSK-TV in St. Louis and now director of Client Services at Home Care Assistance of St. Louis, has joined the board of directors at VOYCE. VOYCE is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to ensuring a high quality of life for the estimated 22,000 people living in long-term care in its service area in Eastern and North Central Missouri.

After a 37-career as a meteorologist, Roberts left KDSK in 2016 to pursue another of his passions: helping seniors remain comfortable and independent in their own homes. His appointment to the VOYCE board extends his relationship with the organization, for which he has served as master of ceremonies at VOYCE’s annual Caregiver Awards Luncheon.

“We are delighted to have a professional like Mike assist us in meeting the needs of seniors in our community who often have no one else to advocate for their interests,” said Mary Lynn Faunda Donovan, executive director at VOYCE. “Mike is a model of compassion and commitment to our mission, and we look forward to his guidance and leadership.”

In addition to his new role at Home Care Assistance of St. Louis, Roberts has also been a volunteer with Mercy Hospice for five years. He is also involved with Minds Eye, a radio information service for the blind and print handicapped. He personally helped care for his late wife, Anne, at home, during her end-of-life convalescence.

Roberts attended Creighton University in Omaha and achieved a bachelor of Atmospheric Science degree. He also has a degree in Broadcast Journalism from Central Michigan University.

VOYCE strives toward a high quality of life for those living on the long-term care continuum by empowering and educating individuals and families. VOYCE provides advocacy services to individuals who reside in more than 350 skilled nursing, assisted living and residential care communities in Greater St. Louis and northeast Missouri. More than 50% of these individuals have no one to advocate on their behalf.
