Michael Early joins Good Samaritan Society


Good Samaritan Society of Newell and Manson would like to announce the arrival of their new administrator, Michael Early.

Early comes to Newell with over 10 years of experience in senior living in both assisted living and skilled nursing facilities in Iowa and Nebraska. He earned his BA in journalism/mass communication at Iowa State University and an AA in healthcare administration at Iowa Lakes Community College in Spencer.

He previously worked in Grand Island and Gretna in Nebraska along with stops in Grundy Center, Ames and Jefferson.

“I am exciting to be returning to Iowa to be closer to family and for the opportunity to manage two outstanding buildings. I look forward to becoming part of both of these communities and providing outstanding care to our residents,” he said. Early was born in Fort Dodge and grew up in Spirit Lake. He and his wife Chantel have one son, Brooks and a daughter, Amaya. They are planning to relocate to the area over the summer.
