Psychotherapist Bill Batey (center) takes a photo with co-workers after his retirement breakfast on Nov. 9.<\/p><\/div>\n

Bill Batey has retired after working 28 years as a psychotherapist for UNMC\/Nebraska Medicine.<\/p>\n

Batey started in 1990 and worked for four different chairs during his time. His final day was Nov. 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stayed because it was a nice, stable situation. I always enjoyed the patients, and I\u2019m going to miss them the most,\u201d Batey said.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 9, the Department of Psychiatry celebrated Batey\u2019s long career with a retirement breakfast.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve enjoyed all the people I have gotten to work with through the years. I wish I could have known some people a little better, but a lot of times I came to work and went into my room and saw my patients,\u201d Batey told everyone at his retirement breakfast.<\/p>\n

Department of Psychiatry Clinic Manager Maggie Milner said Batey had been a fixture in the clinic for almost thirty years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were many times within that timespan when he was our only therapy resource. Bill has been an exceptional asset to our clinic,\u201d Milner said.<\/p>\n

During the breakfast, Milner said Batey has been mentioning retirement for the last 3-4 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI convinced him to stay part-time rather than take full retirement a couple of years ago. He did some rumbling about retirement again last year, but I was again able to convince him to stay another year. Thankfully, he agreed. We are all thankful for Bill\u2019s dedication throughout the years and wish him much peace and relaxation in his retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n

In retirement, Batey will volunteer at Grief\u2019s Journey, a place where people can find help, understanding, comfort, and hope after suffering a loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cI may also do some traveling, but nothing major,\u201d Batey said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
