My name is Lisa Clark, I am the administrator at St. Francis Woods and have been here for six years. I have worked in the healthcare field with seniors for more than 30 years starting as an activity assistant. I fell in love with the elderly during my stint as activity assistant in 1993 and continued my career in healthcare as a certified nursing assistant, human resources, social services and much more!

My goal here at St. Francis Woods is to continue to make this a loving and caring home for everyone that lives here. The resident’s safety and happiness is always my priority! With that goal in mind, I try to also make this the best place for employment because a happy staff makes for happy residents!
