Lauren has dedicated over 30 years to improving the lives of patients, residents, and caregivers in long-term care. She began her career in acute care case management before joining our organization in 1999. Over the years, she has held several leadership roles, including Licensed Nursing Home Administrator, VP of Sales & Marketing, Regional VP of Operations, Market President, and SVP of Operations. Lauren currently serves on the board of the New Hampshire Health Care Association and the Michael R. Walker Employee Foundation. She is also a member of the AHCA/NCAL Quality Committee.

Lauren holds a BA from Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts, and has completed graduate coursework (MHA) at Suffolk University. Outside of work, Lauren loves traveling, golfing, and spending time by the ocean. She enjoys supporting her son Nate’s sports activities and cherishes her lifelong friendships, many of which began at Regis College. She shares a unique bond with her sister, who is just nine months older. Passionate about community involvement, Lauren actively supports various causes. She is also an avid reader and a dedicated Boston Celtics fan, always cheering for her favorite player, Jaylen Brown. When asked what advice she’d offer aspiring women leaders, Lauren shares: "Mentorship has been crucial in my own journey. I’ve been fortunate to have incredible mentors—people who provide honest, direct, and constructive feedback, and aren’t afraid to challenge me. These individuals have been pivotal to my story." Lauren’s leadership and vision drive our mission forward, making a lasting impact on our organization and the communities we serve. Thank you, Lauren, for leading with strength, vision, and heart! 💪🌟 #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInLeadership
