Kellin Foundation Welcomes Lisa Duck as Director of Strategic Partnerships & Wraparound Services

It is with great pleasure that the Kellin Foundation announces the appointment of Lisa Duck as our new Director of Strategic Partnerships & Wraparound Services.

Lisa brings with her a wealth of experience and a passion for creating positive change in our community. With over a decade of dedicated service in healthcare administration and community advocacy, Lisa has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to improving the lives of those in need.

Previously, as Executive Director of Guilford Community Care Network, Lisa played a pivotal role in ensuring access to essential healthcare services for underserved populations. Her leadership and vision were instrumental in establishing vital programs such as the Orange Card and the Guilford Adult Dental Access Program, which continue to make an impact on the health and well-being of individuals and families in Guilford County.

In 2008, Lisa began her tenure as Project Manager for the Guilford Community Care Network (part of Guilford Adult Health, Inc.), focusing on providing access to care for uninsured residents of Guilford County. In 2011, she was promoted to Executive Director of Guilford Adult Health, overseeing both the Guilford Community Care Network and the Guilford Dental Access Program. For over 16 years Lisa facilitated collaborative efforts among the community's safety net providers to implement indigent care initiatives and secure financial and other resources for the patient population.

Lisa holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a Master of Public Health from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She is a certified health education specialist at the master's level.

An active community volunteer, Lisa serves on the board of the Interactive Resource Center (IRC), is a member of Women to Women at the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, and previously served on the board of Hospice and Palliative Care of Greensboro (now Authora Care) for 10 years, as well as on the Steering Committee for the Guilford NonProfit Consortium. Prior to her work with GCCN, she was the Executive Director of the Guilford Coalition on Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention for four and a half years.

Guilford Adult Health was named the 2016 Nonprofit of the Year for Guilford County. In 2021, Lisa received the inaugural Journey to Healthcare Award from the Kellin Foundation for GCCN's work.

As our new Director of Strategic Partnerships & Wraparound Services, Lisa will leverage her expertise to forge meaningful collaborations and partnerships that will further our mission of supporting children and families in crisis. She will lead efforts to strengthen our network of community partners, develop innovative strategies to address complex social challenges, and ensure that our wraparound services meet the evolving needs of those we serve.

We are confident that Lisa's passion, dedication, and leadership will enhance our organization's impact and empower us to make an even greater difference in the lives of vulnerable children and families.

Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Lisa Duck as she embarks on this new journey with the Kellin Foundation.  She is such a wonderful asset to our team and we look forward to making big waves of change as we grow our mission,  building stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities.
