Patty Clark is the Executive Director at WellQuest River Valley. She began her nursing career 44 years ago and discovered early on that her joy came from helping the geriatric and developmentally disabled population in our community. She has a Bachelor's degree in Nursing Science and a Master's degree in Business with a focus in Medical Administration. She lives in Lavaca, Arkansas, has a wonderful son and a beautiful daughter-in-law and is awaiting the birth of her first grandchild in September of 2026. She is very excited about this Center and the PACE Model they will adhere to for our community members that are 55 years of age or older. This is an all-inclusive care model that is new to our area and is much needed for our Medicaid and Medicare recipients.
