AdCare Names Lisa Clark VP of Marketing, Business Development

WORCESTER — Lisa Clark has joined AdCare Hospital as vice president of Marketing and Business Development.

The retiring James McKenna has turned over the reins to a former member of his team after many years of service. Clark, a former AdCare community-service representative, returns to AdCare with experience gained in senior positions in state government relations and business and market development in the treatment and pharmaceutical industries. Most recently, she was clinical director of the Treatment Helpline, a division of Sunspire Health. She served as a senior market development director at Cephalon & Alkermes with the Vivitrol business unit, and in multiple roles at Reckitt Benckiser — clinical liaison, managed care, and state government relations.

Clark has held state and national business development and outreach positions in addictions treatment and in buprenorphine-safety programming (CRC Health Group, Treatment Solutions) and consulted with a variety of clients, including NIATx. As vice president, Clark oversees marketing and development and community services for AdCare Hospital in Worcester, AdCare’s six outpatient offices throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and AdCare’s newly acquired residential treatment center in North Kingston, R.I.
