Laura Partridge, the Business Development Manager for Extended Family Care, has been with the company since 2002. Prior to her current role, she had served as the Home Health Administrator of the Pittsburgh branch, as well as holding positions within health systems in New York and Pennsylvania as a Nursing Home Administrator and Regional Director of Operations of Independent and Assisted Living facilities.

In addition to over three decades of experience in long term care, Laura has earned her MBA in Health Care Administration from Canisius College, a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the State University of New York at Buffalo and was certified as a CPR/First Aid Instructor by the American Red Cross. Laura is an advocate for the elderly, disabled and pediatric populations and works to be a positive change advocate for the home care workforce.  She has sat on several Professional Advisory Committees throughout the community, has served on the Board of Directors for a non-profit nursing home, and acts as an Advisory Board Member for multiple Alliances, Collaborations and Associations. She also volunteers on numerous committees, subcommittees and task forces for several non-profit organizations.

Through everything she has achieved in her career, her most valued lifetime accomplishment is witnessing the successes of her four children.  Together with her husband Brian, they seem to spend more time on sport courts and fields than at home.  Yet, watching them achieve personal goals in academics and athletics and realizing what kind-hearted individuals they have become is their greatest joy in life.
