For Lisa Story, caring for others isn’t just a career—it’s a calling. With 25 years of experience in nursing, she has dedicated her life to the medical field, specifically geriatrics, where she has found her greatest joy in serving seniors and their families. As the Director of Health Services and Sales & Outreach at Brandon Wilde, she plays a vital role in ensuring that residents receive the care and attention they deserve, all while bringing warmth and compassion to everyone she meets.
Lisa’s passion for geriatrics was ignited at the very beginning of her nursing career. “I strive to brighten everyone’s day that I come in contact with,” she says. “There is not much that brings me greater joy than serving others and helping those in need.” This dedication has remained a constant in her life, even as she navigated personal and professional challenges.
Like so many in the medical field, Lisa faced an incredibly difficult time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Juggling the stress of work with homeschooling two young children, she found herself at a crossroads. Unsure of what the future held, she prayed for direction. An unexpected job opportunity outside of the medical field provided a much-needed change of pace, and while she learned a great deal, something was missing—her passion for nursing.
That passion came calling in December 2021 when she received an offer from Brandon Wilde that combined both her clinical background and experience in marketing and sales. It was the perfect fit. “I get to help our seniors and families all day, every day,” Lisa shares. “It’s truly a dream job.”
