Lisa Ketcham is originally from Parker, SD.  She moved to Vermillion in 1987 to attend college and has lived here ever since. She earned a B.S. in Business Administration from USD. Outside DHF, she has served on many community boards over the years to help promote and build the Vermillion community.

“I’m on the Community Engagement Committee so am involved in events such as: The Best Medicine: LAUGH, An Evening for Women, annual leadership dinner, etc.  Our committee promotes membership for DHF; helps create awareness in the community about DHF and health services offered by Sanford Vermillion, Community Health Service Award selection, etc.

“I previously served on the board for 12 years and after sitting out a year, have returned for additional terms.  There are many highlights from my time on the board, but probably the biggest ones are being involved with the construction of the new state-of-the-art facility, being able to offer Assisted Living options for our community, working with a great team of board members and staff, and making a difference to enhance the quality of life for our community through the services and programs that we offer.” Ketcham said.
