Administrator Manager
Lyn Clark
I have been employed in Primary Health since 2001. The ever changing environment is exciting if not a challenging role. In 2012 I gained NZIM Certificate in Practice Management (Health).
I have 3 boys that include a set of twins. My boys taught me patience and stamina to say the least but also the benefits of teamwork which is a vital part of working in the medical sector.
Interests are the gym, fishing, and music. Favourite holidays are camping and road trips. My family and friends are central to my life and I spend as much as time will allow with them.
