Katy Woodard, an associate of The Fountains at Canterbury in Oklahoma City, recently received her Oklahoma Long Term Care Administrator license from the Oklahoma State Board of Examiners for Long Term Care Administrators.
Woodard, program director and now administrator at The Fountains at Canterbury, fell in love with the senior population while engaging in philanthropic opportunities through her collegiate sorority, Sigma Kappa. Hoping to continue working with seniors, she pursued a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in speech-language pathology at the University of Central Oklahoma.
Woodard spent seven years practicing speech-language pathology in skilled rehabilitation, two years of which were spent as the director of rehabilitation in The Springs at The Fountains at Canterbury. Most recently, Woodard decided to continue pursuing her passion for the elderly by becoming a long term care administrator. She completed an 18-week class through Administrator University in Oklahoma City as well as 560 hours of required training. After passing the State Board Exam, Woodard completed the National Association of Long Term Care Administrators Boards in May of this year and became fully licensed by the Oklahoma State Board of Examiners for Long Term Care Administrators in June.
“We are very proud to have Katy serving as the long term care administrator in The Springs at The Fountains at Canterbury,” said Scott Steinmetz, executive director of The Fountains at Canterbury. “Her passion for helping our residents thrive motivated her to pursue her Oklahoma Long Term Care Administrator license. The time and energy she invested to achieve this milestone illustrates her dedication and commitment.”
