William Beneke, president of the Adeline E. Prouty Board of Trustees, states, “The board is most appreciative of Phil Kaufmann for his 20 years of stellar service as Greenfield administrator, guiding us through a campus expansion and providing steady leadership throughout the ongoing pandemic, with Greenfield having gotten through the past year without a single resident testing positive for COVID-19. We wish him the very best in his future endeavors. At the same time, the board is pleased to welcome Lynn Olds as our new administrator. We believe that she is the right person at the right time, and we’re exceedingly impressed with her experience, energy and enthusiasm.”
