About Lisa Vider
Lisa “Malkie” Vider is a healthcare administrator, business leader, and community advocate with more than 25 years of real-world management experience.
Born and raised in the Borough Park and Flatbush sections of Brooklyn, Lisa is the daughter of a New York City public school special education teacher and a healthcare professional. She attended Shulamith High School and later Brooklyn College, beginning her career as a teenager working in her family’s assisted living facility.
What started as a part-time job became a lifelong calling. After her father’s passing, Lisa continued his legacy — expanding her healthcare credentials, deepening her operational expertise, and ultimately serving as administrator of the same facility. In that role, she manages complex regulatory requirements, oversees staff and budgets, and ensures high-quality care for seniors and families.
Lisa understands how government decisions impact real people because she navigates those policies every day.
