Lois Mackenzie, RN, Director of Silverton Clinic

Lois is the Director of the Silverton Clinic. She has a unique relationship with the Miner's Union Hospital - she spent part of her childhood living in the hospital building, where she saw people born and die while her father served as the town physician. Apparently the passion for medicine runs in the family, as she has been working as a nurse for over 23 years. She moved back to Silverton 5 years ago and teaches Tai Chi twice a week.
