Board of Directors

Eileen Clifford, MD, SC, Chairperson
Medical Director Care Management St. Joseph's Health, Paterson, NJ
As the first woman to chair Eva’s Board of Trustees, Dr. Clifford brings an in-depth understanding of Eva’s operations and history and a deep commitment to the organization’s mission. She has played an active role in the growth and development Eva’s Village since it first opened its doors as a soup kitchen in 1982. Beginning that year, Dr. Clifford organized a weekly medical clinic for kitchen guests, staffed by volunteer doctors from St. Joseph’s Health in Paterson; the program eventually became Eva’s Medical and Dental Clinic that still serves Eva’s clients and community members today. Dr. Clifford has served as a member of Eva’s Board of Directors since 2009; she was elected Secretary, then Vice President, prior to becoming the Chair in 2017.
A practicing board-certified internist, Dr. Clifford’s professional responsibilities include Medical Director of Care Management at St. Joseph’s Health. She trained and worked for eight years as a nurse, then attended New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry, receiving her medical degree in 1977. She has served as a member, officer, and president of St. Joseph’s Health Medical Board, and on the boards of various non-profit organizations. Dr. Clifford has received numerous awards recognizing her leadership and outstanding service to the Passaic County community.
Dr. Clifford joined the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth in 1958. The Sisters engage in education, health care, pastoral and social service ministries in 13 dioceses within the United States, El Salvador and Haiti.
