I am Fran Schneider, and I manage the Director of Day Programs in Columbia. I have been here since 2017. I am responsible for all aspects of the operations of our 3 Columbia facilities which is easy because of my awesome staff.

My career in the field of disabilities is lengthy which means I have had the great fortune of watching the care of individuals with disabilities evolve and be enriched over the years. I have provided services to individuals with disabilities in many capacities, including in the home, school, work, and community. Before coming to PHC, I spent 17 years at CMSE, the sheltered workshop in Columbia. While there, I was able to work in many capacities, including production staff, and rising to manager. While there, I completed my degree at William Woods University with a BS in Human Resources.

I believe that the individuals I serve, and my employees all have unique skills and abilities and that those skills should be utilized and celebrated. My words to live by are: "Be the reason someone smiles today".
