David Townsend has
been with HealthLink since 2002 and typically serves as a "floating" on-site project manager for
new, large, and complex construction projects. David has a rich history in construction dating
to 1976, with a majority of that experience being in senior housing construction. David's career
experience of building industrial, commercial, custom residential, and multi-family housing makes

including pre-construction estimating, bidding, subcontractor selection and on-site project
management. He excels in problem solving had has saved clients untold and immeasurable amounts
of cost savings by being able to anticipate problems before they become an issue and by solving
other problems in the field rather than by committee. David holds a degree in Construction

Dale Sartin, Interior Design Project Manager
Joining the company
in 2010, Dale Sartin brings 30 years of experience in healthcare design to HealthLink Development.
In 1981, she left the field of residential design when she was asked to join the construction/design
department of Beverly Enterprises which was, at that time, the largest owner of skilled-care nursing
homes in the country. In this huge, fast-paced proving ground, Dale was integral in helping to
develop the change of esthetics in nursing home interiors while also having the opportunity to work
with furniture manufacturers in the creation of furniture designed exclusively for an aging
population, fabric designers in creating more sophisticated and appealing patterns for healthcare
upholstery, and tableware that was more functional for people with limited abilities. Leaving
Beverly in 1986, Dale opened her own design firm and focused her attention on design for Assisted
and Independent living completing over 200 projects in 24 states before partnering with HealthLink.
Working in a clean, eclectic style with an understanding of location, demographics and market area,
Dale continues to make each project a unique and restful environment.
