Another aspect of Eden Health she finds rewarding is her community outreach events, offering in-service programs to the community and our care partners, on topics such as fall prevention, body mechanics, safe transfer techniques, proper assistive device use and more. Adrienne grew up in Pennsylvania but fell in love with the beautiful Pacific Northwest and moved to Bellingham shortly after graduating high school. In her free time, she enjoys mountain biking, snowboarding and playing guitar.
