Meet Tammy. Working in the Central New York region, success for Tammy is having numerous community providers in the area that are connected to one another and working on a holistic approach to improve health.![]()

Joking that she is 4 foot nothing – Tammy, standing at 4’11’’, has a passion for all things athletics. Field hockey and softball were among the sports she played, but her true love is basketball; playing throughout high school and in college, Tammy says she would have been in the WNBA if she was 6 feet tall. After college, she continued following her passion by coaching 7th and 8th grade girls for almost 20 years, eventually stopping because she was pursuing her master’s degree. Although coaching this group of girls was a part time job for her, she also made time to volunteer for JV and Varsity teams throughout her community simply because she loves the sport that much.![]()

Tammy also enjoys a good book – the fun, fictional ones, but also the ones focused on development, improvement, and idea generation. She appreciates when a book offers insight into what others have done creatively and gets her thinking outside the box.![]()

Learning this lesson the hard way, Tammy wants us all to have the courage to ask for help. It doesn’t make you any less of a person to have to rely on others.

Meet Melissa, our referral network navigator in Central New York. Success to Melissa means being able to continuously get more community members connected to services to strengthen our communities.![]()

A major passion for Melissa is creating a little homestead for her and her family. Often doing things around the house, Melissa enjoys being outdoors, tending to her animals, and working in their garden. Yes, her animals include chicken and rabbits – but they also include her worms! Sitting in a bucket in her garage, Melissa uses these friends to help with her garden, as they create compost from scraps. They may not be the most conventional of house pets, but they’re a great (and effective) addition to Melissa’s gardening process.![]()

Although she hasn’t been able to do this much since Covid, one of Melissa’s hobbies is being a ‘Pound Fitness’ instructor. A workout done with drumsticks and music, Melissa is looking forward to getting back into teaching once classes open up at full capacity.![]()

A simple piece of advice for us from Melissa is to practice gratitude daily. Make it a part of your everyday routine because it is important!
