Biography
I am proud to be the manager of the Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation departments at Crossing Rivers Health. I have worked as an exercise physiologist for twenty-one years, fifteen of which have been at Crossing Rivers Health. I have a broad range of experience and background working with many different diseases and conditions, such as obesity, fibromyalgia, cancer, heart disease, and stroke to name a few.
My professional philosophy is to prevent illness and prolong a higher quality of life through exercise. Exercise is one of the best and least expensive medicines in treating and managing chronic disease and illness. I am an advocate for cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation and work to advance the practice of caring for cardiac and pulmonary patients.
On a personal note, I am married to my husband, Jasen, and have two boys, Jasper and Jorey. We actively engage in dairy farming.
~Tammy
