Kiwanians heard about Healthy 365, a community health initiative at Hancock Health from Amanda Everidge. Amanda is a life time resident of Hancock County. She received her Bachelor’s Degree from Purdue University in 2002 in Psychology, at which time she began working in community mental health. She received her Master’s Degree with the IU School of Social Work in 2009. She has been with Hancock Regional Hospital since 2010 serving many roles including: Therapist on Reflections, Social Service Coordinator for ER, Women’s/Children’s Unit, and Outreach, and Hospice care. In 2016, she began working for the Hospital Foundation in the Population Health Department-implementing two new programs: Hancock County System of Care and Hancock Health Congregational Network. In February 2017, she moved into the Healthy Community Manager role and has incorporated her two initial programs into the overarching healthy365 initiative. Amanda has a strong passion for health and wellness and works every day to help empower and motivate others to see that small changes in environment and behavior can have a huge impact on quality of life.
