Cara Winship, BS, CHES
Wellness Managing Director
For the past three years, Cara has enjoyed being able to offer people at the Wellness Center a variety of opportunities for healthy living. She loves working with the residents and members, knowing that they can all still learn from each other. With a philosophy of living life in moderation, she does not encourage depriving yourself of something you enjoy, but rather treating yourself periodically and then compensating appropriately. In her free time, Cara plays soccer, exercises, gardens and works on her house.
