We look forward to her leadership in advancing our nutrition initiatives and fostering a healthier community.”

Eager will be responsible for developing comprehensive nutrition and wellness programs tailored to meet the diverse needs of clients and partners. She will also collaborate closely with the community and home-delivered meals programs to ensure that the offerings are nutritious and aligned with current dietary trends.

“I am excited to join Senior Solutions and contribute to its mission of promoting healthier living,” said Eager. “I look forward to collaborating with the talented team here and making a positive impact on the well-being of our clients and the broader community.”
