Out & About
Get to know: Jeanne Tunnicliffe
By Bakersfield Wellness Magazine
AGE 52 HOMETOWN Bakersfield BAKERSFIELD KNOWS YOU AS Director of Oncology Services at Mercy and Memorial Hospitals, a Rotarian and a volunteer.
I BALANCE WELLNESS BY exercising daily, eating lots of fruits and veggies and a bit of dark chocolate as a treat! MY DAILY HEALTH FIX IS using the stairs instead of elevators.
I’M HAPPIEST WHEN I’M spending time with my husband and family. FAVORITE ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY IS participating in community fun runs and working with the ACS and Leukemia and Lymphoma Society with their events.
IN MY HOME, MY SANCTUARY IS my living room sofa with a good book and smooth jazz playing. WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, THE FIRST THING I DO IS say good morning to my husband, Scott.
