Wellness Champion: Cynthia Birney
Custodial Manager, Andreasen Center for Wellness
The Andreasen Center for Wellness has created an important bridge between Andrews and our local community, but maintaining the facility is a constant challenge. Each day we’re met with new struggles and messes, and each night our custodial team works hard to return the facility to order. Since our opening in 2019, Cynthia Birney has helped lead this charge and has committed her days to making each Andreasen member’s experience a good one.
In spite of the hard work, or perhaps because of it, Cyndi models work-life balance. She uses her vacation days, makes time for lunch with her husband each afternoon and leaves work when she needs to. She is present in her personal life so that she can be present in her professional life.
Cyndi has also committed herself to improving the social wellness of her colleagues, ensuring that no special life event of a coworker or student employee goes unnoticed. Most importantly, she prioritizes spiritual wellbeing. She is eager to listen to your hardships, pray them over and share about her personal faith.
Cyndi, thank you for the reminder that wellness is more than what we do for ourselves.
