Meet Shelley Brown, Health Services Associate at Evergreen! Since joining our team in 2012, Shelley has been an important member of our team, contributing to the health and safety of our students and providing valuable support to our health services department. She has a wide range of responsibilities that support the wellbeing of our students, including coordinating students’ medical appointments and ensuring that students in our residential units have the appropriate medical supplies and nutritional items to meet their needs. Outside of Evergreen, Shelley is passionate about helping rescued dogs find a permanent home. She was a volunteer with Pawfect Life Rescue, a non-profit organization that finds homes for dogs from rural areas and unsafe shelters. Through her volunteer work, Shelley’s family fostered about 70 dogs over a 7-year span! The dogs ranged in age from puppies to seniors, and her family played a huge role in helping these dogs find their forever families! Shelley’s compassion for helping others extends far beyond our students.
