Jennifer boasts over twenty years  of experience in private and public healthcare, including Cardinal  Glennon   Children’s Hospital as a Dietitian as well as Director of  Fitness  and Nutrition for Jimmy Connors brother Johnny Connors Belleville Illinois health and tennis club .  Jennifer’s grandfather and brother both served and has witnessed firsthand the difficulties facing Veterans needing to be seen at government-operated facilities, including a backlog of patients and a lack of outside, community providers to address this overflow of patients. This was the impetus that inspire Jennifers collaboration with Veterans’ Advantage Urgent Care.
