Abby Brandt Whalin was chosen to head the team of Community Health Workers in White Salmon, helping locals find a path to a more healthy life. “I think working with people on their worst days makes you appreciate the rest of the days that you have. I feel privileged that people are willing to call an organization like WAGAP and share when things are really hard because that can be the hardest time to open up about your struggles,” Whalin said.
