We are so excited to introduce Kyndal, the newest member of our Admin Team at Hands for Living!

If you have visited our Lynnwood clinic in the last few weeks, then you may already have had the pleasure of being greeted by her warm and sunny disposition. Kyndal's years of experience in patient care make her not only a skilled administrator but also a compassionate advocate for the well-being of all those she serves. Fun fact! We are in awe of the many ways Kyndal brings people together outside of the clinic as well - she’s been organizing a local music festival for the past seven years!
