"Hi! My name is Jamie Anderson, I have been employed at PCHD since July 2015 as the Nutritionist. I serve my community as the new WIC Coordinator. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Nutrition from Kaplan University and was employed by a pharmacy for almost 11 years. As a lifetime resident of Louisiana, MO this is where I attended grade school and high school. I am still residing there today with my two wonderful children whom I love spending my time with. Reading and exercising are also some things I enjoy in my spare time, but my favorite thing to do outside of work is family time. Growing up in a large family has made me very family oriented, and I am very thankful for that. I am honored to help aide PCHD in continuing to offer the wonderful services we do, to our neighbors, the residents of our community. "
