“I am excited to join Cedar Community as director of Cedar Valley Center and Spa. I had been looking for a way to contribute since moving into a Village Home with my husband, Ted, almost eight years ago. When I heard of the opening at Cedar Valley, I knew this was what I had been looking for, and it was a perfect match for my background. Cedar Valley Center and Spa, with its sprawling 100 acres, is a true mind, body and spirit center. The fact it also supports a faith-based organization that’s known as the ‘world’s friendliest’ sets us apart from others. Everyone has been so helpful and supportive, I look forward to going to work every day,” said Condé.
Condé’s interests outside of work include gardening, ecology, music, photography, reading, nature walks and volunteering.
Condé’ noted there have been many changes at Cedar Valley in the past six months with the addition of spa suites and services. “If you have never been to Cedar Valley Center, stop in anytime and I would be happy to give you a tour,” said Condé.
