Heidi Vanderbeek
I have been in the care facilitation role here at St. Anthony's for more than 5 years. My job is to meet an individual where they are at. I can help navigate complex situations and make connections to resources, insurance, social services, transportation, safety, and access to food. I work with all community members, families and parishioners. Everyone deserves to be happy, healthy and accepted.
