Amy M. Wyant serves as the Executive Director of Aitkin County CARE, Inc. located in her hometown of Aitkin, MN. The organization is very near and dear to her heart as her family utilized its services when her father was battling Parkinson's and more recently with her mother who has Alzheimer's. Helping people age well, age strong and live in their homes for as long as possible is rewarding and valuable work for her.

Her professional career has included many different learning opportunities from managing a small-town cafe to teaching at an international school in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Each chapter is filled with stories of meeting amazing people from different walks of life, cultures, backgrounds and ages.

At age 18, she could wait to leave small town rural Minnesota and now she can't imagine living anywhere else in the world where she is working on aging well & strong herself in the heart of Aitkin County.
