Spending an afternoon in the kitchen with health guru, entrepreneur, adjunct professor and avid DIY-er Frances Bernice Free (also known as Fran), one can’t help but take a second look at the opportunities we have to make our own community better, smarter and healthier.
Fran Free and her husband, Dennis Nelms, believe that good food, good sleep, low stress and plenty of movement are the keys to a healthy lifestyle. They’re teaching that philosophy to their three kids, ages 15, 14 and 11. “What they do with it is up to them, but they’re getting a good head start,” Fran said.
Kate Mamiseishvili’s life experience is probably quite different than that of the students she represents as dean of the College of Education and Health Professions at the University of Arkansas, but that experience leads her to work even harder to provide national prominence through local impact.
