Betty Jenkins, at 82, is a firm believer that work, along with a positive mind-set, is what gives us purpose--and that as long as we can work, doing so helps us to stay healthy and happy.

A registered general obstetric nurse, Betty delivered babies for 23 years before becoming divisional nurse manager of obstetrics at National Women’s Hospital. She then went on to a job setting up home care organizations. She did that for 20 years and now sets up home care organizations on a per-contract basis. It's work she loves.

In addition to that, Betty--a mom, grand-mother and great-grandmother--also volunteers at her local church, and travels to Cambodia several times a year to serve with an organization dedicated to the health, well-being, and education of local communities in need. What a marvelous example for us all.
