Crystal McDowell

Crystal McDowell

AM Care Coordinator

In 2014, Crystal started interning with Mt. Hood Adult Day Center before the company branched out to include the Eastside Explorers. Since that time, Crystal has gained a passion for working with this population, where she is able to use skills such as those she learned becoming a Certified Behavioral Healthcare Specialist. Crystal’s schooling, where she earned her Associate’s in Mental Health and Human Services, has armed her with powerful tools and techniques that are essential for conducting a successful program. Crystal and Lena work closely as a team.

Toni Nestlen

Activities Coordinator

Some may argue that planning fun activities and events is the best position at the Eastside Explorers program- and Toni wouldn’t disagree with that. She works closely with skills trainers and participants to implement enriching and engaging activities that promote socialization, cognition and all-around fun.
