PORT TOWNSEND — The Jefferson Healthcare Foundation has added two new board members, Joyce Cardinal and Judy Tordini.

In 2011, she started serving as the chief nursing officer at Jefferson Healthcare.

Tordini is a registered nurse who was educated in the Midwest and is a longtime heart-health advocate on the Olympic Peninsula.

Name changed

PORT ANGELES — Little Sprouts Christian Preschool, located for 23 years at 118 E. Ahlvers Road, has changed its name to Olympic Christian Preschool.

“The name change doesn’t signal a change in our curriculum, direction or approach,” added teacher Shelley Shamp.
