Prior to joining SCAN, Ms. Owens served as an Assistant Program Director for Lunch Break where she was responsible for ensuring that program infrastructures were in place and operating efficiently.

“For me, it is imperative that we provide tools and resources to those in our community, to help them live independently,” said Ms. Owens.  “I’ve worked closely with individuals at risk of homelessness, mental or behavioral health concerns, low-income families and those who are food insecure. Developing strong relationships is the foundation of everything I do, both professionally and personally.”

Since 1988, SCAN has been New Jersey’s premier non-profit provider of social education, and health and wellness programs for adults. The organization provides the community with programming to promote healthy lifestyles, continuing education, and access to community and economic resources to keep seniors active, healthy, and connected.
