Jennifer Hoppins
​
Center Manager

With a dynamic blend of intellectual curiosity and creative spirit, Jennifer serves as the Center Manager for OsteoStrong Greensboro, where she is passionate about helping others build strength, confidence and resilience.  Her background spans education, the arts and the outdoors, shaping a holistic approach to wellness and community building. Jennifer is a produced playwright, creative writer and illustrator, and brings this same creativity into her work--whether supporting members on their wellness journey or organizing engaging community experiences.  She is the host of the OsteoStrong Book Club and coordinates special events that foster meaningful, in-person connections among our members.  Her path to this work is deeply personal.  After experiencing a traumatic brain injury due to a fracture and fall related to osteopenia, her life was profoundly changed.  Her recovery was supported by sessions at OsteoStrong and the extraordinary clients and staff whose knowledge and encouragement continue to inspire and inform her healing.
