Adrienne continues to compete internationally in Ballroom dance and is soon to redefine herself as the founder of The Towsen Clinic.&nbsp;Lisa is moving into Medicare consulting, partnering with major health systems to interpret new Medicare regulations, streamline processes, and help organizations adapt quickly without compromising patient care,&nbsp;while at the same time passing the&nbsp;stepwise Court of Master Sommelier examinations, and crawling her way back to the marathon running circuit.
