Providers Voice Spring/Summer 2014 | Page 2

WELCOME our NEW Members FROM THE “My provider friend referred me, and I’m so glad she did! My field rep is so helpful!” _ Asanka Lintotage, Richfield CEO NEW PCI Member since March 2014 Welcome to the first issue of Providers Voice in our new format. While we hope you enjoy the new appearance of Providers Voice, I want to assure you that the changes are not just window dressing. We went through a strategic planning with two goals in mind. First, we wanted to create a sense of community between Providers Choice and providers we sponsor on the Food Program. Community is a two-way street. Our new format will help you get to know the Providers Choice staff better; and also give you more opportunities to have your voice heard. Our second goal was to continue providing you with information and ideas to help you be successful in your participation on the Food Program. I encourage you to take advantage of the extra features available in the electronic version of the Providers Voice, including videos, feedback forms and many links to external resources. Happy reading, Gail Birch, CEO Providers Choice, Inc. 2 PROVIDERS VOICE CENTRAL Kathryn M Bazoff ▪ Waconia Cheryl Bialik ▪ Zimmerman Tiffany Brandt ▪ Staples Ashley J Burtyk ▪ Glencoe Janita Marie Dieger ▪ Foley Jennifer M Dougherty ▪ Rockford Courtney Ann Engstrom ▪ Montrose Sarah Lynn Friesen ▪ Willmar Mia Terrall Harrell ▪ Zimmerman Brenda M Jacobson ▪ Foley Heather Ann Loehrer ▪ St Cloud Andrea Evelyn Mcadams ▪ Elk River Rebecca I Palomino ▪ St Cloud Louann Marie Reed ▪ Monticello Kamila Rose Roquette ▪ St Joseph Danielle A Scharber ▪ Otsego EAST CENTRAL Leah S Armstrong ▪ Cambridge Dorene Devall Bottem ▪ Forest Lake Nicole A Duevel ▪ Blaine Rebecca A Falck ▪ Ham Lake Anna A Metcalf ▪ St Francis Chelsea Lynn Niehaus ▪ Mahtomedi Amy M Rizner ▪ Ramsey Shelayne R Zeidler ▪ Wyoming METRO Holly May Adams ▪ Eagan Anab A Aden ▪ Eden Prairie Megan Theresa Boelter ▪ Belle Plaine Anna L Brynteson ▪ Savage Magdalena M Deroo ▪ Minneapolis Shannon M Hatch ▪ Farmington Angela Nicole Hillman ▪ Shakopee Paula Ann Jessop ▪ Champlin Nanthida Keziah Kao ▪ Savage Asanka E Lintotage ▪ Richfield Lisa R Maldonado ▪ Prior Lake Alicia Marie Mason ▪ S St Paul Heather Rae Morgen ▪ Hastings Amy Ngo ▪ Plymouth Alyssa Marie Nugent ▪ Minneapolis Noella L O’Rourke ▪ Savage Beatriz Pacheco ▪ St Paul Amy Melissa Peters ▪ Apple Valley Kimberly Rose Roush ▪ Maplewood Sarah Lynn Schweich ▪ Hastings Namom Sokhom-Khou ▪ Shakopee Indumathy M Sonnadara ▪ Golden Valley Patricia H Spahn ▪ Lakeville Nicole T Sullivan ▪ Shakopee Do you see any of your friends or neighbors?
