One of the goals for 2016 is to promote to our patients (current and future) is that we offer comprehensive care for women. This ad will be in this week’s paper and on social media.
On Monday July 11, please welcome Dr. Ingrid Kaijage!
She comes to us with over 20 years experience and will be practicing in Pine City and Hinckley. Prior to FirstLight, Dr. Kaijage practiced at Essentia in International Falls. She will be in training from Monday and Tuesday and in clinic (Pine City) on Wednesday seeing patients.
Dr. Kaijage specializes in family medicine, chronic disease management, OB (prenatal care and deliveries, including C-section), pediatric care, wellness visits and women’s health.
Below find one of the ads that will be featured in the newspaper introducing her to our communities; other ads have been produced for social media.
Take a few minutes to introduce yourself and welcome her to our #FirstLightFamily!
Running into an extraordinary person at FirstLight isn’t uncommon, but Cheryl Blegen is beyond the exceptional.
Recently, Cheryl was the recipient of the Steve Schulz Visionary Award for her connection to the community and involvement with local law enforcement.
Cheryl has been a member of Kanabec County since 1990 when she was hired on the ambulance crew at FirstLight (then Kanabec Hospital). During the next 20 years, while working with the ambulance team, she was offered an opportunity to train within the pharmacy department to become a Certified Pharmacy Technician. Cheryl has also volunteered as a Sheriff’s Reserve and been active as an Ogilvie First Responder. Helping people has always been a passion of Cheryl’s and when she battled some personal health issues, she still managed to continue to volunteer alongside local law enforcement.
The Steve Schulz Award encourages citizens to get involved in community efforts to reduce crime by bridging the gap between citizens and local law enforcement. Each year, Kanabec County’s BADGES division presents the award. This award is given to a nominated individual who has provided some sort of quality improvement to Kanabec County.
Congratulations, Cheryl! You are a true leader within your community and an asset to the FirstLight family.
