Letter from Chief Executive Officer Jon Linnell
It’s been a “Long and Winding Road”
It has been a little over a year since the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way
we see and take care of patients. It sure was and is a learning process. We defi-
nitely are fortunate to have a staff that has been willing to “roll up their sleeves”
and take this challenge head on. This pertains to all employees within our organi-
zation, as it takes everyone to make the wheels go “round and round”.
We strive to take care of the residents of our service area and also those that
travel through our service area. We hope that everyone takes this pandemic as a
serious and potentially dangerous environment. We all need to do everything we
can to make this a part of history and not a continuing saga. We have seen how
wearing masks, social distancing, hand washing and using sanitizers has helped
to slow the spread of COVID and has also curbed our usual flu epidemics that we
see each year. It is not over, but we are hopefully seeing the light at the end of the
tunnel. Please, please try and be a part of the solution and not a part of the on
going problem.
The vaccines are proven to stop deaths caused by COVID and also aid in stopping the spread of the pandem-
ic. Vaccines are the best tool we have to combat the pandemic. They protect not only you, but also your
family, friends, clients and greater communities. COVID does not prejudice itself based on your political
preferences or ethnicity. It has taken the lives of many from our communities and every life is important.
What if: we did not vaccinate for polio, measles, mumps, rubella, TB, hepatitis, etc.? We would be in a place we
would not want to be….. so again, please for yourself and your loved ones, friends, and fellow colleagues follow
the guidelines and get the vaccine.
Stay safe and please remember that it doesn’t hit home till it hits home…
Sincerely,
Jon Linnell, CEO

Letter from Chief Nursing Officer Sara Kazmierczak
This past year has been challenging to say the least; however, despite these challenges
our team at NVHC has gone above and beyond to meet the needs of our community.
Beginning last March, a coordinated effort between all departments in our facility took
effect to respond to the novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV (COVID-19). Our quick response
and coordinated effort, with concern for our community at its core, has helped us to
keep staff abreast of challenges or new developments and respond to our patients’
needs the best we are able.
Although COVID-19 has disrupted and altered the way health care is delivered in the
United States and across the world, North Valley Health Center has remained com-
mitted to providing its community with services that allow for convenient care such as
inpatient admissions, skilled swing bed admissions, Emergency Room, regularly sched-
uled clinic visits, monoclonal antibody infusions, and other various services. Screening
protocols continue to take place prior to entry into the facility, as well as prior to any
scheduled procedures, to allow for a safe environment for all patients and employees.
Currently, vaccination against COVID-19 seems to be on everyone’s mind. The providers
at North Valley Health Center encourage all members of our community to seriously
consider getting vaccinated against COVID-19. Understandably, there are a lot of questions and hesitancy regarding
this decision; however, the vaccinations that have been approved under the Emergency Use Authorization have
undergone vigorous testing and scrutiny prior to being approved for distribution. We encourage those who are
contemplating this decision to utilize the best available resources such as the Minnesota Department of Health and
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Additionally, patients can always consult with their primary care
provider to discuss any questions or concerns they may have. As of April 2, 2021, NVHC has distributed over 2,000
COVID-19 vaccines to our community, including 1st and 2nd dose of Moderna and Pfizer. Anyone age 18 and older is
now eligible to become vaccinated against COVID-19. If you or anyone you know is interested in becoming vaccinated,
please call North Valley Health Center to schedule an appointment.
Every day we are one step closer to returning to a sense of normalcy, we encourage all to continue to be vigilant in
their precautions and get vaccinated!
Best Regards,
Sara Kazmierczak, CNO

Thank You for Supporting Front Line Workers!
The entire North Valley Health Center staff is continually
thankful for the heartfelt support that we receive from the
community, especially that which we have recieved during
the COVID-19 pandemic.
We would like to thank everyone for all that they have done
over this past year, and continue to do now, to try and ease
the burden on front line workers, both throughout our
community and within our healthcare facility.
From staying home, to washing your hands, to donating
masks, and everything in between - no matter the effort, big
or small, we are thankful for your support of front line
workers!
Thank you for continuing to wear your mask, washing your
hands frequently, getting vaccinated, and social distancing.
Members of NVHC clinic staff We want to assure you that NVHC continues to be dedicated
wearing masks donated by the
community in April. to our community’s health during these challenging times!
ADVANCE DIRECTIVES
North Valley Health Center has informational resource packets available to the
community regarding Advance Directives. An Advance Directive is a legal
document that allows you to write your decisions/wishes about end-of-life
care ahead of time in the event you are not able to communicate those
decisions due to a medical condition. It gives you a way to tell your wishes to
family, friends and medical providers. There are two main types of Advance
Directives-the “Living Will” and the “Durable Power of Attorney for Health
Care”. The packets contain information on both of these and information to
consider when completing a directive. A sample form is included in the
resource packet for you to use. If you have any questions, you can contact
Sara Kazmierczak, CNO or Kim Rindy, RN at 218-745-4211.

North Valley Public Health:
Making COVID-19 Vaccines Available to Our Communities!
North Valley Public Health (NVPH) has been hard at work making the COVID-19 vaccine available to Marshall
County residents. They have held 4 community clinics in various cities around the
county for residents 65 and older and 2 community clinics for those 18 and older. Additionally, they have
helped vaccinate phase 1 priority groups, as designated by the state health department, including: school
staff and child care providers, EMS and first responders, assisted living residents and staff, group home
residents and staff, healthcare workers and volunteer drivers, and other targeted groups of essential work-
ers. Like North Valley Health Center, as NVPH continues to get in vaccines from the state, they will continue
to do their part to help get our community vaccinated. NVPH has been a crucial asset in our community’s
fight against COVID-19!
Not only has NVPH been vital in getting our communities vaccinated, but it has also been an
important resource for Marshall County residents as they seek accurate information about COVID-19 and
the vaccines that are offered. The NVPH managed Facebook page, Marshall County Emergency Manage-
ment, has been providing science based COVID-19 information since March 2020. It is currently the best
platform to find out about upcoming vaccination opportunities in Marshall county. With so much informa-
tion about the available vaccines floating around, NVPH wants to remind you that all of the available vac-
cines are safe and effective. “There is no “best” vaccine option as the best vaccine is the one that is avail-
able to you! All of the vaccines are almost 100% effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization and
death,” says NVPH director, Frances Tougas.
Although COVID-19 mitigation, prevention, and vaccination has been a major part of the work North Val-
ley Public Health has done this past year, they have continued their family home visits (albeit virtually) and
other services. We are so thankful for all the ways in which North Valley Public Health continues to serve our
communities!
If you have additional questions about receiving a vaccine, COVID-19 or the other services offered through
North Valley Public Health, please call 218-745-5154 or follow Marshall County Emergency Management on
Facebook. Be sure to follow North Valley Health Center on Facebook for the most up-to-date vaccination
information offered through the clinic.

Ashley Jobe and Daniel Magaña to our Facility!
Welcome, Ashley Jobe!

NVHC for one of her clinical rotations, which is when she dis-
covered her love for rural healthcare. Ashley is excited to return
to the area, as she is originally from Thief River Falls, MN.
Prior to returning to NVHC, Ashley worked as a physical
therapist for Sanford in Fargo, ND. She originally started in the
inpatient neurological rehabilitation department. Ashley
later went on to complete an orthopedic residency at Sanford
Southpointe in Fargo, ND. She is currently working towards
becoming a clinical specialist in orthopedic physical therapy.
Ashley and her fiancé live in Crookston, MN. In her spare time
she enjoys spending time with family, being active outdoors,
and loving any and all dogs that cross her path.
Welcome, Daniel Magaña !

history and English. He then attended the University of Mary in
Bismarck, ND where he received his graduate degree in Physical

Services in Erskine, Crookston, and Red Lake Falls, MN. Dan has
a strong emphasis on manual therapy, exercise, and education

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT
OF THE NVHC MISSION!
HC 2020 pg. 16Thank You Bjorsness Family!
This past December North
Valley Health Center received a
generous donation from John
and Bonnie Bjorsness of
Newfolden to purchase a vein
finder! When John came to the
ER last November, it was his
daughter-in-law, Heather
Bjorssness, that was the nurse
on duty. Heather has been a
nurse at NVHC for over 10 years;
yet, even for her, finding a vein
to administer an IV is difficult at
times. After several pokes and
failed attempts to find John’s
vein, Heather knew that a vein
finder would make the process Bonnie and John Bjorsness
of finding a vein less difficult for both the staff and the patients they serve. “Vein
finders are something that I have wanted to see our hospital receive for quite some
time. They not only benefit the nursing staff, but other departments as well,” says
Heather. That’s where John and Bonnie stepped in. They donated the funds to pur-
chase a vein finder to help both the nurses and patients have a less stressful expe-
rience. “We saw how much it was needed when we came to the ER,” says Bonnie.
The vein finder came in January and has been a great addition to how we serve our
patients at North Valley Health
Center. “All of our nurses are
skilled at administering an IV;
however, there are some
factors that make finding a vein
harder in some patients versus
others. A vein finder helps us
better serve all of our patients.
We are thankful for this
technology!” says Sara
Kazmierczak, CNO at NVHC.
On behalf of all of us at NVHC,
thank you Bjorsness family for
your generous donation!
