To accommodate our growth, we will be bringing on an additional staff person to help carry the load of the new edition and the growing hospital relationships. We hope to have a new staff person hired before the next sponsor breakfast in order to make introductions. Our goal remains- to make sure we take care of our current business and remain a resource for our sponsors, as we grow.

Location: Portland Providence Medical Center- Social Room
Address: 4805 NE Glisan St, Portland, OR, 97213

Meghan will begin calling on all of the grids in the next few weeks to confirm your information and make the changes for the Hospital Case Management pages on our website.

Nugget of Knowledge
Calmness
"In all activity practice Calmness." To remain calm amidst the chaos of life requires a tremendous amount of focused energy. Be calmly active and actively calm." - Chinese Proverb
After just going to print for the Salem edition, prepping for Southern Oregon and beginning the wrap up for Portland/Vancouver- all while planning 6 hospital vendor fairs and 3 release parties...Chaos is an understatement of our present office dynamic. There is alot of energy running amuck, which doesn't always translate to productivity. Focusing that energy is where the magic happens. - Amy
