In addition to being the store manager, Joan has been a pharmacy technician since 1997 and has been certified since 1999. She has a biology degree from Concordia College and feels that background helps with her duties in the pharmacy. As part of her job, Joan enjoys doing the data entry of prescriptions and dealing with all sorts of issues for our customers.

"I have been at MedSave Family Pharmacy working on a regular basis for years. I've come a long way from when I used to dust shelves at age 10+, did deliveries in High School, and have now become accustomed to working at Data Entry. I can do pretty much anything from cleaning the bathroom to drawing blood for tests. I have the privilege of working with breastfeeding moms and their newborn infants. The best part of the job at MedSave is getting to know the customers and making them a part of my family. A perk, and yet a curse, is that I get to be a part of the "family business" with my hero, my dad."

"I have worked at MedSave for eight years now. My job has changed a lot from when I first started as a High School student. Now I work full time at data entry but I also help out at any other station when they need me. I really enjoy seeing all of our customers and helping them with whatever I can. I also focus on Patient Assistance Programs and try getting people help with medical expenses."

Keturah started at MedSave during the beginning of 2010 and is one of our pharmacy techs at the Long Term Care location. She moved to Bemidji from Oregon and has been living in Bemidji for approximately 2 1/2 years. The thing that Keturah enjoys most about MedSave is the friendly atmosphere. Outside of work Keturah enjoys spending time with her family. 

I joined the family of MedSave in May 2005 in the accounting department. Along with other accounting duties I am the contact person for accounts payable. It is great to work with employees dedicated to provide the best service possible for our "family" of customers.

Angie comes to us from Grand Forks, ND. She most recently worked at a long-term care facility in the Bemidji Area. She works at the Long Term Care location and enjoys making sure that all our local homes are well taken care of. In her spare time she is an avid fisherman and is part of Team Northland Fishing Team.

Carol is a certified technician with 9 years of experience. She has enjoyed working with the Medsave Pharmacy since February 2006 and currently fills prescriptions. "It's great to work in a place that really does have a family atmosphere."

Sue started working at Medsave in January 2008. Sue has recently became our expert in the Compounding Lab where she makes customized medications for our patients to fit their specific needs. Sue is a people person; she enjoys her coworkers and loves being around the customers. Outside of work she enjoys reading and spending time with her family. Sue is originally from International Falls and moved to Bemidji seven years ago.
