Anne knew she wanted a career working with children and especially helping kids with autism. She explored several healthcare professions and learned about occupational therapy through a family friend. She attained her bachelor’s and graduate degrees from The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth and became an Occupational Therapist in 2010.
Anne soon discovered that she had chosen the right career path – she loves seeing people doing things they didn’t think they could do! Her approach to therapy is always patient-led because if she isn’t addressing what is most important to them, they won’t make as much progress.
Originally from Lowry, she had heard many rave reviews from employees about the culture at Glacial Ridge. She was excited to return to her roots when she joined the GRHS team in June 2023.
Anne is a lifelong learner, evident through her special medical interests and training. She has certifications in Beckman Oral Motor, Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding, and is a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist and ADHD Rehabilitation Services Provider.
Beginning January 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are requiring hospitals and health systems to post their “current, standard charges.”
Hospital charges are the amount a hospital bills an insurer for a service. For most patients, hospitals are reimbursed at a level well below charges. Patients covered by commercial insurance products have negotiated rates with hospitals. Patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid programs have hospital reimbursement rates determined by federal and state governments.
Hospital charges may include bundled procedures, personnel, services and supplies. An example would be room rates that include the space, equipment, nursing personnel and supplies.
When a patient has the opportunity to shop for medical services, he or she should contact his or her own insurance carrier to understand which costs will be covered and which will be the patient’s responsibility.
Patients should contact the hospital directly for any further details.
