The Willkommen Committee recently visited New Ulm Medical Center (NUMC) to celebrate several new providers.  Jacob Esser, MAc, LAc, an acupuncturist who started March 2023, lives in Shakopee and loves New Ulm because it reminds him of his hometown and has a great community that’s helped him build his client base.  Dan Vogel, LAc, is also an acupuncturist who lives in Belle Plaine who started at NUMC two years ago.  He loves Allina for its great culture and the way that they are recognized and appreciated.  Patricia de Loyal, MPAS, PA-C, works in the Express Care department at NUMC and is originally from Germany.  She lives in Hutchinson and loves her 45-minute commute through the beautiful countryside.  Ann Daub, MSW, LICSW, has worked in the mental health field for 20 years and is thrilled with the culture at Allina and her ability to help patients.  She enjoys hearing peoples’ stories and helping to guide them in the right direction.
