In the April edition of Minnesota Veteran, we introduced our Brand Ambassador (BA) program representatives with a focus on one of our newest Homes markets, Bemidji. This month, we introduce our Montevideo Veterans Home Brand Ambassadors.

Through our current employee recruitment campaigns, BAs share with their local community—and potential staff—the purpose they feel serving those who served and talk about what makes Minnesota Veterans Homes workplaces of choice.

This month, we introduce our Montevideo Veterans Home Brand Ambassadors. Please meet:

Jordan Bornhorst, Physical Therapist/Rehab Coordinator:

“I wanted to serve those who have given so much to us. The mission of MDVA is also one I hold personally."

"At MDVA I'm better able to serve the Veterans, as a whole. We have better access to the equipment they need."

"I am grateful to have a role where I get to spend so much time with the Residents getting to know them and their families. I love being a part of improving their quality of life.”

Amanda Tell, Health Information Specialist:

“I applied for this position because I was seeking a more challenging opportunity within my field. I stay because even with the challenges there is so much more of a reward at the end of the day."

"It's just been a lot of fun. Getting to know their families, getting to know them, and being able to serve them."

"One of my favorite things is the countless memories I have made with the Veterans and my coworkers. It feels like everyone is family.”

Look for information on the Preston Veterans Home BAs next month.

BAs for our five legacy Veterans Homes in Fergus Falls, Hastings, Luverne, Minneapolis and Silver Bay will be introduced in the near future.
