This award is presented annually to a family physician who represents the highest ideals of the specialty of family medicine, including caring, comprehensive medical service, community involvement and service as a role model.
Twenty-seven family physicians from across the state were nominated for the award by community members, co-workers and patients. Six finalists were selected from the field of nominees. After reviewing dozens of nomination letters, the MAFP Board of Directors chose Dr. Kanten as the winner.

RiverView Health Launches Women’s Health Resource Program
My New View Introduced
RiverView Health in Crookston, Minnesota is kicking off a new program designed to connect the women of the region with needed health information, services and programs. Entitled My New View-A Health Connection for Women, this free membership program will collect information from females of all ages on their unique health interests, personal health concerns and history, as well as their personal demographic information. Based on information collected from My New View membership, RiverView will help women gets answers to their health and wellness questions and meet their individual medical needs. My New View will provide features that take advantage of the convenience of the Internet, but will also offer opportunities for those less technology- savvy. “We recognize that more and more women are using the Internet to research their families’ health needs and problems,” said Joy Johnson, Vice President of Planning and Ancillary Services at RiverView Health, “but we also recognize that many women are still looking for information through more traditional channels such as health seminars and written publications. Our program will strive to serve both.”
Starting in May of this year, women will be asked to fill out a My New View membership application, either on the Internet or on paper. The application will request basic information such as name and address, as well as a brief inventory of health interests and concerns. This data will begin to create a basis for upcoming health education programs and resource development for women and their families.
“Women are such a vital part of health decision making for every member of the family,” said Deb Boardman, President/CEO at RiverView Health. “Whether it is for their children, their spouse, an aging parent or themselves, women need to have access to the latest health information and programs designed to meet their unique needs. Knowing what women need and want in terms of healthcare is top priority for us,” Boardman added.
In the near future, RiverView Health will be hosting a kick off event for the My New View program, as well as other activities to inform women of the new program and encourage them to enroll. Those interested in becoming members of My New View are asked to call 218-281-9405.
