Jean Covillo, owner of Excel Anesthesia, attended the 2014 MOANA Lobby Day in Jefferson City on February 5, 2014.  It was a day to talk to lawmakers about issues affecting CRNAs

MOANA held a reception on Tuesday evening which drew a large turnout of legislators. Although the official “Lobby Day” was cancelled due to heavy snow fall, we (the 5 MoANA Members who were able to arrive ahead of the weather) continued with Lobby Day nevertheless. With so few of us in attendance, we had to cover a lot of ground to ensure we visited as many legislators as we could.

It was definitely an eye opening experience.  We were there to educate our representatives about the role that CRNAs play in providing quality healthcare rather than discuss any upcoming legislation.  We were pleased that the Senators and Representatives that took time to meet with us were open to hearing what we had to say.

Brant met Jean during an on-site support visit while working for Umbrella Managed Systems, a KC based IT service provider. She appreciated his calm, intellectual demeanor and his knack for explaining complex technical processes in an easy to understand, straightforward manner.

Brant wears many hats when working for Excel Anesthesia. He is responsible for our information technology ranging from vendor management, user support and system maintenance. Brant also works directly with Jean on new initiatives for the expanding practice. He is involved in the marketing efforts through the website and various social media applications, as well as general managerial oversight of the company office staff.

Brant is definitely not your stereotypical “IT” guy. He has a delightfully outgoing personality and a knack for providing technical explanations for those of us who just want to know what button to push to either make it work or mute the alarm!

When not at the office, Brant spends time with his wife, son and daughter. They love traditional family pastimes like board games, cards and watching movies. Brant is taking Tae-Kwon-Do with his son and is a soccer dad for his daughter. Brant enjoys playing golf whenever he finds time between playing handyman around the house and tinkering with Macs, iPods and iPads. He’s a geek for sure and a big fan of all things Apple.

We are very happy and fortunate to have Brant on the Excel Anesthesia team!

 

The holidays were a quiet time at Excel. There was no official office party this year but there were treats in the form of popcorn tins and truffles sent to the office by our CRNAs! Jenny and Brant brought in homemade candies and cookies, some of which have yet to be eaten. Don’t worry, they WILL get eaten, but we are trying to pace ourselves.

Thanks to all those who contributed to our holiday cheer with treats and well wishes.

We are looking forward to 2014 with excitement and a renewed enthusiasm. We are positioned for growth this year and expect to be adding new clients in the first few months. We hired a new CRNA who will be starting in February and have hired new office staff as well (look for more detail about them in future posts!)
