Mikayla Turek

I grew up in a small town in Orange City, Iowa, then moved to St. Paul, MN, to earn my bachelor’s degree in health sciences. I majored in biokinetics, with a minor in psychology and an endorsement in healthcare. During my years at university, I was engaged in the biokinetics club and Bethel’s track and field team, where I earned the title of All-American four times. Beyond my personal interest in health and wellness, my recent work experience includes serving others as a home health aid, team lifting coach, and certified personal trainer. My passion is helping others achieve their highest quality of life possible, regardless of age or physical ability.

My past experience as a personal trainer allowed me the opportunity for clear and consistent communication, schedule coordination, and properly handling patient inquiries.

A few core values that I personally adhere to are to treat others how you want to be treated and to do everything to the best of your ability.

As a patient care coordinator, my main responsibilities are to schedule patients, coordinate new patient intake calls, and handle check-ins and insurance.

I often see patients who are in a time of transition, where they are healthy enough to stay out of the hospital but need more professional help and knowledge to either maintain or improve their health. I want them to find the help they need to achieve their health and mobility goals.

All staff genuinely care about the quality of care that patients receive.

I enjoy running, watching movies, reading, or spending time with my fiancé in my free time.
