Congratulations to Michelle Payne, who became a Board Certified Specialist in Swallowing

Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders, "the BCS-S specialist provides appropriate, evidence-based
treatment techniques to address the swallowing problem(s) of each individual, based
upon the comprehensive swallowing assessment." To earn this certification, Payne devoted
a significant amount of time advancing her clinical practice providing the latest
clinical approaches to treat dysphagia and increasing her knowledge of current advances
on research in this field. Payne is one of two speech-language pathologists who is
a board-certified specialist in swallowing and swallowing disorders in St. Louis.
Samkon Gado, M.D.
2018: 3rd Quarter Humanistic Healing Award Recipient
Gado is a true advocate for each patient he sees. He has excellent bedside manner
and delivers holistic, innovative, and spiritual care through his outreach to Nigeria
and for the patients of our community. Gado saw a patient with nasal complaints and
took the time to provide routine care and explain the dangers of chronic daily opioid
use. He personally accompanied a patient to the hospital for admission and took additional
time to speak with the family of a disabled patient who needed extra attention for
recurrent nosebleeds.
