From Dietary to Internal Medicine: The Inspiring Journey of RiverView’s Unbeatable Team Player, Shannon Proulx

Shannon Proulx, LPN at RiverView Health’s Internal Medicine Department, is a shining example of what Vince Lombardi meant when he said that individual commitment to a group effort drives success. Together with Dr. Bosun Fashoro, they make an unbeatable team and have been managing one of RiverView’s busiest practices effortlessly.

Shannon began her career in high school, working in the dietary department before earning her LPN. After a few years at Glenmore Recovery (now RiverView Recovery Center), she transitioned to her current role at RiverView’s Crookston Clinic. Even after starting at the clinic, Shannon continued to work weekends at Glenmore for several more years, demonstrating her strong work ethic and dedication to helping others.

A native and resident of Crookston, Shannon shares her life with her significant other, Nate Magsam, and their blended family of children ranging from 16 to 24 years old and their dog, Nelly. The family enjoys spending time at their cabin on Island Lake, where Shannon finds peace and fulfills her dream of living by a lake full-time. In her free time, Shannon enjoys ice fishing, running, and walking Nelly while cherishing moments with her loved ones.

Upon receiving the Employee of the Month recognition for May, Shannon expressed her surprise and gratitude for the award. She feels fortunate to work alongside some of the best nurses and doctors at RiverView and credits Dr. Fashoro as a mentor who has taught her valuable lessons over the years. Shannon’s dedication to teamwork and commitment to providing excellent care make her an invaluable asset to RiverView Health.

In conclusion, Shannon Proulx exemplifies Vince Lombardi’s words that individual commitment to a group effort drives success in all aspects of life – be it in teams or society as a whole. Her passion for helping others combined with her strong work ethic make her an inspiration not only within RiverView but also beyond its walls.
