The new name, to go with the new location, encompasses the country theme of the shop, as well as the “heart” of this business, which donates all proceeds to worthy causes. In 2015, all proceeds are being donated to support TAMC’s County Dialysis Center. Among those taking part in the ribbon cutting May 11 were, from left: Joe Siddiqui, vice president of human resources for EMHS, Northwest Region; Dr. Roger Pelli, TAMC chief medical information officer; Glenda Dwyer, vice president of TAMC’s medical group; Bruce Sandstrom, TAMC vice president/chief financial officer; Jim McKenney, vice president, TAMC support services; Dr. Jay Reynolds, TAMC chief medical officer/chief clinical officer; Eugene Curtis, TAMC director of support services; Amanda Bonville, guest relations specialist who also works in the gift shop; Sherry Beaulieu, manager of volunteer services, guest relations and the gift shop; Karen Gonya, TAMC communications lead and chamber president; and chamber board members Floyd Rockholt, Gail Clukey, Sarah Brooks, Bonnie Pack, Dawn Poitras and Renée Chalou-Ennis.
