Riverwood Healthcare Center is pleased to introduce Provider Recruitment Specialist Alaina Hagestuen.
In her new role in Provider Recruitment, Hagestuen will oversee and coordinate the entire process of attracting, screening, interviewing, hiring and onboarding new medical staff members to Riverwood, focusing on finding the best providers who have a passion for providing care and making an impact in our rural communities.
“With a passion for marketing and communications, Alaina is well suited to this important role of recruiting physicians and advanced clinicians who will find a good fit here,” said Riverwood Chief Operating Office Cindi Baker. “The experience she gained in her internship at Riverwood last year gives her a unique advantage along with her strong communications abilities.”
Hagestuen, a graduate of Aitkin High School, earned a bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Leadership with a concentration in Healthcare Administration from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn. She completed an administrative internship with Riverwood in 2024.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Alaina to this vital role,” said Tanya Pietz, Foundation Director at Riverwood. “Her commitment to our community and enthusiasm for building strong provider relationships will greatly support our mission of delivering exceptional care close to home.”
Hagestuen comments on her new role, “What I love about healthcare is that it truly takes a village to deliver quality, equitable care. I’m excited to help build that village by finding dedicated providers for the community I grew up in.”
Away from work, Hagestuen enjoys reading, time with family and friends, hiking and other outdoor activities.
