Employee training recap
In July, Tania Maalouly, our Client Care Director, led a Medical Intake Training. The training has been made into a step-by-step slideshow to help anyone that is doing an intake from start to finish. It will be printed and distributed to each house next week.
If you are in the Medical or Operations department, please review the slides and complete this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdCAv-KCMr0qF9lb_5HX2wgYJcIukbKr2j5JOHXhijY5SXS4Q/viewform
New member of the Asana Recovery team
We would like to welcome a new member of staff!
Before working at Asana, Kellie attended California State University, Fullerton from 2019-2021 where she gained a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a concentration in Clinical Movement Studies. Her goal is to continue her education and become a PA in the future.
In her free time, she loves to work out and has competed in a few local weightlifting competitions. She also works as a science and math tutor at Orange Coast College. She is happiest when she spends time with her friends and family and also enjoys spending time with her two dogs; a big Husky Shepard named Charlie and a six-month-old puppy that she just adopted named Raven.
She got started in the additions industry because she loves to offer help to others in the way it was offered to her. She says, “Working in the addiction industry is very personal to me as I have seven years sober and went through treatment myself. I love paying forward the gifts that have been so freely given to me and seeing individuals transform their lives.”
Kellie joins Asana Recovery as a Medical Technician. She works to record data and communicate with physicians for medical clearance in relation to treatment, planning, and discharge. She also has knowledge of detox medications, observes patients, collects samples, and conducts nursing assessments and client monitoring.

Local food suggestion
This week’s local food recommendation comes from Crystal: Beef chorizo breakfast burritos ($10.99) from Nate’s Corner in Santa Ana.
This burrito comes with two eggs, cheese, salsa, and hashbrowns. Crystal says they are big enough to share! You can get them prepared in a wrap or in a bowl, and choose between spicy or regular.
Nate’s Corner is located at 3960 South Main Street, Santa Ana, CA, 92707.
It is open from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., seven days a week.
