Introducing Erica Lake  We are excited to announce that Region 6 has welcomed Erica Lake to our team! Erica is joining us as our new Medical and Academic Library Outreach Coordinator. In this role, Erica will engage with our academic and hospital librarians as well as library school programs and students. She will also serve as the region's lead DOCLINE coordinator, and produce the monthly Health Highlights newsletter. Erica will be working remotely for us from Duluth, MN. Erica is an accomplished health sciences librarian with more than 20 years of experience in the field, including 11 years as a hospital librarian with Intermountain Healthcare in Salt Lake City, UT, eight years as an academic librarian with the Eccles Health Sciences Library at the University of UT, and one and a half years as a Research and Evaluation Specialist with the Essentia Institute of Rural Health in Duluth, MN. She has presented more than 45 papers and posters at national, regional, and state conferences, and has received numerous honors and awards, including being named MLA’s 2018 Consumer Health Librarian of the Year. Her research interests include inter-professional team-based approaches to health care delivery, the integration of  library services into the electronic health record, and the impact of library services on quality, outcomes, and costs in health care processes.
