Ed Ruano

Territory Sales Manager

My name is Ed Ruano, I am a Territory Sales Manager. I was originally born in Anaheim but was raised in Corona. My family is great but can be a handful. I have two girls, 8 and 6, and two boys, 3 and 5 months old.

Most of my spare time is spent with my family going out, being poolside, watching movies, or being at the park with my kids. One of the hobbies I enjoy is taking care of my fish tank.

I went to school at the University of California Santa Cruz where I studied history with a concentration in the Americas, Europe, and Africa.

What I like most about what I do is the difference we make for our customers and being part of a great team of dedicated professionals who make a difference in the healthcare industry.

Graphic Designer

Hello! My name is Christy and I am the Graphic Designer over in Marketing. It’s nice to meet you (if we haven’t met already)! Working at Med One has been an amazing experience. The company culture is something I deeply appreciate—there’s a genuine sense of camaraderie and mutual respect among the team. It’s rare to find a company that genuinely cares about helping others, and that’s what makes Med One special.

I’m originally from Jakarta, Indonesia, and I moved to the United States in 1999. It’s an adventure that has been both exciting and challenging, but it’s one that has shaped who I am today. Side note: I actually learned English by watching Scooby-Doo; luckily, I didn’t pick up Scooby’s accent!

I graduated from the University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College. In terms of design, I think my style is rooted in creativity, dedication, and a continuous desire to learn and evolve.

My family and I live just South of Salt Lake City, and we’re surrounded by the most amazing mountains; Mt. Olympus is our favorite. There’s something about the vast, open spaces and towering peaks that makes us feel at home. Whenever we leave Utah, we get claustrophobic. The mountains just make everything feel so much bigger and more grand.

My husband, Daniel, and I have a 9-year-old son named Lucian, who is the sweetest little boy (I might be slightly biased); he’s also the most adorable little punk. Both Lucian and Daniel have a big heart and such a playful spirit. Being with them is constant entertainment, and I feel so lucky to have them in my life.

My journey has taken me from Jakarta to Salt Lake City, and along the way, I’ve been blessed with opportunities and relationships that have enriched my life in countless ways. I have so much gratitude and feel so incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by such amazing individuals, both at work and at home. I cherish every moment and I’m excited for what the future holds :)

Receptionist

Happy Fall Y’all! My name is Melissa Stevens, and you’ll find I’m quite passionate about a few things. One is Fall as we have such beautiful mountains surrounding us. I love the rainbow of colors that appear, the cooler temperatures, all things pumpkin flavored, and of course, Halloween!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because it’s the day we can all be kids and play dress up. This fun became a dream come true for me 10 years ago when I joined Gardner Village and became a performing character! I have 5 playful characters for several seasonal events that are all held at this enchanted place. I love the opportunity to create some whimsical magic in a child and family’s life as they come to visit and celebrate the season with us.

My family at home consists of my amazing, oh so patient and loving husband, Mike! (We celebrated 22 years on the 22nd of June this year!) We have four kids – Makenna (18), Maisy (15), Mirabella (13), and Mark (10). Four kids and four schools – I am not old enough for this! We have a lot of fun, daily spontaneous moments, wild emotions, and creativity packed in our little house in Draper.

A few of my favorite hobbies are hiking, playing games, scrapbooking, traveling, and I am also considered an entomophile! I’ve always been a people person; I especially love kids. I attended Utah State University and received my bachelor’s degree and teaching license for Elementary Education. I taught first grade for four years and preschool for over 15 years. I just stopped teaching last year but still get to help kids by being a crossing guard.

I have been working at Med One as a part-time receptionist for 3 years now and have loved getting to know so many of you. I really enjoy what I do here and everyone I have met and work with. Thank you all for your friendly smiles and kind gestures as you pass me at the front desk. I look forward to getting to know you all more.

Kenzie Tait

Business Development Specialist

I was born and raised in Utah and have loved living here. I grew up with 2 older sisters, an older brother, and a twin brother. I have the best parents, and my older siblings are married, I have 3 nieces and a nephew that I adore. I love doing fun things with my family & friends and we always have a good time together. When we have free time, we’re usually at the golf course or anywhere else with a beach or ice cream.

My favorite things involve anything outdoors, traveling, sports, music & dance, but my top talent is probably hula hooping while playing the piano! I grew up with horses, so I love riding, and have a dog!

I was at SUU for a year and loved my time there before serving a mission for my church in England! I really love England, the beautiful scenery, and awesome people there. I came home almost a year ago and immediately started working at Med One and have loved my time here. I am a part of the Lead Gen team and have learned so much, the best part of Med One is definitely the people I get to work with!
