Editor's Letter

Something For Everyone

From regional healthcare providers to chimney sweeps to creative sandwich names, Connect Business Magazine covers the gamut this July/August issue to offer everyone something.

“Regional healthcare providers” refers to The Mankato Clinic, locally owned and operated for about 100 years, and always with sensitive hearts caringly responding to next-door neighbors’ healthcare needs. This 135 physician-strong clinic is one of the largest privately owned multi-specialty practices in Minnesota, with curative outposts in Mapleton, Lake Crystal, North Mankato, and St. Peter—besides a half dozen locations in hometown Mankato. Lately, the Clinic itself has been pregnant and soon will give birth to a 56,000 sq. ft. Mankato Clinic Children’s Health Center.

Next, “chimney sweeps” could only mean Liz and Steve Melcher of Melcher’s Power-Vac, a long-time, one-of-a-kind, Janesville service business that cleans air ducts, chimneys and dryer vents. Finally, “creative sandwiches” refers to Mike Steindl and his tasty collection of Erbert & Gerbert’s franchises in Mankato (two), St. Peter, and North Mankato.

Finally, and now finishing his eighteenth year at Connect Business Magazine, the editor would like to thank all our enthusiastic readers and advertisers for allowing him to have so much fun over so many years.

Sursum ad summum,
Daniel J. Vance
