Our Team
Dana Lewis
Dana has been in medical sales for over 23 years. The course of her career would involve a few large companies, including Smiths Medical and Stryker, but she found the perfect fit in Independent Representation Contracting where she got to choose what companies she represented. This freedom allowed her to select products and technologies that are truly unique and offer advantages that impact clinical practice and patient outcomes. The extreme irony is that some of her portfolios focus on Neonatal products/technologies for premature babies. In 2003, she had her first son Carter two months early at 32-weeks. Carter spent 3 weeks at the Banner Desert NICU and is an amazing 17-year old today. As a result of her experience, she is extremely involved in the March of Dimes and served as the Arizona Ambassador Family in 2019.
Kim Appel
Kim Appel has more than 20 years of clinical experience and served as a Clinical Specialist for two respiratory device manufacturers prior to partnering with Performance Medical. Her professional interests include infection control, collaborative healthcare, and educating patients, families and practitioners in the benefits of innovative medical products and therapeutic techniques. In her free time, she loves to be outdoors doing just about anything!
Alex McCann
Alex began his healthcare sales career over 20 years ago and places the highest value in consultative sales. Alex has worked in both Acute and Post-Acute care settings, working directly with everyone from clinicians to Supply Chain. He has experience in Wound Care, Respiratory and NICU helping organizations with product selection and streamlining their supply chain processes. Alex is married with 6 kids, which keeps him busy outside of work. Alex enjoys fishing, cross-fit and traveling to off-the-beaten-path destinations with his family.
Shay Lawson
Shay beat a path to Performance Medical in large part due to the experiences his family shared at the St. Louis Children’s Hospital NICU. Shay's primary goal is to add value and provide support to the Neonatal Intensive Care Units and hospitals that he serves.
Previously, Shay worked in Facilities Management for a national healthcare provider. He graduated with Honors from the University of Missouri with a degree in Communications. In his free time Shay enjoys over-landing his vehicles or trailing his enduro bike in the desert.
Michael Parker
Mike brings 39 years of sales success in the Respiratory and Neonatal spaces; his product experience includes ventilators, transcutaneous monitoring, infant warmers and incubators. He continues to sell in the RT and NICU spaces today. Mike’s reputation for superior service has led to strong customer relationships by meeting the needs of clinicians and patients. You may catch Mike sailing boats or taking a weekend getaway somewhere exciting!
