Member Update
Kristen Fox, SPHR, MBA
Region 9 Consultant
 Kristen
graduated with a BA from the University
of Washington in
Political Science. Her goal was to work for a couple of years and
then return to school to pursue a Juris Doctorate. A few months after
graduating, Kristen had a neighbor approach her about an open, entry-level
Human Resources position at her company. She asked if Kristen was
interested. Kristen replied, “Sure, but what is Human
Resources?” Fifteen years have gone by since that conversation and
Kristen could not imagine working in any other profession. If you
were to ask her, Kristen would say that she is part of a lucky few where
her career and passion found her on that day.
Kristen entered Healthcare Human Resources in 1999 with
a small break in employment in 2002 to go back to school for her MBA at Keller Graduate
School in Boulder, CO.
Again, Kristen believes that entering Healthcare Human Resources happened
for a reason. She knows that in her role, she is able to make a
difference and that she does have an impact on patient care and community
support. Kristen looks forward to sharing her passion with other
practitioners, helping and teaching as opportunities present
themselves.
Kristen is currently the Director of Human Resources for
Kadlec Regional
Medical Center
in Richland, WA. Kadlec is a 188 bed facility
with 1800 employees. In her role, Kristen oversees all aspects of
Human Resources, as well as Employee and Occupational Health.
