Presenter: Katy Sperl, M.S.M, PHR, SHRM-CP
Katy joined Androscoggin Home Healthcare + Hospice in November of 2018 bringing with her experience in human resource management, process improvement and small hospital administration. Katy holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Merchandising and Business from Valparaiso University, and a Master of Science degree in Healthcare Administration from New England College. As the Chief Administrative Officer at Androscoggin, Katy has been able to bring all of herself to her work, playing upon her passion for constructive thinking and problem solving, always with a focus on the culture of an organization to achieve alignment with strategy and vision.
“When I arrived at Androscoggin I realized that my understanding of home healthcare and hospice care was very limited. The more that I work with our staff and listen to their days’ work, my appreciation grows for the high-level patient-focused care that is provided with compassion and integrity in our communities. It is not easy work. At Androscoggin, as with most organizations, our mission and values are posted on the wall. What makes us different, is that the mission and values are also written on the hearts of our employees. I am so happy to be a part of it all.”
Katy, along with husband Jim and son Bradley (now a college senior) has lived, worked, and played in the greater L/A area for 30+ years. She is dedicated to community involvement and has served holding office on several non-profit and charitable boards, as well as work with the Center for Wisdom’s Women and Sophia’s House in Lewiston.
