Kathrine Baumann joins Gifford in community relations role

Gifford Health Care has hired Kathrine Baumann as its new community relations coordinator. Baumann moved to the Randolph area five years ago and immediately became immersed in the community. As a youth group mentor at Bethany Church, she worked with and got to know many of the community’s younger members.

“I’m excited to give back to a community that has given so much to me,” Baumann said.

Gifford hosted a successful listening tour through several towns last summer and plans to host another tour in 2023. The tours are opportunities for people to share community health needs with Gifford's senior leaders and board members. Part of Baumann’s role is to address those needs and help find a resolution.

“I have spent most of my career helping others, but now I have the unique opportunity to be in a position where I can really make an impact on people’s health and well-being,” Baumann said. “That’s something I do not take lightly.”
