We are pleased to introduce Kristen Gustavsen, Performance Improvement Specialist at #YorkHospital.
Kristen spent her youth here in York and is happy to call it home, all these years later. Growing up, she spent a lot of time as a child in the YH Emergency Room while her rowdy brothers were treated for one injury or another.
Kristen joined York Hospital back in 2003 after spending some time as a freelance graphic artist. Her brother, Dave, was already working here at York. Based on his experiences, she knew that she, too, wanted to be a part of the York Hospital family. Her time here at YH has come full circle as she started with the Patient Quality team, spent some time in the Vaccine Clinic, and then in 2015 rejoined the Patient Quality team.
Throughout her 17 years (and counting!) at York Hospital, Kristen says her current role is the best because she gets to support caregivers face to face throughout the organization. She feels most fulfilled in her current position because she wants caregivers to know their voice matters. She is helping to improve both patient and caregiver safety throughout the organization.
Outside of York Hospital, Kristen spends a lot of time with her large family: her three children ranging in ages 16-31. Her hobbies include painting with watercolors, reading and writing novels (she has several in the works just waiting to be published in her head), and knitting.
Kristen said she only knits scarves because the patterns are straight, as she is a "really bad" knitter. Her current challenge is to read 12 books in 12 months, and she has already read three this year.
"Many people don't know that I am a singer and was in a band at the age of 9." Kristen was the secret weapon in her brothers' band growing up, and this summer, they are reuniting with performances here in town.
When asked, "What are you passionate about?" she replied, "I know this will sound corny, but I just want everyone to be kind to one another. There is a lot of darkness in the world, but just by listening to them, making them laugh, or giving them a hug, you can change someone's life." She speaks from experience. The love & kindness she's received from fellow caregivers over the years has pulled her out of the depths. "This family supported me when both my husband and brother (who was also a caregiver at YH) passed away, and I will forever be grateful for their kindness."
Thank you, Kristen, for living out York Hospital's vision of Loving Kindness every day, whether you are at work or play! We appreciate your dedication to the mission of York Hospital.
You're the best!
