After beginning her professional career journey in banking, Kelly Carlson was looking for a growth opportunity in a new industry. With her degree and several years of financial and process execution acumen, Kelly accepted her first position at CBHA as a medical records clerk.
While she was working in medical records, she seized the opportunity to obtain a certification in healthcare compliance, building on her background in banking compliance. Kelly would go on to obtain additional certifications which include medical coding, MGMA's Medical Practice Executive, and most recently SHRM's Senior Certified Professional.
During her 16 years at CBHA, Kelly has demonstrated her aptitude and drive to learn more about the healthcare industry. From Medical Records, Kelly moved to the Call Center as a Supervisor, and later shifted to Director of Member Navigations which included direct oversight of our referrals and medical records departments. She then would go on to Human Resources, obtaining a designation from the Professional Society of Human Resources Management.
In her current role as Vice President of Administrative Services, Kelly oversees Human Resources, Administrative/Executive Assistants, and Compliance Programs at CBHA. One of her goals in this position is to make CBHA a place of choice for employment, through supporting and helping to develop staff to achieve their highest potential within the organization.
Kelly continues to demonstrate leadership and continued learning in her work at CBHA. This dedication to learning, coupled with CBHA's cultural values of professional growth, training and education, has made CBHA a top performer in federally qualified health centers across the country.
