Outside of processing the payroll, Kristin meets with new hires, learns more about payroll processes and changes, assists with HR events and daily needs.

Payroll makes a big difference in the organization as it pays our employees for their hard and much-appreciated work!

Kari Hammer, RN, BSN, Employee Health. Before stepping into her current role in 2019, Kari has worked in the Emergency Department and Surgery.

She ensures legal compliance and implementation of the organization’s mission and focuses on workforce development. Brook is a resource and support for her team, leaders, and all employees at St. Anthony. Brook says, "It is so rewarding to be a part of a culture that thrives on faith and has a passion to care for patients/residents/tenants when they are at their most vulnerable state or during their happiest moments when welcoming a new child. Although I am not the one providing that care directly to our patients/residents/tenants, I indirectly play a part in the success of our organization by being a part of the employee support system. When employees feel valued, supported, and successful, our patient care thrives. When our patient care thrives, we are all making a difference in the lives of others."
