Kristen Tomke

RN-BSN, MHA

Director of Clinical and Compliance Services 

Kristen feels honored to be given the opportunity to become the Director of Clinical and Compliance Services for Litehouse Health.  She has approximately 17 years of healthcare experience including bedside nursing, nurse leadership, process improvement, risk management, and case management.  After successfully obtaining her BS in Nursing, Kristen worked for nearly a decade in regional Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Units.  When leadership opportunities arose, she felt inspired to obtain an MS in Healthcare Administration specializing in Organizational Leadership and Change Management.  
 
She covered a lot of ground in her nursing career reaching patients in nearly all areas of the lower peninsula of Michigan, both in hospital settings and caring remotely for patients across the state.  She has experience working with all types of healthcare settings, both inpatient and outpatient, as well as experience with large healthcare corporations including United Healthcare and Optum Health.  While navigating through her rewarding career, Kristen has uncovered many passions.  Some of those include helping patients improve their quality of life, working to enhance healthcare processes to promote efficiency and efficacy, and supporting other healthcare professionals to find balance and purpose while caring for others.  
 
She remains a lifelong resident of the Mitten State with her husband and two daughters.  Outside of her professional life, Kristen is a foodie who enjoys curating memorable meals at home for family and friends and visiting local restaurants.  She also enjoys making memories with her family and friends taking road trips to the cabin “up north” on beautiful Lake Huron.
