Tim has worked at Yale for over 36 years after graduating from Yale in 1977 with a BA in English. His experience with Yale Health began as an undergrad.

He has worked in a variety of roles since returning to New Haven in 1983, most recently in Business Operations/Finance. Outside of Yale he is the volunteer Treasurer for the Yale Club of New Haven, Yale Track Association, Yale GALA, United Church on the Green, United Church of Christ New Haven Association, and head of the Investment Committee for the United Church of Christ Connecticut Conference. Interests include spending time with his friends, reading, traveling, hiking, running and anything that takes him outdoors. He enjoys walking to work which he has done for his entire 36 yrs at Yale. One of his particular interests is what happens with your health care upon retirement from Yale.

Kristin’s interest in the Patient & Family Council is closely tied to her previous career in market research, and her more recent focus on supporting quality improvement efforts in a human service non-profit agency in Hartford. She has witnessed how important and impactful consumer and client voices can be across a wide variety of businesses and organizations, and she is happy to now be contributing her voice as a patient to the council.

In her free time, Kristin enjoys getting outdoors to go on walks, and spending time with her husband and daughter.
