Katy Sperl

Katherine (Katy) Sperl joined Androscoggin Home Healthcare + Hospice in November of 2018 bringing with her 28 years of experience in all aspects of human resource management. Katy holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Merchandising and Business from Valparaiso University, and a Master of Science degree in Healthcare Administration from New England College.

Finding her first job as an HR Assistant and moving into other areas of HR, Katy decided, quite by accident, that this was a vocation she could enjoy. To aid in further learning she gained certification as a Professional in Human Resources in 2004 and then in 2015 a certified professional with the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM-CP). Both require ongoing education and learning which helps keep her focus on human resources fresh and up to date. Katy also found a passion for process improvement, clinical microsystems, and facilitation. “Helping a teamwork to find the root of a problem and then facilitating resolution and continued success has been some of my most rewarding work.”

While working within the Central Maine Healthcare system, Katy had the opportunity to work in small hospital administration which turned into a professional sweet spot for her in the ease of communication, decision making, and managing change. This environment also enabled her to have the opportunity to manage and work closely with clinical departments and support staff.

Katy is well known and respected for being an individual that is well-grounded in values and professionalism with years of progressive leadership experience. She possesses a passion for constructive thinking and problem solving always with a focus on the culture of an organization to achieve alignment with strategy and vision. Katy says that “doing the right thing, at the right time, for the right reasons and with the right people is vitally important to supporting the most important resource, an organization’s people.”

A longtime resident of the greater Lewiston / Auburn community, Katy is dedicated to community involvement and has served to hold office on several non-profit and charitable boards. Katy is currently involved on the Steering Committee and Operations Team for Sophia’s House, a residential community to open in Lewiston in December 2019 for women who have experienced trauma and imprisonment from drug addiction, abuse, and human trafficking. When not at work, you may find her in the garden, reading, or searching out old and interesting things.
