Bio
Debb Kalmbach
I've worked with Deb for the past 5 years. She has great communication and leadership skills. She was instrumental in getting our advisory board up and running. She always had great insights and a great style for moving us forward on projects. Her organizational skills and positive can do attitude was always appreciated by our team. Deb would be a welcome addition to any team.

Deb has had some impressive, influential, and powerful employment experience. The one I am most familiar is when she worked as a Supervisor with a Level I Trauma Center (Spectrum Health) to implement and supervise patient and family advisory councils. Deb is an attentive listener and has a vision for developing and building sustainable professional and community relationships. She is a diligent and compassionate leader who is not only candid, caring and creative, but talented in being able to relate to different people from different backgrounds and experiences, while helping them feel valued. I found Deb pleasant to work with, easy to communicate with, and open to constructive thoughts and ideas. Her level of dedication, loyalty, commitment, and a desire to make this world a more accessible place are qualities that any employer would be fortunate to have and should readily covet. I can only hope that our lives continue to cross professionally and personally as Deb is a rare treasure. I am grateful to have known her and worked with her on the Patient and Family Advisory Councils (PFAC) to affect memorable and impactful changes in a bureaucratic system needing ongoing development and reform.
