Welcoming New Controller Kimberly Foster

As you may have seen in the papers recently, Tapestry Health now has a complete Executive Team. In December we welcomed Kimberly Foster as our new Controller and key financial leader for the organization. Kim has nearly 30 years of combined operations and financial management experience, including experience shepherding organizations through major transitions. During her tenure as Director of Finance and Administration at the National Religious Partnership for the Environment, Kimberly assured an efficient and seamless executive leadership changeover. She comes to Tapestry from her position of Finance and Operations Director at the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society in Northampton. Welcome, Kim!

Kim Foster, Controller

“For 15 years I worked in the for-profit sector in Boston. It was an excellent training ground, although I prefer to use my business skills for organizations that are helping people in practical, tangible ways. I was drawn to Tapestry Health because it is well-established and has a well-defined mission, as well as a track record of helping people in ways that can make a difference in their lives. Tapestry tracks the impact of its services very closely, and measures the outcomes. It is just so clear that we are making a difference.


I also have a background in contemplative practices. It makes me feel connected to humanity to use my skills to help serve diverse and underprivileged populations, and to provide health related services to those who would not otherwise be able to afford health care. I believe that all people are connected and that Tapestry’s work is an important and concrete expression of compassion for others. I find great satisfaction in offering my practical skills in support of Tapestry’s mission.”
