Mary Kofstad

Mary has been in the healthcare field for 20 years and with the Avamere Family of Companies since 2015. At Avamere and Signature, she developed and refined our nurse practitioner services and led our quality and compliance teams while also spearheading our electronic medical record (EMR) implementation.

As Division President she focuses on the overall operations of Signature’s home health, home care, hospice, and nurse practitioner services to ensure they are accessible, responsive, successful, and quality-driven to improve the lives in the communities we serve.

Clinically, Mary has provided direct patient care in oncology, geriatrics, internal medicine, skilled nursing, and palliative care in hospital and community settings. Mary has led and developed palliative and acute pain programs with cross-functional teams and sat on a national palliative care board. Today she is a member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.

Mary has developed multiple programs over the course of her career. She has implemented evidence-based quality programs, new service lines, accreditation readiness processes, medical management tools, and operational plans for effective financial and quality results.

Mary has a great passion for what she does, and she enjoys working with others. Mary also believes in staying authentic to one’s true self and that integrity of words and actions is what draws people together to accomplish great things. When she’s not working, you can find her enjoying the outdoors with her family. Mary loves sports and game night, and her greatest reward is in being a wife and mother of four curious, strong-willed kids.
