| We are proud to recognize Kristine Gallagher Sargsyan as PCC’s 2025 Employee of the Year. Selected from nominations submitted by the Senior Leadership Team, Kristine was honored for her exceptional contributions and for consistently exemplifying PCC’s values of service, quality, and sustainability. Over the past year, Kristine’s impact has reached across the organization. In addition to her outstanding work on the External Affairs team, she stepped into the role of Compliance Officer, leading PCC’s HIPAA compliance efforts with diligence, professionalism, and care. Her work has strengthened trust, accountability, and confidence in PCC as a valued healthcare partner. |  |
Kristine also played a critical role in supporting the Finance and Health Care Access teams. She audited and identified outstanding accounts receivable, tracked corrected invoices for the Maryland Cancer Fund, and worked closely with Maryland Department of Health staff to strengthen relationships and safeguard critical funding streams. During the vacancy of the Senior Program Manager for Montgomery Cares, Kristine seamlessly backfilled responsibilities, ensuring uninterrupted services while maintaining her own workload. She also led the design and implementation of PCC’s site audit process, conducting audits and helping train the incoming Senior Program Manager.
Known for her positivity, reliability, and commitment to excellence, Kristine consistently strengthens PCC’s internal operations while ultimately improving the experience of providers and patients we serve. “Kristine brings exceptional integrity, care, and leadership to every aspect of her work. Her ability to step in wherever she is needed—while still elevating the quality of our systems and services—embodies the very best of PCC’s mission. We are deeply grateful for her contributions and proud to honor her as our Employee of the Year,” related PCC President Annice Cody.
Reflecting on the recognition, Kristine expressed her gratitude and appreciation for her colleagues, sharing: “I am very grateful for this recognition, and I know none of it would be possible without my PCC colleagues. This work is truly a team effort, and I am thankful every day to be part of an organization where collaboration, support, and a shared commitment to our mission are so deeply valued.”
Beyond her role at PCC, Kristine is deeply engaged in community leadership. She mentors emerging leaders through the Healthcare Council’s Young Leaders Mentorship Program and joined the Board of Directors of the Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR), Baltimore Chapter, in March 2026. Committed to continuous professional growth, she also participated in the Leadership Montgomery CORE Program 2025, where she was selected as part of a competitive cohort of senior executives from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Through the program, she developed a strong understanding of Montgomery County governance and built lasting relationships with county and cross-sector leaders to strengthen her leadership and community impact.
Please join us in congratulating Kristine on this well-deserved recognition and thanking her for the lasting impact she continues to make at PCC.
