Taylor Hoehn
Administrative Assistant
After working in healthcare and childcare, Taylor spent several years at an outpatient facility where she worked directly with patients and the billing processes. She developed a special interest in helping patients and families better understand insurance protocols. Taylor became familiar with the added stress this can cause families who are already experiencing the weight of needing health care. Upon the arrival of Taylor’s second child, she left her job to stay home with her children.
As the world evolved into a more “remote-friendly” work environment, Taylor gladly took the opportunity to continue her role as a stay at home mom while jumping into the role as administrative assistant. In her role here she is able to return to her interests in helping responsible parties understand their billing and insurance.
When Taylor is not working, she loves to spend her time with family, especially her husband and three children. When the weather is nice they spend the majority of their time outside. She loves to shop and watch a good show with her husband.
