✨ Employee Spotlight: Katy Arnold ✨
Billing Office Representative | 35 Years of Service 💙
This week, we’re celebrating someone whose kindness, loyalty, and warm heart have made a lasting impact on everyone at LFPA: Katy Arnold 🌟
Katy joined Lake Forest Pediatrics in 1990 as a part-time team member in the business office. At the time, she was a new mom seeking balance—and what she found was a second home that grew with her through every chapter of life.
👨👩👧👦 Now the proud mom of three adult children and grandma to now six adorable grandkids, Katy reflects on her journey with deep gratitude:
🗣 “We started on paper… remember superbills? Now look at us! I’ve grown so much alongside this group.”
Over the years, Katy has been a quiet but powerful presence—offering support, sharing laughs, and creating memories with teammates who feel more like family.
🎙 “Katy has a calm, reassuring energy that makes everyone feel seen. Whether it’s a quick hallway check-in or a longer chat, she always makes the effort to ask how you're really doing—and it’s sincere. Her kindness radiates not just in what she says, but how she listens.”
— George Thomas, Executive Director
🎵 Outside of work, Katy enjoys Sunday family dinners, vacations with her crew, and has a soft spot for Mexican food and country music (George Strait & Kacey Musgraves top the list 🎶).
💡Fun fact? She once competed in a 50-mile canoe race as a Girl Scout and later became a certified Canoe Instructor. 💪🚣♀️
Her advice to the world is simple, but powerful:
“Be kind with your words. You never know how long they’ll stay in someone’s mind.”
Thank you, Katy, for showing us that real leadership doesn’t always come from the loudest voice—but from the most consistent heart. 💙
